Students were asked - what is the most important thing to know about this rental company?

  1. The Cottages are ingenuine, rude, money stealers. They have no concern for ANY residents and want the most out of our wallets. Terrible here. (January 2024)
  2. Expensive.Twenty minute Appalcart ride to campus. Repairs and cleaning not complete by move-in date. Slow response to maintenance requests. (January 2024)
  3. NOT WORTH IT. TRY TO GET ON CAMPUS. DO EVERYTHING TO GET ON CAMPUS.THIS IS A NIGHTMARE. (January 2024)
  4. Big rooms, has guest parking, everything breaks. (January 2024)
  5. They lied about how much our rent would be. We dont have a working dishwasher or clothes dryer, and they lied about when they would fix them. (January 2024)
  6. Weekends can get loud from the parties. The hill can be tedious, especially with snow storms. (January 2024)
  7. The units are not well constructed, and if you are looking for a quiet place, it isn't for you. (January 2024)
  8. Extreme lack of communication from management. House came destroyed and still has issues. Rent is way too high for the given amenities. (January 2024)
  9. They have undergone new management every year that I have lived there (3). They really dont [care] about their residents, just money. (January 2024)
  10. Its expenive to start, but a good place to be, if you can get in. (January 2024)
  11. They charge an extremely high rent, and the quality of the house is awful. Our couch had blood stains and water comes out of our kitchen light. (January 2024)
  12. Good fun complex, simple repairs are done quickly, but more important repairs take forever, if they ever get fixed. (January 2024)
  13. Management is okay. Amenities dont even work and they dont fix them. Also way to expensive for what you get, but that is everywhere. (January 2024)
  14. There will be damages when you move in, and they wont get fixed. If they do, it takes forever. Most dryers dont work very well in the units. (January 2024)
  15. Very nice apartments. Under new management. Overall happy, as long as you know how to fix your own things. (January 2024)
  16. The Cottages are great, but they are getting way too expensive. I went from paying $815 to $1090. That is absolutely ridiculous. (January 2024)
  17. I thoroughly enjoy living here. Been here 2 years, and next year will be my 3rd. Very excited to see what the future holds for this property. (January 2024)
  18. The landlords will not help you, the water is gross, and broken things stay broken. Its extremely overpriced and they target students in need. (January 2024)
  19. Cottages do stand as a nice community, more private than typical apartments, and amenities are good. Maintenance picks and chooses when to come. (January 2024)
  20. If you do not have a top floor bedroom room, the Cottages is not worth your money. Lots of plumbing issues, especially in basement rooms. (January 2024)
  21. Failed to be cleaned after previous tenant. Animal fecal stains and hair all over my carpet. 5 weeks to be cleaned and >7 unanswered emails. (January 2024)
  22. Maintenance requests likely will not be fulfilled timely, rental rates rose exponentially, and [does not] value communication. (January 2024)
  23. Not worth it. Lies about actual rent prices. Terrible maintenance. House in terrible condition from the start -- just falling apart. (January 2024)
  24. The Cottages is not worth your money. Far from campus, AWFUL management, and extremely elusive and unreliable when leasing comes around. (January 2024)
  25. Management is better now. (January 2024)
  26. It's not as bad as most people say, but it's also not the best place to live. (January 2024)
  27. Prepare to clean before you move in because itll be dirty. (January 2024)
  28. People do not stop at stop signs and speed through the parking lot. (January 2024)
  29. It is overpriced and disgusting. Everything in the gym is broken, pool is always closed, post office doesnt notify for months. Despicable. (January 2024)
  30. Stand-alone house for rent at the cottages. You have your OWN bathroom which is always a plus! (January 2024)
