Off-Campus Student Services

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

1. Be wary of Winkler. This leasing company has raised rent a total of 200 dollars between 2021-2023 and make you re-sign the lease in November. (Winkler Adams Complex) January 2024
2. The price has been raised over the last 2-3 years with no improvements made to unit. Suitable but not fantastic conditions. (Cardinal 1 Apartments) January 2024
3. Very close to Leon Levine Hall! Farther away from campus but easy to get to via AppalCart. (Cardinal 1 Apartments) January 2024
4. The fire alarms go off constantly and the whole building is required to evacuate. Not worth $800 per person for FOUR people. (East Village) January 2024
5. Theres no amenities at all, and the parking lot [is] so bad. (East Village) January 2024
6. Most units dont have windows in Wilcox Warehouse. (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
7. This is a great option if you plan to live here the whole year! However, it is difficult to sublease at this property. (East Village) January 2024
8. Maintenance is quick with response times, but its hard to contact leasing office so it is best to just go in person! Overall, satisfied! (townhouse) January 2024
9. Washing machines are so loud and will flood, the parking company is very rude, and the fire alarms go off so loud practically everyday. (East Village) January 2024
10. The location is great and its cute, but there's water damage and black mold inside that hasn't been fixed correctly. Only 1 parking pass too! (Steeple Chase Pine Street) January 2024
11. It is super close to campus and is so convenient. It is clean, nice, and private. (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
12. The location is excellent and the property is satisfactory. There are 4 bus stops within a ten-minute walk. (Amberleigh Way) January 2024
13. This building does not have parking! Parking is a big hassle and will cost a lot no matter what lot you choose to park in around the area. (494 Lofts) January 2024
14. Although it may be slightly far from campus, access to the Appalcart and being able to distance oneself from campus is very nice. (East Village) January 2024
15. Amazing location, super clean, and water/electricity/appliances are included in the total cost. (Steeplechase Howard Street) January 2024
16. Most of the units offered in this location do not have a window, and there are even some units that do not have windows AT ALL. NO PARKING!! (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
17. Winkler has nice properties for students. Living at Holmes View Manor has been a great experience especially since it is in a good location. (Holmes View Manor) January 2024
18. Easy walk to campus about a mile to Walker Hall; thats the farthest building but it takes me 40 minutes to get there. Cheap-ish. Nice windows. (Wood Circle) January 2024
19. This rental has an ideal location and decent size. Winkler has been very responsive. My roommates & I have enjoyed living here for 2 years. (Steeplechase Howard Street) January 2024
20. This is a small apartment relatively far from campus, and though its one of the least expensive locations in Boone, $600 a month is a lot. (Cardinal 1 Apartments) January 2024
21. Small, no windows on first floor, fire alarm above stove, expensive, hard water. (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
22. I strongly believe that safety is the number one concern. My unit has a door that leads to the outside and is one of the first apartments. (Holmes View Manor) January 2024
23. Location is close to campus, but still a good walk, which is important during winter. Has everything you need utility and appliances wise. (Steeple Chase Wood Circle) January 2024
24. Parking lot is very small, never gets iced, and is hard to walk through because the spaces are small. Bring lots of storage; there is none. (Howard Street) January 2024
25. Great location! A little pricey but not too bad. Clean and in good shape (plus complimentary housekeeping is a big plus!) In-unit W/D rocks. (The Vineyard) January 2024
26. Its really close to campus. (App Manor) January 2024
27. The only thing you're paying for is location. The apartment it's self is a disaster and I would never recommend renting here. (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
28. This rental property is cozy and not too far from campus! (location not specified) January 2024
29. Its [very] old. Come ready with an AC unit, and keep your furniture away from the heaters unless you like fires. Also have a spare fuse. (Amberleigh Way) January 2024
30. GET AN ESA LETTER!! They WILL(!!!!!!!) enter your apartment to find pets and fine you >$500 + force evacuation (even w/ ESA) (The Vineyard) January 2024
31. Have enjoyed the Winkler Organization. They do a good job of relaying information to their tenants. Only thing to be aware of fire alarms! (East Village) January 2024
32. They charge for laundry, raise the rent $100 per year, limited kitchen/counter space, and short shower head. I am moving to rent [a place] $200 cheaper. (Amberleigh Way) January 2024
33. Parking goes very fast and you must renew ASAP if you want a spot. Most buildings dont have elevators, so lots of stairs. (The Heights on Green Street) January 2024
34. Winkler properties are not pet friendly and [there is] limited parking! Additionally, any properties off of main roads will probably be noisy at night. (Winkler Square) January 2024
35. This is a very quiet property -- great for independent introverts!! Pricey but a great place, and 15 min walk to Walker Hall. (The Heights on Green Street) January 2024
36. The fire alarm goes off at the slightest whiff of steam. It has gone off roughly 20 times in one semester, usually at night. (location not specified) January 2024
37. The townhomes are nice but very old. My unit doesnt have AC, a dishwasher, or a washer/dryer. However, I like Winkler a lot as a company! (Amberleigh Way) January 2024
38. It's $900/mo and I live in a windowless box underground. There is a mold issue in my studio. App state needs to do better to provide housing! (Wilcox Warehouse) January 2024
39. The fire alarms are super sensitive, and the lack of windows is depressing. (East Village) January 2024
40. It is super close to campus and everything in town. It is an all inclusive rent. But it is difficult to get into like everywhere in Boone. (building near Stick Boy) January 2024
41. Utilities are included. (Steeplechase Straight Street) January 2024
42. They will increase the price every year. The "gym" is useless. (Winkler Square) January 2024
43. The efficiency units are SMALL!!! You may think you can cope with 315 sq ft but just be aware you can roll out of bed into your stove. (Heights on Green Street) September 2023
