Great management
I signed my lease during the summer to rent at the U next year. The process was easy and management answered all my questions. They recently had to make some changes to the move-in date and set up very reasonable accommodations for all tenants during the expected delay period. So far 5/5 for management and customer service.

Before you send any money

Listings here come from public rental data, not from the landlord directly. Anyone can copy a real building's photos into a fake ad elsewhere, so if you found this place on another site, run the link through Factuate first and never wire a deposit before seeing the unit or confirming who owns it.
