After spending years living on campus and hearing the horror stories of many Champaign-Urbana landlords, this place, just 5 minutes south of campus down 1st street is a HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF. If you want to live in the most absolute most affordable apartment in the entire area AND would like the luxury of never having to worry about maintenance problems again, give this place a shot.
On top of the quick response to issues, the amenities really make it something- the pool and hot tub are beautiful and well-kept, the animal friendliness makes for adorable evening walks around the park next door/around the complex, and the business office/fitness center are a great convenience. They also have monthly events ranging from free nachos to pool parties to green pancakes for Unofficial! It's obvious that the staff here really tries to think of everything.
The apartments themselves are very simple, but definitely comfortable. Try out the tour and see for yourself- I am sad to be leaving The Place!
