I lived at University Park Apartments for 11.5 years and I never had a problem with these people. They are very easy to work with, understanding, friendly, flexible, and accommodating, always ready for you. If something goes wrong in the apartment, they will fix it as soon as feasible, without a fuss. I went there in extremely difficult life conditions; renting at University Park was pivotal in stabilizing my life; it helped me recover, get two graduate degrees, rebuild a family, publish several books, and ultimately move out when I could buy a house. The management at University Park is kind to everyone living there. I have seen that apartment complex transform from a place mostly for Cornell graduate students to a very diverse and inclusive community, in an always friendly environment—from all perspective angles you can take. The place is quiet, safe, and conveniently located, on main bus route: not far from shopping places but not too close to the busy and noisy parts of Ithaca; it takes you 12 minutes to get to the Cornell campus by bus, 15 minutes by bicycle. I have had an excellent overall experience at University Park and I recommend living there to everyone looking for a place to rent.
