lived here for about a year, rent is cheap and it’s a cool place for just one person. neighbors are cool and nobody bothers you, maintenance is always responsive and usually show up to resolve issues the next day (at least for me). definitely a good place to stay and get on your feet in auburn, not to mention being very centrally located, everything being about 5 minutes away. good place.
