I lived here for nearly two years and had a great experience. Maintenance requests were addressed the next day, the management team was very supportive, and the location was convenient for commuting to the University or other places, thanks to multiple bus options. Additionally, having SNAP right across the road was very useful during late nights when buses were not running.

UC has prime location with 4 bus stops around. The view from my balcony are stunning, and the gym and pool are great. Plus, the communal room has some really cool features – perfect for hanging out with friends!

I have had an exceptional experience living in this apartment building and wholeheartedly give it a 5-star rating. Here is why: (1) Competitive Rates: Among the various options I explored, this apartment offers the best rates. It's incredibly affordable, especially for students.They also frequently run promotions that are hard to resist. From waiving security deposits and application fees to offering bonuses for referrals. (2) Responsive Management: Any concerns or queries are promptly addressed. The management team is approachable and maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner, typically resolved within 1 to 3 days. Once, my oven was broken and they dispatched the maintenance to repair it. However, when the issue persisted, they promptly replaced the entire stove. (3) Convenient Transportation: With five bus options available, commuting is a breeze. Even if you happen to miss a bus, the wait time is minimal. (4) Prime Location: The strategic location is a significant plus. It is just a 20-minute walk to the campus and is conveniently situated near essential amenities, including the Butler Plaza grocery area. In conclusion, if you are on the hunt for an affordable apartment with top-notch facilities, I highly recommend this building. It is especially ideal for students looking for proximity to campus and great value for money.

UC offers a truly delightful living experience, not only by its beautiful environment but also its landscaping. One of the most convenient aspects is its proximity to the bus stop, which not only saves time but also provides a variety of bus options. The walks to and from the bus stop are always enjoyable as it has the natural charm that surrounds the area. The rooms are cozy, thanks to the comfortable carpeting, and I particularly love the generous room size which offers plenty of space.

Been here for almost 2 years, it was a great experience. The administrative team and the maintenance team are second to none. Connectivity from here to UF was easy due to the availability of multiple bus options.
