Great starter apartments. Some of the most affordable in the area. I lived here from January 2018--July 2018. Would have stayed longer but had to move for a job.
They're located in a safe area of Fairborn. Convenient because they're very close to highway 675, as well as Kroger, fast food, and gas. Less than 10 minutes away from the mall. Less than 15 mins away from Wright State.
The one bedroom apt we had was small but nice, well kept. Tons of storage space with closets and shelves. There's always lots of parking available here.
The landlord, Sarah, is extremely nice and understanding. Maintenance always came out in a timely manner and fixed any problems we had.
We did have some ants in our apartment. Not too many, and once we set ant poison around the apartment they went away completely. During the winter sometimes the pathways weren't salted so they would get slippery.
Never had problems with loud neighbors. Only a few of the apts have dishwashers, and I don't think any have washer/dryer, although there is a secure laundry room located on the property.
I wanted to leave positive review because this was such a good first apartment. Didn't have any trouble breaking the lease early, just had to pay extra.
Overall I would definitely recommend these apartments if you're looking for something simple and affordable in Fairborn.

I've lived here since December of 2018. The apartments are affordable and it's really quiet here. Very little crime, other than the usual for this town, an occasional car break in. Most of the apartments are studios, with a decent amount of one bedrooms, and a single two bedroom.
Maintenance is pretty quick for emergency repairs. They do have limited staff so you might wait for less-than-important repairs, but anything that truly effects safety or quality of living they are quick on. Had an electrical issue with my A/C and it was fixed the very next morning. Had a bad faucet drip in the tub and it was fixed within a couple days.
As far as quality of the apartments and size, it's decent. Nothing to brag about as far as layout or build, but it's good quality. Size is what you would expect for a studio or 1 bedroom. Small kitchen setup, 1/2 oven with 4 burner stove, but it is half width. I love to cook and would love a bigger stove top, but these are 1 bedroom and studios, most people really don't need more than what is provided. Same goes for kitchen storage, I probably keep more food on-hand than the average 1 or 2 people in an apartment, so I have to get creative with my food and pot/pans/dishes storage.
Bedroom is a good size. I have a queen bed with a nice frame, desk with TV, and a decently sized armoire with room to walk around a little bit. More than enough closet space as well in the bedroom.
Living room/Dining room is decently spaced as well. I have a nice sized entertainment stand, 3 person recliner and a reclining love-seat, with a couple end tables and there is enough room. Dining room I have a full size dining room table, a computer desk, and a chest with a fish tank and there is still room to move around.
Utilities are cheap. I almost never see a $100 electric bill (and I'm home A LOT). The bill can jump in a 1 bedroom if you use the baseboard heater a lot. My A/C unit does a really good job at keeping the whole apartment a decent temp in the summer and winter. You will have to keep the bedroom door open if you want to be comfortable though without buying a windows A/C. Swap out all your bulbs for LEDs and you'll really have to try and get a high bill in your apartment.
My only complaint is the bathroom, it gets COLD in the winter. If you don't like to keep the door open, there is no type of heat in the bathroom. I just purchased a small space heater for morning showers.
Ceiling fans are in the dining room and bedroom, both mine are nice. 3 lamps on each fan, bi-directional, uses standard ceiling fan bulbs (the small base ones).
As far as water in the apartment, I can take a shower, do dishes, and have my kids (3 of them) come over and shower, and I don't typically run out of hot water, with all of that being spaced out over an hour. It's a small water heater, so if I'm staring at the wall in the shower for 30 minutes, it does tend to start to become a little cooler. I've also turned my water heater down, so if you have it set higher than 120, you'll probably see hot water longer than me.
Water/Sewage/Trash and "Shared" Electric are separate from the rent now, but don't contribute but a few dollars to your rent. It's a fair amount, less than most people would see living in a 1 bedroom paying for individually metered services.
As far as the office staff, they are VERY polite, and helpful. Usually way beyond what I ever expect of them. They truly do what they can to keep the residents happy. There are a lot of units to manage between all the properties, so occasionally they may not be there during normal business hours, but they try, and if you call, or leave a note, they are on top of getting back to you.
Lastly, noise. I'm towards the back, so you don't hear much noise from the town. Towards the front, you do get some road noise from DYS, but nothing too terrible. As far as neighbors, mine REALLY have to try to be heard. I've lived in a LOT of apartments in my life, and never have been happier with the noise levels of the apartments around me.
The staff here are extremely friendly, and maintenance is always on top of things and will see you generally within 24 hours of a request.
It's a small community that feels like home. Wish they'd fix the dip in the sidewalk though as water accrues there.
Edit: This was fixed.
There's onsite laundry. The apartments themselves have tons of storage areas, extra shelving in the main room, and an attic. Not a very big kitchen though.

I lived here for a year and a half and I loved it! It's a very quiet complex. You can't hear through the walls like most apartments. Most of the people that live here are college students, active duty military, or older folks. I had no issues with noise or disputes. I felt very safe. The landlord was awesome, too. My water heater went out one time, and he offered to pay for me to stay at a hotel until it was fixed. I also got my full security deposit back when I moved out, which is rare. I was so sad when I had to move due to getting a new job. I highly recommend living here.
