Plumwood Apartments

For the price, these apartments is definitely worth it. Relatively quiet after the new young manager moved out most of the loud and troublesome tenants. Seems like things are getting better here. Manager has limited hours but can be reached 24/7 via text, which is sorta nice. Has a pool, covered parking lots, security gate(which isn't always so functional ).

The manager let me see one of the vacant apartments that are being rented out. It has upgraded flooring, appliances, and refinished… countertops and look much nicer than before. I pay 850 for my 2bdroom 2 bath and 2 patio apartment. It is appx 900 sq ft. I'm really happy with that. I don't know how much the upgraded ones are being leased out for.

The biggest downside would probably be the maintenance around here. No onsite maintenance, and the maintenance guy is only around twice a week. They take care of you fast only if it's an emergency like a leak.

It would be nice if the units were also hooked up to dryers and washers; the laundry room only takes quarters.

The location is both bad and good. Good because EVERYTHING is nearby. schools, clothes stores, hardware, mall, university, state fair, automotive shops, Costco, golf courses, freeway access etc. The bad is the surrounding area (not the complex itself). By that I mean Wyda way (street perpendicular and about 200 yards out) , which isn't the funnest street to walk down on at night. You'll see bums and suspicious people here and there passing by, and once in a while they will entire onto the property (to attempt dumspter diving). They aren't dangerous, just bad to look at.

Overall I would say it's pretty good. I would recommend it for college students, because it's not bad if you split rent and get one bedroom and bathroom to yourself. Read More
