Best Apartments in Bloomington

The Dillon is very conveniently located, it has great amenities such as a nice outdoor pool and hot tub, and the clubhouse entertainment center is a great space for me and my friends to hang out and host small get-togethers. The gym is clean and has everything I need, and when I want to switch it up, it's always nice to shoot around on the outdoor basketball courts and run some pickup games. The staff is incredible, they have always helped me out when I needed something fixed in my apartment,... and the manager is very intentional about making The Dillon feel like a positive, safe, and friendly community. They offer shuttle services downtown, which is nice so that I don't always have to bum a ride from my friends if I need a ride. But even still, its convenient location lets me bike to pretty much anywhere I would need to on campus. The apartment units are pretty decently sized as well!

DO NOT LIVE HERE

There are so many reasons I could advise you not to live here. It was great last year, but management switched the summer of 2021 and it’s been a steep downhill slope from there. Some highlights
- sublet 2 rooms in my 4 bedroom apartment with no notice to me so I came home from a trip to find 2 strangers in my apartment
- not monitoring for parking passes or handicap passes so nowhere for handicap people to park
- no shuttles ever running on schedule or with enough room for how many people...

Don’t Live Here

Terrible management, you can’t count on them for anything. Have pretty much only had problems since I’ve been here, definitely find somewhere else.

Horrible

This place had food from a year ago in the fridge on move in day and was beyond nasty. The couch is beyond nasty. They hadn’t even cleaned. The parking is major problem. You can’t have many visitors because lack of space for them to park. They tow your car and charge you $180 if your not in guest parking even if it’s full and your a parent and want to visit. Their willingness to fix issues aren’t there. They don’t have funds or out of their hands. They are huge disappointment.
