Anvil 38 Apartments

Pros:

- The units themselves are nice. Appliances are new, work well, and the environment is quiet.

Cons:

1. Amenities:

Amenities are practically non-existent. Midway through the lease, management shut down the study lounges and repurposed them as business offices.

Despite the apartment being only 3–4 years old, the gym equipment is already non-functional.

2. Service and Management:

The management often makes changes without informing tenants or gives extremely short notice. For instance… , they upgraded the internet midway through the lease and started charging tenants extra for it.

Mandatory valet trash service is another issue; you’re charged for it even when the company fails to pick up the trash.

When issues arise, management puts in minimal effort to resolve them. They frequently redirect tenants to service providers with a dismissive "that’s not our problem" attitude.

3. Parking:

Parking is an absolute nightmare. There are far too few parking spots available, and most tenants end up parking in the Ivy Tech public lots because there are no spaces in the complex.

The management converted many regular tenant parking spaces into “premium” covered spots, which require exorbitant fees to guarantee parking.

To make matters worse, a significant number of spaces are wasted on unused EV charging stations and other restricted areas where tenants are not allowed to park.

The parking situation is at odds with the claim on their website:
“Anvil 38 apartments offer residents the convenience of off-street parking. This means that you won't have to worry about finding a spot on the street or paying for parking in a garage. You'll be able to come and go as you please without having to worry about where you're going to park your car.”

This statement feels like an overstatement—if not outright false advertising. The reality is that finding a parking spot is stressful and frustrating. Read More
