Crescent at Shadeland Apartments

Very quick and easy process of finding an apartment.

Very very noisy paper thin walls and non insulated floors where every movement sounds like elephants running, video game shooting echoing, neighbors slamming doors and yelling at those in their units heard clearly. The flooring is vinyl plank tile, not wood as stated and it slides around and doesn't meet the wall and has many gaps where it was slapped together cheaply and cut too short- made to look fancy, but no work ethic and feels and looks cheap there’s even mushy uneven spots of the floor… where its not level or flat. They have constant crews working on the exterior making additional mess and constant loud noise daily for siding, drywall, and paint to give the appearance of “nice“ curb appeal so they can charge so much rent, but it’s very very overpriced for what you don’t get. Additionally they “require” you every month to pay extra for fees in addition to the over priced rent. There’s always a lot of peoples‘ garbage or furniture left outside, or out back when they move-and it feels very trashy. Overall, the attempts at making it look “worth” the cost fall very short because of how cheaply put together and lacks workmanship or quality. A high price to pay for not much in return other than a roof and a door with gaps under so the cold air can come in and the heat go out. The laundry facilities additionally cost a lot per load and don’t clean the clothes well and it usually smells pretty rancid in the building. Unfortunately no peace and quiet and no return for the expense. Disappointing but a true fact. I hope this helps others in making their decisions on their home space BEFORE they experience an overpriced cheap dormitory. Read More

One of the best place to live close to UK campus. All units are clean with new appliances. The new management is pretty responsible and takes care of everything. The price is fairly high but it's worth it.

PROS: The rent is very fair for the location, and for the most part, they don't "nickel and dime" you for every little service (exception- laundry, see below). Maintenance is quick to respond to any issues. They have done some good work around the property in the last year and a half, like repairing the decks/balconies and freshening up the paint in the parking areas.

CONS: The rental office has had a fair amount of turnover- I've lived here for just over 1.5 years, and they're on their… third property manager. They were slow to arrange snowplows in the heavy snow this past winter, leading to one of my neighbors literally flagging down passing trucks with plow attachments to ask if they would pass the plow through the parking lot so we could get out to work. The walls and floors are thin, so you can hear a lot if your neighbors don't keep it down. No washers and dryers in the one bedrooms, and the laundry facility is NOT free- coin operated and pretty high per load. Closet space is limited, and I don't use the outdoor closet on my deck, because it smells very musty and moldy. I don't want anything ruined by keeping it out there.

Overall, though, despite some ups and downs, it's a decent place to live in a good location. Read More
