The Avenue at Orono Apartments

If I could put zero stars I would. Everything included in the apartments (dishwasher, washing machine, etc) is a piece of junk. In my son's apartment, the washing machine caused rust spots on his clothes. The dishwasher worked sometimes. Their bathroom drains were regularly clogged. They had to call maintenance frequently. For the amount of money we paid each month, issues should have been resolved in a timely manner or appliances should have been replaced. Many times that didn't happen. Very... very poor management. They just want their money Read More

I lived here so you don’t have to. Everything is built even cheaper than you’d expect from college apartments. Appliances constantly break, countertops and doors are flimsy, drywall is super thin and cheap (tears really easily), faucets leak, dishwasher leaks, doors have gaps, drafts everywhere, no insulation on the first floor. Management will find any excuse to get extra money out of you, the lease changes heavily every year (hope you enjoy reading legal documents) and already-too-high prices... get much higher. Constant rule changes, new charges, utility increases, convenience fees for paying rent or utilities in any other way than a check. Any way they can suck money from you, they will. Find a house somewhere else, don’t live here. Read More

If you BBC are looking to get ripped off at every turn, this is the place for you. Surprise bills and overages are the norm. This place goes out of its way to squeeze every nickel out of its renters. Poorly managed and good luck dealing with the property manager.

The avenue is such a good place to live! With effective snow removal plans and a very friendly staff! Looking forward to another year here!

They look great on the outside but are poorly built for harsh Maine winters. The management nickel and dimes you with all sorts of expenses and the appliances are the cheapest variants the advertised companies make. The bus offered to campus tends to break down or not run on schedule. The headache and price of living here makes it one of the worst locations to live in Orono.
