North Side Yard

I've lived in apartment buildings scattered across the county and have to say this was the best. I lived here for two years and had no notable issues, and the usual apartment maintenance issues were resolved quickly. My 90lb boxer/lab mix was comfortable here as well and loved the elevator rides for making friends with new folks. I think my favorite apartment feature was the climate control, especially in the summer. Having the apt (for relatively cost-effective energy bills) at a crisp and dry... 68 degrees during humid 90-degree summer days was wonderful. The appliances were modern and caused zero problems. The two-in-one washer/dryer unit took some getting used to, but once I figured out to do smaller wash loads I ended up liking the ability to toss stuff in and go about my day without having to think about it. Oh, and the high vaulted ceilings were a nice touch too. My one-bedroom felt twice its size.
The location is pretty sweet too, the campus is essentially the dividing line between the downtown area – which has restaurants, bars and shops (including a pet store I’d take my dog to a few times a week) – and a residential neighborhood (mostly owner-occupied). A five-minute walk to the west is the Wisconsin River and Green Circle trail. Next door is the Great Northern Distillery which would often have live music. Beyond that, closer to the river, are the city’s event bandshell. Really, the location couldn’t be better.
As far as apartment complex life goes, this was the best experience I’ve had by a wide margin. The property manager runs a tight ship and the maintenance folks are great to work with. If I hadn’t moved in with my girlfriend a few blocks away I’d have gladly signed a lease for a third year.

Simply put the property managers do not care about the tenants. If you have a problem (and you will) you have a 40% chance that your work order is responded to. If you want to be certain that you will always be able to get into the building this is not the place for you as they key fabs stopped working entirely for all residents more than once during my year here. If privacy/security mean anything to you it’s best to turn far away from here. The amount of times the property manager visited... without the 24 hour notice agreed upon in the lease was disgusting. Ultimately I wish I had lived in a hotel for that year….it would have been cheaper, less problematic, and less stressful to myself and my family.

Side note PLEASE be cautious if you have kids/pets. This place claims to be pet friendly but I have not found that in my experience. Read More

Beautiful, modern apartments in a good location. Maintenance requests are handled quickly and professionally, the staff are all extremely helpful, and the fitness center and courtyard are great amenities!

The apartments are extremely modern and nice. Tall ceilings. Locked entrances so it is safe. The landlords and maintenance crew are really quick to respond and are very pleasant.

North side yard is an amazing and overall safe area to live. The management is amazing and other tenants are very kind. The location is nice with many places and things to do. I recommend to anyone looking for a nice space to call home in the stevens point area
