Absolutely livid with management and very frustrated as I do not have enough money to just throw around $140.
One of my roommates has also been fined $20 by the city because she literally had to park on the sidewalk of the lot at Campus Walk.
Long story short, I got a $140 towing ticket for parking in the Grant Properties space because there were not enough spaces in the Campus Walk lot and I could not park anywhere else.
Whenever I called to ask for maintenance they responded almost right away. I did not like how the maintenance would just show up without me being there and I walk into my apartment surprised to see an older gentleman. Being a young woman and only having a female roommate you can see where my concern lies. When they shut the water off and turn it back on there was no hot water (over 45 degrees) for two and a half weeks. No water pressure at all ever though. Hard get use too. When the maintenance men came to fix the water they left a four foot hole in my wall for a week and I had to all to get it filled multiple times. The air conditioning is not right. It does not cool down according to the temperature you set it to. It just cools to 15 degrees lower than it is outside, not okay when it's 103 outside. The staff is very nice and have always answered my questions politely. Very rarely do I get attitude from the front desk ladies. Love the location on campus, can walk to everything. Paper thin walls. Other than these small things it was not all that bad for a first apartment.
We have talked to them time and time again about the parking situation with no solution or action taken and they simply said that "there is nothing they can do about the fee." Upon talking to management, I was told that I can park at any of the Campus Walk complexes, but I was never told this prior to today. Also, as a small female who works in the studio late at night, parking two blocks away from my apartment in a different complex and then walking home ALONE IN THE DARK is very dangerous and should not be considered a viable option.
On top of the poor management and parking situation, the walls are paper thin, there is no bus route, and the Internet connection is terrible.
Like the location a lot. Maintenance friendly, though often pretty slow. We experienced a break in, and when maintenance "fixed" the door, one could still see into our apartment from outside. When the upstairs neighbors exercised, we could see our ceiling moving up and down. The smell of weed for the downstairs neighbors was strong, and the illegal pets in the complex made quite a racket.
There is not enough room to park in the parking lot of the complex and tenants are forbidden to purchase a parking permit for the nearest side street. Furthermore, there are no lines in the parking lot and tenants cannot park in the lot across from the complex because those spaces belong to Grant Properties.
We have been very pleased with the Bloomington Office for Campus Walk Apartments. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Needed repairs were always completed promptly. My daughter rented a one-bedroom apartment for two years while she was in graduate school at IU.
If you do not supply enough parking spaces for your tenants, give a limit to how many people can bring vehicles or PAINT PARKING LINES.
For anyone currently living in Bloomington or any students thinking about coming to IU soon, DO NOT rent an apartment with Campus Walk Properties.
The place was cleaner when i moved out than when i moved in and they charged us $100 for cleaning. We patched and repainted the walls and they charged us over $200 for that and and they charged us another $175 for cleaning the carpets. The only rightful charge on that whole list was cleaning the carpets and that was much more than they told us it was gong to be.
Do not recommend living here. Live somewhere else and pay more. The cheap rent is not worth all of the complex's flaws.
Solid place to live -- great location, competitive to borderline cheap rent, and friendly staff. But their security deposit handling is a straight up scam. Both apartments I lived in I left in better shape than they were when I walked in -- despite that, I was returned about 1/3 of my security deposit both times. When deciding to live here, factor the loss of your security deposit into rent price. A lot of plusses about the place and location, but the way they handle deposits leaves a sour taste no doubt.
