I have just moved here this year and this apartment is dreadful in the summer. Ithaca is hot as…read morehell with temperatures up to 95 degrees. None of these apartments have air conditioning in them. I have to go to school everyday just to stay cool. At night the temperatures drops down to about 85 degrees. It is near impossible to sleep here at night. The apartment itself is comfortable: however, the fact that it's so damn hot at night makes the place unbearable.

There's an inner courtyard, safe and secure where the students can congregate and barbecue.

It's a great location but the office overcharged me $315 for the month of July. The office…read morepersonnel are unable / unwilling to address this problem. Also my apartment was so dirty when I moved in it took me 3 hours to clean 4 rooms. I do like the furniture with the exception of the bed which is hard and uncomfortable. Views of the river are blocked by filthy windows Also they changed my room assignment on the first day from 256a to 223a because the first assigned room was very dirty. The computer still has me listed in the wrong room. They gave me a survey to complete regarding the inspection of the property that was supposed to be done 24 hours after moving in. I am already out. Bizarre

This is my second year in an Ithaca Renting owned complex. There have been multiple fires in the…read morecomplex (yes, rooms actually caught fire). One of which displaced half of all tenants in the building, and they only got partial rent refunds for that period of displacement the next semester. The elevator in my complex is down multiple times a month, sometimes multiple times a week. After my first year, they raised rent at least a few hundred dollars, for the same room I'm currently in. They ask you to confirm whether you will renew your lease within a month of moving in. If you don't, they'll start doing tours any point after. You have to wait days to get your packages if the concierge is not here or the front desk is closed some days (which happens often), and no one else can retrieve it for you. You pay three months rent in advance, in quarterly installments. Parking spaces cost up to $3k for the year. If you lose your key over the weekend and are locked out without a residence, they don't consider it an emergency. They will charge up to nearly $200 in fees to replace it and let you back in over the weekend. The fitness center can barely fit two to three people. Most of the stovetop burners don't work, and I've met many people in this complex with the same issue. One time the electricity in the entire complex went out for the day/overnight, this included heating and hot water, and all my groceries were ruined. Raise any of these concerns with them and they will be sassy!

The apartments are OK, but on the expensive side. My review is based solely on the company and…read moretheir customer service. They will screw you over six ways to Sunday on made-up fees and become hostile when they don't need your money. Kiss your deposit goodbye - they will conveniently forget the move-in inspection you submit, and invite you to go to small claims court to get it back. Ithaca small claims court is backlogged for months, filing is pretty expensive, and IRC has good relations with them. Small-town regulatory capture at its finest.

My corner apartment on the top floor had a great view of the lake as well as the Cornell clock tower. The unit was remarkably spacious with ample closet space and high ceilings. The maintenance guy, Mark, was so on point all the time any time I needed him. On the flip side, my hardwood floors were extremely creaky and caused the tenants below me some grief at night. They got the property manager involved and requested that I either go to bed at an earlier time or spend more time in the living room. WTF? How about you replace your floors so they don't creak under pressure instead of telling me when to go to bed and where I can be in my own apartment? Overall, I would still highly recommend Belleayre Apartments to any faculty or grad student going to Cornell. In fact, I should add that the only thing in the way of a five-star rating is the manner in which the property manager addressed the creaky floors issue.
