Therefore, it is going to be rowdy, it is going to get a bit unkempt, and the fire alarm will be pulled in the middle of the night. All of this is to be expected. If you are not in college... go somewhere else. 1) The staff is extremely helpful and kind. Dave - the property manager - is extremely informative, easy going, and easy to talk to. I had a roommate issue early on and he was able to find me a new apartment (all to myself for the last 10 months of my lease) with no hassle to me at all. in fact, he ended up saving me money and a lot of drama. Dave is awesome. 2) The amenities are amazing: Tanning, gym, fire pits, hot tub, Grills, monthly meals, paid utilities/electric/trash etc. The only bad thing about this is that once you leave, reality hits and this is NOT real life. (Most residents have a hard time swallowing that pill.) 3) Maintenance is always respectful of privacy and 8N often gives a heads up when they may be arriving. They are pretty quick and painless when they come in so most of the time you won't even notice. Any report is handled within 24hrs. I miss my apartment every day. You are right in the Haymarket, walking distance from everything, and shuttles will help get you through those cold months. Keep in mind. Luxury housing is unrealistic but definitely worth a try. 8N is great while you are still in college.

My niece was charged for a broken window, broken from the outside on the 4th floor!!! They said it was "the middle pane." This happens when old buildings settle.

I lived at the Academy Lincoln for 3 years (Jul 2023 - Jul 2026) in a D4 unit (no balcony). It…read moreserved my needs at the time, mostly because of its location and that it was pre-furnished. It wasn't cheap, but it was cheaper than UNL's on-campus housing. That said, the rising rent, unreliable wifi, thin walls, and especially the move-out process often made it a frustrating living experience. If I had to do it over, I'd prioritize finding a regular apartment, condo, or house instead. (And I would never again ignore Yelp reviews.) Detailed review below The Cons 1. Rising Costs - Rent started at $625/month in 2023, then jumped to $639, and finally $675 in 2026. I believe it now starts at $700 for a D4 unit with no balcony. Utilities were: - $5/month for valet trash (no trash chute; you leave provided trash cans and corrugated cardboard in the hallway to be picked up in the evening). - $60/year to use their utility billing system. - Other utilities were included unless you were a heavy user; then you would be charged extra (maybe $10-15). - Admin move-in fees (around $150) added to the upfront cost. 2. Parking - Their garage parking was ~$55/month, but spots were only available on floors 4-6. Citylight church owns the other floors, and parking on those isn't allowed. - Parking spots are assigned. - I opted to park in a university garage instead. It was about the same price at the time and more flexible for commuting to East Campus. 3. Wifi Issues The Pavlov wifi was unreliable, especially during finals and dead week. Outages could last days, and the process for adding devices to the wifi was clunky. It's not a typical provider like Allo or Spectrum, so the set-up process was a hassle whenever you needed to add a new device, and you can only have up to 10 devices. 4. Thin Walls & Noise - Sirens from the fire station were loud at first, but I got used to it. - Neighbor noise was a constant issue, especially from units above. 5. Move-Out This was my biggest frustration. The process was unprofessional and stressful: - When I challenged charges for wear and tear, they cited an invoice from their painting contractor as proof. However, their vendor's costs are not my responsibility. As a tenant, I was only accountable for damages beyond normal wear and tear, and those should be determined by the lease agreement, not their internal expenses. In the end, I paid the final charges on my bill as there was no longer any reason to engage with their willful ignorance. I am still deeply disappointed in the result and their behavior. - Emails were impersonal and unprofessional. No names were listed in the signature, so I never knew who I was communicating with, and the tone was dismissive. - I've attached a screenshot of one of their emails as an example of their unprofessionalism. In it, they dismissed the credibility of their own Resident Handbook, which is part of the signed lease. They also tried to use a previously sent email as a defense, even though it was sent after I had already turned in my keys, as I had moved out early. - There were inconsistencies in the charges. The numbers on the bill they emailed me didn't match their claims in other communications. - Some charges were dropped, but it took two days of emailing and 8 total emails, just to get them to adhere to their own lease and drop charges on documented damage from previous tenants. Tip: If this apartment complex is your only option, document everything during move-in/out and dispute improper charges immediately. They will have you take photos when you move in and upload them to their resident portal. Word of advice: keep them until you move out so you have them as proof. The Pros 1. Location & Convenience - It's walking distance to UNL's City campus, making it ideal for students who want to avoid on-campus housing. - The front desk staff were always friendly and approachable. It's usually other students working there as a part-time job. There were even occasional free food/drink events in the leasing office, which was a nice perk. 2. Amenities - The workout room was decent for a small space. The weight room was functional, though crowded, and the cardio machines were outdated and often broken despite repeated complaints. - Valet trash service was included for $5/month (no trash chute--you leave bags in the hallway). 3. Furnished Units The pre-furnished option was a plus for my situation and for other out-of-town students.

I would strongly recommend that future residents document absolutely everything when moving into…read moreAcademy Lincoln, especially if you are moving into an already-occupied unit. My experience throughout the year was disappointing for several reasons. Several amenities and services that were part of the appeal of living here were frequently unreliable. The hot tub was broken for a significant portion of the year, the internet would randomly go out, we spent much of the year waiting for a working ice maker in our fridge, and the AC would periodically quit working. For what residents pay to live here, I expected the advertised amenities and basic apartment features to be considerably more reliable. Trash service was another frustration. Trash removal was advertised to us as a daily pickup service, but in practice the pickup timing was inconsistent with when we would leave trash out. There were times when trash would not be collected, but if it remained outside past the permitted hours, we could then receive a notice telling us that trash could not be left outside during those hours. As a resident already paying for trash removal, I don't think it should be my responsibility to continually check whether the trash was actually picked up and bring it back inside if it wasn't. If a service is advertised as daily trash pickup, residents should be able to reasonably expect their trash to be removed without having to monitor whether the service actually occurred just to avoid receiving a notice. My biggest frustration, however, came at move-out. I was assessed for painting and replacement of a coffee table and entertainment center. I moved into an apartment that was already occupied, meaning the common-area furniture had already been in use before I arrived. At move-out, photographs were used to support charging me for replacement of the entertainment center and coffee table. My issue is that a photograph taken at move-out doesn't establish what condition shared furniture was in when I moved in, how long a particular condition had existed, or who was responsible for it. I was also charged $100+ for painting based on marks and scuffs that I believed were normal wear and tear. Academy's own move-out statement says its inspection assesses damage "in excess of normal wear and tear," yet I did not feel the conditions I was charged for justified the painting charges assessed to me. Ultimately, my dispute of the painting and furniture charges was unsuccessful. My takeaway for future residents is to photograph everything at move-in. Apparently, this needs to include every wall, every existing mark, and every surface of every piece of shared furniture, even if you're moving into an already-occupied apartment where that furniture has already been used by other residents. Realistically, when I moved into an occupied apartment, I did not expect that I needed to photograph every square inch of every wall and inspect and photograph every surface of furniture that was already sitting in a shared living space. Based on my move-out experience, I would strongly recommend that future residents do exactly that. Between the unreliable hot tub, random internet outages, extended wait for a working ice maker, intermittent AC issues, frustrating trash pickup system, and my experience with the move-out process, I would not choose to live at Academy Lincoln again.

Usually if there's more than 3 people in there at once, it feels crowded. Our apartment is very modern, very new and has wonderful amenities. The balcony we had was no wider than 1 foot, so we only had space to put plants. But other balconies were larger and could fit chairs. Bathroom storage is wonderful. Lots of drawers.
