This apartment was exactly what I needed. The unit was big enough that I wasn't cramped and the price was very reasonable. The grounds are well maintained, management was responsive whenever I had an issue (minor maintenance stuff). I liked that the grocery store was really close. I would definitely recommend checking it out. It was perfect for me. read more

This is a calm, clean place for living. You have access to grocery stores on foot. Landlord, manager, and staff are nice responsive people BUT if you are going to live in building "F" (at least first floor) make sure to read this: Usually, when the outside temperature is above 75 (especially in sunny days) this place becomes unusually hot and sometimes is NOT HABITABLE and could be dangerous without a good A/C unit. We have experienced a temperature up to 90 and I am pretty sure it even goes higher (we left the place to save our life so 90 was the maximum we saw!). I think really large windows in the living room are the main reason (thick curtains don't work, don't try it!). Make sure that a good A/C unit is available in your apartment or you're permitted and able to get one (the windows are Jalousie type so installing the unit could be a double trouble or you have to spend more money for a decent portable one). We couldn't stay at our home, where we were paying rent for that as a habitable place, many days of May and June. I complained several times to the landlord and he politely refused to find a permanent solution for this problem and eventually told us to get an A/C unit if you want. It wasn't worth it for us to get one because we only had about one month left of our lease. Instead we checked out the place two weeks earlier and moved in to a new place! We had good days in Meadow East but the last weeks ruined all our good memories. I really hope the landlord figure out a solution (at least after reading this)! read more

Meadow East Apartments - Apartments Near Me - Potsdam, New York

I lived in this complex for three and a half years. I found the rent was reasonable and it never went up during my lease. My rent was $815 a month plus electricity and internet for a single room in case you're wondering. It actually was increased just after my lease ended, to which the property manager was displeased with and invited tenants to come with him to the mayor's office to complain. There were some occasional problems that needed maintenance but they were resolved in a very timely manner for me. read more

Fantastic experience! The place is well-maintained, close to everything you'd need and within very close distance to universities. I was a little nervous about moving here when I read some of the negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. You really need to see this place in person to appreciate it. read more

As a former resident of this complex, I can honestly say that there are goods and bads. The rent is extremely overpriced and the management is terrible. The landlord lives in another state, and has a lady manage it for him, who is NEVER around. The close location to "the strip" (fast food chains, Hackett's, P&C, etc) is convenient but it's a good 15-20 minute walk from town. Considering that there are only a handful of "apartment complex's" in Potsdam, this is probably one of the better ones, but that isn't saying much. Probably around 50% of the residents are students (many are grad students or new faculty). The best part about this place (and why it got 3 stars instead of 2)? The handyman. You'll never meet a nicer guy who is willing to drop everything to help you out if something's wrong in your apartment. read more
