My favorite part about living here has been the management and maintenance. I appreciated when management walked me through every part of the lease when I first signed on. There are no hidden fees and they aren't trying to trick you into paying more money. Maintenance is quick and gets the job done right the first time. My only complaint would be the wifi occasionally works slow and you need to clean off your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Other than that, it's been a nice place to live. I changed my review to 5 stars because when I went in to talk to them about it, management addressed my concerns on the spot.

STAY AWAY from this place, we have not even moved in yet and already have so many issues. Just like…read morethe others said, they will charge you anything they can to make more money, we did not know that we have to get a renter's insurance that would cover the apartment's water coverage and animal coverage (we do not even have pets), we bought insurance from USAA that has $300,000 coverage and they did not approve it. I have never had this kind of issue with renter's insurance. They will charge you $20 extra per month to waive not having your own renter's insurance but they purposely do not approve your insurance that you buy. I will write more update after we move in.

One star is too generous. Do not make the mistake we did. If…read moreyou're reading the negative reviews and wondering whether they're exaggerated, they aren't. In our experience as current residents, they are factual and reflective of daily reality. A major ongoing issue has been excessive utility charges tied to HVAC problems. When those charges were questioned, maintenance did not seriously investigate the equipment. Instead, responsibility was shifted onto residents, with explanations that amounted to being told the problem was simply that we didn't know how to operate a basic thermostat. That response was dismissive, inaccurate, and insulting--especially given the persistent performance issues with the system. What stands out most is the pattern. Concerns are deflected, responsibility is avoided, and residents are left absorbing costs and stress for problems that appear to stem from management or maintenance failures. The consistent tone is not one of problem‑solving, but of wearing residents down until they stop pushing back. Based on what we have experienced, it is our opinion that this rental agency's business model prioritizes profit over people, particularly those who may not have the time, money, or legal resources to challenge questionable and potentially predatory practices. The imbalance of power is obvious, and it feels intentionally leveraged. Prospective renters: please take the negative reviews seriously. They are not emotional outbursts or isolated complaints--they align closely with what we wish we had understood before signing a lease. If transparency, accountability, and good‑faith treatment matter to you, learn from others' experiences and look elsewhere.

I'm in the last three months of my lease and there are so many un/scheduled visits of granite bringing prospective renters through my studio. There's sometimes not even a days notice and the leasing agent told one client is would $630 a month which is astounding since it was $450 before... idk who in their right mind would pay that much for a studio when you can pay that for a 1 bed. The staff is nice but I've often gotten mixed answers from different staff members for the same question so they're not consistent. I put in one maintenance request while I was here and they showed up that same day and fixed it. I just really hate them showing up whenever with prospective renters and the expensive pet fees. Won't rent with them again for those two reasons alone.

Over the years, I've noticed apt fees jump without reason, costs added in for absolutely no reason or service, and charges slapped onto every chance. A service call guy locked the door even though we specifically requested it was not locked after he left. Then he came back to unlock it for us and charged a fee! Last fall the fridge went completely dead, all our freah purchased food had to be thrown out due to Granite taking nearly a week to address the obvious problem. Parking and towing is constantly a joke for both actual parking tag users and guests in the lot. This trashy business proves that corporate sociopaths rise to the top especially where customers are too innocent, young, polite, and easily taken advantage of. What a fraud.

NOW, residents can't get things from USPS delivered or Amazon so something to consider when thinking about living here. Customer service from WH LONG does not exist even though rent is very high here with no amenities at all.

I lived at Lark West Lafayette for several years. While the rent may initially appear lower than…read moresome other options in the area, prospective tenants should carefully consider the potential additional costs and management practices before signing a lease. My biggest recommendation is to thoroughly document the condition of your apartment and all furniture when you move in. Take detailed photos and videos of everything, including existing wear and tear, and keep copies of all communications with management. If you or your roommates have pets, I would strongly recommend documenting the condition of shared furniture throughout your lease. One thing that surprised me is that because there is no traditional security deposit, damage charges may be assessed during the lease term rather than waiting until move-out. In my experience, this meant that significant charges could be added directly to my account while I was still living in the unit. Example for some of their charges include, replacement of batteries from the smoke detector 25$, replacement of a full sectional for 1430$, without taking into account age, general wear and tear, etc., stove drip pans 25$ each, drywall small nail hole 30$ to fill. Prospective tenants should also understand that this property operates more similarly to student housing or dorm-style living than a traditional apartment complex. The property conducts regular inspections throughout the year, and residents may be charged for damages identified during those inspections. I found the process of disputing damage charges to be frustrating and unclear. I spent considerable time requesting explanations and clarification, but often felt that communication lacked transparency and that I received inconsistent explanations throughout the process. I was particularly disappointed by the difficulty in obtaining a clear explanation of how certain damage assessments were calculated and applied. Overall, I would encourage prospective tenants to carefully review the lease, maintain detailed records, and factor potential damage assessments into the true cost of living here. For me personally, paying somewhat higher rent elsewhere would have been worth avoiding the stress and uncertainty associated with these issues. Another thing prospective tenants should understand is that this property is managed by a large corporate housing company. In my experience, this made it difficult to resolve issues on an individual basis. I often felt that decisions were driven by company policies rather than consideration of the specific circumstances of my situation. Despite multiple attempts to discuss and clarify a significant charge, I found the process to be rigid and frustrating, with little flexibility or willingness to work toward a resolution that reflected the unique facts of the case.

DO NOT MOVE HERE. I have lived at lark for 3 years and during my time I experienced many silver…read morefish and when I complained they documented "they were unable to find any during their visit" however it got so bad they would fall from the ceiling onto my bed during the night. After moving out, I received a charge for cleaning and was initially informed the charge was due to a singular dresser drawer that needed to be wiped down. 100 dollars for cleaning a drawer. That is ridiculous. After constant probing and relentless attempts to get an itemized bill for the cleaning including cleaning crew rates, they denied my dispute and instead added more "cleaning items" to justify the cost. It is hard to get a response from lark in general as all disputes must happen over email where they rarely reply. For this specific dispute I have sent over 20 emails and have only received roughly 5. All of which have been dismissive and never addressed the questions raised. The last response from Madeline added extra items to justify the cost of cleaning based on photos uploaded. In her conclusion, she stated they would not discuss this issue further. They are not looking for a resolution. They are overcharging for cleaning and taking advantage of the undergrads living there. This is very predatory behavior. Again my recommendation is NEVER MOVE HERE.

Fancy college livin', this is…read more For those who're fortunate enough to call First Street Towers their home, it's about as good as dorm living can get. And by good, I mean 'clean', 'quiet', and 'DAMN THAT SH*T'S EXPENSIVE'. We're talking major sticker shock here, folks--to the tune of $14K per academic year. This is in stark contrast to Cary Quad's $7K/year room & board. So is it worth it? Yes and no. The building is still shiny new and fits right in with Purdue's vision to appeal to a higher class of clientele. Each floor has two recreation areas with HDTVs and sofas, as well as a pair of clothes washers/dryers, a microwave and study table. Elevators are speedy and well-kept. Living here, you know you'll get the best facilities on campus (printers, lounge areas, etc)--the people are what will make (or break) your experience here. First off, the cleaning staff (each floor has its own) are very friendly and approachable. They're some of the nicest, most under-appreciated people at Purdue--so talk to them, even if it's just to say hi! The other faculty.....well not so much. Nancy at the front desk is, well, a 'not nice 4-letter word.' Usually irritable, occasionally condescending, really not the best person to greet first-time visitors. I fondly recall one time where I deftly swiped a dessert from across the street to snack on back in my room. Turns out, she reported me for theft of--wait for it--A PIECE OF PIE. Henceforth known as 'The Cherry Pie Incident', it got me into some seriously hot water with the residence manager, someone from HR, talk of potential police action......honestly it was a lot of unnecessary heat brought on by one person lacking a sense of humor. It was a major bummer. Aside from that, living here my sophomore year was one of my fondest memories of Purdue, and I met some fantastic people through living at First Street Towers. I loved the southern-looking view from my 5th floor room, even if the front desk people were problematic. This place is ideal for recipients of an academic scholarship or students whose families have deep pockets. Those on a tighter budget should only come here to use the FREE washers/dryers and give Nancy a hard time. Tell them 'Eric S' sent you. "Oh, you mean the cherry pie dude?" Yeah, that guy.

McCutcheon hall has been the home to a great many students at Purdue University. The great thing…read moreabout the hall is the type of people living here. The welcoming and highly motivated Residential Assistants provide an encouraging healthy learning and living environment. The events that they have created for their communities has fostered excellent growth and development of the residents. The facility conditions are excellent as they have just renovated both the men's and women's bathrooms. The service staff does an excellent job at maintaining the condition of the building as well as enduring proper working utilities. Issues are fixed within 48 hours and everyone is just so friendly. The downside to McCutcheon hall is the location. The walk to campus is known as the infamous McCutcheon Mile. It takes roughly 10-20 minutes to get to a location on campus, by bike it could take 5-15. Overall, I am satisfied with what the residential hall offers and have enjoyed living here for the past 3 years!
