zero stars!!!!!…read more Maintenance or police? My son and his friend was blocked in by golf carts and not allowed to leave the property. They berated them for 10 minutes (19yo AA student and 19yo Indian student). When my son recorded them they then lied to the GM that they were assaulted (grown white men 30 and 60) by to kids.

Former resident here, this is my honest review. TL;DR:…read moreMaintenance crew is the only good thing here, and some of the landscaping. It's not cheap to live here anymore, management is a nightmare, and the property is rundown For starters, they try to charge you wherever they can. Move-in for me was late August (also the weekend before the semester began) and move-out was the week before the end of July. The lease requires rent to be paid in full for all twelve months, meaning that they received an entire month's rent without me actually living in the apartment. They also charge ridiculously and unnecessarily, including one instance for me where they found a burned-out lightbulb in the apartment and charged us $25 to replace it. My roommates and I weren't entirely sure that lightbulb functioned to begin with, either, because we remembered looking around to see if anything had changed since we'd moved in with the lights. What's more is that the renewal offer we received increased the monthly rent from $450/mo to $625/mo for the same apartment and amenities. Absolutely ridiculous. Management is also an understatement. Some of these people are wanna-be tyrants. I had been told at move-in that parking passes (of which I had selected the free option, and I had registered my vehicle long before this) would be issued later as they had not come in yet, and that I should be on the lookout for an email. That was late-August. Around the 20th of September, I hadn't heard anything, so I went to the office. I was "informed" that I had received an email on the 27th of August stating that the deadline for picking up parking passes had passed, and that I would now be receiving a charge for $5 on my account. Since I had received no such email, I asked if the charge would be removed if I could provide proof that I had received no such email to which the desk attendant said yes. Upon submitting proof that neither my main nor my junk folders contained any such emails, I was informed that the charge would remain on my account (which was now $15), and I was thanked for my cooperation. On principle, I said no thanks and fortunately was able to file a complaint with the BBB that got them to reverse the charge, but it wasn't until November that this happened! And the icing on the cake? The reason for this charge? No-one knows because the entire process for getting me my sticker was the desk attendant turning around, grabbing the sticker from a drawer (of which there were stacks), and writing my apartment number on it in red sharpie! The general condition of the complex is also questionable. There is rust visible on the handrails including sections where the railing would have an end support, missing nuts to secure the steps on the stairs, and the equipment in the gym is run down and unorganized. In my apartment, one of the doors closing off the laundry area would always catch, one of the bedroom doors wouldn't close properly once it warmed up, the ventilation system didn't blow well in my room, while in my roommates room was the fan meant to circulate air throughout the apartment keeping him up. The floors were scuffed and scratched from the chairs in the kitchen, the ceiling was stained (likely by an exploding soda bottle), there was a pair of satin pajama bottoms in my closet when I moved in and the soap rack in my shower fell and damaged the tub. There are a number of other gripes I would like to make against the quality of these apartments, but I feel you may get the picture. Overall, I give zero stars to Alight. The one star is for the maintenance guys. They were some chill dudes that got the job done and got out. Always super understanding and reasonable. A little messy sometimes, but that's acceptable for me considering how prompt they were.

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 just moved out and they stuffed me with a 400 dollar cleaning fee…read more I went through the trouble of cleaning the place to mitigate as much of the cleaning fee as possible but it didn't matter because all my efforts just went to waste as they still price gauged at the tiniest blemishes. Who even charges 400 plus for cleaning and touchups? There were no damages to furnitures or flooring, and yet Redpoint management people were dumb enough to hire cleaning crews that charges absurd amounts. The incompetency of this property is simply absurd, to deduce my cleaning efforts are worthless in order to price gauge as much out of the tenants as possible to take advantage of the fact we are moved out and cannot bother them anymore.

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.

They will pile extra fees on top of that, and you have to pay rent for every animal. They also do not accept valid ESA forms because they want to charge you more money. They do not care for the residents there, taking up parking spaces for months on end for construction projects. They take advantage of young, first-time renters and it is disgusting.

NOW, residents can't get things from USPS delivered or Amazon so something to consider when thinking about living here.

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.

Then, if they break your lease, you're left with a bill to pay. How does that make any sense?!"**

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.

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!
