From the day he moved in and we called with some minor maintenance issues (which were taken care of within 24 hours), to any maintenance calls throughout the year that were also promptly addressed, the people at Kleinpenny have been a pleasure to work with.

My wife and I asked Bryan Wharton to sell our home. He had the house listed for 17 hours (not a…read moretypo) when he called and said "I have an offer over your asking price." We thought it would take months to sell the place and are clearly thrilled with that result. We then asked him to sell some vacant land that we owned. We were in no hurry to sell and priced it pretty aggressively. Bryan went right to work. He used every tool in his tool bag and worked extremely hard to aggressively market our property. Again, remarkably, he had an offer we could not refuse 17 days later. My wife now calls Bryan the "house whisperer" based on the noted amazing results. I would simply give Bryan Wharton, and the entire team at Ohio Realty, my highest recommendation if you are selling real estate in Athens or a surrounding county.

I spent my first year of graduate school (last 10 months) at Beckford place apartments and found…read moreboth the complex and landlord to be quite pleasant. While there are your occasional negative experiences (leaky sink, closet doors sliding off guide rail, & online rent pay being buggy), I cant complain about the integrity of the apartment. This complex is pet friendly and quiet. I often like being left alone while doing schoolwork or studying and this place ticked that box. The landlord and maintenance man are welcoming and kind people who make it their life's work to make sure the apartments are up to snuff and gave me a unit that was undeniably the cleanest rental space I have experienced to date. The neighbors are friendly and non-intrusive which is all I could ask for. I would advise saving for wear and tear caused by you or your pet prior to moving out as there is no security deposit, this complex runs on a fee based system for damages which is billed after move out. Some number I would have liked to know in preparation for living here: -~$200 move in/reservation fee -1 Bedroom costs $641/mo -$30 pet fee for every month you have a pet in the apt. -$200 first time pet fee -Bills in addition to rent are electric (avg. $50-135/mo based on month), & internet (spectrum 100mb runs around $65) -$30 for mailbox keys (2) which is refunded if both are returned at end of lease Some tips for living here: -Get a washer/dryer: Laundromat in The Plains is closed permanently and there is a hookup in the back room of the apt. Closest is Ambassador Laundry in Athens -Bring furniture movers/sliders, or some carpeting to protect to floor -Buy a bulk of doggie bags to help pick up after your pet -ALWAYS place something beneath the dog cage that is expendable (Carpet, Piece of Plywood) in case the cage shifts and causes small abrasions in the vinyl wrap flooring -Only fast food options are McDonalds or prepare to hop on 33 towards Nelsonville or State St. Athens Overall I will give this complex a 5 star rating as it is in close proximity to OU, free parking, close to the bike trail, accommodating staff, pet friendly, unfurnished, secluded, extremely clean, and all electric appliances (plus in my opinion) Drawbacks are the easily scuffed floors and paint, and having to drive to campus in bad weather however this is offset by the proximity to the bike trail which is cost effective and a pleasant workout/bike ride. Do not regret living here in my first year, and the only reason I am moving is that I've found a buddy in my cohort who doesn't like the proximity to campus and so we compromised to move closer. Would happily recommend Beckford Place Apartments to prospective upperclassmen or graduate students.

STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE!…read more As a grad student at OU, I stayed on a short-term lease at Beckford Place Apartments for 6 months the only actual advantage in staying there. When I received the apartment, the carpet was so dirty it filled half my vacuum cleaner. After 6 months of authentic shed-experience - squeaky floors, paper-thin walls and a cranky old fridge that wakes you up at night as well as ants and roaches come summertime - I move out after thoroughly cleaning the apartment with Clorox everywhere and vacuum cleaning the spotless carpet, in fact the place was in much better shape when I left it. You can imagine the shock when I was forwarded a 169$ fee for "apartment and carpet cleaning". Outrageous, these people scam their tenants for money...
