I went to ask them about it the next day and they said they've had a big issue with people parking there and haven't done anything about it except tow people. I asked about putting signage up and they said there wasn't anything they could do. If they choose to stick to a short-term solution such as constantly towing people, rather than a short easy long-term fix like putting up a single sign, I don't even want to consider living here. They were not understanding or helpful at all even when I tried to offer a solution to their issue.

What's next - the hot water to go out as well? They are nice enough about acting concerned but as other reviews have noted takes them too much time to get anything done and nobody follows up to tell you where things stand. I do see another review that states the ceiling fan has been leaking for six months so wonder if its the same unit and they just do nothing about it. Highly unlikely given the number of units so would guess its a common problem and a flawed building.

My sink and bathtub do not drain effectively, and my toilet regularly clogs. I do not use any waxy products and do not have long hair, so this has to relate to the plumbing itself. My room is the size of some closets I have seen and barely fits the bed itself let alone any furniture. The giant "speedbumps" in the parking garage serve to violently jar and shake my vehicle (yes, even when going at or below the prescribed speed) which I suspect has contributed to some suspension damage and alignment issues. I know of multiple instances of vehicles being improperly towed despite displaying a university issue hang tag (with no refunds). The parking spots are also too narrow for a full sized vehicle and only fit compact cars effectively. Regular "fire drills" (read: room searches) from the university admin serve to limit any amount of peace that could be attained here. The wifi has no password (read: public access, unsecured) and is somewhat reliable, but don't bet on it working. The gym is pretty good, and that along with the staff is all I can really praise here. The building is actively falling apart with cracks in multiple walls, and I have been in multiple rooms with foul smells seemingly coming from the air conditioner ducts. I have effectively abandoned any concept of maintenance orders as none have been responded to despite emails, requests, and the dreaded "portal". The trash rooms are infested with roaches as well, but honestly that's the least of this place's worries. Oh yeah, and the train horn when you're trying to sleep. I have posed this review as honestly and cordially as possible. This is not intended as a hit piece, it is just my genuine experience here. I hope in coming years the university makes efforts to improve conditions here, even if it costs them some profits (rent here is higher than some mortgages).

What they are doing to our college kids is unacceptable! My daughter, like most college kids don't…read moreknow to take pictures when moving in. For most this is their first time being away from home. When we moved my daughter out of the apartment, there were no stains or damage to her room. We get a bill for a " stain"( that was not there when we moved her out) on the carpet and scuff marks on a wall( that a magic eraser would have easily taken off, had it been there when we moved her out). Upon speaking to Haley, I was asked, does she have pictures proving she didn't do the damage? Of course not!! Well, she's responsible for it! I told her that neither were there when she moved out, her maintenance crew probably did it if there are marks there. The pictures she sent me or blurry, and no identification of it even being my daughter's apartment. This has nothing to do with paying for damages, if my daughter had indeed made them and they were there when I moved her out! In the picture with the stain on the carpet , it's not even a stain , it's a shadow of the person taking the picture! Not to mention how blurry these photos are, and the steep price tag they want to charge for these. When I said, you're charging this price for something that could be taken off with a magic eraser, and she said I can't speak on that! So that tells me if was probably wiped off and we are being charged for it being painted! Biggest thing is there were no marks or stains in her room when I moved her out. Parents, please let your kids know to take before and after photos!

Auburn is just growing and other places are either nicer for more (worth it though) or cheaper and further (usually not as nice).

The date was delayed because we were told the unit had to be turned over. Upon moving in, the apartment reeked of a wet animal smell. Mattresses in the apartment had so much pet hair that it was disgustingly ridiculous. The carpet was not cleaned or vacuumed. Pet hair was in the carpet and stuck on walls. Note...MY DAUGHTER IS HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO PET HAIR. She was sneezing, her nose runny, her skin broke out in hives and her eyes were puffy all night. There is black mold under a bathroom sink. Shower head is not attached and completely broken. Bathroom sink clogged. Paint peeling and falling into tub. A hole in the ceiling of a bedroom. Bed frame was broken. Bedroom window has multiple cracks. Kitchen sink has obvious water stains under the sink that appears to be molding. Before her dad and I left, we were told maintenance would be in to make repairs the same day. Her dad left and I stayed. I was there until 7 a.m. the next day. No sight of maintenance. I had to get back to Birmingham. I sent my daughter to the leasing office when it opened. She was told that maintenance doesn't have a phone number but they have an after hours number. What?!?!?! She unlike her mother is not assertive and was given no option for a resolution. Originally I thought maybe Auburn placed Tuskegee students in the worst units. However after reading reviews, it appears that this is a poorly maintained property that is not fit to house an animal. If I cannot get resolution today, I will unhappily be back in Auburn first thing Monday morning! Prayerfully, my daughter does not get sick from the mold and animal hair. Apartment is one step away from being inhumane.
