I never had to…read moredeal with any incompetent workers, bad maintenance response times, or anything close to a bad experience. The pool, when open, was clean and healthy. Not over-chlorinated or anything, very well maintained. The hot tub was broken for the entire year I lived here. Honestly though, it's not like you rent from a place for something like that, though. The gym was always clean, but sometimes got busy during peak non-class hours. We did have some issues in our apartment with the HVAC system, but maintenance was on top of the issue and took care of it in good time. Same thing when the weather strip on our door came off. They replaced it in good time. For one month, my rent check got lost either in the postal system or somewhere in the office. When I was notified of the missed payment, I went to the office to ask the management about it. The woman that I talked to was extremely polite and understanding, and noted that all my previous payments were in well before the monthly due date. She took off the late charges and accepted the normal payment right then and there in the office. So painless. So awesome! Very satisfied with this company and it's employees!

Good luck ever getting a package you order. This apartment complex uses a system where packages do…read morenot come to your door but instead go to a package room and you were then sent a code to retrieve your package. This is nice in theory except it takes the workers days to process packages. As a college student who has things like textbooks and food that gets delivered it is pretty infuriating when 4 to 5 days goes by without your package and every time you walk past the clubhouse, the workers are sitting there with their feet up on the desk on their phones, surrounded by a sea of packages. I would understand it a little more if the job description entailed anything other than answering the phone and processing the packages. If you go to the front desk and ask, if you can have your package, they are condescending and rude and tell you what will be processed that day (which it will not be). I'd like to point out that this is my second year living here and this was not a problem last year and only started once new management took over. I'd recommend that the front desk employees shift not be over until all the packages are processed. If the business admin ends up reading this, I don't need this to be reconciled just process my damn packages.

Just got done living here for 10 months, and the experience was not what I expected. Me and my…read moreparents got here to move in and absolutely nothing was cleaned by the owners in advance, we had to clean every room despite no one having lived there besides one roommate who got there before me. In no way had we indicated before we arrived that we were moving in early to move in our possessions or anything. I signed up for a normal move in date like everyone else. Also, not only did my bedroom and the kitchen have ants that were somehow not previously taken care of, but the thermostat actually had no effect on my bedroom at all, and I had to buy a fan for it in the early fall like I was still living in an unrenovated campus dorm with no AC. My roommates and my neighbors in identical units complained to me about this. Also the ants were written off by management as just being a State College thing, even though I've lived in State College for two years previous and never seen that, and despite the fact that there were no traps previously laid and the one treatment they gave my bedroom for ants completely solved the problem. Seemed like something that could've been done before move in, especially since they then had pest control do a property wide inspection in December. And one final thing about my bedroom, the wall between me and the adjacent bedroom was definitely super thin. I could literally hear every sound my roommate made, no exaggeration, which prevented me from sleeping many times. I went so far as to purchase ear plugs for this issue. There was a sizable space under the door that I thought was causing the issue, which would also be just as annoying, but I tried multiple times to put clothing and towels under it to muffle the sound and there was no difference in volume. With all the problems I had in my bedroom and the poor state of my unit when I arrived, I was already disappointed, but there was still more. Drawers in the kitchen scraped against the walls whenever I opened them, and the stove smoked every time I used it. I got maintenance to come by and replace every stove coil and they still emitted smoke. As for the problems with maintenance, the guy who came by was always nice, but I was rarely given any notice regarding when he'd be coming. I once came downstairs from my bedroom and he was literally just inside my home, working on something I'd asked about days before but received no communications about. In a survey following a maintenance request, I even asked to be given more notice on when someone would come by, but that never happened. Another thing, and perhaps the most annoying, is that they advertise themselves as a property that does Roommate Matching via a survey everyone takes to decide which tenants would be compatible with each other. Now I understand that in their lease they say that they aren't responsible for who you end up with, but why would you advertise something about yourself if you aren't able to follow through with it consistently? This is one of the things I chose this apartment for, and they couldn't come through for me. Another reason I bring this up is because my roommates were wildly incompatible to me. Of course my roommates could've exaggerated or lied on their surveys, but in that case I would just avoid Blue Course if roommate matching is what you're looking for, since their process for it certainly is not at all foolproof. To sum everything up, the apartment itself is just okay, but the experience was just awful. Management was nice enough most times, but the problems lie mostly in what you have to deal with in your own home, and that's the worst part and not something one should have to deal with while being stressed out enough about school. There are other options for off campus housing, and with the way this property keeps increasing their rent price while still having their utilities not included, I know for a fact (because I've seen it) that there are plenty of options downtown or closer to campus where you'll get more bang for your buck, or even for less.

When I moved in, it was obvious that the place had not been freshly painted as there was scuffs, marks, and paint peeling in spots along the walls and ceiling. It was not a huge deal to me but I made sure to report them on the inspection form they gave for me to fill out. That form did not matter as they charged me hundreds of dollars worth of damages to repaint. Wi-fi regularly had issues during my 3 years with just being too slow to stream TV or going out entirely. Other student apartments on Toftrees did not have this issue. If you need reliable internet for school work, do not live here. Wi-fi was not the only issue at the station though. One winter hot water went out for a couple days and I know other residents who lost hot water for longer periods of time. The advertised amenities would regularly have issues and be shut down. They would take weeks to get them working. Our front door handle broke multiple times so we would have to walk around to the back door just to get into our apartment. The rooms were not sealed at all as there were visible openings around doorways so bugs will get in during the summer. Every time I came back at the start of the school year, there would be piles of dead rolly pollies and millipedes in the corners of rooms. There was no food left in the apartment, they just wander in through unsealed openings and die on the floor. The key fab readers at the clubhouse would regularly break and would not get fixed. If you wanted to go to the clubhouse after the front desk closes, you have to circle around the building to find a key reader that actually works so you can get in. Management does a poor job of communicating. After 2 years of being there, when my 3rd year of the lease started, it had an extra $300 charge. I eventually found out that it was for a bus pass that had been free the previous two years. When I complained that it had been free and they gave no notice that it would no longer be free, they claimed that it was never complimentary and I should have been paying for it previous years. So, either they don't pay attention to what they charge residents, or they lied to me so I stopped complaining about the extra charges. I feel its the later as I can't imagine this company would have been fine forgetting to send out $300 charges to all their tenants. When I had issues processing payments on their payment portal and had to call their corporate help line, no one answered after days of trying. Instead they had a 3rd party call center call me back to say that Landmark properties (the parent corporation) are unable to answer the phone and he had no information to give me regarding any of my issues and did not know when I would be able to get help from someone at the company. Maintenance guys and front desk staff were friendly with me but it's clear that management cheap out every way possible and then charges tenants for anything they possibly can. Their whole business is built on students not having many options for cheap housing. If you do choose to live here, take a picture of every square inch of the room otherwise they will charge you hundreds of dollars no matter what state the room was in when you moved in.

Not to mention "Megan" who is in charge of delegating these so called damages will not answer your emails, calls, texts, or even see you in person.

The location and actual apartment are fine. Expensive, but fine…read more The management is the issue. While there were several problems, the main thing was fraudulent charges for damage fees. The apartment was in the same condition move in vs move out - actually, better condition on move out because it was clean. On move in, the apartment did NOT have new paint or any touch ups since two of the tenants had lived in the same unit the year prior, so they had left all their stuff hanging on the walls in the common areas. On move out, all 5 roommates received bills of nearly $1,000 each for damages that simply did not exist, and I very much doubt that the Legacy "fixed" anything. Charges claiming the floor was scratched when it was not (rug was on the floor in question all year) and claims of issues with the walls that would have simply been addressed by painting before the next group moved in. My advice - take videos of everything when you move in and have a move out inspection with the management.
