Maplewood Apartments

Affordable and use tocampus. Takes time for them to fix stuff. Cheaply made but you get what you pay for.

New buildings and amenities, washer/dryer in unit is a huge plus. Maintenance requests take a while though and after hours staff can be hard to reach.

Maplewood is great. You're close to campus and surrounded by other students. It's a great place to pet owners, and there's a strong network of dog owners who support each other.

It can get loud, especially late at night, on weekends, and during big events. You can hear the band in the football stadium from your apartment.

Management is understaffed and slow to respond to issues.

Transportation can be tough. There's one bus that goes to campus and you're far from everything but Collegetown.

Our townhouse is amazing and huge - laundry in-unit, 2 full baths (including bathtubs!), huge common area. We are on the far end of Maplewood, which adds 5-10 minutes walking to our commute (20-min walk to Sage) - but, we also have a view of trees from our windows, instead of other buildings. There are also tons of amenities - beautiful gym, free starbucks coffee in the community center, hammock garden, etc.

That said, some apartments and townhouses don't have as much space - and there's no way to know until you move in. Management isn't very responsive.

I rarely have any issues with Maplewood. I was the first tenant in my apartment, so it's been clean and functional. The apartments are a little poorly designed (e.g. a door that hits another door), but overall they're great.

Apartment is new and I am the original occupant. Furnished and nice enough, but management is VERY slow to fix things. For example, the front door to our building was broken and

Great Overall, Good Location, Affordable Prices

Apartments are new and are probably some of the nicest in Ithaca. Rent is a little steep but we have great amenities and it is nice that utilities are included in the rent. Management is extremely difficult; I usually avoid them at all costs.

Maplewood - very good experience

Maplewood is a short 10 minute walk to campus or Collegetown. The complex is new, cheap, and for grad students only. It's also very pet friendly, and there's a decent gym.

Public transportation isn't great, and parking can be tough. If you don't like dogs, you should consider CTT, as they're impossible to avoid here. But that's just the way I like it.
