Maplewood Apartments

Rent Includes everything. Fully furnished. Flat walk to sage (no uphill)

Fully furnished, modern, conveniently-located apartment complex that more than satisfied my housing needs as a grad student at Cornell.

Really good value for a modern, comfortable clean apartment

Fully-furnished modern apartment in neat condition, beautiful inside and outside. Has an in-unit washer and dryer. The bathroom or shower cubicle is too small and is not ensuite. The apartment temperature control is centralized. The gym and study area are located at the clubhouse, not in the building. The route to Sage Hall is flatter than from Collegetown and is a 16-20 minute walk. However, the public transport system is not good and may be challenging in bad weather. There's only one bus for that route, which does not operate late and during weekends. I didn't like Maplewood's requirement to pay full months' rent for August, and yet the move-in date was the 20th. I paid extra money to move in on the 15th. This was unfair and didn't make sense for someone who had paid rent for an entire month plus a deposit and administration fee.

With a fully furnished apartment and individual bath, Maplewood is easy to settle in. Also, the entire neighborhood is like its own haven, with good upkeep, our own gym and park, along with the free coffee and printer. I also like that it is only a 15 minute relatively flat walk to Sage Hall.

Maplewood offers modern amenities and a convenient location near Breazzano and Sage Hall.

Being in Maplewood spares me the extra headspace/effort/hassle needed for paying extra utilities, sharing a bathroom with roommates, and access to the campus. One downside is going downtown will entail friction, but if you like the thought of being able to walk to the campus and being in a relatively more quiet (i.e., no neighbors partying loudly everyday, only some weekends) area, Maplewood is for you.

Bonus: There's central AC/heating so you don't have to worry about getting your own heater. (Just make sure you and your roommates would be on the same page in terms of temperature!)

15 min walk to the engineering quad, nice for students who always work until midnight.
Price is reasonable, and the property is relatively new

Monthly rent fee is increasing every year. We are students so that we don’t have a lot of money to support for it
