The Foundry

Great amenities, location, parking, and safety. Gym has enough stuff.
Cost is a little steep and securing parking on the street might be a little difficult from time to time. Service and maintenance are great; management are hard to reach sometimes. Apartment is kind of dark (not enough sunlight).

The Foundry 2023

I love my place. But please build an organized package management system.

Foundry South is a very nice property (nice amenities, spacious floorplans, etc.) with a great location if you're an ND student. Also being on Eddy St. near shops and restaurants is nice. However, management is a pain to work with. They are extremely unresponsive, especially in times when you really need them. Move-in was a nightmare and my A/C was broken for the first 2 weeks (the hottest of the year).

couldn’t ask for a better place to live!

The North Foundry building is conveniently located across the street from the Notre Dame campus (a 5-10 minute walk), and has direct access to a large parking garage. What's more, Eddy Street is a well developed business hub with plenty of restaurants and grocery stores.

Inside the apartment, the brick walls block out most external sounds. The units have large windows and high ceilings, which I particularly liked. There are also washer/dryer units in each apartment. The appliances were all in great shape and mostly up-to-date, and the ceiling lights light up all rooms except for the bedroom, which did not have any ceiling fixtures.

The building is restricted to outsiders via key access, and the hallways have security cameras. I felt very safe in the building, and especially in my apartment.

Overall, I would say that the Foundry adequately met my needs as a graduate student. The central location really makes the relatively high price worth it.

Live in the South Buildings. Slightly more expensive but newer and seem to be better maintained. Location is the best for access to Mendoza & Eddy Street

Do not go to the foundry - maintenance response time is 1+ week on average, rent is overpriced and their selling point is their location, they pitch valet trash as a benefit but you pay $360/yr for it, parking is $1k+/year, living in foundry north doesn't give you access to anything in foundry south (aka no gym), and undergraduates are very loud and trash the apartment, the walls also have a consistent smell of smoke/urine, appliances are also very inefficient and the walls are thin so your utility bills will be astronomical ($300+/month) in the winter

This apartment has an amazing location but was poorly built. I constantly have bugs collecting around my doors and windows, the workout room has flooded several times, the mail room system is a trainwreck, and the pool was out of commission for a week in the summer.

Likely the nicest near campus, but somewhat of a headache getting everything sorted before moving in and getting settled in. Probably because of the number of units for management to handle. Afterward, everything has been superb.
