The Pavilion at North Grounds Apartments

So expensive for what it is

The building and the apartments look great. However, we have had a lot of problems with the elevators and the wi-fi. It is a nice building and has great amenities but it is not the best choice if you want to save money. The units are furnished. They allow pets. If you are on your own, Copeley or Ivy are great choices for less money.

The location is the biggest plus for me. The building is generally pretty nice, but sometimes maintenance can be slow to fix issues. I also think that the rent is overpriced.

The best part about it is definitely the location and living close to a lot of other law students. Since I don't have a car here, this is one of few realistic options for housing since the law school and grocery store are both so close. The apartments themselves are renovated and look really nice. I know people who have had a lot of maintenance issues but personally it hasn't been too bad. That being said, it is very expensive and overpriced for what you are getting. If I had a car I would choose a different option.

Living at the Pavilion has been a generally convenient and positive experience. There are countless amenities, and the proximity to the law school is particularly beneficial. The management could use some improvement, as we have had some issues getting them to address certain utility and machinery problems that we have faced in a timely manner, but they are generally helpful. The community is pretty lively, so sometimes the neighbors or people in the shared pool or dog park areas can be loud. The apartment itself is very spacious and the option to have it furnished saved us a lot of money.

I have lived at the Pavilion for all three years of law school. The only reason I have stayed is out of convenience--having furniture, my own bathroom, and close access to the school.

Were it not for the conveniences, I would have left the Pavilion because it is incredibly expensive and the management is unhelpful.

It's nice to live so close to the law school, especially when I'm so tight on time in 1L. I use the gym in the building a lot as well, and I'm close to a lot of friends (even those that don't live in the building.) The finishes aren't great and there have been a few issues with the internet and elevators but overall I think it was a good fit for 1L. Now that I'm here with my feet under me I am planning to move somewhere more affordable for next year.

I've had lots of issues with the Pav, and I look forward to moving out. The two best things about living here are 1) proximity to law school and 2) the gym downstairs. The worst things are that it is so expensive, you have to pay additionally for parking, and the amount of maintenance requests you have to submit are ungodly. (I've had issues with air conditioner, nails sticking out of the carpet, and fans falling from the ceiling).

My favorite thing about the Pavilion is that it’s so close to grounds and so many other law students live here. The negative aspect is the price: it’s quite expensive, especially if you add parking, and it’s not really as “nice” or fancy as I would expect for how much it costs.

The Pavilion at North Grounds is a terrible place to live. You have to check your account ledger very often, because they sneak in a lot of random fees. If I hadn't been paying attention to my account balance, I would have paid numerous fees that I was not required to pay. When I reach out to delete the charge, they typically do, but they shouldn't have appeared on my statement in the first place. My ceiling also caved in (chunks of it fell to the floor), because they did not take my maintenance requests about water damage seriously. They also increase rent by over $200 to pay for renovations they're doing to the common areas. These are just a few examples of why this is a terrible place to live; I could go on.
