Hawks Pointe

It is a bit dated, as the appliances are old, and the fixtures are weathered. However, beyond that it isn't a bad apartment.

Really good except for the bus route.

Management is really good. Friendly environment. But the building are old.

Within 30 minute walk to downtown

I do recommend students who want to live near the campus choose this apartment, but please choose less roommates or live alone.

Great price, good location that's near campus. The management is good and the floor plans are a decent amount of space. It's generally quiet. The only real issue I have is that they try to stick you with additional fees such as renter's insurance which only covers them. Even if you have your own policy and notify them of it it's nearly impossible to stop them from charging you to pay for their insurance. We've tried to opt out every year, and we follow all requirements to do that, but we were still charged for the coverage we don't need. That coverage is added to the rent and so there's pressure to pay it even if you've officially opted out on the portal. We still haven't been credited for the payment we made for the insurance that was charged in error to us this August. And they do go up quite a bit on rent each year (this term we're paying about $30 a month more). And when there is a billing issue, the leasing office refers you to the management company, which NEVER responds to emails or voicemails. So, those bits of a nickel and dime are frustrating and feel like you're taken advantage of. We would like to move, but that's very hard in Lawrence with the weird way they do leases in this city which causes you to be homeless for weeks even though you've paid for the first month. End of rant.

Its nice, maintenance could be a little better.

Apartment feels older, with little upgrades. Neighbors are usually okay, but cops have been called multiple times and I smell weed everyday/night. Roomates are fine, no drama there. For $500 they are okay, I’ve had worse. But you can find better and slightly safer places if you start your search early enough.

Its a great place run by kind people. Perfect for students. Also great for first time apartment owners.

It's a fine place with a good location at Hawks Pointe 2. Not far from campus so I can't complain. The water tastes really weird and the washer-dryer combo machine doesn't really work, but the space is okay.
