Tuckaway Apartments

A bit pricy but worth it.

There are 8 A/C compressors under my study room window, which are very disturbing on and off all the time. Those compressors not far from the bedroom are loud and need to be updated.

I really love my apartment, and the location is great. However, I feel like the office staff members are a little lazy at times.

I like living here. The one bedroom is pretty big and it’s a pretty quiet complex. The maintenance and management respond pretty quickly to anything I need.

Tuckaway is a PHENOMENAL place to live. The apartments are clean, spacious, and beautiful, and the buildings, ground, and facilities are fantastic. It's really affordable for Lawrence as well. While it's right off of a busy street, the name Tuckaway is very descriptive and once you're in the complex it's completely different that the rush and traffic on 6th St. It's quiet, the community is full of great people, and the maintenance & office staff are the absolute best.

Loved my time living at Tuckaway. It isn't the cheapest option, but I've found it's worth it for the price of a one-bedroom as someone with two animals and depression (a grad student staple).

The Tuckaway complex is fairly large, but has lots of trees and privacy for each unit. All sorts of people live here from new families, retirees, to graduate students, so it is very quiet. The complex is very walkable and residents are always outside walking dogs or socializing. Management and maintenance are all very helpful, kind, ,responsive, and have a vested interest in taking care of residents and their units. I've never had to wait more than 24 hours for maintenance to come fulfill a request.

The apartment units themselves are very well constructed with thick walls and floors to prevent noises from neighbors. Fixtures and cabinets are updated and made of good materials that are built to last. The windows are large but well made, so you can enjoy the sunlight without ruining your energy bills. Closets are very large and the bedroom and living room have built in shelving and storage. All units are furnished with a small TV and gas fireplace. Units also come with an alarm system that management will program for you, as well as very sturdy locks and doors.

My only compliant is that all communication with management is done on paper and you must pay rent with a check. There is an online portal for maintenance requests, but otherwise all the paperwork is done on paper. However, management is more than willing to mail paperwork to you and communicate via phone/email as much as possible.

Good maintenance, Friendly neighbors, disciplined management

The complex is only 3-5 min from Green Hall! It’s very quiet, very homey and spacious. The staff are a little lazy but will get stuff done with a little push

I have lived at Tuckaway for 4ish years now, and it is a fantastic apartment complex for grad students who want a quiet neighborhood.

Pros:

- great management

-very quick maintenance response time

-Large 1 bedroom

-allows dogs both large and small (& cats) with pet rent and deposit

-quiet neighborhood

-I have seen the management make accommodations for people with physical disabilities (i.e. changes to porch, blue parking spot reservations added)

-only a 5 minute walk to the grocery store

-clean outside, lots of prompt landscaping, sidewalk repairs every year, and multiple trash pickups during the week

Cons:

-small parking spots

-not super close to a bus stop (5 minute walk) if you require that

-can be somewhat tough to get out of the neighborhood at rush hour times

I will mention there are also 2 & 3 bedroom apartments available as well, and I have seen many families in the neighborhood too. There are also 2 free pools in the neighborhood, and you can pay an optional $15/month for the on-site gym.
