Ivy Garden Apartments

Ivy is close to the law school, relatively affordable, and has a cozy feel. I love that the property has a lot of trees, and one of my joys is looking at the tree outside my bedroom window. Additionally, the style of the apartments make it feel more homey than a giant tall block of an apartment. Ivy buildings are only three floors, and the design looks like houses. Another advantage of Ivy is that the management is on-site and responsive, and they don't nickel and dime you.
Of course, no apartment is perfect. Some units in Ivy, including mine, have old and outdated finished. However, it is clean and adequate.

Groud apartment

Great value, great management, close to school and stores/restaurants. A little old but no other complaints

Really close to the law school, relatively cheap. Wish there were more amenities/utilities included. Good for single person or couple.

Current Student

Very convenient and good value

Ivy Garden's is a great complex for closeness to the law school and privacy, but amenities are limited.

Ivy Garden apartments are the quintessential student housing. Reasonably priced, nothing special. They are a great location to the law school and spacious. They simply lack real character and privacy.

Ivy apartments are generally more spacious than others closer to the law school. There is more space in the complex, too. I have only had one maintenance issued and it was addressed quickly. I have an upgraded unit so the appliances and finishes are new, which is a plus. Before picking an Ivy apartment I would try to see where it is within the complex and if it is upgraded. There is some variability within the complex. I would say I am more satisfied with my housing situation, as are my classmates living in Ivy, than classmates living in other complexes close to the law school.

Pros of Ivy Garden:
-easy to walk to school
-really responsive management and maintenance
-close to anything you’d need
-very comfortable living space for one person or a couple
Cons:
-more car dependent than Pav
-pretty dated in most units
-small kitchen
