Overlook - Nice Place to Live
I’ve lived at Overlook for over a year. I’ve never had issues with management since I’ve been here. Maintenance requests are done timely and courteously. There are a lot of families that live here so it doesn’t get super loud or disruptive like other places that might be mostly undergrad residents. The gym is pretty small but has basic machines and equipment, is useable and is usually not very busy. Appliances all work well with in-unit laundry included. It’s located in a convenient area close to all the restaurants and shopping areas on Wanamaker and about 10-15 minutes from campus.
One thing that could probably be better is indoor lighting in the units. The one safety issue I’ve experienced was a couple of car break-ins at the complex. In my unit my, the bedrooms have also tended to be considerably colder than the living room. The walls usually prevent noise coming from neighboring units but we still can hear them occasionally.

The Overlook
Rent is expensive and management is incredibly intrusive, but the community is low crime, very secure, and quiet for the most part. Management tries to play "gotcha" games and is bad about giving reasonable notice prior to entry. For lack of a better term, the property manager is "snooty." They also charge over $700 in pet fees and raise the rent based on "market price," which appears to be a made-up figure based on management's mood. They act offended when residents try to negotiate lower rent prices.

My Experience
I moved to Topeka in order to find a reasonably priced 1B/1B apartment.
