Not terrible for the price but the leasing office is unpleasant and disorganized.

My partner and I moved here last summer and love our apartment. The price is very reasonable considering we don't have to pay extra for surface lot parking or our pets. It's about a 10 minute drive to CWRU and is close to grocery stores, gyms (it also has a fitness center too), restaurants, and bars. Maintenance can be a bit slow to respond and we had a difficult time establishing a move-in date with the office managers; basically just be persistent with your emails/phone calls and keep following up until you hear back.

Kensington Place gets the job done. I have not had any major issues since moving in. Some of the appliances are older but work fine and maintenance typically comes up to fix things fairly responsively. The building is mostly older people and is fairly quiet with a night security worker. Leasing office staff is very nice. Probably a little expensive for what you get, but still not terrible. Have to pay your own electric gas and wifi, and garage parking if you want it (lot parking is free).

The apartments are clean, quiet and sound proof. The management is great, and the management office is right downstairs in the building. There's a daves and home Depot right across.

Nice aparment complex with good floor plans for 2b2b and 1b1b.

Kensington Place Apartment has great management. The built-in services, including the AC, dish-washer, microwaves, work appropriately. And I have received a lot of warm help from the officer and maintenance groups. There are Dave's market, Home Depot, Marshall's, and several restaurants across the street, making it living here very convenient.

relative cheap among the nearby not that old apartments

It’s one of the best choices for students driving to campus: rather new building and unit, affordable price, free parking as well as paid covered parking available. By”new building” I mean you won’t live in an apartment of more than 100 years old with noisy floor and shady floor plan allowing no indoor ventilation. It’s a 15 min drive to campus parking facilities. But parking on campus is EXPENSIVE....

The leasing manager is not the best, but you don’t LIVE with her anyway.

Make sure you contact them FREQUENTLY when applying if you have any special needs like flooring preferences.

Generally a safe and quiet place to live for a long time. The only problem is they only allow one year lease and it is kind of far away from CWRU, so it is hard to find roommate and car is required to live here.

Pros - Plenty of storage (4closets) with a nice balcony. It's located between school and Target which works well for me; 10 min to school, 10 min to Target/other stores. Surface lot is free and paid garage parking is available. Maintenance is very friendly.

Cons - shared laundry rooms, next to police/fire stations (can get loud), big building with lots of residents - not as personable.
