Copper Beech at Ames Apartments, ames-ia

Want to start off by saying, the application process was cake. It was quick, insightful, and applied 0 pressure. The staff are very helpful and kind! Which let me shine a spot on Hunter! From move in, to questions, to quick responses, or you needed to get let in when your key was locked in your room. He's there at the spot. When I come into the main office, I'm always lookin for him. That is not to be seen as a takeaway from other staff either. They are nothing short of great!

Copper Beech is fine if you're living there during the school year. However, DO NOT live here in the summer. The pool was closed for the majority of both summers I lived there. I only got to use it 3 times over 2 summers. The game room and tanning beds were out also out of order the first summer I lived here and then the clubhouse was closed for a whole month the second summer I lived here. There was constantly construction being done and people coming in and out of the apartment. I had people come into my apartment to set up the new internet and they didn't lock my door when they left AND they used my bathroom. It not only happened once but twice. When you move out your are required to pay your final utility bill on July 1st on top of your rent and utilities for that month even though they will tell you that it just needs to be payed before you move out. Also, be prepared to pay a bunch of fees when you move out. They will nickle and dime you for every little thing.

Copper beech is super spacious!! I got a great deal on my lease from one of their events. Maintenance is relatively quick and we’ve only had to call a few times. Buses are easy to access but a bit of a walk from the back apartments where I live. The closest are HUGE!! Great place to live if you’re considering apartments for next year :)

Sorry excuse for a property management company. The higher ups running it don’t care for you or you convenience. Decided to remodel our entire kitchen and parts of our apartment a few weeks before we moved out. not sure why it couldn’t have waited. Wanted to charge us a early move in fee to move in to a uncleaned and not prepped unit while we were already gonna have to pay the full months rent amount for only being in for 10 days of that month. The workers that they hired to renovate our apartment left a mess in our space. Leaving screws on the floor, saw dust, their own trash, stuff in our toilets and fiber glass was left on my clothes. They don’t care at all for your unit. The doors aren’t sealed all the way so water can run in on bad storms and bugs. The snow removal will build snow drifts behind your cars so you can’t even leave. Wouldn’t recommend. They also will tack insurance charges on your bill even when you opt out. find somewhere else.

Copper Beech has been a great home for my roommates and me while living in Ames! The amenities are great and the staff is always super friendly - especially Hunter 😊 We’ve really enjoyed living here these past few years!
