University Courtyard Apartments, athens-ga

DO NOT LIVE HERE. I would like to preface by saying there are some positives to this complex, including convenient shuttles, great location for OU students, a clean pool, utilities included, and the maintenance guys, Chris and Joe. We saw them frequently during our stay. We also got new carpet right before move in and appliances (fridge, washer and dryer, microwave) were adequate. We understand that this is a college apartment, so sometimes living standards are lowered. However, upon move in, the floors were black, there was gum on the floor, black mold in the closet, the couches were black, cabinets were chipping, considerable amounts of dead bugs in the lights, sink was coming apart from the wall, and kitchen cabinets smelled like mildew. In the year that we lived in the apartment, we could never walk on the laminate floor without shoes, and that was after cleaning the floor with ammonia 10+ times. Starting in October, the Asian lady beetle infestation began. Throughout the winter, there were hundreds of them surrounding the windows and windowsills and we would vacuum up the alive ones, as well as their carcasses, multiple times a week. The apartment flooded six times during our stay, so if you plan on living here, do not keep any valuables low to the ground. Additionally, the cabinets were old and unstable, so during spring break, all the glassware on the shelf shattered on the floor and stovetop (pictured). In the bathrooms, we experienced flooding from the ceiling and a ceiling tile falling out into the shower. These issues are not simply the “wear and tear” that management claims it to be. The apartment is filthy. Aside from apartment complaints, we had poor experiences with the management of University Courtyard as well. In May, when our roommate moved out after graduating, they placed a new roommate in the open room and did not inform us. The new roommate had already signed a lease to move in and knocked on our door saying she was moving into the apartment in two days and wanted to see the room. There was no communication of this change until immediately before. (Thanks Courtyard!) Before Courtyard responds with some kiss ass comment for this review, I would like to conclude by saying that no amount of apologizing can make up for the unsanitary and poorly managed conditions we experienced during our lease. If you’ve already signed your lease- good luck! I’d start looking elsewhere.

Nikkie is absolutely amazing! She answers all my questions and doesn’t make me feel like I’m being a bother. She’s patient and is such a people’s person! I enjoyed talking to her about Courtyard and if I do choose courtyard at the end of the day it will be because of Nikkie, she is so knowledgeable and smart!! Thank you for making the search easier!

I have had a wonderful experience dealing with this company that owns these apartments and runs these apartments. These apartments are housing for college students. They are mostly set up with four rooms sharing one big common space so it’s in between a dorm and being in your very own apartment. They have a wonderful pool a wonderful area for the students to use for studying and printing things and faxing things. They have a lot of fun things for the students to participate in there at the apartments. There is public transportation that runs several times a day to the university and I believe other places as well. And I cannot tell you how wonderful Chris the property manager is he is one of the nicest people I have met in a very long time and he has done wonderful things to help my daughter get settled in this apartment situation. This is her first apartment and Chris has made it a wonderful experience for the family. and I want to tell everybody who’s thinking about sending their children to ohio university that this is a wonderful option for their junior and senior year. Thank you to everybody there and as a sidenote, my daughter‘s apartment and most of the apartments that face the west have one of the most amazing sunsets. I have seen in a very long time☀️☀️

I moved in Courtyard apartment since 2023 as undergraduate student and I moved out after I graduated from grad school in Engineering. This place carried alot of memories for me. I would like to thank leasing office agents specifically Nickey and Corey for their fabulous hospitality and helpful service that they tried hard to provide it for us as residents. They’re very kind leasing office agents.
