Atlas on 17th, bloomington-in

I’ve really enjoyed living at Atlas on 17th! I was a little nervous about moving into student housing at first, but the experience has honestly been great. The community is nice, the amenities are awesome, and I love how close everything is to campus. The management staff has probably been my favorite part. They’re always friendly and willing to help whenever I have a question or an issue comes up. I’ve never felt like I was bothering them, and they actually take the time to listen and help find a solution. There’s also a really good community feel here, and I like that they put on events for residents throughout the year. Overall, I’m really happy with my decision to live at Atlas and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to live in Bloomington!

I absolutely loved visiting my brother at Atlas on 17th! The property is beautiful, clean, and has such a great atmosphere. There are so many awesome amenities, and it really feels like a place where residents can enjoy themselves and feel at home. The management and staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful every time I visited. Everyone was welcoming, and it was easy to see why my brother enjoys living here. Overall, Atlas is an amazing place, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to live in Bloomington!

Honestly, I was kinda nervous about moving to Bloomington at first since I didn’t really know anyone or what to expect, but Atlas has been really welcoming! Between classes, studying, and just trying to figure out college life, it’s been nice having a place that actually feels comfortable. The amenities are a huge plus too — the music room is probably my favorite 😂. I also love the resident events like the waffle bar, giveaways, and all the random stuff they put together. It’s been a really easy way to meet people and actually have something fun to do when I’m not dealing with school. Definitely glad I chose Atlas!

This place kind of blows. The main issue is without a doubt parking. I have a pretty busy schedule during the week so I usually go to the gym late at night on weekdays. When I come back at around 9:30-10:30pm, there isn’t a single spot open and there will be 5 or more cars circling around the Atlas like sharks waiting for a spot to open up until everyone gives up and parks on the curbs somewhere. I got a parking violation and tow warning sticker for "parking illegally" this morning which I had to scrub off my car window even though Atlas management caused this problem by overselling the pass. Paying for parking should mean there is a guaranteed spot no matter what time of day it is, as none of my other friends at other apartments in Bloomington ever have this issue and don’t even want to visit because they know there will be no parking at all. If you have friends from other colleges or home visiting for a weekend, good luck. Besides the parking problem, I was locked out of my bedroom the first day I moved in and when I made an emergency maintenance request, the technician just unlocked my door with a random key and left without saying a word instead of fixing the problem. I also put in a maintenance request for a ceiling fan noise problem, since it’s impossible to sleep with it on from all the noise it makes while it shakes around the ceiling. Both of these maintenance requests disappeared off of the Atlas portal without ever being resolved, and I had to go to the front desk three times for the bedroom door problem to finally be fixed. We have also had the problem of our kitchen sink not draining from time to time, which can be a pain when you and three other roommates can’t even do dishes from dirty water levels getting so high. Besides these issues, everything else is very solid. I know I sound like a Karen and that this is basically a whole five-paragraph essay, but these issues have contributed to an overall frustrating experience at Atlas on 17th that would otherwise be very good. It’s not so much the problems with maintenance requests, but the parking situation is so annoying when you are coming back from a very long day and can’t even find a place to park but get a parking violation and tow warning sticker the next morning when it’s the fault of Atlas management. It is the only reason why I felt the need to even go to Google for a review. I’m not looking forward to how bad it is going to be in the winter. The neighborhood is nice, the location is great although a little far, the amenities are very solid, and the apartments and townhouses themselves are pretty nice, but the other issues are too prominent and egregious to ignore for a place that has a monthly rate of 800+

If i didn't have to choose a star I wouldn't. This is a poor managed complex. When we moved son in he was assigned unit that was nasty and reeked of Marijuana. We had to demand a change of unit. This unit had not been cleaned yet either. It was disgusting -cat hair everywhere and when we moved the bed 2 large areas on the floor that appeared to come from an animal. Yuck! After cleaners left with their very surface level cleaning it reeked of Marijuana as well. So this has to be the "cleaners". Was told another group would handle the carpet. Called several days in a row to complain about the carpet. No response. Then was able to reach someone and manager refused to talk to me but went back and forth relaying messages between me and a staff. Was then given a number to call or email the corporate office. Finally got carpet taken of. THEN my student was taking a shower and had water going everywhere only to find out the caulking needed to be replaced. AND NOW, he had been towed because there are no parking spaces available when we pay for parking. How can guests get spots and leave residents with no parking but be told they can park in another area that is not a part of the complex. All of this is unacceptable!!!! I know things happen and repairs happen but the lack of response from management tells me "I'm doing the bare minimum because you're locked into a lease." Don't let the newer look fool you. Poorly built. This is just a pig with lipstick!
