The Avenue On College, bloomington-in

Management will just come in and out of your unit, giving you a 30 day notice and not letting you know closer to the day. The only thing worth the expense of living here about the complex is the location to IU campus. Parking is very expensive and they dont take it off the lease if you ever get rid of your car. The furniture they give you also cant leave the unit and its pretty ugly and cheap. The drawers to the dresser they give you are extremely shallow, and the desk is glued to the wall. The insulation is also terrible, so its gets really cold in the winter and really warm in the summer. The weight room is always a mess, and theres always water leaking somewhere. If you ever have a problem and bring it up to management, they just say sorry and don't get anyone who can help you. If there are 4 people living in an apartment, the storage gets small quickly. And don't expect the trash rooms to be regularly empty or the stairwells free from people's garbage. Its nice that the water is included in the rent, though.

Horrible, greedy management. They charged us $1,000 a month for a 4-bedroom/2 bath apartment, while advertising the same unit for $599 a month. When I called the leasing guy and asked to switch to the lower rate, management denied our request, so we ended up paying almost 2x what the apt was going for (which btw, was far more than anything in the area). Our unit was in the back of the building and was close to the back elevators. The elevator worked well for 2 years, but then stopped working in Fall 2025. This meant we would have to walk all the way around to use the front elevator, which was quite an ordeal while hauling groceries in freezing temps. When I asked the front desk if the elevators would be fixed, I was told: “the back elevator is really only for cargo. Residents should be lucky they were even allowed to use it in the first place.” Cargo? In an 8-story college apartment. Really? On top of this, there were random, steep hikes in electricity pricing and also ridiculously expensive move-out fees (ex: the fee schedule said cleaning one couch cushion would be like $50). Overall, management just rips off tenants. I would not recommend it. Plenty of other options down the road or in downtown Bloomington.

1k a month and when we arrived we received: Broken microwave, broken washing machine, broken tv. Dents and marks all over the walls. Hallway smells all the time. Elevator is broken. Packages are left out for anyone to take. Model room is nothing like what you are going to get. (it took them 7 weeks to give us a working tv and microwave) and the management is very rude

Failure of management to fix a sink that is leaking. It has been 1 1/2 weeks since move in and our request to fix our sons sink has been ignored. My wife has spoken to the front desk and we have filled out the "order or ticket" and nothing has been done. For the amount of rent they charge the repair service is unacceptable. My wife even spoke to Trey in maintenance who said he had completed the task, but did not. Asked for the manager to call back, no call. Moving into a apartment/town home you would expect to receive in working condition, don't expect that if you plan on renting from The Avenue On College. If anyone from The Avenue On College is reading this, please fix the sink.

Great place to live. The staff is friendly, maintenance is quick, and the location is hard to beat. The apartments are clean and move-in was easy. I'd definitely recommend Avenue on College to anyone looking for student housing.
