College Park Apartments, ithaca-ny

Clean, beautiful apartment building 2 blocks from Cornell University. Friendly staff, very responsive and personable. Great security and gated parking. One of the few buildings with air-conditioning which made a huge difference! Packages delivered directly to your door or left inside your apartment. Staff very accommodating during move in. Special thank you to Douglas who does a fantastic job managing the building. Could not be happier!

The apartment itself is a decent size, but the appliances are ancient, barely work, and management refuses to replace them. Even worse, the new maintenance team is completely incompetent. When my smoke detector started going off, I was put on hold for about 10 minutes and then told it “wasn’t an emergency.” The guy on the phone tried to give me instructions to stop it, clearly not realizing it’s hard-wired into the wall. I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to sleep or get any work done with nonstop, ear-splitting beeping. It’s pretty clear they don’t actually care about tenants’ safety or basic living conditions after hours. UPDATE: After days of back and forth, maintenance finally came and “fixed” it, only for it to start beeping again immediately. The fire department had to come out to check our CO levels and told us the detectors are far too old and need to be replaced. Maintenance told us to call leasing, and leasing has since ghosted us. A smoke detector is a basic safety requirement and should not take a week (or more) to resolve. How hard can it be to go to lowes or home depot to get a detector?? This is by far the most disorganized and poorly maintained apartment in Collegetown, and management clearly does not prioritize tenant safety.

I had an amazing 2 years living here! My partner and I shared a 1-bed place with an incredible view over downtown Ithaca. The study spaces and gym are newly refurbished and really nice. Management, staff, and maintenance folks were all friendly and approachable! Highly recommend!

I had the most amazing 2 years living at 312. The apartment is a short walk from campus and safe to walk to and from at night with the new street lights installed a year ago. The management is super responsive and cooperative. It’s always clean and the spaces are really cozy. If you’re able, I highly recommend staying at 312 during your studies!

I searched many apartments and individual rooms of neighbor homes before finding 312 College Ave Apartments in the spring of 2020 before starting Cornell Law School. Once i toured 312 College Ave, I knew I'd found my place. It has been a great place to live over the past three years. The apartments are beautiful, all the appliances are brand new, there is a laundromat in the building, as well as several study rooms, a small gym and an entertainment room. Douglas Renison and his team are extremely helpful and attentive to the needs of their tenants. They are always quick to help when something breaks or disconnects. The location is perfect. It is about two LEVEL blocks to the Cornell Law campus and the Engineering building. The 312 apartments have great view of downtown Ithaca and it's not uncommon to see hot air balloons float by in the early mornings or late afternoons. The apartments are very well insulated and the students who live there are overall quiet and serious about their work. Lastly, if you have a car on campus there is great parking on two underground floors which is super helpful in the Ithaca winters. I had a GREAT three years at 312 and would make that decision all over again!
