Ever West Lafayette, west-lafayette-in

Terrible management of pool area and even worse service. If your room has windows facing the pool, expect to be tormented by the speakers, Jumbotron, first floor balconies neighbors, and/or mysterious pool-goers after 11pm randomly a few times a month. The Jumbotron and pool speakers are completely controlled by the office or whoever works at Ever, and both of these appliances are so unreliable that they could either randomly turn on in the middle of the night or just be completely left on past their turn off times at 10pm. The Jumbotron is a huge screen suitable for billboard ads in Times Square, and its screen is as a result extremely bright. It seeps through the flimsy see-through default curtains and flashbangs you in your sleep and is much worse than having a tv on in the room as you sleep. This has happened at least 5 times last semester, and each time I complained, the office tells me “it won’t happen again”, and each time that had been a lie. Now this is not the worst of it because for visual things you can at least still get sleeping masks ( I do have blackout curtains but since they can’t easily cover the entire window space, the Jumbotron can still seep through - it’s that bad); the worst part is the pool speaker. There are speakers situated around the perimeter of the pool place so they are placed very close to the windows on the first floor. The lower your floor is, the closer your window is to the speakers. The speakers are unpredictable and when they turn on, they show no mercy at all - it’s no different than your neighbors having a music party next door, and there is little to nothing you can do for the noise other than cry because you have a 7:30 am lab the next day and you’ll be running on no sleep involuntarily. Likewise, when I told the front desk and spoke with Ever’s manager, he told me “someone was messing with it”, and this happened at least three times when I complained. Today, the pool speaker turned on at around 5:30 am, waking me and my roommates up. So, this issue has not been fixed or even given the level of attention it needs. While not everyone’s apartment unit is facing the pool area, for those who are, it is absolute torture and demolishes your sleep schedule. If my roommates and I on the second floor wakes up in the middle of the night by the speakers, I can’t imagine what the first floors feel when the speakers are literally right next to their windows. I do not care whether someone was messing with the speakers or not; I care whether they are on or off. Ever’s manager has done a terrible job with managing these two appliances. I think they should just be permanently disabled until they are absolutely sure they can be off during quiet hours because these entertainment devices bring nothing other than terror for those who are pool facing. Police can’t even do anything about it because they can’t turn it off. I’ve also reported this to the City through SeeClickFix and they also can’t do anything about it. There has been negative reviews detailing this issue before, yet these issues still persist, so my two-cents is don’t expect these issues to be fixed and if you are able to not sign with them, please don’t. I would love to have a chat with the area manager, Rachel, if she could help me find a solution. I really didn’t want to leave a negative review in hopes that Ever will come around and fix these issues for good, but it looks like this is a last cry-for-help in hopes of getting these issues another round of attention. Update: They claimed it was not their speakers playing the noise at 5:30am, and addressed the issue by disabling the speakers on normal days and notifying first floor residents about not playing music during quiet hours. I am pleased they have finally addressed this issue promptly after I posted this review, so I raised my rating to 3 stars. Update 1/19/26: The pool TV was left on the whole night and it is audible from our rooms which disturbed my sleep. See video below. I am lowering my rating to 2 stars.

Bella, Ria and Sasha are always so nice and personable. I love passing by them at the front desk. they made my time here 10/10

My experience here has been completely unacceptable, especially considering how much we pay to live here. Within my first week, the apartment stayed around 80 degrees for almost an entire week, and it took numerous complaints and multiple maintenance visits before the air conditioning was finally fixed. Then, the washer left black lines and residue all over my white clothes, and one of my roommates experienced the same problem. I found black residue inside both machines, along with rust looking debris and buildup around the dryer’s lint-filter area, and I had to clean everything myself. I have been afraid to wash my clothes since because I do not want anything else ruined. On top of that, while I was simply adjusting the angle of the showerhead not twisting or removing it, it fell off, hit me directly in the head, and caused me to bleed. After dealing with an extremely hot apartment, damaged clothes, dirty appliances, repeated complaints, and an actual injury, management offered only a $250 gift card. In my opinion, $250 does not begin to make up for everything that happened; that amount alone should go toward replacing the clothes ruined by their washing machine. These were not small inconveniences, and nobody should experience this many maintenance and safety problems immediately after moving into an apartment. Based on how these issues and the compensation were handled, I cannot recommend living here. This is not what you expect paying 1600 a month completely unacceptable.

I lived at Ever Living during my senior year at Purdue, and it was a great living experience. I’ve lived in dorms and two different apartment buildings before, and Ever was by far my favorite option. The staff was always incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming, which made such a difference. The property was well maintained, the atmosphere felt comfortable. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to live!

For $1500 a month YOU TOO can get windows and walls thinner than a tortilla! If you live in a room facing the courtyard pool, good luck getting any sleep because there are trespassers partying there at 3 AM all the time. Management only hires security for 4 days out of the week and only 10PM-3AM, which does not deter anyone from trespassing and loitering. EVER knows this but refuses to hire them for longer because they need to preserve their profit margins. They will not take you seriously and any action they take is the bare minimum to shut you up and maintain their image. They only care about you enough for you to keep forking over your money. Poorly designed, poorly built, and poorly managed building.
