I have honestly not had a problem since I moved in a year ago. After management changed for a couple of weeks things were happening slower but the new manager helps me out with anything that I have and things are getting done instantly and everything is as advertised. Honestly a good deal to live in near campus with it being fully furnished.

The staff is super nice especially Amanda the leasing and marketing manager she is super knowledgeable and helpful in the leasing process making it stress free And a fun experience!

So I had four roommates. We each had our own rooms that were small. One shower on each side. Shared kitchen. We each had to pay, what, $200 a month?? Bull. Parking garage is poorly designed. At the time, this was really the only close off-campus option. Glad I moved out after a year.

Just moved in & I LOVE IT! The office people were so helpful and nice, especially Amanda. I am very much looking forward to my next year here!

This property has had its number of ups and downs during the two years Ive lived here. Honestly, probably a 2-3 star rating for most of that time. Met Becky recently and talked about her vision for where this property is going and shes awesome. Ownership made a great move with her and this place has been needing some steady and present leadership.

I recently took a tour and had a great experience. I toured with Becky, I believe she is the new Property Manager, and thought she was great! She made me feel comfortable, was informative and honest. I plan to apply this week since I will be attending OSU in the fall!

I love working with Amanda! Shes super helpful and makes sure that I am well taken care of. Love the amenities & the property in general!

Fantastic management super great office staff everyone’s been so helpful and accommodating and I see myself being a long term resident special thanks to Corey and Alex for being extra helpful

I had the opportunity to meet the new property manager Becky! She was able to answer all of my questions during our tour together and was available for follow up questions. Looking forward to living there this fall!!

This place is terrible I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone just disgusting, unsanitary. Not only that but you can’t get your packages till 2-3 days AFTER arrival. I still haven’t been able to get my book for my class because they haven’t logged it. Please don’t live here

Never communicate after your move out. Left my contact information to them for any outstanding fee. But they never called or emailed or texted. Instead, they went straight to collection for $30. What a mean company. Think about your future credit score if you are planning to move in. Think twice.

I chose private room and paid the rate then I got an standard room. It is included in the lease but they dont have rooms anymore which that is not obeying the lease that signed. In addition，I should with two of my friends be roommates but that is not what I got now. I was assigned to another room with two other roommates that I dont know about. Everytime I went to office to deal with exchanging room and they aways delay time and said will do it tomorrow. I dont think that they really care about the residents here.

Air conditioning has been out for over a month on the hottest days of the year and they havent fixed it. management gets annoyed when you complain and is petty about having to do their jobs. sad really because the place is relatively nice but the management and upkeep is terrible.

We pay way too much for the apartment/experience we have gotten thus far. When I asked about renewal deals the staff told me there were none and then proceeded to offer all of these promotions right after I renewed. Additionally, my apartment has had a terrible leak in the ceiling which prompted us to make multiple work orders over the course of weeks and they have not been addressed. The communication about the issue since it appeared to be a leak in the complex roof has been astonishingly minimal. So underwhelmed/disappointed with our experience!

Horrible experience. The management is unhelpful and the amenities + furniture are poorly maintained. The apartments are old and have a weird smell. Size of the apartments relative to the cost and distance to campus makes it a terrible choice now that I think about it. Please avoid signing a lease here.

It’s been a nice place to live in. Rooms were what they advertised and staff was always friendly and ready to help. Would suggest making sure hallways are clean as some residents leave messes

Package arrived but never take care for us. And all of the stuff are talking not even check in packages. Room is very bad. Office never got response for fix things. Don’t live here!!!!!

Great staff, affordable place to live for the amenities we receive. I made a maintenance request to fix my garbage disposal and it was completed within 24 hours. I recommend it!

Not worth the money at all. Small rooms, low quality, and overhyped amenities. Would definitely recommend looking elsewhere.

I have lived at The Commons on Kinnear for a month. It is really high-valuable place to live off campus. Love the fast maintenance and the people worked in the Office! Really quick response on email.If you want to be assigned a dorm you want, plan ahead of time. I had a tour last year on October and signed the lease on December. All I want is a relative quiet place. My friends who had lived at The Commons on Kinnear said the rooms on the FOURTH floor are relative quiet and clean, so I wrote my request in my leasing document. And now I live in a room I want!During this pandemic period, The office provides free hand soap at the gate on the first floor. The facilities like fitness room and computer lab are still open, but the residents need to appoint a time to use. I like this idea because it is our rights to use those facilities and it is guaranteed in the leasing document. Some apartments directly closed those facilities which I think it deprives the right of the residents. So The Common on Kinnear does a good job so far!It is convenient for OSU students to go on campus cause we can still take MC to the campus. Last meek WC starts to rerun so I can also that to the campus.Overall, it is a good place to live!

Do yourself a favor please look around at other properties. You will see a clear difference in the quality and overall upkeep of properties. Commons on Kinnear is old, slow wifi, very loud, gym is not a gym its like a cheap motel version, rooms and furniture is bad, trash everywhere all the time. I have already signed to move next year at a beautiful property. No more insect problems for me

The most disgusting place i have ever lived. The office does not care about their residents, takes weeks to respond to maintenance requests, does not clean the courtyard or hallways, amenities are always broken, AC is broken, our pool water is green. So disgusting. Go live elsewhere.

Great Staff!

Affordable and good amenities for the price, but issues with cleanliness exist. No major problems. I would recommend it if you are looking for student lifestyle housing.

I lived at the Commons on Kinnear this past school year and really liked it! I did move because my friend I was planning on living with wanted to be on the opposite side of campus so I compromised. It was nice not having to pay multiple bills because all the utilities are included in the rent, except the electric BUT you can pay the electric on the resident portal. Having everything in one, feels like it was less to be responsible for, which is nice as a student because you have enough to worry about. This part of campus is so much safer than where I live this year and they are cleaner around the grounds. I grew up in the country and in a house without heat and a/c so this was a total upgrade from what I had back at home and I felt so spoiled living here because of all the amenities offered at the complex (they have a tanning bed, pool, hot tub, gym, and beach volleyball court). It was definitely sad leaving this place because I have made a lot of friends here over the year and a lot of people in my specific college at OSU still live here. I liked that I didnt have to worry about getting furniture for an apartment last year since they are fully furnished and the BIG BONUS, at least for me, they had a dishwasher and washer/dryer in the unit which I really miss having. The management is really nice, the people in the office always had a smile on their face and try to help you with anything they can. I would definitely recommend this place to others to live at, especially fellow OSU students, because they are along a bus route. I cant speak for those from years ago, but I never really had any problems here.

Parking garage is infested with pigeons

Beware of 5 star reviews written by employees. Get ready for a disappointing experience. you get a tiny room furnished with old, cheap, beat up furniture. i think there is 4 square feet of space in the room to move around in. My shower grows mold all over the walls in literally 2 hours after i shower. After reading other reviews Im certain they will try to charge me for things i didnt do. They took me on a short tour of areas they clearly clean because the rest is not cleaned at all. Office staff is always chillin. The Commons on Kinnear, OSU Student Housing, Off Campus, Ohio State

West campus at The Commons on Kinnear is the most boring and odd place to live if you are an OSU student. Id recommend living closer to Ohio State campus. I have had over a dozen maintenance issues with my room so far and Ive only lived here for a few months. Lots of non OSU students live here and it can be frustrating finding quiet time or space to do school work. Overall i wish i would have looked harder for a place because now im stuck with roommates i thought i would be matched with better but instead i have nothing in common with my roommates and they dont let you out of your lease. Dont let the social media pages fool you it all seems like paid advertising to me because it is not true or a proper representation of living here at all

Was not pleased with room I got compared to model unit. People are very loud and dirty. Expensive for what you get. Once the pool is closed their isn’t much to offer besides an outdated fitness center that’s always full and a dirty study room. Moving to the griff next year

Dirty, Loud, and Overpriced sums up the experience here. Constantly guys in the hallway being super loud and obnoxious. No security, anyone can get into the hallways and it shows

I absolutely love this community. Everyone is from different places but everyone seems to respect each other. The staff at the office is super helpful and is always really fast when it comes to maintenance request. I will definitely be renewing next year!

Beware place is awful. I was charged for someone else leaving items in the apartment and nobody would speak to us about it. My bike was stolen and nobody cared

Constantly loud, WIFI issues all the time, Dead and alive birds all over the parking garage. Over the last week Ive seen trash pile up like never before its appalling. No way id stay here again. Apartments are tiny and outdated. Maintenance is fast and friendly but nee it way too much. Look elsewhere for the price

I love living at the commons on Kinnear There are always events planned for residences such as free rooster, game nights, and pool parties. Ive been locked out of my room late at night and I called the on call number within 5 minutes I had a new key. The office assistants are efficient and friendly.I love all the amenities such as the pool, 24 hour gym, and pool table. I highly recommend

Low grade cheap apartments. Leaks, utilities, and items break and need repair far more than usual. If your a parent and want your child to have a good experience i would look elsewhere

I have been given a Facetime tour before signing the lease. It made it really easy for me since I am an international student and was not in the town by the time that I needed to sign the lease. The staff was really helpful and supportive throughout my application. Great location, amenities, and management. I will be definitely renewing my lease for the next year.

Just signed my lease to live at The Commons next fall. Staff was super helpful from beginning to end. I looked at a few places near the area and this one just felt like home. Cant wait to transfer there in the Fall.

I’m not sure if it’s the Commons deleting my review or google but regardless I am here again to give my honest review of the Commons on Kinnear. I will continue to voice my opinions if this gets taken down again.They are kings of a good bait and switch. Im not sure where the reviews get put up but when you move in you get a $5 giftcard to leave a good review so that says something. For starters the place is advertised as $589 a month with utilities included. After fees and parking your rent comes to $625 not including an electric bill. Our first month here the electric bill was $20 each or $80 a month for this tiny apartment which is reasonable. After COVID hit I had two roomates move out and somehow our electricity bill increased. All throughout COVID it kept increasing despite my single roomate and I actively trying to not use the lights all day because we were unemployed. I scraped by and didn’t eat some days to pay my rent and increasing electricity bill. I suspected we were being arbitrarily charged the entire time but on my last month of living here they sent me our most expensive utility bill nearly a month before we had even used the utilities. In total every month I personally was paying $700 (the cheapest option) to have 3 other roomates with my share of electricity being $56. My situation was very unique where my roomates were gone 80% of the day and would just come home to sleep here so it causes even more concern. They are claiming for these tiny apartments and no one using the electricity, our the electric bill alone was $220. Obviously they lost money during COVID and placed the burden on the residents that still managed to pay them during a pandemic thinking no one would notice. That is completely unreasonable for Columbus Ohio when there’s studios down the street for $590.In addition, when I moved in our tub and sinks were peeling, my air conditioning broke THREE TIMES and I only lived here for 2 summer months. I was a 19 year old female living with 2 other 30 year old guys. I knew I was going to live with strangers but it’s advertised as college living so I didn’t expect to live with people that old much less me being a young female. Not only that, but I have to agree with another user that it is SO LOUD at all times of the day if you face kinnear. I have so many other complaints regarding the place and don’t even have the energy to list them out.To all my fellow students you WILL be ripped off here and regret your decision. This place would actually be good if you come in with your own roomates even though it’s ridiculously overpriced. At the very least only sign the half lease before fully committing. Everyone I have spoken to on the property cannot wait to get out of here and the amount of turnover at this place is unbelievable. Their business runs on young people poorly thinking out their decisions and you being stuck in a contract.Don’t get me wrong there are worse places to live. It’s a safe location, the maintenance always came promptly and the maintenance guys are always nice and not creepy in the slightest. But the units themselves are kept in bad condition, I personally have met the maintenance guys 6 times during my 7th month lease, it is ridiculously loud from street traffic, and you’re being overcharged.If money is no issue to you and your parents pay all your bills then yes this is a good option for student housing if not don’t waste it here.

Do not live in this apartment!!!Truly, there is nothing good about this apartment. The rent is high. The facilities are old. The furnitures are terrible. With 150 dollars, you can buy used furnitures that are much better. Trust me, the furnitures it offers here are also used ones.The apartment is so small that I doubt if there is a smaller apartment in Columbus. The 3 bedroom apartments here are 968 sqft, while most 2 bedroom apartments in Columbus are at least 1000+ sqft.And the rooms are not soundproof at all. I could often hear people running outside in the hallway. And every time my roommate takes a shower in her bathroom I cannot go to sleep in my bedroom, because the walls between us do not work at all.When we leave, we have to clean the whole apartment very thoroughly to get most of our deposit back. Most people cannot get full deposit back.Even a minor imperfection can result in cost.Also, I dont understand why I paid the full rent for July but have to move out by July 25th. Where did my money for the last week go? My lease for another apartment starts on August 1st. I have to find an Airbnb for that week which takes at least 300 dollars!! Even The Griffs term ends on July 31st.Trust me you can find many better apartments with lower price than this one.

Positives-I am a student on a budget and the price was very reasonable. Fully furnished made it easy to move in. found roommates for me at no extra charge. Negatives-Place is a little dated and free parking is hard to find

Seriously guys. I cannot emphasize how loud it is. I am writing this after being kept awake literally all night from either the noise next door from the Graybar, or the loud trucks and motorcycles that barrel down the street all night. When I say from experience you can find about 3 hours of silence between 3-6 am and that’s it I mean it. I pay $700 a month to have 3 other roomates and not be able to sleep. Whether it’s 2 pm or 2 am you can legitimately hear every single car that passes out your window or the loud slams and crashes going on next door. The owner needs to spend one night in any of apartments on the North side of the building or the ones that face kinnear rd because they are almost unlivable. I deeply regret my decision to live here everyday and each passing car reminds me why.

Second year living here and will renew again. Staff is extra helpful, package pickup is easy. The best part is the easy travel to bus routes and cheap parking. Very cozy place to live

Commons on kinnear is awesome. It’s close to everything: campus, restaurants, and Kroger. Friendly and helpful staff. Good price, good amenities and comfortable environment.

Every single night there is loud music blaring from the parking lots and the complex has zero security. Place has trash everywhere and is only getting worse by the day. I’ve seen cops and ambulances here so far. Wish I would have went elsewhere

The Commons on Kinnear is a perfect housing option for OSU students who love the OSU campus and everything that it has to offer, while enjoying the distance to avoid the busy campus life. My favorite amenity is the pool, it is always kept clean and the pool parties are always fun. Office staff is great! They are very knowledgeable and are willing to go the extra mile to provide excellent customer service for their residents! The value is excellent, they offer the lowest prices around, and their leases include utilities and furniture!

The worst apartment ever!!! Never wish their residents to live a happy and convenient life. The building and facilities are old and sometimes even disgusting inside. People from the leasing office are only friendly when they want to be. They seize the chance to get your money any time, any chance!! Even a goodbye cannot be peace. Never choose it as long as you have another choice!!!!!!

Gosh, if you have a choice, do not live here!You probably already read from many other reviews about the officers notorious attitude. That’s very true. And I will mention something worst than that.During Summer time they hardly ever clean dumpster, and it makes awful smell. It is poorly manage during regular season as well.Parking is always full, less than 20 are free. Downstair has many parties host by people till night, it created noise piercing second floor not to mention the first floor. You can hardly study or go to sleep during weekend.If you want to fix something urgent, you need to wait for a week or two at least in my experience. Considering they have only one or two maintenance staffs, and there are hundred of items to fix.Swimming pool only open from May to September, and then it is closed. Plus if you want to sublease your apartment it cost 500 dollar to do it.

This apartment complex is located in the best possible location, in my opinion. It is close enough to campus, while being a mile AT MOST away from every food and shopping option you can think of. The apartment itself is very clean, and the amnesties are great, too. The pool is just the best added bonus!

Ive lived here for four years now, as a student, and overall love it. There are community events like paint nights, food events, and game nights so you get to know others living at the complex and it really feels like home. Ive always felt safe living here and love the office staff and maintenance team, they are all super friendly.I would highly recommend this place to other students.

Had a pretty meh experience with this place, the staff is great but there are often inherited issues and problems with the apartments and the location itself. All my issues are politely handled in a reasonably quick fashion. Overall it is far from perfect but they listen to feedback and are continuing to improve.

If I could give a review of 0 stars I would. Read deep into the reviews. I promise they have a bad rating for a reason. In the last two months of living here my hot water tank has broken, pipes have froze causing maintenance to bring heaters into my bathroom and double my electric bill, the AC has broken, and our dryer is absolute garbage and does not dry anything unless ran twice. The gym has broken equipment that I have mentioned to maintenance multiple times for them to completely ignore and instead just bring in new mats to the gym as if that fixes everything else. A package was logged as my mothers name and when I went to the front desk they couldnt find the package. I was never sent an email explaining what happened so who knows what was mailed to me in my mothers name for me to never receive. Also, one day after awaking from a nap I went out into my living room to be greeted by my new roommate and her family. I was given 0 notice that someone was moving into my apartment and instead just awoke to strangers in my house.The best part to top it all off is that one of my roommates is a miserable human being and decided to report me to management for having my boyfriend staying, even though her boyfriend stays all the time as well. Management never asked to meet with me or hear my side of the story instead they just sent me notices that I was going to be fined. Even after telling them this was not the case and that he had his own residence and that I hadnt even stayed in my own apartment the last couple of nights they ignored me and wrote me another notice. The management wants to get involved in your problems with your roommates but not involved enough to find out what is actually going on. Instead they just believe whoever comes to speak to them first.I wouldnt recommend this place to my worst enemy. DO NOT LIVE HERE.

HORRIBLE INTERNETHave a big project due tonight, while internet was hardly working. Good job kinnear

I lived there for 3 years. They charged me about 310 dollars when I moved out! I cleaned up for almost a week. IT IS MUCH CLEANER THAN I MOVED IN! When I moved in they told me they will change my rooms carpet and dont leave anything on the ground. So i waited for a week and didnt put my stuff in my room. And I asked them when will they change. They told me it CANCELED! When I moved out they finally changed my rooms carpet...!🙄

I will be living here for the next year so I read carefully through the reviews. I noticed that lots of people complain about its high and unreasonable charge on move out cleaning fee.Half of them mention that they had cleaned the room before they moved out; but they are still being charge with a huge amount.Whats worse is that the management team doesnt give them a fair explanation or provide the bills of the composition for the charge....The complaints is mostly from international student...I hope it is not because the management team think they are FOREIGNERS SO THEY CAN BULLY them.NOT TO MENTION THAT UNFAIR TREATMENT TOWARDS A SPECIFIC GROUP(complainers are mostly asians) IS RACIST! I become really worry that I will end up in the same situation because I am also an international student .I hope the place will be better when I move in.And I want to ask for advice on how to protect my right if this unpleasant experience truly happens....

I love commons on kinnear. my roommates love socializing with other residents and have fun at gatherings. old roommate left bad review here but she lived very dirty. cant wait to see what is planned for upcoming year

The staff is friendly and caring, the facilities are clean, there are a lot of amenities, the environment feel safe, and the commute to campus is great.This is one of the greatest place to leave around OSU. Using medical center bus is the biggest advantage of leaving this apartment. Also I like all of staffs and maintenance team.

My girlfriend lived there, just recently moved out, we are shocked after finding out that commons on Kinnear scam you a large amount of money for cleaning the room after you move out, while there were old damages that existed before you moved in and never made an effort to fix during your residency, they charge you hundreds of dollars for it after your move-out. I wonder so many residents experiencing similiar situations at Kinnear as victims according google review, hasnt anyone sued them for scamming? I mean all those fees they charge are extremely high and none of those have a standard pricing on the original lease that residents signed. Is that even legal for them to just charge whatever they want from tenants? I plan to look into the paperwork and press charges to Kinnear about this issue, please feel free to contact me if anyone had similar experience as I did, they should not rip students off like that.

Lived here for two years and like it. Some noise problems occasionally and roommate issues (stay with someone you already know). Love Waffle Wednesdays, the gym, free printing, and location! I have not had to drive in this horrible snow because campus buses are so close. Safe area too

The Commons on Kinnear is a great apartment. Officers here are very friendly, Most importantly, there are school buses and the Kroger nearby. :)

I have enjoyed living at The Commons and appreciate the warm and inviting service I have received in the office from the leasing professional Danielle. She is very personable and seems to be incredibly knowledgeable in her position.

I was hesitant to move in to the Commons after seeing the negative reviews. I lived there for a year and had no problems. Maintenance was very quick at responding to requests. Rent was easy to pay and I never had an issue. Community programs were great, especially during finals week. Move in and move out was easy. We followed the move out cleaning instructions and didn’t get charged any additional fees when moving out. I never used the pool, but I know other people who liked it. The garage parking was great. Having the printer available was wonderful. During my time living there, there was OSU construction that made it difficult to get to the CABS line during the summer but that was not the Common’s fault. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because of the rent, but that’s to be expected near campus.

Community oriented, helpful staff, and conveniently located to stores, OSU, entertainment and much much more.

Easy place to live, fun staff, good amenities. Affordable for me and my friends. Will renew my lease

Love the Commons on Kinnear, great community. Furnished and very affordable. Having all utilities besides electricity is a real relief. Would recommend it to anyone.

Horrible do not live here. bugs. broken lock system and no way to get in if your key stops working after the leasing office closes. Broken appliances. Apartment was dirty and moldy when I moved in. gross

I would not recommend this apartment to anyone. The staff is very unprofessional and rude. I was given a very poor kept apartment that needed rennovations, a deep cleaning, and that needed multiple repairs before moving in. The apartment required multiple maintenance visits over the course of a year. The overall complex is not very clean and is not worth the amount of money you are paying. The gym, coffee machine, and the bus line are the only perks that come with living here. The basketball court on top of the garage is a hazard, due to missing tiles. The building is not secure at all, anyone could walk into the building at any time. The old management was not very good and now there is “new management” but not much has changed. Jessica, one of the managers in the office, does not have a good attitude towards the residents, is very snappy, and unprofessional. Overall this apartment complex is not worth the amount you will pay and I would consider other apartment complexes that are more affordable and are worth the money you will be paying. I regret my time here and wish I would’ve researched this terrible complex more before signing a lease here. Lesson well learned!

Do not waste your time or money here. When I moved in, my apartment was filthy and my roommates and I had to do a deep clean of the whole place. The management and staff are very rude and never are transparent about anything. Half of the time in the leasing office, no one knows whats going on. The move out process had to be the worst. Management came and did a walk through of our apartment and said we would have to clean baseboards and scrub these tiles that were already filthy when we moved in. They thin billed me extra money to my account for damages but did not provide an invoice or any documentation of what was damaged. The common areas and pool were always full of people who did not even live there and it was never monitored. There are plenty of apartments that are nicer than this one. For the amount you pay and the rude management, it is not worth it at all!

Management is terrible. Old management was better. Their communication is not that effective and their prices are not affordable for college students. Other than that....the events were semi cool

Hallways smell like drugs all the time. Charge a lot for small space

Kinnear commons is the worst place I ever stayed based on the experience with the management board there. The front desk staff are very good and friendly but the management board is the worst. Jessica Cudlin, the Assistant Executive Director, shouted at me to leave her office while I was negotiating a extremely unreasonable fine with her. I dont think a person who doesnt know how to build tenant relationship and how to have proper conversation with tenants can be at this position. The rental price is very cheap, but I would suggest you read the contract about the regulation carefully before signing your name to be a tenant here because according to Jessica Cudlin, Kinnear Commons can charge you fine anytime if you didnt have a clean living room and kitchen for new potential tenant to move in without any email notification that they are going to charge you a fine.

I don’t recommend signing the lease because even though the lease is to last a year, they won’t let you break the lease even during this COVID19 pandemic where I moved out earlier than the end of the lease.

They are always out of hot water for shower! They charge ridiculously high for cleaning fee when you move out! But we spend a week for cleaning and it looks almost like a new room. And its much cleaner than we move in! And they dont even tell you the reason! DONT LIVE HERE!!!!! You will regret it!

Dont let the outer appearance fool you. Yes, it is nice, however, that is it. The staff has thus far been unsuccessful with helping matters. They told my girlfriend a set price before signing her lease. Before moving in, she was told she had to pay more even after they acknowledged there own mistake. They are now trying to charge her fees for an electric account starting May 8th, when she couldnt move in / her lease didnt start until June 1st. This place is an absolute joke. Never judge a book by its cover. Yes, it is nice, but its NOT worth the hassle. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I would never in a million years recommend this facility to any OSU students. I think all the 1 star reviews should be enough of a deterrent.

Great place for students to love, will be recommending to my friends for next year.

Sure, the complex is aesthetically nice, on the outside. The rooms are nice as well. But after that, it goes downhill. When you deal with the horrible smells in the hallways that dont get addressed,, trash in the study room that is infested with knats (trash got emptied and the room was still infested), and nonchalant attitude of the office staff, you start to question why you moved here. Ive maybe dealt with 2 people that actually seemed to care about their job, in the office. If you have other options, consider them strongly.

Live here now and have been consistently screwed over since I signed my lease. This place is to far off campus to deal with the lousy staff. Ive had mail items lost, my lease was lost for a while, our dryer is so bad it takes 3 tries to get clothes somewhat dry, my bike as stolen right in front of a security camera and Im sure theyll screw me when I leave in July

Very friendly, although it sometimes takes maintenance a while to respond to service requests, understandably, as they are a little understaffed in that respect. Overall, satisfied (though I hesitate to give a highly satisfied rating). Will probably be staying next year as well.

Reasonable price. Not far from Campus

I couldnt ask for better service than the service I have received from the leasing professional Danielle. She was more than helpful and made me feel very welcomed at The Commons.

WORST apartment ever!the management charges everybody 400 usd on move-out date for clean up fee(yes, they need 1200 usd to clean up a 3 bedroom apartment).It happened to me and a lot of my friends who lived there. I would definitely recommend not to rent at this place unless you are desperate and dont have any other choices.

Live here for 2 years and for 1 and half years my ceiling was leaking. The carpet was dirty because of this the ceiling is horribly dirty every day which drove me crazy. I sent request hundreds of times and they promised me very well that they would take care of this. But I think that after I left this place the ceiling will be nice and finally got fixed.

Overall, living at the Commons as been a pretty positive experience. The only things I can really complain about is the wifi which goes out sometimes during times when a lot of people are using it which can be inconvenient and the noise from the cars, the construction, and occasional landscaping (I lived in an apartment facing the road). The noise however was not unbearable. The amenities are great and they always have something going on that you can easily get involved in which is great! The apartment is located close to the campus bus stop which makes it really convenient to get to class. I find that I actually walk less to get to class this year than in past years when I lived closer to campus. The free printing also comes in handy and my friends are always jealous when they come to visit and they see all of the cool things the commons has to offer.

Great Staff, Great Location, Good prices, would recommend to others.

My only complaint about this place is their Wifi is absolute trash. After about 9-10PM every single night it is almost intolerably slow if it is even working. They supposedly just did a new upgrade but honestly it is worse than before. I just use the 4G LTE on my phone because it is faster. Besides that the place is great to live in!

I dont really like it

Has mishandled mail thriceOld clogged pipesSolid staff

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Service is lousy and repairs are slow. Apartments are in poor condition, mold issues, etc..

I just got off the phone with Evan Morfey, Executive Director (property management) as I complaint about my sons lease there. My son had to move out early (2 weeks) due to a water leak and allergies associated with mold. He moved out at the end of June and was charged for another two weeks rent even though he no longer lived there. As he did not pay the two weeks left in the lease the property management sent him an eviction notice -- his bill was 19 days late. I spoke with Mr. Morfey to remedy the situation and offered to pay half of the lease due. Mr. Morfey insisted that the bill has to be paid in full so I did pay it. I hope my review will help you if you are considering leasing space in this area, especially if you or your family has allergies. The property management did not seem to care much about customer service -- please be aware!

I mean Im living here now and i have had virtually no problems. i think the people complaining are just a little stuck up in my opinion. the apartments are nice, mine was clean. there were a few issues with the ceiling fan in my roomates room i believe but it was fixed. its deff a lot better than some of these 100 year old house/duplexes that are falling apart at the seams. whats with the foreigner comment? so you just expect them to not let any foreigner live here? and also i guess the halls do smell weird sometimes. not because its dirty though. and there is not a high crime rate, whoever posted that is dumb. overall i love it. its far away from campus so i can focus if i need to on my school work, but close enough to go out on friday nights, just take the bus over no buggy. Im probably gonna live here next year too.

First off NEVER ALLOW THEM TO RENT YOU APARTMENT 1117 it is right behind the volleyball court and they refuse to put up a barricade between the walls/ windows. So when you are studying/ watching tv/ working/ or just trying to relax during the warm days the ball constantly slams into the walls. They said they would consider it but warned it “may obstruct your view. Yes the awesome view of the parking garage…. Next it rain extremely hard the other day and the entire apartment leaked from the rain. To fix the wet carpet they put fans in the rooms to dry it out, mine took three days and making my room and entire apartment smell like mildew. During this time I had to stay somewhere else, now to be fair the commons offered to pay some of the electric bill for the fans running 24/7 but refused to give me a discount on rent when I asked. The excuse was they cannot not be held responsible for “an act of god” they didn’t know it would flood. Well this was a lie told right to my face as it has happened before to a different apartment room they just don’t want to fix the problem. So if you do live here for whatever reason and your room does flood they should be held responsible as they know this is a problem but refuse to take care of it.This place is by no means worth the money per a room and the parking is extremely overpriced I mean come on $30 a month. Just by a C parking pass from OSU and park on the west campus lot be hind the apartment for $10 a month instead. Also the free coffee is only on during office hours so if you have an 8 class no coffee because the office is not open until 9. Another thing I was never told is people are allowed to smoke in the building so the hallways constantly smell like crap too. The beds they provide you with are extremely uncomfortable too I had to bring my own. And again to be fair the pool, hot tub, in apartment washer/ dryer, and gym are nice but this place is not even close to being worth the monthly rent. You’ll be ok living here for the first couple weeks then immediately regret the decision.

Good nice staff

Would never recommend students to stay here. Extremely over priced and they do not care about residence. As I am typing now it is 8 in the morning and for the past 4 week there is a jackhammer going for 12 hours a day. Hallways are always smelly and disgusting. My roommate and I had bed bugs as well. One of the maintenance guys told us they are very common here. please do not come!

I think its pretty good for OSU students

Nice place

There is one small street well I wouldnt Evan call it a street! Goimh around the apartment s And if someone​is coming fim the other way you have to back up because there is not enough space to go around

Love the team and the rooms are well designed.

The Good:- location, right next to OSU parking lot and bus routes, Kroger nearby and Lennox shopping center, few minutes away from 315- maintenance is very helpful and timely, the student office staff is pretty good too- fairly safe area- well-lit garage that isnt too expensiveThe Neutral:- mostly, if not exclusively, occupied by young OSU students. Lots of Chinese transfersThe Bad:- overpriced. You are paying for the location. If you are not a student, find somewhere else. Electric is expensive generally. Our rent went up over $100 a mo., per person, and they forced us to take a shorter lease because they wanted to revamp our unit from a 3 bed/2 bath to 4/2- units are cheaply built in probably every way imaginable. Walls are thin, as youd expect of a complex- internet is mediocre and you share bandwidth with the complexOverall, if you are a student looking for housing on west campus, you could do worse. But you could probably do better. Its what youd expect from a cheaply built complex in a higher demand area.

Scam a ridiculous amount of moving out fee and asked my lease guarantor for it when I refused to do so. Shouldnt have cleaned my bedroom. Dispute doesnt work as they barely replied the email with no detailed charging information.

I have paid a lot more for a lot less. The value you get for the rent cannot be compared to other apartments ive lived in during my time as an undergrad.

Would never recommend students to stay here. Extremely over priced and they do not care about residence also they are not helpful at all.
