I’ve been searching for apartments for what feels like AGES. I’m a transfer student from Oakland University and am not super familiar with the area and wanted to make sure I chose the perfect place to call home for my next 2 years. I toured with the Leasing Manager, Kaylie, and I knew right away that 25 East was the one…when you know, you know! I can’t say enough good things about this property. It has all of the amenities I could ever ask for, a small homey feel, and a staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. If you’re looking for housing, I would definitely recommend touring with 25 East!!!

I have lived here for a year and I love it! We have had a few minor issues with the apartment but the maintenance crew have been amazing! The staff are always really helpful and the wildlife outside of our apartment is something that I really love.

Overall, I have enjoyed my one-year residency at 25 East. There have been minor apartment maintenance issues over my stay (i.e toilet overflowing, coolant leak from AC), but the maintenance team has been incredible with responding quickly and with proper treatment. I would recommend 25 East to a friend.

All of the employees are very kind and personable. I also love how it’s a homey environment but still kept clean (like our pool for example). Also the rent $$ is so nice haha. Only complaint that the pool isn’t open later on the weekends!

I love living here. My apartment is my happy place, I love the amenities, the staff, and the trails! For the price, I truly think you can’t beat it. Renewed my lease so I’m living here next year too and I couldn’t be more happy!

I have lived at 25 East for 3 years, now going on my fourth this fall. I originally lived in a 2 bedroom apartment and LOVED IT. It was the perfect size for two first time renters. I even had my own private bathroom which was amazing after sharing a bathroom with my younger brother my whole life. I recently transferred to a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment so that I could live with a few more friends. The living space is HUGE. Some of my favorite things about the community are the resident events, friendly staff, and surrounding nature trails!

I love 25 east! I have been living here for 2 years and signed for a 3rd year now! Great staff and the apartments are affordable. Pool & fitness center are a plus too. Community events if you are interested. Never had any issues. Honestly, staff is really nice!

25 East instantly stood out to my roommate and I when we went apartment hunting a year ago, and we could not be happier that we decided to live here. The community is wonderful, the staff is dedicated, and our apartment itself is absolutely worth the price (which is one of the lowest we found in the area). We renewed to stay less than 4 months into our first lease term, and I can see us staying here for quite awhile!

My daughter has lived at 25 East for 3 years now and we have been satisfied with the apartments and response time for maintenance and service calls. My son has also lived at 25 East for 2 years now and overall his time there has been hassle free as well. We love that pets are allowed and that there is a walking trail on the property.

Good price for what you receive. Maintenance is by far the best I’ve had at any apartment (very quick and friendly). One of them even takes off his shoes when we ask! Leasing staff are helpful when they answer the phone. Amenities are great as well. Parking in Building 1 is not the best because everyone tends to park there from other buildings. Overall, happy to be living here.

I’ve enjoyed living at 25 East so much that I renewed my lease! I love the location and amenities, along with the walking trails behind the apartments being a great addition. My only suggestion would be to bring your own mattress. Although they’re professionally cleaned, student housing beds aren’t the comfiest. Katelyn and Steph are amazing office staff, always so helpful and nice!

I have only been living in 25 east apartments for about a few weeks now, and I feel like I am at home. I love the amazing amenities and welcoming staff.

It has been an incredible experience living here so far. Even when I was just a guest I was very excited to move in from everything that I personally experienced. Such a great community!

25 East is a wonderful place to live! The location is amazing and there is lots of wildlife and easy access to trails.. Maintenance is always prompt as well. I love living at 25 East.

The rooms and bathrooms have a bit of leftover grime and the occasional waft of weed is present but overall the experience is good. The community is friendly, theres a path behind the apartments that can take you north and south, and the rooms have a fair amount of space. When something goes wrong maintenance is regularly quick to come fix the issue. The internet is fast but occasionally goes out for a moment on my gaming console, other devices seem unaffected.

This is my first time living on my own and everyone is super friendly and helpful. the apartments are nice and have a homie atmosphere to them!

Me and my roommate had trouble getting things started here. The person who was originally in communication with us wasnt there any longer so we basically were ghosted for a few weeks. Every time we called during the business hours, no one would pick. I had an issue making my first payment through the online portal and the guys said, drop off a check. The entire point of having an online portal is so that we dont have to drive to the leasing office to drop off a check (this was before I moved in). After getting things situated, Katlyn was super awesome and helped us a ton! She stayed in communication with us and we were able to get things up a running finally!Once we did move in, our apartment was super dirty. I literally had to deep clean again. Before I moved in, we asked how they deep clean the apartment, and whoever they hired to clean the complex did a horrible job.Their maintenance team is awesome though. My roommate had an issue with her toilet and they kept coming in to figure out what the problem was and they did resolved the issue.There are a ton of spiders and insects so I hope they have pest control come through and get that cleared up. But this also could be because were near the trees.After about a week and a half of living here, its not bad. Just a rough start. Its quiet, and once you actually make this place home, it gets cozy.

25 East has been my home for a year and a half now and I could not be happier. This was my first apartment and I would not have wanted to live anywhere else. The staff was so friendly and they remembered my name every time I called. I recommend 25 East to all my friends and anyone I can who is looking for housing. The rent is the most affordable in the East Lansing area. I also love that the community is full of natural scenery versus being stacked in town. By far the best place in East Lansing.

I went to tour this apartment and signed my lease as soon as I got home. Everyone there was so welcoming and so nice. I 100% recommend for any MSU student or anyone looking for a nice and safe community to live in.

I’ve only lived here for a few months but i’ve loved it so far! the pool and gym are awesome and i’ve never met a friendlier staff!!

I would recommend 25 East to someone who is looking for cheap student housing. For the money you pay, it is perfectly satisfactory. All of the amenities are nice to have and it’s great to have walking trails so close by. There are some downsides. For example, the wifi completely shut down multiple times, which was a huge hassle with all classes being online. This seemed to get better over the course of my stay, though, so I’m not sure this would be a big issue in the coming years. Another thing is that the grounds can be pretty gross sometimes, with all of the geese from the nearby pond and all of the dog owners. The structure of the apartments themselves is honestly shoddy so I would expect to need to call maintenance a few times but again, for what you’re paying it’s expected. Overall, 25 East was a decent apartment complex to live in and it was great for the price.

Love living here! (: peaceful neighborhood

Toured this property with Katelyn and she completely sold me on living here! Loved everything about my tour with her... 15/10 would definitely recommend!

Quiet and affordable place to live. Maintenance is relatively fast to fix odds and ends and the staff is friendly and helpful.

OMG 25 east is the best apartments building in Michigan!!! Katelyn was the best. She would explain everything, the prices are perfect and the rooms are amazing. Definitely would come here again.Thank you Katelyn!!!!!

Update from 10 months ago review.If you looking for quiet, affordable, and love nature surround you. This is a great place to live in. In beginning of few months of my residence was little rocky especially with office management need to improve communication with residents whenever residents bring up a concerns. Maintenance guys are fast & hardworking, who would showed up to get the repairs fixed faster. You may feel frustrating with office management where you unable to call the office and the line always busy even lot of time I get a rude staffs over the phone. (Easier if you go in the office and there’s amazing front desk reps would drop everything & listen even giving you advice. I made a regret to think everyone is rude due over the phone convo but in reality they aren’t. They doUnderstand your even more they all are like same as our age). Roommate matching program is one of the awful experiences. They would put you with random people, who is not even have similar preferences of life style as you is hoping for. If you don’t like your new roomie, my advice: try at least spend time and hangout with new roommate which led into a amazing friendship! Ohh, I love nature. Trail walk, ponds and waking up every morning, you will see lot of wild animals! Pretty much all I can share on here!

Great place to live, staff is friendly and maintence request are done promptly!

25 East is an amazing place to live. My experience has so far (1.5+ years) been great here. No complaints yet, service requests were always attended on time. People in the leasing office are nice and treated me very well, especially Kylee Moreland who helped me and my friends to renew the lease. She was kind and patient to answer our questions quickly!

Honestly the best deal especially considering the location, i’ve been living here for two years now and i haven’t moved out because i still haven’t found a place worth enough to move. there are washing and drying machines inside each unit, other apartments i’ve seen have laundry rooms for the entire building or for the entire complex, there is central ac and heating which is awesome. other apartments around the area are not only more expensive but they don’t have these two features and they look hella beat down unlike the buildings/rooms at 25 east. the staff is friendly and actually helpful too so any maintenance or whatever issues are actually resolved and they try to engage within the community through social events they plan

Really friendly and helpful staff and overall great place to live. Looking forward to another year here! 😁

The best leasing staff!! Almost as good as the starburst baristas😉

When moving in to 25 East we were told that professional cleaners came in and cleaned before move in day. Walking in to our apartment you could tell that no one had been inside for weeks. it was extremely dirty. We spent days cleaning and our one drawer in the kitchen was filled with dirt and green powder. There was dried glue on the deck that looked like throw up. We also had bees on our balcony. One of our roommates was stung and so was our neighbor. we made a request for it to be sprayed and it took a week. they’ve sprayed once and they’re still there. we sprayed once ourselves and made one more request for them to be sprayed. they haven’t been back. it has been a week. We had one working shower. the diverter was stuck in one shower and wouldn’t pull up. the other shower had a stuck diverter that wouldn’t go down. Our AC was broken. it was extremely cold. when maintenance came they put a new cover on the thermostat. After that only hot air was coming out of the vents in our rooms. Once our requests were fulfilled its a very nice space to live.

I moved into 25 East less that a month ago and am overjoyed with the customer service and expertise of the staff. For the price, 25 East is hard to beat. Plus, during negotiations, a bus pass was included. I am pleased to say that the simplicity of obtaining that bus pass far exceeded my expectations and left a good first impression. This has given me a glimpse of the good-faith, transparent business practices that I enjoy. As for living at 25 East, every time I have needed a service repair, I have been visited within about 48 hours of submitting a request. Also, I love the community-oriented nature of their strategy. I like to meet new people and make new friends, which is encouraged with the events that the staff create. Finally, the ideal location is near grocery stores, soccer fields, and restaurants, yet it feels like you are completely outside of the city. I would highly recommend these apartments.

This place is DISGUSTING and VERY UNORGANIZED. If you want stink bugs as a roommate I suggest living here. They send notices of work but the dates are are always wrong/expect late next week. Most the staff has no clue what they are doing, didnt even know how to use the printer or simple general questions so expect for them to forward you to someone else who has no idea why you talking to them. Apparently if your roommate signs as is that applies to you even though its individual leases, they never came to clean my carpet even after asking for weeks. Did I mention the bugs? (Leaving pictures from the first day I moved in)

Im giving one star because I just realized the clever but deceitful way 25 East calculates rent. Before I explain, yes, this highlights the importance of reading the fine print. Yes, I should have more carefully read the fine print. Im writing this review so others can be informed. Also, Im writing this because Ive never seen any other apartment pull the trick they do!The lease term is not for a full year. The move in date is Aug 26 and the move out date is July 31. However, they charge you rent in 12 equal installments. In effect, this makes the rent look cheaper than it is. For example, suppose they charge you a base rent of $640 to be paid on the first of each month (starting in August). If you assumed that 25 East worked like any other apartment, then youd think your rent for each month of living there is $640. In reality, youre only paying for approximately 11.2 months of shelter. Thus, youd want to multiply the $640 by the 12 installments ($7680) then divide by 11.2 months. This comes to a little more than $685.TLDR: Because the way the lease works, your effective monthly rent is higher than it appears. For example, if your lease says a base rent of $640, in reality youd be paying a little over $685 for each month you live there.

DO NOT LIVE 25 EAST!I have put together a list of reasons on why you should be choosing a different apartment complex.1. We moved into an apartment that contained bed bugs. We are going on week 7 of having them. 25 East is not being helpful on getting rid of them. We did not receive brand new mattresses after the treatments. The “new” mattresses we got were from storage. My mattress had literal poop stains all over one side, and 25 East claimed “they were professionally cleaned.” Well obviously not.2. The front desk never solves the problems we have unless we have our parents call. They do not listen to what we THE TENANTS have to say, but decide to after a parent is brought into the situation.3. We moved in to a trashed room but were promised a “professionally cleaned apartment.” They claimed multiple times that our apartment was cleaned, but yet somehow didn’t catch that our dishwasher had standing water in it because it was broken from the last tenants, food in the cupboards, and the drains not being able to drain properly. Also if these apartments were professionally cleaned, they would have noticed the stains that were found on the walls and mattresses from the bedbugs.4. We also had a wasp problem of them coming into one of our bedrooms. We had to solve this problem by duct taping the window because it took maintenance 3-4 weeks to fix the problem after a request was made.I would rate this place 0 stars if I could.

My experience at 25East started out great and then turned into a nightmare. The ammenities are nice but the staff is unorganized. They do little to help. For example, I first discovered my bedroom walls were leaking and the seals were broken back in May. I put in a maintenace request and the problem still hasnt been fixed. Its to the point that there is mold along the bottom of walls and the carpet. Our washer and dryer works off and on. Our shelves collapsed and not to mention our AC/ heat went out. Its not worth the money honestly! If I am paying for rent and utilities, I expect to live in a livable space. They are not flexible with the rates.The most they actually did during the first stages of the pandemic was waive the tax fee in the resident portal.

Friendly staff and neighbors! The river trail is nice to bike and walk on. The app and texting service is convenient. The apartment is nice also!

Great room and roommate match! And the rooms have exactly what we need in them. And we can make them our own and everyone is friendly and helpful

The place is great to live at

Poor move in to dirty student apartments and buildings. Expected better. Drains clogged with hair and floor so dirty you can’t take your shoes off. Apartments in poor condition compared to model apartment. No social distancing with move in when most of building is moving in at same time and all are using stairways. Stairways haven’t been cleaned in a long time. Would not recommend.

I would not give a star if i had to, daughter moved in in august, ac was not working properly, heat works mediocore at best. service calls were put in, never repaired. provided a copy of renters insurance in august before moving in. getting $25.00 fines for not providing renters insurance, now wont let us pay rent for not paying the late fee, after talking to 3 different people there saying it was taken care of. lucas was one of them. and stephanie who hung up on me wouldnt let me talk to the manager, wich i left messages to and never called back on i would not recommend renting here

Great amenities, friendly staffs and plenty overload fur-friends! This is a great places for quiet, relaxing and stress-free tenant with affordable housing while don’t have to worry about living in wild neighborhood with traffics.

Although we have had to put in a few maintenance request, the staff has been very helpful . Our neighbors are really nice and respectful of each other.

First time moving into an apartment and of course it had to be this one. maintenance doesnt like their job so dont count on them to do it, front desk doesnt care about your living conditions, apartments have been broken into for failure to fix locks, and dominique at the front desk makes you feel like a burden for coming in with issues. this place was not a home to me. i never stayed here but paid for a whole year worth of rent. this complex is dirty and the hallways havent been vacuumed in decades. good luck to all who have already signed a lease here. get out while you can.

The main issue was the wifi and the internet service (and other things) which force me to go to 4 different stores to find a portable hotspot which cost me time and money. Anyway, I updated my review because it was improper regardless on the call that I got today.

All I’m going to say is; this is the worst place I’ve lived in and I do not recommend this place at all. Staff lost some of my packages and they tried to charge me extra multiple times. They’re a scam.

Katlyn and Jared was very helpful in my apartment search! I will definitely be moving here!!

Built very cheap. The screens do not fit the windows, bugs get in all the time. Walkways are not kept up on. Heat goes out every other day.

Honestly I love my apartment.It close to work and school.The staff is amazing and extremely helpful.The only thing I have had issues with in the past was the conditions of what the apartment look when I moved in, the carpet has a black stain,and the couch had a tear in it but the couch was fixed quickly. Otherwise great overall, love all the events that 25 offers!

Apartment came dirty but once we deep cleaned it, it is pretty nice

Great place to live price wise and has great office staff! Every time we need something fixed, the maintenance staff is super quick and helpful. A little far from campus for sure but with the bus stop up front it makes getting there easy. Pool and gym are pretty cool. The trails behind the property are an incredible amenity. Apartments themselves are cool and spacious too with great balconies! I’d live here again if it wasn’t for the distance to the MSU campus!

By far the worst place to experience if youre considering an apartment. I lived there and had many problems with the living condition. Front desk was happy to engage but the RESULTS were made. Horrible.

They Literally tried to scam me saying i signed a lease. i wasn’t interested and declined it. They said i had to find a new person to take over the lease, and pay a fee for no reason besides that they just wanted the money of me.

Ive lived here for 3 years now and I love it here. The best part about 25 East is how it feels like a community. Everyone is so kind and polite, and I feel so comfortable and safe living here. The bus route and super convenient. I get to my classes in like 10 minutes. I also decided to get a dog because a lot of people here have dogs lol and there are really long trails behind the property. I love living here!

I personally love living at 25 East. The apartments are incredibly nice (just remodeled and updated) and the pricing is very reasonable. The best part about living here has to be the staff though. They are always incredibly helpful and very friendly. Every time I go into the office they know me by name and ask me how life is going/etc. they seem to really care and want to do everything they can to make your living experience here a positive one. They also have a pool, gym, free printing and parking and nature trails right behind the complex. Very nice apartment complex and I would be signing again next year if I wasn’t graduating. Thanks 25 East!

The staff are great. Super friendly. If youre looking to live cheap and have a nice apartment, this is the route to go. They have a pool, lounge, and gym that are all very nice, though the gym is kind of small. We received all new amenities this year (2017) and had our floors totally redone. Overall, they arent the most luxurious apartments in the world, but they are affordable and I would highly recommend considering them.

If you want an apartment riddled with problems, then this is the place for you. I have had no air conditioner and no solution for the four months I have lived here. Not to mention when I moved in the apartment was DISGUSTING. They tried to tell me it was because I moved in early (which I paid for), but even people who moved in on time had problems, so that was a weak argument. Furthermore, there always seems to be a break down in communication. I have had to badger endlessly to get any sort of response, and every month there is a new issue it seems. I would never live here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. It should be relaxing to come home at night not an additional burden. I have contemplated breaking this lease on so many occasions.

Great community with plenty of amenities to offer and awesome staff that is always helpful!

I like living here. When you need anything to be fixed, I just sent it using the residents website and they reacted quickly to my problems. The bus is available everyday you have 2 choices of buses to go to the campus. The staffs also very helpful and nice. I rent for $415 a month.

In this area, Abbott Place is great place to live for the price. With all that is included it is definitely one of the better places to live in East Lansing for the price. The apartments are nice and offer privacy, also the amenities are good. The business center and pool are very nice, the gym is also nice but doesnt have have as much equipment as I would like. All of the staff is incredibly friendly and even though it is one of the farther complexes from Michigan States campus you can still get there within a five to ten minute drive. Id definitely recommend at least looking at what they have to offer. Ive lived here for over a year and I am honestly happy with Abbott Place.

Do not live here. I got stuck living here for 2 years and it was nothing but problems. They raised their prices after someone was literally murdered here last year. Months after moving out me and my roommates were never given our deposits and then charged lots of fees with only a weeks notice. Literally any other place is better than here.

25 East has been my home for the past 7 months or so and I couldnt be happier living here. Its close to campus and my job, the staff is excellent, maintenance is quick to fix any problems I may have, and all for a great price! Count me in for another year ;D

This is a very nice apartment complex. I definitely enjoyed how the various apartment were set up and the different facilities available.the amount of space each apartment was nice and made it seem less cramped then I would have expected. The people working there are super awesome and helpful. I think the coolest part is the trail that is behind the complex that is great for short walks and such. I would recommend 25 East to anyone looking for apartments near campus but far enough not to get all the noise that comes with it.

25East is a good deal for the price. Furnished, washer/dryer in unit, free printing, never had a problem with parking, small basic gym for free, and located in a decent location. The maintenance is not fast, however. Our window is still not fixed and we made a request 6 months ago. I would still recommend staying here, especially if you have 2 or 3 friends that you could room with.

This Staff here are disrespectful, pick favorites, over charge and send outstanding fees even during this pandemic, do not waste your money here this is the most unprofessional place ive ever been, if i could give zero stars i would, if i could get this place closed or reowned i would, DO NOT BE A VICTIM of this place!!!!!!

25 East is a wonderful property with some amazing staff members! I can’t stress enough how helpful Sophie has been, as she’s gone above and beyond what I would expect of an employee. Huge thank you to Sophie and the rest of 25 East for their amazing customer service!

I have lived here for almost two years already and I absolutely love it. The apartments are a great size, have new appliances, and good flooring. They are also an amazing price. The leasing office staff and maintenance staff are all very helpful and considerate.

Renewed for next year! It’s fully furnished and affordable! Amenities are included. The office staff are super friendly. The commute to campus isn’t as bad as it seems either, since bus passes are given to residents! Plus, they just renovated.

Cribs of east lansing

Had to pay a full months price for just a week of living here. Theres a $15 convenience fee for paying rent online, drastically raising rent over time unless you pay in person. Also my apartment was a little rough upon arrival. Worth its price though, I guess.

My friend is living here currently and I was looking into getting an apartment with her but after reading the reviews I’ve decided not to. The staff seems to be okay compared to where I’m living currently, however, it seems like every time I would call the office to hear about their new rate or special I would get different answers from different staff members. They are always promoting that the rate is only going to get higher but now they are offering a rate of $399 when a few months ago when I was initially looking to sign, it was a lot higher. There are also a few security issues I am concerned about after the shooting that happened at the complex. Now I know this has nothing to do with the new staff but as a potential renter I was a little nervous to hear this happen. The bus stop is also very far from some of the buildings and being a student, I would not want to walk that far in the winter months.

I’ve lived here for 3 years and I don’t regret it. Staff is amazing, events are fun, and it’s a great price! I recommend this to everyone.

This place is a great value for what you pay! Rent is pretty cheap and theres amenities like a 24 hour workout center, washer/dryer in the unit, furniture, dining tables, a pool, study lounge, etc. Theres also a bus stop right in front of the complex that takes you to campus, although walking to it in the frigid winter when you live in one of the farther buildings can be a bit difficult. The employees are extremely friendly and welcoming and seem happy to assist the residents, which is refreshing. Sometimes its a little drafty in the apartments in the colder months, the walls are pretty thin, and the distance from campus can be hard, but for the most part 25 East is a nice little community surrounded by beautiful nature. I would definitely recommend living there if you get the chance! :D

Love these apartments! The rate is really good for an apt that comes fully furnished, plus the bus pass makes up for the fact that it is a little farther out from campus. The staff are also really nice and helpful when it comes to any maintenance issues.

I regret living here. I shouldve listened to the previous reviews but I was too ignorant and believed that maybe since there was new management that the apartment experience would be better. I was wrong. I understand this apartment is significantly cheaper than most apartments here in East Lansing and I shouldnt expect a 5-star hotel-like interior. My negative rating for this place is solely for management and the office staff. You are told one thing by the manager or the other office staff members but no actions are ever taken on that promise. I had concrete mix dripping from the fan in my bathroom. The concrete began to harden and a big puddle of concrete was on the floor of the bathroom and it was growing. I called the office and the manager told me she will have maintenance come and fix it ASAP. 3 HOURS LATER, a maintenance staff comes, but not for the concrete, but to fix our refrigerator. So I pointed out the concrete to the maintenance staff member and he told me he was never told about this incident. He later brought in the head of the maintenance staff to come and fix it and to find the cause of the problem. He was also never alerted about this incident. I dont mind that there was concrete, they were replacing the flooring above me so mistakes happen and I understand that. I also understand if maintenance was too busy to come to my apartment due to other priorities. But to have the manager tell me she will alert maintenance ASAP then to have maintenance (I want to note that the maintenance staff is incredible and extremely helpful, its unfortunate they work under such atrocious management) come 3 hours later for a separate task and tell me they heard nothing about this, that is unacceptable and truly unprofessional by the manager. What if maintenance didnt show up to fix the refrigerator? Would my entire bathroom be flooded with concrete? This is just a fraction of the many negative experiences that I had to deal with. I could sit here and write an entire book on how terrible this apartment complex is. AND IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THIS WHOLE THING, THEN PLEASE READ THIS: DONT LIVE HERE, I DONT CARE HOW CHEAP IT IS, YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL BE TERRIBLE.

The staff is amazing! Overall great experience living in 25 east, it’s an bang for your buck. Highly recommended!Fully furnished and recently remodeled!!

Maintenance staff and housing is great! Admin and office staff are horrible, particularly at record keeping. Do not expect to receive ANY deposits back, regardless of your situation. Would NOT recommend to anyone unless looking for a friend in maintenance. Plenty of places nearby that uphold commitments.

Very unorganized and unreliable office staff. You are told one thing and something else completely different happens. It seems the general managers patience are wearing thin and does not work to provide the highest quality of service to the residents. Maintenance staff is out of this world good, but people in the manager positions are bringing this place all the way down to a one star. Needs to be fixed in order to attract new residents with the growing competition in the East Lansing area.

I signed at 25 East when it was still Abbot Place, not knowing that they would be getting new management. With that being said, I am grateful for the staff, as they are all kind and helpful. Moving in was a bit rough, as the units were undergoing numerous renovations, however, it was worth the wait. My roommates and I love our new appliances and floors. The upgrades, friendly staff, and great price are what sold us on resigning again! It is evident that 25 East wants to please its residents.

Demarco S. was very helpful with accommodating everything I need. He is a very nice employee that made my day much better when I left. He helped me solve my problems very fast and efficiently and I’m really glad he was hired and ready to help me the way he did. Thank you very much 25 east and a very special thank you to Demarco specifically.

Living here has been pretty awesome! The apartments are nice and the community is really cool! LOVE LOVE LOVE Dominique, she’s amazing!

25 East is pretty hit or miss. I’ve had some really good interactions with maintenance workers and office staff. I’ve also had some not so great experiences. The printer was broken for 2 weeks not too long ago and if the office was closed you were unable to print. Over all I feel if you keep in close contact with management/office workers (I contact them probably twice a week for something) it is a fairly nice place to live.

25 East is an awesome place to live. Its my first year living off campus and I have already signed again to live here next year! Its affordable, furnished, has awesome amenities, and the staff is always super friendly. The Gym is open 24 hours and the apartments are the perfect size for my roommates and I! Also, everything has been renovated this year so everything is new and nice.The only drawback is how far from campus it is, but that isnt even a problem because they provide bus passes for all residents. the 26 comes every 7-10 minutes and takes you to the bus station. The 25 comes every 30 minutes and takes you to places like Brody, Wells, and Comm Arts. It never takes me more than 15 minutes on the bus to get to campus.I couldnt recommend this place more!

Not a bad place to live at all! For the price, you really cant beat it. So far Ive had a pretty good experience! The staff is also really nice!

Although there was a lot of construction earlier in the year, it allowed for all new appliances and floors. The staff are super friendly and always available to help when needed. Being pet friendly is a huge plus! The affordable prices and friendly atmosphere make this a great place to live.

Spacious rooms and good amenities. farther from campus but free bus pass helps. Not enough parking for all the cars. Safety could be much improved and lighting around parking lots.

Friendly staff and the apartments look nice. I had a friend that lived here before the renovations and it looks way better now. Management is nice and the price is reasonable. Only downfall is the distance to campus, especially if you dont like to ride the CATA.

My roommate and I loved this place! Awesome amenities and super friendly staff. Everything is in good/new condition and the two bedroom apartments are not that small at all (as a previous poster commented). I added a desk and a dresser to my room and it was just fine. Overall very satisfied.

Ive had a great experience here. The staff is very friendly, and the apartments are top notch for the pricing. The amenities accommodated with such pricing are also top notch, and living here is exceptional. Also a very beautiful surrounding area.

This is my second year here and I love living here! My home away from home!

I just signed a lease here and moved in and while I was excited to move in and start the new year, it quickly became clear that deciding to live here was a huge mistake. My apartment was NOT in move condition. The window screen was broken, the tub was clogged with water that had been sitting in it for months with dozens of dead bugs, the shower did not work, the carpet was stained, sticky, and dirty, there were dead and live stink bugs littered throughout the apartment, and the AC was not working. Despite many requests to get these problems fixed, nothing was ever done. When asked to speak to a manager, my mother and I were told she was too busy to come out and talk to us when we could see her just sitting at her desk with the door open. Eventually, two boys in the leasing office, who were NOT in maintenance, had to come and unclog my tub because maintenance could not make it out to help. Fast forward two weeks later and the only thing that has been done is the carpet, but its still a bit sticky and I had to buy cleaner to scrub it myself. My dad had to drive all the way out to fix my window screen. For two weeks, in 80+ degree weather I had to sit in my bathtub with a cup to wash my hair. To make things even worse, my roommate had moved in at the beginning of the month and told the staff about all the problems yet they still did nothing to make sure our apartment was in move in condition. I was charged rent for one week when my apartment was not even in move in condition! It took countless calls by my parents and multiple visits to the office before the staff finally bothered to fix things when the solutions took only a few minutes. Then on the first, I checked my rent and nothing was due. No upcoming was due either, so I thought the rent I paid for one week covered the month. 8 days later, I get an email saying rent is due with a huge late fee when the rent due did not even show up on September 1st. So basically I paid an entire months worth of rent for one week for an apartment that was not even in move-in condition. I go to look for my lease in the portal, because I was not given a paper one, and under leasing documents in the resident portal, it says none. When touring, I was told the stairways and hallways would be renovated and brand new when I moved in and that the apartments would look just like the model apartment. I was also promised a gift card when I moved in. However, none of these things are true. The halls and stairs are still old and covered with cobwebs, stains, and insects, I never received a gift card, and the apartment I moved in to was nothing at all like the model. I feel I was lied to just to get me to sign with them. Honestly, living here for just a few weeks has been horrendous filled with one negative experience after the next. The only redeeming quality about this place are the students who work in the leasing office who are friendly and try their best to help, when really there is not much they can do. Do not rent here, you will regret it immediately!

Ignore old reviews before mid 2017. New management made a ton of improvements and it nowhere near what it used to be. New internet, appliances, flooring and management. Maintenance is great and grounds are well kept. Highly recommend

Probably the best you can get for the amount of rent paid. I live in a two bedroom apartment with one roommate, and I have more space than I know what to do with right now. The facilities are kept clean, and the maintenance staff is very good at fixing problems. The housing staff is excellent, very organized and accommodating. Its a lot farther from campus, which can be a good thing and a bad thing at times. Overall, very positive.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Apartments and amenities are nice after the new renovations. Great price for four bedroom!

My friend Jiayi Luo lived here. The leasing office is not reliable! THEY OWN MY FRIEND $381.28 remaining balance and don’t give it to my friend!!! Below is the real experience from my friend.I’m the previous residence of Room 3027. The staffs are nice to me but not useful at all. I’m an international student, so this summer I keep the extra amount money on my account. Before I pay, the assistant told me it’s easy to get the refund. I can just go straight to office get the check or Cash. But right now they told me it must be mailed. I understand the company rules, but it’s already more than three months. For these thing, I went to office about eight times.Each time I don’t get the answer about how long I will receive the money. Even I cannot get the tracking number of the check. November 13, I called the office again, one of the assistant Steven told me it’s resend and I will receive it no longer three weeks. But I still didn’t get it. I don’t know why it’s that hard to get my money back. Also, when I email them, is hard to get them reply. I don’t know if this because I’m a Chinese? I ‘m prepared find a lawyer to help me dealing with it.

Pretty good price for the location and the size of the apartment. Little rough looking when I first moved in but managed to make it work. Has all the amenities I was looking for when finding an apartment. Friendly staff as well.

There should be a 0 star scale for such an apartment. They unrealistically and dishonestly provided us with fake deals. Stay away or go to a motel for good. Abbott Place cant be trusted. FYI, their name will be switched to 25 East soon.

I like it so far. Solid staff and fairly efficient. Nice and cheap considering the new stove, microwave, and dishwasher.

I love living here! People are so nice and location is perfectly close enough to campus where it’s easy access to classes and Grand River, but far enough where I feel Ike I can study quietly on the weekends!
