My sister and I stayed here the semester that COVID all started and classes went online. Honestly, hated this place.Pros:- Nice roommates- Close to campus- Decent PricingCons:- Parking is a NIGHTMARE. They are tight and our car got hit like 3 times and no one ever confessed to hitting it. Plus they do not plow it during winter so you have to drive through 3 feet of snow.- No washer and dryers in apartments- No AC- Ward was antisocial and Bishop was so RUDE. Whenever we left to visit home, the Bishop would tell us we were in the wrong and had to attend our ward every week.- The apartments are small and dirty.- There were nails and hair all over the carpet.- Bathrooms are literally right next to each other which is weird.We had paid for both Winter and Spring semester when COVID hit. I contacted the management and explained that due to personal and family high-risk chronic disease, I could not medically live there for spring semester but would finish paying for the winter semester. They IGNORED my calls, messages, and emails. When they finally responded they said they could not do a refund and I would have to pay in FULL for the spring semester. I had to go through the schools housing department to get out of the lease.I would not advise anyone to stay here. My sister and I both hated it.

Ive lived at Somerset for the last 3 semesters and I love it!! The management is super nice and respond fast to any questions. The other residents are super friendly, and the location is perfect! Somerset is as close and central as you can get without being directly on campus. Were right across the street!! The rent price is great too.

Very social. Fun environment. No air conditioning, and small as well as outdated. Still loved living here because of the location to campus and how private the gym is.

If your looking for a fun social atmosphere you’ve come to the right place! Although the living arrangements are not the best the people are amazing. 👌🏻

Somerset and Rexburg housing has great managers! This complex is close to campus which is great. They are always having fun activities going on. The manager Hannah is super sweet and so helpful.

Im enjoying this apartment. Right across the street from campus. Very simple, and very liveable.

Manager is great, I needed to move rooms and she did it quickly without any hassle.

This place is one of the best complexes that is part of the Rexburg housing complexes. Can’t beat the deals or the management! Any complaints is from people who don’t understand how contracts work

WORST WORST APARTMENT EVER. All the good reviews about management and the landlord are about the old landlord, that I enjoyed. The new one is TERRIBLE. After multiple interactions with her I have never met anyone more rude and disrespectful. The apartments are old grimy gross and look NOTHING like photos online. Sinks dont drain, paths wet and freeze, dirty roommates.

I moved into my apartment at the beginning of the semester to find it completely filthy and in disrepair. The carpets were soiled, the tub and toilet black, the kitchen filthy, the fridges unclean, the bed frame covered in dust, the blinds broken, the bathroom drawer broken, and the stench of the apartment which was nearly unbearable. I notified my manager during the first day there of these issues and only the blinds and bathroom drawer were fixed.I understand these are the cheap apartments, but paying $1,800/month for this unit means me and my roommates expected better from them. I expected things to be at least clean and for them to keep it in good repair.For heaven sakes, the loose roof shingles from their roof are still hanging in the trees.I dont recommend living here. It might be cheap, but they are still robbing the students blind.Edit -When I lived there, I got to go look at the model unit next door to my apartment with my roommates. I was impressed how nice it was--new fixtures, carpet, beds, fridges, couches, etc.... The unit they show is in pristine condition and so their pictures are misleading. Ive attached photos of the condition of the apartment when I moved in. Notice the shower and the carpet. Im one to go barefoot in my home but here I could not with how grimy the carpet and shower were. And again, the only things addressed were the blinds and the drawer.

I have lived at Somerset for 2 semesters now and I LOVE it! Management is SUPER friendly and knows their tenants personally. Maintenance is really good about fixing issues promptly. The apartments are enough, dont expect the best modern apartment... but it is a very home-like environment. I love the 89th ward. Everyone here is friendly. The location is GREAT and close to campus.

I lived there for 2 semesters and the first was okay. With the price, you would expect a decent apartment to find so many issues there. The parking lot is in okay condition if it is not the winter, with the snow and ice it is a nightmare. Then with how rude the management was with the Corona virus, I was not happy to live there for my second semester. I will not recommend any of Rexburg Housing to anyone. The only nice thing about this place is how close to campus it is.

I enjoy living here, the social environment is great and the management is very friendly.

So heres the deal, I like living here and they got a maintenance guy who actually does things. The carpet in one of the rooms has smelled like cat pee since Ive lived here, about 4 semesters. according to old roommates it also smelled that way before I lived here. One of the ladies who does clean check has been telling them they needed to replace the carpet and pad for a long time and it wasnt until we hounded them that anything got done about it. The complex manager doesnt have any power over rent or laundry etc. Its the company that owns the complex. We have to use an app to do laundry and only get a certain number of credits. Most of the time its not enough for me and I have to spend out of my own pocket to do laundry my last couple of weeks even though the website professes to include laundry. I lived somewhere that was almost 400$ cheaper and we never had to worry about an app or spending money besides what we paid for rent to do laundry. There also isnt a ton of storage space in the apartments, mostly in the bedrooms. There arent shelves above the beds like a lot of other places have so you have to get creative with where you put things. The same goes for kitchen stuff, you have to get kind of creative. The mattresses are really hard and I had to buy something extra to make the mattress a little softer and a nice pillow to help my neck and back. For some reason not all the doors have deadbolts either, I had to request one to get one on our door. There isnt any air-conditioning either. We have Roku and a gym and stuff, but I would rather have the apartments be a little nicer than pay for that extra stuff.Thats the stuff I dont like, but there are also some good things. The people are really friendly and the wards are awesome! The complex manager is very nice and is willing to work with you and theres always candy in the office. Maintenance is prompt and gets the job done well when you put a request in. We have two fridges, lots of space for toiletries, a nice sized living room closet for extra storage, and its nice to have some trees and grass close where you can go chill under when the weather is nice. I stay cause I really love my Bishop Brick, which matters a lot to me.It really depends on what your looking for in a complex and maybe by the time you live here some of that will change, who knows.

I have lived here in the past, but moving in this semester, the apartments looked and felt like they were not properly cleaned. I was disappointed by that. Overall these are fun, social apartments, but the lack of cleaning was noticable.

Management needs to reform some of the processes of dealing with situations. I feel that less money needs to go into marketing and instead into fixing some of the problems in the apartments. BTW ask for an overflow parking pass it’s a lot better.

If I could rate this less I would. This is the worst place I have ever encountered. The staff is horrible and unchristlike. Because of them one of my friends left the Church. Horrible. The apartment also sucks. I’m sure it is similar to hell or prison.

If you wanted out of your contract due to COVID-19 you have to pay at least 60% of it (over $600!) but dont worry, you can also defer your contract and only pay 30% (over $300!!!). This place is decent when theres no issues, but dont expect them to be understanding of students situations in any way. You definitely dont get what you pay for.

Our apartment was clean, but not cleaned thoroughly. After reporting this to the management they were really accommodating and got it recleaned free of charge.

I have lived here for 3 semester and I absolutely hate this place. The carpet has nails that sitck up out of the floor, is incredibly dusty because the vaccuums dont work and the carpet has waves in it. I had to fold a portion of the carpet over so my desk would sit flat.The washers and dryers that we have to go to are always broken. It is because they never clean out the air vents to the outside (not the lint catchers, but the exhaust pipe).On MOVE IN DAY they were doing CONSTRUCTION on the STAIRS! We were not allowed to go up a particular flight and I had to walk all the way down and back just to bring in all my stuff.They didnt let students out of their spring contract but gave them an option to spend nearly $500 to transfer it to another semester even though they were in violation of the contract.Right now they are doing construction on the parking lot. They start at 7 every morning with dumptrucks and backhoes tearing it up. We are all cranky and tired of waking up to this every morning. This is incrediblly distracting when trying to do online classes because you cant hear.They refused to admit Covid was a thing several months ago but made us sign wavier forms before this semester. All they want is money and they dont care about their residents at all. They crammed us clear full with 6 to an apartment and my roommate has covid.The fridge leaks, the bathroom has mold, there is no AC and only one desk per room.Somerset, Rexburg Housing, and Redstone Residental should be ashamed of the service that they are providing for students.

I used to love living here, and I think the ward and people here are great. The main reason I am rating this a 2 star is because they changed how laundry worked. Its listed online as being in unit laundry, but that was never a thing and didnt bug me to much to have to walk to them. The biggest problem I have is that we now get limited free uses and then have to pay. The washers and dryers are not very good and wash on wrong tempatures all the time, and even use up your credits without starting, so you end up losing money and they wont do anything to replace it. As far as Im aware, they dont even own the machines, so for all intent and purpose we are using a laundry mat and they list it as coming with the contract when really it doesnt. I would have given it a 5 star in the past, but I find this unacceptable what they are doing. I believe it is dishonest of them.

From my experience, I have loved living here! This place just seams to attract good down to earth people which was what I was looking for. The wards here are amazing and the management is very kind.Honestly, if you are looking for a good environment with kind social people, then this is the place to be.As for the apartments themselves, they are do not have the most modern looking appliances but to me it makes it feel more homely and less like a hotel. We have had some problems but management quickly fixed them. I love it here!

The managers have always been respectful and helpful. They are concerned with the grounds being kept well and are improving the apartments and starting renovations soon. The womens side looks great.I have lived on both sides of campus, and I noticed a great difference in this side of campus; the people are much more warm and kind. Aside from it being a great location, it has the right people, and that is important to me. I plan on returning from my off-track for my fourth semester here at Somerset.There is a lot I can say about this complex, but the most helpful comment that I can give to potential residents about Somerset is that it feels like a home for me. I doubt that it will be any different for you.One thing that I would love to be improved is the dishwashers. They seem to leave a lot of the cups unrinsed.I also hold price of contracts as my most important decision in choosing my housing. I would prefer not to have any renovations done to Somerset because I like it just fine this way, and renovations typically mean higher prices.From what I have experienced so far, though,, Somerset has been my favorite housing complex.

Before I chose Somerset, I toured many local apartments while asking various people of their opinions pertaining housing. I was guided multiple times to Somerset because of its reputation of keeping the Honor Code and social environment. While touring the womens side, I was highly impressed with management, the cleanliness, and the high social interactions. The womens side has been remodeled to make it feel like home. I couldnt be any more pleased with the experience! I definitely recommend Somerset.

I love love the people here! The ward is incredible. Only complaints is that there is no AC and the paint and cabinets arent the best but usable and not the worst. So overall i love it here. Been here for 3 going on 4 semesters and have had a wonderful experience each time.

These apartments are amazing!!! The first day I moved in the apartment was clean. The manager was helpful and answered all my questions. She is kind and helpful, very easy to work with.Another great thing about somerset is that clean checks are every other week and not every week. Also when something was broken staff came over to fix it that day. And the location is perfect! I love this place.

The apartment was not clean when we moved in, there was grime on the countertops, the carpet mega needed vacuming, the showers were not well scrubbed. I looked like there was no deep cleaning that happened between semesters.

Somerset is a great atmosphere with really friendly people. The manager there is awesome and he and his wife work really hard to give the residents the best experience that they can! The womens side is newly redone and they are nice for the price that you pay. Its close to campus which is really nice and the ward is awesome! The girls and guys are in the same ward so you become really close with everyone in the complex. Over all just a really great place!

Super social atmosphere. Everyone is kind. Location is super convenient, right across from campus.

Worst apartment in all of Rexburg. The management does not take care of the premises as all the sidewalks are constantly flooded and maintenance orders take more than 3 days to fulfill. When another individual had serious problems with the roommates the manager refused to do anything until we got the boss of Rexburg housing involved. The parking lot is ridiculous and is barley maintained. People say that Sommerset has the best social life, but the whole semester it was people straight up being rude and refusing help. Literally the worst apartment experience Ive ever had.

I have lived here at somerset for almost 5 semester and so far it is one of the best apartment complexes on campus. To me, it is a representation of what a home is because I have great roommates and it has all the amenities needed to make living here comfortable at an affordable price. We have great wards and my neighbors are super friendly. We have great management. I feel safe living here.

The atmosphere was safe and comfortable, the furniture and appliances were in tip-top shape, the rooms were clean, and the people (especially my roommates!) were incredible. The lobby was nice and offered several different activities. The apartments were smaller, but not confining and definitely roomy enough to be comfortable. The location is perfect for BYU-Idaho students. The managers are understanding and willing to work with you as different needs arise. I loved staying there!

Honestly, the people make the complex! The location is super close to campus which is helpful. Overall, I have loved living up here for the social and chill environment. The apartments are pretty rundown with no AC or washers and dryers in each room however which is why I dont put 5 stars, but if you are looking for a friendly complex this is the way to go.

Very poor experience with this apartment complex. Changed the contract end date on us (we didn’t read the fine print) and now we are stuck with the bill for a full semester while we do not benefit from the services.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPLEX

This place has the potential to be a great complex. The social environment is great and the wards are awesome but Rexburg Housing totally screws over the complex by not providing high quality materials so things are constantly needing to be repaired or replaced. This place was just remodeled last year but you wouldnt know it.

The best thing about Somerset is the people. Its really friendly and social. Once I moved in, I signed another contract to stay for Winter and Spring semester since I liked my roommates so much. I wish I didnt, because the living conditions are actually quite poor. Its redeeming quality is that its right across the street from campus.

I think Somerset is a great apartment for the price paid. It has lots of room and two fridges in every apartment. Repairs are quick, usually the next day or two once reported and it has a great atmosphere. It is an older apartment so some of the things are in need of renovating, basically all of the guys apartments as they have just renovated all the womens housing. It is right next to campus which makes getting to classes great!

Great place to live that is close to campus! The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because the parking spots are tiny and the laundry room is always crowded. But its a nice place to live with good sized apartments. They are clean and well kept. The manager is really nice too :)

Very affordable housing right next to housing. The buildings are quite a bit older but the remodels are pretty good. Haven’t had much problem getting response on our maintenance requests either.

I lived in these apartments for almost 3 years! they are right next to campus and are fairly cheap. The Manager is cool, he is very friendly and willing to come talk to you and is always trying to be helpful. Although some of the apartments are run down a bit, they are always willing to help with anything you need and maintenance is pretty quick to act. Over all, I loved these apartments and highly recommend them.

The managers were friendly and helpful and the location is great. There were a few issues with check in at Somerset. One- the wait to actually check in was ridiculous. There should be assigned times or more management or something. No one should have to stand in line 45min- 1 hr to check in. Also, the kitchen shelves in the apartment were NOT clean. We had to wipe them all out before dishes could be put away and one of the showers didnt drain properly. These seem like things to be taken care of BEFORE move in. The parking lot is a nightmare.

Ive stayed at Somerset for about 7 semesters now. Somerset is just across the street from campus, the Austin specifically, so a good number of my roommates have been engineering majors of one sort or another. Every once in awhile things will start acting funny, weve had a goofy refrigerator this semester, but Thomas, the manager, is always really easy to reach and the maintenance guys are responsive and great at their jobs. All in all, I have no regrets over staying at Somerset. The location, employees, and community made Somerset a fantastic choice for anyone.

I absolutely love Somerset! I never thought I would stay in one complex so long, but here we are! This is my 6th semester here and it’s great — the people are amazing, the management is really friendly, and the atmosphere is so home-y! It may seem a little overpriced for the apartment itself, but the experiences you have here and the people you meet make it worth it!

On a scale of 1-10, Id give Somerset an 11. Theres a down to earth feeling here. The apartment culture is just great. Its like a big, diverse family. Its affordable, really close to campus and has everything you need in a place to live!

Great people in the complex. Awes0me and attentive manager

I spent there Fall semester 2015. It was amazing! The manager was always willing to help and would keep us informed with updates by email every week. The apartments are really confortable and clean. Theyre really close to campus and they werent too expensive either. It was really worth staying there!

I really enjoy living in Somerset. The management is great and very responsive. One of the best things about the apartments that I always hear others get jealous of is that we have two refrigerators. Its not especially large or fancy, but the kitchens size is good and theres nothing weird or wrong or easy to dislike about the apartments. Plus, the neighbors have always been fun while Ive been there (especially since they added the girls dorms).

Somerset is a great place to live! The location, price, management are all great! The managers are always willing to help in any way that they can, are really good at getting back to you, and great at listening to what you have to say. The people here are what makes this a Home Away from Home.

Somerset is the bomb!! The manager is awesome! Very helpful and super kind. There are a lot of awesome people here that make the atmosphere very friendly and inviting.

Ive lived here for two semesters now, and Ive really enjoyed it. The people (staff and residents) are easy to get along with, the 89th Ward is great, its relatively affordable, and the location in relation to campus is second to none. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars are the facts that there is no air conditioning, just heating, and the apartments are a little outdated. That being said, its easy to feel like you are at home here. Its a good place for a college student to live.

Somerset is a great apartment complex for those students wanting to live close to campus without having to pay overpriced rent. I have had a good experience with the community too. Facilities are decently good and working. The current manager is very good at attending to needs as long as he knows what is going on. Submitting in work requests any other way not through the manager dont work to well.

Where to begin?Good things:Close to campusThere are some good people living here, but not alwaysBad Things:Priced WAY too high. I have lived at brand new complexes for less than it cost me here. This place is old and nasty the only reason they can charge as much as they do is because of their location.Parking Lot sucks, too many stalls cramped into a tiny space.Apartments are very smelly.Appliances break often.I recommend just staying away from the showers. The bathrooms in every apartment I have been in are covered in mold and mildew.Want to leave a day early? They charge extra and say that every other BYU-I approved housing does it. Ive lived at six other complexes and left early, never once got charged extra money for wanting to live at a place less time.Rooms are incredibly small, theres a lot of great places around Rexburg that are cheaper and have bigger rooms. I highly recommend looking at other locations before choosing Somerset. Save yourself some time and money by choosing a different location.

I lived in Somerset a few years ago and loved it. I have a few friends living there now, and theyve enjoyed it as well. Its a good location, close to almost everything on campus, and had good management.

If youre looking for a hecka nice apartment youre looking at the wrong complex but if youre looking for an awesome atmosphere and great people youve struck gold.

This is an awesome place to live, its cheap, and the management is really nice. Its also close to pretty much everything on campus and it has great benefits, like hair cuts and discounts! I loved living here!

Easiest white glove ever. You set an appointment with the cleaners and as long as you put in an honest effort, they tell you what you missed and even provide the cleaning materials youll need to clean it. Super easy, got whole deposit back!

I love the warm and welcoming environment that Somerset has. The girls apartments have recently been renovated and they look and feel spectacular! The manager,Thomas, is one of the best I have had. He is super friendly and gets to know you by name. I love the activities rexburg housing provides, as well as all of the amenities they have to offer. Plus, we have two refrigerators which is a huge bonus for a girls apartment. There is no searching for quarters to do your laundry, a free laundry card is included. Also, the price is great!

Ive lived at places that are more high quality than Somerset, but I can honestly say Im much happier here. The manager, Thomas, is so friendly and always answers any questions I have in a timely manner - normally the same day, if not only an hour or so later.I have a few issues with Rexburg Housing in general, but seeing as I just signed contracts to live at Somerset for my last three semesters, they are obviously not a big enough deal to keep me from living here. I LOVE the fact that there are two refrigerators in the apartments, it just makes things in the kitchen a lot easier.I guess all in all, my experience here has been great!

Somerset Apartment Complex itself is amazing. I have only good things to say about both the manager (Marie), and the rest of the staff, particularly the maintenance guy. They will always go out of their way to help you here. They all have worked with me personally and helped me feel like they were in the business to help others, not to make money.Close to campus, etc. I plan on staying here until I either get married or find a place closer to my Fiance if I can ever manage to get one ;-).-David

Slow to non existent maintenance. When moving in the apartment was in shambles. Also we went almost an entire month without hot water. All we were asked to do is to coordinate schedules with our roommates plus two other apartments above us. Thats 18 students on one water heater to coordinate with what a joke. Finally after filing a complaint and talking about going into arbitration with the school RH started working with us. We sought what we thought was fair and were only given $100 back. If I personally had not been graduating I would have taken the matter into arbitration with the school.As others have mentioned they take, take, and take but are not willing to really work to improve customer satisfaction. They know that students have to live in approved housing and that students will not stand up to them on matters, even when RH violates contracts, so management gets away with ramrodding students into just dealing with the poor service. RH claims poverty when talking money but in all reality are just tight wads.I understand that it is a business but considering that their business is people they should be doing a lot better. Once their accreditation to be Approved Housing is threatened they will step up their game. Until then you can count on getting the short end of the stick.

Somerset is definitely not the nicest place Ive lived during my time at BYU-I, but what it lacks in amenities it makes up for in an amazing atmosphere. Sure, it would be nice to have a dishwasher that actually cleaned your dishes, shelves in the bedroom, and enough desks for everyone in the apartment, but Ive never lived in a friendlier apartment building. Somerset feels like home, a slightly run down home, but home nonetheless.

EDIT: Rexburg Housing has yet to give me my reimbursement for living there since April 2019. It’s been over two months since I moved out. This is ridiculous and incredibly frustrating. I genuinely would not recommend anyone to live at any of the Rexburg Housing locations due to this and the ways they handle other issues.The people here were good. The property itself isnt great, but it does the job and is nice and close to campus. Management changes practically every semester. The parking lot is not good at ALL, also parking fills up super quickly. Over charge for amenities that you can’t really use(pool is usually always full or dirty or needing Maintence), the salon never returns your calls for booking(been here for a year and have NEVER been able to get an appointment or anything), and apartments over all are just overcharged for what you get.Grateful for my experience there but not the best bang for your buck.

I love living at Somerset. Its right across the street from campus, its decent pricing, the social atmosphere is super welcoming, the apartments are nice, and the management is amazing. Its a fantastic place to call home.

They are helpful in making things run smoothly and help to take care of any questions. They respond quickly to any questions when you email or contact them.

Terrible. They profess to have a weight room, yet there are ZERO weights and two crappy treadmills. They took over a year to fix our cable. There was no microwave plate for a whole semester. You have to PULL teeth to get them to do anything. The false advertising sickens me. Hardly any kitchen space for 6 people. However, other than that it’s nice. Close to campus, no rodents, and it’s affordable.

No idea how this complex receives anything above one star.Plumbing is AWFUL, showers are worse than awful, hot water is in SHORT supply, and i take short showers!Windows and doors do not shut properly.Drawers don’t work properly.And as nice as the staff is, and they are nice, they are not able to get anything done, regardless of how many times we ask.Not sure if the problem is the management company or owners that simply do not care.Don’t make the same mistake i did, do your research.

I love living in Somerset! It is in a great location, right across from campus. Everyone is very friendly and the laundry system here is stellar. All of the maintenance problems were taken care of quickly and the manager is responsive and concerned about our needs.

Somerset really is the best place to live. Its  perfectly located so all classes are about equidistant, the apartments are nice, the social environment is prime, and you know you have the best manager when she knows everyone by name and is sincerely invested in serving you. You wont find any place in Rexburg that equals Somerset!

This complex is not carried by its amenities. Its not Mountain Lofts.But its not supposed to be. Its inexpensive housing, in a pristine location, and they give you more than your moneys worth for it. Youd be hard pressed to find better value per dollar anywhere in Rexburg. They consistently make an effort to improve their property, and its well maintained. The manager is fantastic, and will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is as trouble-free as possible. The man behind the maintenance keeps the place running to the very best of his abilities, which are immense.So no, its not a 5 star complex, but what they lack in luxuries, they make up for in price, location, and especially personnel.

Somerset is the best! Its a social environment and people are welcoming. Lelsy the manager is so down to earth and willing to work with you to get things sorted.

Great apartment complex! I really enjoyed living there this past semester. It was close to campus and the management there is great.

The apartment itself is fine. Dont be like us and use a black light on the beds, however. Desks are comfortable. Only downside is the catch 22 if youre living here its most likely due to school. You have to live by the University standards, even in 3rd party housing. So, for general web browsing they put up a filter. Easy enough to get around, but annoying none the less. When I complained about sites such as Gamefly (video game rental) being blocked I was told it was because I shouldnt be playing M rated video games (I was 24 at the time)... Other than that, it was decent for college housing.

I love how close to campus it is. It is only a block away from the street that goes to the center of campus. The people there are vary friendly and willing to help. This was the first Semester for the women to be there in many years. On adds and online and when I talked to the people on the phone the women were promised a shelf in their rooms but when I got there there was no shelf. I talked to the manager about it. It wasnt fixed in that semester.

The Management here is top notch! Somerset is a very down to earth place to live.

I enjoyed staying at Somerset this semester! The people are friendly and its close to campus. Nothing too fancy but I think thats why I like it so much. There are some fine print rules that can become annoying but over all a great place to stay!

Its kind of ghetto, but I like it anyway. People gather outside and it creates a friendly vibe. :) Plus laundry, cable, and two refrigerators are nice perks.

Not all apartments are made equal. We had 2 refrigerators and that was a life savor with 6 men in an apartment. The place is nice enough and is cheap on the rent.

I highly recommend staying away from Rexburg Housing. They take forever to get one request done. My roommates had previously requested, fall semester 2017, to have our shower looked at because our water was very hot. Then winter semester 2018, I had requested along with my roommates that they look into it because it still wasnt fixed. I went multiple times to talk to the manger to have her send someone to look at, she said she was ordering a part. She had no idea what part to order because nobody came to look. They will say anything to get you off their back. Then after multiple times of them writing down the request, calling them, talking to them in person, I called Rexburg Housing. They FINALLY sent someone over to look at the water heater and realized we needed a new one. This whole semester my roommates and I were being burnt by the water and had burnt marks left on our bodies. Every 5 seconds or so the water will turn from hot to cold. Because they couldnt send someone over took look at it for a second, we have to suffer. Along with the water heater there is also multiple other problems. We have had a broken drawer, a non working fan over the stove, a broken drawer under the oven, and not to mention the sidewalks that flood every time it rains. Instead of fixing the sidewalks they put pallets which does not help a lot.

I love just having to walk across the street to get to the campus. Two fridges, great ward. has both guys apartments and girls apartment so it makes it a lot easier for certain activites like FHE and potlucks.Just a great place to live at

We have had the same problems with our apartment for over a year, maintenance requests are a joke. I like the social aspect but the apartments have problems with hot water and leaky sink

Close to campus, grocery and fast food.Easy to find.Many multiple year tennants

I loved my roommates and the renovated apartments. The management was not helpful though and the rules of Rexburg Housing are ridicules. I will avoid ALL Rexburg Housing in the future. They try and take as much money from you as possible and dont care about making their tenants happy. When you dont have to deal with management it is like any other place to live and not too bad.

Nice place, good people, the best cheap apartment in town, I think.

Somerset is super close to campus and ideal for the poor college student just starting out. However, Rexburg Housing has some issues they need to sort out. They tend to nickle and dime you for small things like processing fees (ok, how hard is it for the manager to click submit on a website? $25 worth of trouble? Yeah, no.), pricey parking fees, etc. Maintenance requests take far too long to be resolved, were up to two weeks without hearing anything. Itd be nice if things worked. From a business perspective, I understand that their entire maintenance crew is busy remodeling for the fall, but I would hope that a business would pay more attention to current customers rather than future customers.The place is older than any parent of any tenant. The appliances, hot water, plumbing and laundry room really show it. They have remodeled some apartments and its just what the place needs, but a new paint job doesnt fix how a car runs.

Its fairly cheap, two fridges (really important for a six man) and super close to campus.

Management is great to work with, the location is convenient, and the units are clean! Awesome housing for an awesome price!

The manager right now is great, people are really friendly, and right across the street from campus. If your looking for an apartment I would stay at Somerset, its not that expensive like other apartments and you get access to all the Rexburg housing things, like the pools and movie room, and a little card that can get you stuff like free hair cuts and 20% off Jamba Juice and other things like this.

Close to campus, fun ward, free laundry, updated interior and the best manager. Somerset is pretty grand!

Major overhaul is what yall need, the place is straight out of the 70s, with mismatched carpet, cracking walls, bubbly and squeaky floors, bad caulk in the bathrooms, shower heads that look like they were from the 70s corroded and disgusting, pipes that sound like a banshee, and wake the whole apartment when you shower, outlets that wont hold a plug (17 out of 25 in the apartment, has been reported repeatedly for almost a year now, finally they came and replaced 3) stoves from the 80s that smell burnt no matter how often you clean them, manager (marie) that says one thing and do another (though to be fair, she was fired, doesnt change the fact that my contract was screwed up, and I had to pay for her mistake, the least they could do is fix her screw-ups, not charge me for it.....) the list goes on but this is depressing. cost me way more to live here than it could ever be worth. get on the ball this semester and maybe this could come up to three.

Cheap, close to campus, two fridges, two bathrooms, piano room, nice atmosphere, great manager, tv is included, overall a great place.

Managment was strict and not very flexible.

Great place to stay and cheap (for the guys). I love it.

I liked the feel of somerset, lots of good people there and really inexpensive.

I did some updates since my time but Im not impressed good location though

The only plus is how close it is to campus and the Tasha the manager. Somerset apartments are one of the many communities that is owned and run by Rexburg Housing. Because they have hundreds of apartments they can do whatever they want. Somerset is old and outdated. The showers have mold growing behind the walls because they arent caulked properly. The heat is radiant electric from the ceiling which means the only airflow in an apartment full of 6 guys is whenever someone opens the front door to go out. The air gets pretty stale and probably unhealthy. The appliances look like they were put in when it was built 50 years ago. The floor has dead spots in it where under the carpet you can tell it has either rotted or just broken.While Tasha, the somerset manager, is pleasant to deal with, Rexburg housing, the mother company, is not. I paid for a semester, as was my contract stipulation, and received a discount for signing a multi-semester deal. After the first semester I got married and wanted to sell my second semester of the deal. After paying the discounted rent, I was informed that in order to sell my contract I would have to sell it at the full price or pay the difference. I could not just sell it at the discounted price I had been given and change the name on the contract.After jumping through all the ridiculous loops they set, I received what I supposed to be my deposit refund and rent refund in the mail. It was a check with absolutely no indication of what it represented; how much was returned rent, how much was my original deposit, and how much I was docked for clean checks or whatever else.All in all, I would never suggest anyone get involved with any of the Rexburg Housing properties. They are all old and the people hard to work with.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! This is no 5 - Star quality place, so dont believe it when you read other reviews! 3 Star quality, 1 star service, 0 star price/quality ratio!Something youll learn is that you will have a great manager, but Rexburg Housing is the devil. Seriously, they own at least 5 apartment complexes and everyone I talk to peer-to-peer, feels like students get the raw end of a lot of bad deals. There really isnt a convenient way to pay rent or for a parking pass. If you dont have a personal check, then you either go by a money order or get stuck with a $11.72 convenience fee for paying online with your card. Seriously? Where have you ever had to pay a ridiculous fee like that ever? Not on Amazon, not on ebay, not anywhere. Only with Rexburg Housing.I only needed a contract for 3 weeks of Summer since I was getting married. I asked about a pro-rated rent or even a week-by-week deal, and all they had for me was No. Youll have to pay the $450 for the duration youll be there. End of story. The worker didnt ask more about my situation nor about how they could work with me. Not to mention $450 for summer session is outrageous compared to everyone else around.Its painfully clear that all they care about is making money, not the comfort or convenience of their tenants.If you really want a good place to live thats worth the money, look to NorthPoint or the Ivy. They arent run by Rexburg Housing and youll pay a little more for substantially more quality.***Addendum***After posting this review, the complex called me and offered me to stay for $200 for the summer. This was much better and I am grateful that they responded to my review. Im also sorry that it took me complaining to get good service.My living conditions in the summer were unsavory to say the least. Somerset is composed of 2 buildings. One womens and one Mens. The womens side is newly renovated. The mens side is a dump. You can read the other reviews for more description on that. I lived with moldy carpet, loud showers, leaks, and a dumpster right outside my window that had to remain open to keep any air flow. The place is in dire need of a renovation .A great place to live is Shelbourne. Its right behind Somerset, a little higher price, but much more for your money. A/C, nice carpet, private rooms, good parking, two laundry areas, etc.... Thats my recommendation. Also, they are NOT owned and operated by Rexburg Housing!!!!

Great location for students to live. A bit run-down but they do some things to keep it up to date.

Ive been with somerset for three years now, Ive enjoyed my stay. The current manager is AMAZING, he should get a raise or something for all he does for us. The apartments are right next to campus and so for those going to the austin its super easy and convenient. True this isnt a fancy high price apartments like mountain lofts, however one of the pluses is that you dont attract the kinds of people drawn to pricy places. We have a nice smart TV for every apartment, two fridges and nice optix internet. It would be really cool if they got google fiber *hint hint* as they were one of the first to embrace optix as far as Im aware.TLDR: If living with modest living standards isnt your thing, and having the apartment manager waiting on you hand and foot to do everything for you this probably isnt the place for you then.

It is cheap, close to campus, and very social. if that is all you want, it will be perfect.

Its ok. our dishwasher didnt work for the whole semester. not awful.
