Vie at University Downs Apartments

Worst place in Tuscaloosa, they have roaches, the apartments are nasty, Management is horrible and only care about money, they're maintenance staff is the worst they put duct tape on some pipes to fix a leak, just horrible, this was by far the worst experience I've ever had

Serious property concerns that never get resolved and are never taken seriously. Neighbors are horrible and fairly certain there are several drug rings running here. Management doesn't care about anything. There was a shooting and they haven't done anything meaningful to tighten security.

This place has been so horrible. Unfortunately I still live here so to not being able to get out of my lease without paying a ridiculous amount. The apartment photos compared to when you actually move in are not the same. They do not clean these apartments before you move in and if they say they do they are lying. So many structural issues with these apartments like cabinets walls being separated and having openings in them, no cabinet space at all especially in the 3 bedrooms. I had a roommate... that had a gun and pointed it in our apartment. I moved out and was placed in a unit that i was not allowed to view before deciding to move in and now i know why because it was just disgusting. Despite the lease saying something about tenants having weapons will be evicted, this resident still lives in my old unit. Since living in this disgusting unit I have had mold all over the place. So bad that it has gotten on my belongings. I informed the leasing office and spoke with the manager(Erin). The only thing that was done was them putting an dehumidifier into the unit for a few days. I emailed Erin multiple times and called the office multiple times for follow ups on what they will do to prevent more mold. I finally got a response 22 days after our initial contact. At that point the mold had grown back not only in our kitchen but on our appliances, in our seasonings, on our furniture we bought, clothing, and shoes. They are suppose to have someone come to do something for the mold. But I’m not holding my breathe for anyone to actually show up. This issue has not been handled promptly and was not taken seriously. Do not live here! They do not care and will not do anything properly to fix issues the correct way. They will take ridiculous amount of time to even address issues half way. It’s not with it live somewhere else. Read More

I have only been living at Vie for a week and it’s already exceeded my expectations! Great security, clean places, great community, amazing amenities, and overall a great experience so far! Love it.

Vie has everything you could think of and the friendliest staff ever! They also always have events for the residents like all of the time. Super spacious and a super safe community.
