The LINC Apartments

We came in and booked a tour same day, and the tour guide was really nice and helpful in answering our questions.

Living wise this has been the best living situation in all my years at Urbana-Champaign. The amenities are great and the overall staff is very nice, especially Ashley.

I was given an apartment and amenities tour by the leasing agent Brooklyn. She was incredibly engaging and was very helpful in answering all of my questions. If you’re looking to tour, I would definitely suggest requesting her!

I have decided not to renew my lease due to several disappointing experiences with management and roommate arrangements.

From the start, management has been neglectful and unhelpful when it comes to addressing roommate issues. I participated in a roommate mediation at the beginning of the year, but no resolution was ever reached. Since then, I have been stuck living with a roommate who refuses to clean up the kitchen, creating a consistently unpleasant living environment.

I informed management... about how living in this situation was draining my mental health, yet they told me there was nothing they could do about it. This lack of concern for tenant well-being was incredibly disheartening. Living in such a negative environment has completely changed my outlook on this area. It has impacted me so deeply that I’ve decided to change my entire academic path and will be relocating to Texas, as I no longer wish to remain in Champaign.

Additionally, after an earlier roommate switch, I was paired with someone who has no pet accommodations, despite clearly stating on my application that I would have a pet. I have been living here longer than my current roommate, yet my needs were overlooked.

On top of these issues, management has offered incentives in exchange for positive reviews, despite being unhelpful and neglecting tenant concerns. This feels misleading and does not reflect the reality of living here.

Overall, the lack of support and poor management have made my experience frustrating, and I would not recommend this property to others.


Update February 12, 2025: After posting my honest review, the leasing office called me and threatened me, accusing me of slandering their office. During the call, they claimed that I was being aggressive, even though I was simply standing by my experiences and concerns. They also insisted that my experience of being offered an incentive in exchange for leaving a positive review was not true, despite me personally encountering it. The representative went as far as to say that they would place a leasing violation on me, seemingly as a way to intimidate me into removing my review. This unprofessional and hostile response only reinforced my negative experience with the management team. Read More

Ashley was my point of contact, she definitely went above and beyond to ensure that I felt confident and answered all my questions. She is always willing to help and made moving in super easy by offering me a ride to my apt and letting me use a dolly for moving my packages! Ashley helped me make the right decision and thats why I decided to move here! Thank you.
