Block 36 Apartment

You get what you pay for with this complex. The unit was in poor shape during move-in with multiple broken items and uncleaned.

During move out was charged for items that were damaged by previous tenants.

The staff is nice which is a plus and there are good amenities but with how much they have raised rent I would recommend looking somewhere else where you get better quality for your money.

Great place to live! Love that the apartments are fully furnished and that everyone gets their own bedroom and bathroom. Rooms are very spacious and private. The office staff is great and the maintenance team is always friendly and completes our work orders quickly!

This property is extremely affordable, and it has the whole package deal! All-inclusive amenities are my favorite. The bedroom sizes are great, and it’s one of my top choices on the outskirts of East Lansing!

Many people think that it is a bad thing to be further from the MSU campus, but I personally love it! It makes for a calm and quiet community. I also love that all of the amenities are very central in the community.

PLUS the spacious walk-in closets are SO nice for all of my clothes!

This is a classic case of “you get what you pay for.” The rent is inexpensive, but I am going to be paying more to live somewhere else at the end of my lease. I have had my car broken into several times after a year of living here, and so have many others. This has been brought to staffs attention multiple times, but our “security” has done nothing to catch them which is weird bc it happens weekly and I’m sure is a resident of Block 36 going around at night breaking in.

The internet is... terrible and unreliable, which is especially bad if you’re a college student trying to do schoolwork. A roommate of mine had to do her job from home due to Covid, and she eventually had to work with her manager to get back in the office because she simply couldn’t do her job here with the lack of internet.

Multiple reports of cockroaches from building 5, trash valet service is unreliable, and because of that the hallways always smell like garbage. My biggest pet peeve of all is the front door lock/ key card system that seems to go down every other month. They don’t email/call you when the buildings lock stops working, so my roommate came home at 3am with no working key card and since the leasing office was closed and couldnt reprogram her card, she had to find other sleeping arrangements at 3am.

There is always fighting and yelling outside, and reports of strange men walking up to girls apartments and trying to force their way in.

The only good thing about this place is the maintenance, I’ve found them to be very respectful when walking around our unit and they always triple knock before coming in. Brianna in the leasing office is great and very nice/helpful.

I wish there were more good things to say because the apartments are cute enough, but I feel overall unsafe here with the amount of car break ins and weird activity that happens at night outside/inside the buildings. If I could say 1 thing to Block 36 it would be to put cameras on the front and back of every building, that way the next time someone reports a car break in, you guys will be able to catch and evict them so people don’t continue to feel unsafe here.
