Very accommodating management
We just signed a lease here. The management went above and beyond to accommodate us in what we wanted for the unit. It’s updated and clean with a huge private balcony. So far, very happy

Very poor quality and expensive place to live
University Park was sold to Live More Ithaca (now Nest Communities) in February 2023. The new owners have raised our rent by $300, increased the pet rent by $25, and stopped covering the $50 internet fee.
During the last two winters they have never done a thorough job removing snow from the parking lot and have probably cleared the sidewalks 3 times in total. As a result, the sidewalks and parking lots are almost always covered in a sheet of ice during the winter.
No improvements to the actual... buildings have been made, and these are desperately needed. The entryways have moldy carpet, the walls are cracked, and the insulation is poor (heating bills are very high). But the owners appear to justify increasing rent because they have added superficial amenities such as a "pet pampering station". The swimming pool remains empty as always.
Not much natural light comes in the windows, there is a woodpecker living in a hole in our outside wall, and fruit flies are a persistent problem every summer. There are no overhead lights in the living room or bedrooms.
In short, the prices are as high as ever, the buildings are in poor shape, and the owners have provided poor service.

Worst place I ever lived in
I lived in Ithaca for 5 years, and moved here last year. This is the WORST place I ever lived in. After I moved in, they started to build a new building right next to my apartment, without any notification. Then my life on the construction site began, and it is like hell. Loud construction noise and the workers are playing loud music. I talked with the leasing office many many times, but every time they will just say "they are contract workers and we can do nothing about it". And I experienced... at least 3 times water shortage during my days here and according to the leasing office, those were not their problems. So, in one word, I am extremely disappointed with the leasing team here and they are of no help. Also, the buildings were very old. Trust me, you don't want to live here.

A great place to live for both professionals and students
I moved to Ithaca for a temporary job and was desperate to find an apartment that would accommodate a short-term lease and was in my price range. They were incredibly accommodating with respect to a short-term lease for me and the price was great for the area. I was there for 8 months and loved every second of it. The management team, as well as the maintenance team, is very friendly and accommodating. If I was able to stay longer, I most likely never would have left.

Great place to live!
I lived in a couple of other places in Ithaca but University Park Apartments is the best among all the places that I’ve lived and visited! Officers are super nice and it’s been a quiet and peaceful place with a great location. I strongly recommend this place if you are going to live in Ithaca!
