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.
