The apartment is quite affordable, the amenities are nice. Not too far from campus. I enjoy the events that are planned pretty much every month.

I had no issues with the lease, looking forward to staying here for the year, good price with large living space in a nice gated community. Staff was also very helpful over the phone.

Beware of The Roost Apartments
I will not recommend The Roost at 1051 Southern Drive. My biggest issue is the leasing process. The lease looks straightforward until you sign. Then you discover terms with serious consequences lurking around your every move and getting out comes with costly penalties. The problems don’t end there. The beds are rickety and shaky, making a good night’s sleep nearly impossible. The window blinds are old, torn, and never replaced. Pest control seems to happen only before move-in and is not... maintained afterward. Think twice before signing. I wish I had run.

Hello,
We replace furniture annually and throughout the year as needed. Pest control services are also provided every Monday, with treatments completed based on submitted work orders. If you have any furniture or pest control concerns that need to... be addressed, please let us know. We would be happy to assist and ensure they are resolved promptly.
Best,

I feel like this is about to be great new beginning and the place is very next and spaced out. I love the pool and gym and how they have everything.
