This apartment complex has a black mold problem. The staff is fully aware of this problem. The window seals in the apartments leak every time that it rains. There was constant regrowth of black mold in my apartment.

      Nice place to live. It is safe and it is a reasonable price. I like that I can have my dog here with me. I have a safe place to walk with my dog.

        UP is amazing place for exchange students. Because it is very closed to UAB and you will meet lots of new friends from whole world.

                I have lived in UP for 3 years. UP has a reputation that it is overpriced. I agree with that but the advantages of living here worth that high rent prices. However, recently it became overpriced with really bad maintenance service. Here are my reasons.ā€¦Ā See More >

                  University Place
                  The market rents for University Place are inclusive of electricity and water and are far below that of other competing properties. Our staff strives to provide the best possible customer service. As a current resident, if there are any unresolved issues that the office and/or maintenance staff can address, please feel free to contact us at any time. The laundry room was repainted and the flooring has been scheduled to be replaced and will be done so as quickly as possible. In the interim, if there are washing machines or dryers that are inoperable, please make certain to report this to the office so the issue can be addressed with the laundry room vendor. In addition, if you have any other concerns as it relates to the staff and or operations of University Place, we ask that you make an appointment with the office to discuss in order to facilitate a quick resolution.
