Donā€™t live there.

I lived at The Commons for about 2.5 years. I recently moved out and the move out process has been nothing short of miserable. First it was very difficult to get ahold of anyone to give my 30 day notice of vacating occupancy. I wasā€¦Ā See More >

    Shared laundry room, machines always dirty

    The shared laundry room is always dirty, the insides of the washers and dryers are dirty. Several of the machines are always in disrepair. Simply terrible. It takes way too long for them to fix the machines. All the machines simply need to be replaced.

                        I enjoy living at The Commons. However, I might relocate sometime this year due to rent being high and there is rumor of relocating to another state. I would recommend this place since it offers a lot and very close to downtown.
