2009-06-17T15:44:19-06:00

Ellington Apartments (formerly Cambridge Glen): lots of issues (Not Recommending)

2008-12-23T09:42:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: all the reviews from 2008 are correct. The leasing office tends to not tell you about the water bill till after you sign the lease. They also do short term leases (this is why i choose them, although they are overpriced). But if you want to renew the lease and ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-04-21T23:04:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is bad. It has obviously been poorly maintained for a very long time. The staff lies about how much your utility bills will be.

2008-04-13T18:20:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These apartments are very over priced for what they are, the newer office staff is pretty terrible. The standing water on the lawns is a real problem.

Ellington Apartments (formerly Cambridge Glen): So far so good (Recommending!)

2008-04-12T23:52:33-06:00

From AmyNU: I've lived here for two months now and I still can't find anything wrong with it. I only have one car so I'm happy with the one assigned covered spot, although it's quite small and can get a little annoying. I live in an upstairs unit and I have NEVER ...

2008-01-23T12:01:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am a current tenant in this apartment. They are not responsible on noise control. Late November, I complained noise from my neighbor's air conditioning fan.

Ellington Apartments (formerly Cambridge Glen): What the heck? (updated) (Not Recommending)

2008-02-11T23:55:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the worst place I've ever lived. All I have to say is that they better not take anything out of my deposit when I leave because there is NO WAY that anyone other than the previous tenant cleaned anything before I moved in. Okay, well, MAYBE the carpets ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-03-26T01:10:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We've lived here for almost a year now. The apartments themselves are alright, bigish for Davis, and you can have pets which is an obvious plus.

Ellington Apartments (formerly Cambridge Glen): This place has gone off its rocker (Not Recommending)

2006-11-10T15:38:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Many residents that come and go through Ellington's Insane Assylum go on to graduate to a full blown state mental ward. With a 80% graduation rate, Ellington is the perfect place to lose one's marbles, drool and pee on other residents while simultaneously clapping hysterically and eating applesauce. After a ...
