Buckman Terrace: Great place (Recommending!)

2008-07-31T16:22:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at Buckman Terrace for over 8 months, and am pretty satisfied with the apartments.

2008-07-13T21:41:15-06:00

From eshin242: While the location is nice the problem is Summit Management. They raise rent without reason, and have now even switched utility management to their own in-house company.

Buckman Terrace: Beware (Not Recommending)

2005-01-05T15:33:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Several things to be aware of before renting here. There is no deposit, so they can and will assess exorbitant "cleaning fees" at move-out.
