I chose Sophie Apartments because of availablility and convenience. NOT worth it, the apartment is cold, occasionally loud and never seems to have hot water. The washers and dryers are ancient. Parking is never a problem, I will give them that. Having lived in different cities and different apartments, I will tell you that the management and desk staff at Sophies are the worst! Other than when I first considered moving in, the staff and "manager" have not been courteous, and make it seem as though they are doing you a favor for anything you ask. Maybe they're volunteering? I don't know. I'm not sure how the rating system works on this particular site but I tried but am not able to reduce my particular rating, 3 of 5 is definitely too high. Needless to say, I'm at fault for signing a lease but hopefully you are able to find another location to live. Fairbanks is a difficult city to find an apartment but spend a little more time searching and you'll be happier in the long run. Good luck and hopefully you find this review helpful in your search :)
