      I'll be brief as I completely agree with what others have said about their stay at Hillcrest Place. Security, community, neighbors, park-like setting, access to shopping, food and transport are best in class. The apartments are huge with endless storage. All utilitiesā€¦Ā See More >

                Positives: -Very well maintained complex. -Affordable for a single room apartment (even on a grad student budget). -Exceptional management staff. -Far from the partying scene of NIU and in a safe neighborhood. Negatives: -Not the newest apartments but well maintained. ā€¦Ā See More >

                  Easily the quietest apartment complex I've ever lived in. Close to campus and within general walking distance of a lot of stores and the park, so a car is really not a necessity unless there's snow on the ground or bad weather. The apartments areā€¦Ā See More >

                    This is for Oak Street Apartments, which are owned by hillcrest place: I have lived all over the US, moving for college and other reasons. I was surprised by the way the office staff discriminates on the amount of money you make. I have great creditā€¦Ā See More >

                        I have lived at Hillcrest Place Apartments for about 3 years now and will safely say that I would recommend this complex as a place to live. Their rental rates are very competitive with others in the area. They are in fact quietā€¦Ā See More >

                            You always hear of the college apartment horror stories that people spread around, thus I was a bit wary when looking for my first place outside of the campus dorms.

                                These are very clean apartments except for the old carpet that has stains on it. The landlords walk into your apartment when they want to. They are very unprofessional . They have construction in the apartments and do not tell anyone so you get wokenā€¦Ā See More >
