I love the internment that my apartment is in, but the walls are very thin so I can hear a lot of things, even if is just my neighbor next door laughing. Everything else is great and I would recommend.

The manager, Tim, is difficult to work with and is quick to blame issues on his residents. He's not easy going and won't miss dealing with him when I move out. Probably the #1 reason me and the people I know dislike UP.

I enjoy the setting, wish that the maintenance off laundry rooms and doors was better. Also very high rent rates for not having access to working laundry centers for many days of the month. Overall a good community.
