I highly recommend Elkins Apartments to anyone looking for a first time apartment or anyone looking to try a new apartment. Personally, Elkins was my first apartment, and quite honestly, I greatly appreciate how welcoming and helpful staff are. Maintenance requests are handled effectively and in a timely fashion. Even on weekends, I received an email within a couple of hours informing me when someone would be over to fix an issue. Furthermore, none of my issues have gone unnoticed - they are always fixed in 1-2 days if not hours within my request. It should be noted that I have minimal issues (loose light fixture). I did have fridge issues where I needed a new fridge, and Elkins was very understanding and helpful with this issue as I had a dorm fridge brought to me when the problem was found and then brand new fridge within a day later. Elkins apartments are close to campus, and is in a location that seems much safer than other apartment choices. The community is well-kept and very friendly. I do not plan on changing apartments during my time on campus. Elkins is definitely worth a look!
