Downfall to Good Location

I was at Canal Square for a year as a student. I enjoyed the easy access to campus and proximity to downtown. I pretty much echo what other reviewers have said. I feel like the ones who give it five stars work for the company. Demographic is young students. I was on the third floor in an apartment with new carpeting, which was nice. The windows are old with absolutely no insulation, and my electric bill was quite high. We barely turned on the heat in the winter because we were kept pretty warm by the apartments on both sides and above and below. We had an ant infestation beginning in spring. I was surprised since my apartment was on the third floor. I bought a lot of ant traps. Parking is way overpriced. Buy a pass for IUPUI and leave your car there if you can. The garage is inconvenient anyway. The staff in the office is generally very nice, but there is one woman with glasses who is VERY rude. I heard about people who have refused to sign a lease after meeting with her. I have no idea why they keep her around. Maintenance is absolutely awesome. No complaints at all. Anytime day or night, they come and fix it right. Workout room is good, typically uncrowded. Pool is nice. The garbage truck came at 4:00 in the morning, and it drove me absolutely crazy. I am a heavy sleeper, but the crashing of the dumpsters and beeping of the truck woke me up on a number of occasions. The halls can be a little noisy at times. It didn't bother me that much. In my opinion, there are better options for your money (Gardens, Cosmo, etc.). If you decide to live here, spring for the upgraded ones that have new appliances and flooring. The normal ones are very old. There are way worse communities, but I would choose to live elsewhere.
