I am very happy with my time at The Cottages! The neighborhood is very cute and quiet, and the apartments offer so much space (both indoors and outdoors)! I used to live much closer to the Purdue campus, and there was a lot of noise due to traffic and construction at all hours of the day. This has not been an issue at The Cottages. When I moved in, the staff were extremely helpful and answer all the questions I had. In addition, the maintenance staff is very fast and friendly! I submitted a request to fix the kitchen sink disposal, and it was addressed in less than 24 hrs! Last, I noticed some other reviews that made comments about noise and the heat during the winter being an issue, especially in the first floor bedrooms. I live on the first floor of a duplex house, and unless I have my windows wide open...I do not have issues with hearing the people in the apartment next door. I also can't hear my roommates who live upstairs. Regarding the heating, I think they have (more recently) installed space heaters in the first floor rooms, so it does not get cold!
