Resident 2006 - 2007

The first thing you will probably notice upon signing up to live in the Olentangy Village apartments is the price. I was skeptical, but let me assure you the quality of living is worth every dollar. The tenant population is generally quiet and laid back, and even if you had a noisy neighbor, you would probably never notice. The walls are thick and insulate extremely well from noise and heat loss. It is located within walking distance of a well stocked Giant Eagle, multiple places to eat, a couple bike shops and other convenient places to pick up what you need. There is currently a Get-go gas station under construction to make it that much easier. Though, you might not need a car, since the village is connected directly to a bike trail that runs up and down the Olentangy river. The staff is helpful and polite. They will remember your name from the first time they meet you and greet you with a friendly smile and say Hello to you by name. The maintenance staff is helpful and will provide a friendly chat while they're fixing your place. If you're not home, they will go out of their way to fix other things they notice on their way out. I have only noticed a few downsides. The age of the apartments does have a noticeable effect on how well things generally work. Drains don't always hold water and interior doors don't always catch properly (though your main door will latch securely). The kitchen is on the small side for the single bedroom apartments, but it is manageable. The walls won't let you hang things well; your best bet is to use the 3M command hooks and lightweight hangings. I hope that you will consider Olentangy Village when you are looking for a place to live. It is quiet and located near many convenient spots. It is a short bike ride along a peaceful trail to campus, and the tranquility despite living near High street can't be rivaled.
