Rent was $695 and utility was $90 (as far as I recall) including water, electric, and trash.
I lived in a studio located at the top floor of OV's leasing office (neither Village nor Ravine). The apartments are recently renovated, has stainless steel appliances, central heating and air-conditioning. Also fitness facility & leasing office are right down below - very convenient.
I also had no problem with getting a help/fix when something went wrong - although there are some disagreement across the reviews here my experiences with maintenance people were all good.
Finally great location; nice little cute shops and local restaurants, two Asian grocery shops, a local organic grocery shop, and a Giant Eagle store are all around. 10 min bus ride to OSU and 20 min bus ride to downtown once I just hopped out of my front door.
BUT (this is big giant BUT!)
I had so many unpleasant hiccups regarding property management.
First, I originally reserved (signed the form and sent a deposit check) a 1-bedroom apartment on its Village portion. The OV staff verbally assured that there WAS at the moment an opening for that option. I mean otherwise I would not send my deposit check. After some months passed, she suggested totally different units, and one of which was this studio I have lived for a year. When I called at the office, and talked about this problem, the leasing office staff (another person than I originally talked with) said I was being "not flexible" and if I did not want the studio they would return my deposit. So, I should go searching for another apartment (I'm omitting in which tone he conveyed this message during this phone call because I acknowledge that I might be very subjective and biased).
I should have done it probably. But, I was in Chicago at the moment working on my dissertation. Also, I thought this unpleasant interaction with property management must be just one time thing. So, I took it. Yes, it might have been one time thing. But, again when I moved out they took over a month to return my deposit checks, which originally had to be returned in 2 weeks.
None of them said sorry or showed any hint of apology at all.
The apartment itself had no problem (since it is new) other than paper-thin walls through which you can hear pretty much everything (even neighbors' phone vibrating).
I am now so happy that I moved out, and had my deposit back, so there will be no more talking through them.
