  • DO NOT RENT HERE

    July 8, 2023
    Numerous issues including but not limited to AC/Heating issues, 90% of the washers/dryers not working in the laundry room, constant drug dealing and shady characters around. Also as of yesterday the power has been off for OVER 24 HOURS. Had to rent a hotel due to it being almost 90 in my apartment that of course they won’t reimburse.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Stay Away

    May 9, 2023
    Terrible. Numerous AC/Heating issues and the hot water is turned off literally 2-3 times a week. Can’t wait to move out! Also, the laundry room only has 2-3 washers and dryers functioning at any given time. The rest are always broken.

  • Horrible

    May 25, 2021
    1st moved in, it was infested with bugs and smelt like an old diner that let people smoke in it . The crew that fixes things for new move ins did the bare minimum. Parking lot has huge pot holes. Thermostat is right next to a vent so it only cools right next to the house oh and there’s a 15$ fee to pay on line and they don’t take cash in person. the staff isn’t friendly. Water comes out brown for the 1st 10 seconds of use .

  • HORRIBLE!!!

    December 22, 2020
    Worst apartment ever!!! Please do yourself a huge favor and run far from this place. The lack of communication from staff/management and hidden fees are ridiculous. Have fun trying to resolve any issue because the manager is always conveniently out of the office. I had been paying rent for 8 months after I moved due to covid. Everything was fine, I went back to clean everything and the apartment was spotless. When I got my deposit back I had all these completely absurd charges. Over 100 dollar ...
    pet charges for things like extermination and pet odor..when my cat had not been living there for over 8 months and there was zero scent. Such a scam place that takes your money any chance they get. Good luck trying to get it back because their communication is not there and the front desk girls change about every 3-4 months (red flag). I should have listened to the bad reviews but I thought I pay my rent on time and don’t cause problems..I won’t have any issues. Boy was I wrong! They tell you one thing and then a week later say something different. Living wise was fine for the most part but everything else was a nightmare. I would also be extremely weary of these ‘good’ reviews left for this place..I noticed the manager who charged me over $300 of absolute scam charges left her own five star review for this place lol. Find somewhere other than this absolutely horrible place to live.

  • I've Been Converted

    June 14, 2020
    "Never Judge a book by its cover. People have left one-sided and only biased reviews. I do commend people who have left realistic reviews. You get what you pay for, and as this is a complex, as it may appear to be older and not as fancy as some, this is a college town in Huntsville. I do love the staff here, especially the maintenance crew. These workers are truly invested in helping and personally are very good people. This place feels like home to me :)

  • I love my new apartment!

    August 13, 2019
    I wanted to write a review since I saw all of the negative on here. I recently moved into one of the renovated 1 bedroom apartments here. I absolutely love my new apartment. The office staff were great and very accommodating in helping me get moved in. My air conditioner went out shortly after I moved in and maintenance was there to fix it within an hour of calling the office. It has worked since with no problems. I would defiantly recommend UPA to any of my friends looking for a place.

    May 1, 2018
    No good customer service. Office staff very rude! 1 year here & I must find somewhere else to live. They do not care about residents needs, only their rent. I have never been late paying my rent. They have even over charge me, then credited me back months later. That means nothing. I have lived here 11 months now, my stove still not fix ...i just gave up. They are just a terrible set of people in that office. Live somewhere else!!!

    The maintenance is horrible!! Customer service is horrible, the apartments are horrible, the manager is horrible, the main office is horrible, over all experiance is the worst I've ever had. Nicole is a horrible "manager", Candy only does her job when you call headquarters, your apartment could be burning down..... Literally and she'd be worried about God knows who but not the apartments nor the people. They put us in a vacant unit... With no heater in the winter and didn't care about ALL of our ...
