    Not too bad. When moved in had some big issues that never got resolved or carried through. And shared areas like stairs and walkways are never clean and residents don’t pick up after their pets. But facilities are nice.

    I’ve been living in this residential society for about a year now, and it has truly met my expectations. The community is peaceful, and the amenities are great, a well-maintained gym. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. The location is also great, with easy access to public transport. Overall, it’s been a wonderful place to call home!

    Excellent rental! Clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. The landlord is professional, responsive, and ensures a smooth rental experience. I wish rent was a lot cheaper especially for the size but other than that I can’t complain

    I have lived here for about 4 years, and it’s been great! Really appreciate the staff and maintenance teams. They are dependable and proactive! I have not felt the need to lease elsewhere during my time in Ames. West Towne has been a great first renting experience for both me and my roommates.

    Not a bad place to live. Parking is free and the staff are very nice! I live in a studio that you can make very homey and easy access to outside due to being on the bottom floor! I personally want a bigger space for my dog is my only disadvantage to the space.
