Riverwatch Tower

I was shown 6 apartments. All but one were in less than fair condition. The carpet is worn and the kitchen and bath flooring is worn, chipped and peeling in some instances. The bathrooms have old, dirty grout, and the furniture is ugly and chipped. The kitchen appliances are older, and the cabinets are worn. The prices for a studio will range from 670.00 a month to 800.00 a month, depending on size. You will pay extra for a window that opens--go figure. The sizes of the rooms are better than those at The Ohio Stater, but again, the conditions are less than optimal. The location is great, but parking will be a hassle during tailgating season. You will be asked to move your car on game days. This is (for the condos I saw) definitely student housing. Some owners may upkeep/care more than others. You can easily find the condo owner's name by running a property search from the Franklin County Auditor's homepage. Search 364 West Lane Ave, and estimate the page your unit falls on by checking each page's floor/room range. You can then search the owner for his/her other properties and avoid that owner if necessary. more

If you are willing to pay the high price, this is a good apartment building for college students. Its quiet, safe, great location for access to North campus, basketball and football stadiums, and has good off street parking You will have to deal with a party in your parking lot every home game though which can be tiresome and annoying. Hundreds or thousands of drunk people wandering around outside your apartment 6 or 7 times a year isn't a prime situation. All around a good apartment just way too high of a price for what you get. Pros: location, room, safety Cons: really expensive more
