The Courtyards

Living at The Courtyards apartments on Red Mile Road was the worst decision I have ever made. The staff is irresponsible and unresponsive. The manager gets here when he wants to and leaves when he wants to. I have never once seen him walk the premises. Also, the ""security guard"" or ""courtesy officer"" whatever they are calling him- doesn't pop his head out of where he's living, so don't count on him for help. Aside from the staff here at the courtyards, or lack thereof, the trash and glass in all the breezeways, staircases, and parking lot is like nothing I have ever seen. I have seen people throwing trash off third floor balconies just because they are too lazy to throw it away. This trash and glass is not cleaned up until I call and complain to the office several times. There's so much glass on the sidewalk right now I have to park my car on the other side of the parking lot. At my old apartment, staff came around every morning taking care of maintenance issues. If there was ever a problem with our apartment, it was fixed right away. Here at the Courtyards, you could be waiting several days if the problem is ever fixed. I called for light bulbs to be replaced several weeks ago- hasn't happened. I ended up replacing the bulbs on our porch myself. The partying here is ridiculous. Finals week people were out partying until 5 am. If you are going to UK to get a degree, don't live at the Courtyards. Liquor flows here and weed is everywhere. I have called the police numerous times about weed. It took three phone calls to even get them to come out here, and when they did, nothing happened to the tenants. This place is absolutely ridiculous, and I cannot wait for my lease to end. If you like to drink, smoke, and do anything except go to school or do homework, COME LIVE HERE! and get out of any complex that has some people with some sense living in it. This place is disgusting. more

Hey, come on people, you get what you pay for with housing right? Lets face it, it's way cheaper in the long run than living in a dorm and you have your own room with a lock on it and only have to share a bathroom with one other person at the most. No, it's not the Hilton or Angliana apts (at over 550$ a month) but it's what you make of it, never saw any bugs and noone is busting your butt for having a frosty beverage on the balcony. Pool is very clean and we NEVER had any issues with the office staff. Every concern was addressed quicky and they were more than courteous. The carpets have to be professionaly steam cleaned upon moving out and the kitchen was average, although very dated. Lets face it, for the location and the price, its really just fine more

This place is terrible! I lived there for 2 years because the rent was so cheap but it was a horrible experience. First off, when I moved in the place was filthy! They had never cleaned it since the previous tenants moved out; the walls were scuffed, the carpet was stained, and the furniture had cigarette burns all over it. Then they management charged my room mates and I to get it cleaned and repainted. The management was awful, they were rude and unresponsive. They never responded when I tried to contact them about maintenance problems (things broke a lot because of the low quality construction) or make noise complaints. And that was one of the biggest problems, there are parties there every night and the courtyards doesn't care how loud or aggressive people get. If you have to work or have class in the morning then good luck getting to sleep when your neighbor's bass shaking your walls at 4am. Also while I lived there I know of at least 5 apartments that got broken into, it was a real problem for a while but the courtyards management never sent out a notice to warn anyone or even cared when people told the their apartments were broken into. They claim that the apartments are safe because two security officers live there but the only supposed officer that I ever met was drunk and forced everyone to leave the pool one night at 8pm because he felt like it, even though the pool closes at 10pm. more
