Review content:
I live at 609 W. Main St. in Urbana. It is a property owned by Barr, and I really enjoy living there. Any apartment living is not without its flaws- the first year there my neighbors were really noisy at awful hours, but since they left it has been amazing! The apartment complex, as it turned out, undertook the task of tackling a massive complex renovation which even involved tearing down the front walls of my apartment. I DO wish I knew that when I moved in. However, they worked very hard to make sure these upgrades were done at times that were the least detrimental to my schedule (such as doing things while I was away for Christmas break). Furthermore, they acknowledged that this was less than ideal and made sure I wasn't paying full rent for a noisy home. Also, the place really did get an upgrade. It looks gorgeous now! They even landscaped the apartment, and I am proud to say I live in the complex- it looks so vogue. The maintenance staff has been EXCELLENT throughout my stay, fixing things as minor as a missing tile on my bathroom wall, giving me nice new wooden floors (so much easier to clean, too!), and even coming over after hours to give me a temporary heater when I got home at 6pm to discover my heat was faulty, and made sure that a repair man would come ASAP, which turned out to be right that night- wonderful! The staff at Barr Real Estate Office in Champaign are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Any time I have a request or a suggestion, it is heard. These people are really wonderful and the company has made the best out of a not-so-convenient situation with our apartment renovation. I feel that my voice has been heard in my requests- once the lights on the outside of the building and the entryway were out. I told Mr. Barr, and he got the construction workers to fix it that day. I haven't even mentioned the apartment yet, but here it is: I have a beautiful 2 bedroom townhouse, fully furnished, with plenty of space. It has a nice roomy family room, an east-facing kitchen that really is great to enjoy breakfast and wake up in during the early hours before school, and two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The bathroom is roomy and with enough space for a bathroom-hog like me to still be quite comfortable. And that second bedroom is perfect as a guest bedroom and study room. Despite the rocky beginning, I absolutely love this place, and will be living here all four years of my Veterinary career. Thinking of living in a Barr apartment' I would absolutely say yes.
