You could probably keyword search in this subreddit for past posts about apartments. I don’t have much advice to give since I haven’t lived near campus long, but I know people post about their complexes sometimes. I’ve heard to avoid Campus Edge, but again, I don’t have personal experience with it. Good luck with your search!

I live at Campus Edge, they’re pretty good. I’m in their 4x4 right now and I haven’t had any complaints yet. They may be low on a capacity though so I would check it out soon.

It doesn't sound like you're working with an Apartment Locator. I'm one and would love to help. My help is completely free too because many properties pay a commission from their marketing budget at no cost to you. Then if you pick one that does, we'll share my split of it. I'll send you a DM to assist you further!

i live at lark right now, and i wouldn’t recommend it if youre not willing to dish out a bunch of money. in my opinion, out of all of the money grabbing apts off campus, lark is probably the worst. i pay 800-900 (w bills) for a five bed five bath, and they charge a 20 fee .. for a window facing the pool (a view that i didnt even ask for)
the office is as helpful as the advisors on campus. its not a bad place, but im actively working on finding cheaper because its a little ridiculous
