Smaller garden-style complex of 52 units on E University Dr, about a 10-minute walk from ASU's main campus. Offers 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plans at a quieter scale than the large student high-rises. A practical, community-feel option for students or young professionals who prefer a less crowded environment. The complex has a pool and is on the University Drive bus route. At a smaller size, you tend to know your neighbours - more of a neighbourhood feel than a large apartment community.
What residents say
University Park is a genuinely different experience from the big complexes on Apache. With only 52 units, it's much more intimate - you'll recognise the people you share the pool with, and the property feels more like a small neighbourhood than an apartment block. It's a good fit for students who want to be near campus but value a quieter home environment. The 10-minute walk to campus is very manageable, and the University Drive bus adds to the commuting options. If you come from a smaller city and the idea of living in a 300-unit high-rise feels overwhelming, University Park is worth a serious look. The trade-off is fewer on-site amenities compared to the larger complexes.

Except the manager, everything is fine here. I subleased an apartment and paid for the security like a new tenant. But the manager she was so rude that she charged additional charges when we were trying to leave. She isn't there half of the time and is rude if you have any complaints about the place or uncalled extra charges. Really horrible place and avoid dealing with the manager here. The maintenance guy is the best I have seen here and he is really polite and helpful.

Stayed for almost 2 years since August '15. Fortunately, our flat was good on 3rd floor with nice balcony facing East. Had a bed bug problem once but the landlady got the flat treated and no problem since. Haven't faced any issues mostly. Its great and affordable for students. Rent in 2015-16 was around $1k for 2-bedroom. The only major downside is that bikes are stolen if kept outside (even if locked on bike racks).

Terrible. Horrible management. Natalie is the worst. Please don't go there. Lived there for an year, initially, it was good, management is very rude. The security deposit was 500$ and not a single penny was given back when we left the community. Even after repeated emails and calls there isn't any response.The same was for many others, money was not given instead were charged with huge amounts even after the house was fully cleaned and given back in good condition. The houses (not just ours but the entire blocks) were filled with cockroaches. Even after repeated complaints no care. ( which was the reason we all had to move out) This was even after we kept the house extremely clean. Fernando, the maintenance guy is the only sensible and helpful person here. The only advantage is it's very close to the university but it's not worth it !!!! ITS BEEN 5 MONTHS LEFT THE COMMUNITY BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
