South Campus Apartments Reviews

This is a review for 34 buswell, apartment with one double. We split the apartment into two singles in the bedroom and the living room. While both rooms were around the same size, the linear layout of the apartment meant that you entered directly into the living room "bedroom," and had to walk through it to get from the official bedroom to the kitchen or bathroom. It wasn't a huge issue for us because we were friends and had coordinated our schedules, but it was hard when the official bedroom occupant wanted to have an earlier breakfast or come home late. The kitchen was galley-style, so very narrow with super limited cabinet and counter space. We got an over the sink drying rack that could be rolled up, which made life significantly better...See more

This is a review for 98 Mountfort Street specifically! I lived in a two double apartment with the bay window living room, and I swear it is one of the largest apartments on campus. The living room gets good light for the entire year, there's a separate nook for a dining area, and there's a huge closet that's great for suitcases/board games/extra chairs/other nonsense that doesn't really belong anywhere else. The apartment comes with two couches and a coffee/TV table type situation. The couches are a little small, but still comfortable. Generally speaking, all south campus apartments come with the same numbers of seats as students (two loveseats can seat four people), so you may need some light additional furnishings if you plan to have gues...See more

I like the area a lot and i like my floor plan. However there is a rat problem and heating issues, which is annoying.

I am living here as a junior (2022-2023) in an apartment with 4 people total (two doubles). We did not get one of the newly renovated apartments so many aspects of the place are a bit dated. The kitchen is insanely small and the bathroom is dated but this varies depending on which apartment you live in the building. The heaters were not working during the winter a few times so it was freezing in the apartment but they fixed it eventually and we got a space heater in case. The place overall is pretty small compared to most off-campus apartments. The location is my favorite since it is close to both east and central campus while also having a bit of an off-campus feel since it is not on comm ave. Overall though I love living here because I ab...See more

I live in 820 Beacon Street. The building is newly renovated and the rooms are quite spacious. Definitely one of the better south apartments

Cockroaches in the building. Even after 3 months of spraying they were still there. Facilities didn't respond to our numerous requests of paint chipping and infestation. Stay advised!

Location is great tho!

I lived in 828 Beacon St. The apartment was spacious with a nice size kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom was big enough for us to push our beds together, but non-couples would probably need to us the living room as a second bedroom.

Lived in 834 Beacon. Room is actually pretty nice, as aforementioned, the living room space is big enough to move your bed into so that the separate bedroom can be a "single". Kitchen space is small, but workable. Stoves work, oven is a +. If you face the street your natural lighting is really nice, it just gets a little loud sometimes. Ventilation is really poor but opening windows and using a fan is enough to keep it alright. Super close to the Target, Whole Foods, and Star Market, and has many restaurants just down the street. Only weird thing is that the stairs are tilted so climbing them was a little strange. Room is also slightly on an incline.

South's apartments vary a lot. Mine was at 6 Buswell St. The building is very old, but I'm just happy that I had a private kitchen and a private bathroom. The kitchen uses a gas stove, so the food cooks pretty fast compared to an electric stove. There is no microwave but there are a lot of cabinets. The fridge is large. It's like the ones you find in normal family homes. Compared to other South places, the living room is pretty small (smaller than a Warren double). The bedroom is slightly wider than a Warren double. Heater is adjustable but the settings are only low, medium, and high. If you close the shower panels the wrong way, the water leaks to the bathroom floor and even to the floor below (The floor under us had to call the plumber tw...See more

The location is amazing and even though the buildings are older, they’re pretty nice for the most part
