Triphammer Apartments

We lived here for 6 months and it was a great experience living here! I would like to add a few details: 1) The apartment was clean and spacious. Special mention to balcony and kitchen, both of them were fairly large. 2) We had 2 maintenance requests during our stay and both of them were resolved next day. We were also locked out of our apartment(outside office hours) and the staff came to rescue in an hour. Front office was also very responsive as and when needed 3) The garden is well kept and looks beautiful in summers. I highly recommend this !

Recently, I moved to Triphammer Apartments, and I am completely satisfied with living here. Here are the reasons why I’m happy with my choice: 1. Safety: The town feels very safe. I believe there’s less concern about losing delivery packages in this area. I’ve already placed a few online orders, and all my packages were safely delivered to my doorstep. The tenants here seem gentle and friendly. When applying for this apartment, the screening process (employment, salary, identification, etc.) was slightly stricter compared to others, and now I understand why. 2. Cleanliness and Quietness: The house is clean and well-maintained. I couldn’t find anything broken or damaged in the unit, and the surroundings are pleasant. I’ve noticed some families with children living here, and the area is peacefully quiet. There are no noisy parties on weekends near my apartment. 3. Convenient Transportation: The bus station is located right in front of the apartment, and it takes just 15 minutes by bus to get to the Cornell campus. 4. Accessible Shopping: Shopping malls and small markets are within a 5–15-minute walking distance from the apartment. An Asian market, Ithaca Tofu, is only a 1-minute walk away, making it very convenient to buy Asian food. 5. Close to the Airport: The airport is nearby, making domestic travel very convenient. So far, I don’t think I’ll need to purchase a vehicle due to the excellent accessibility of the area. One small downside is that if you live on the first floor, you might occasionally hear footsteps from the second floor. However, this is manageable unless you are extremely sensitive to noise.

I have lived at Triphammer Apartments for 3 years and just resigned my lease for a 4th year. I have submitted maybe 3 maintenance requests in my entire time here! There is rarely any problems and the complex itself is lovely with mostly families and graduate students. Everyone is friendly - the other tenants, the maintenance staff, the office staff. They proactively fix apartments - for the past 3 years they have slowly been replacing the sliding doors on all apartments (which I believe they have completed), and when they were in my apartment replacing my doors they noticed my sink was slightly sunken (something I didn’t even realize) and fixed it the next week. If you’re in a one bedroom there is no in unit washer/dryer, but there is a coin operated laundry room in the complex (2 machines each for washer/dryer) - in my 3 years I’ve had to wait maybe 3 times for someone else to finish doing laundry. The apartments are relatively soundproof to neighbors adjacent. Neighbors above you can definitely hear, but that’s apartment living. Interestingly, the exterior walls are the least sound proof - at night you can hear people talking as they walk by, or people inside talking as you walk up to the building. Luckily it’s relatively quiet at night. Overall I have loved living at Triphammer and would certainly recommend it.

I've had the pleasure of living in Triphammer Apartments for the past two and a half years. My 2-bedroom home was on the second floor, and it was really quiet and spacious. One of my favorite things was the kitchen. It was super spacious and newly remodeled. As someone who loves to cook and baking, having a modern, well-equipped kitchen was a real treat. Plus, being so close to Asian grocery stores was a huge bonus. If I ever forgot an ingredient, I could just walk to the Ithaca tofu in two minutes ~ The maintenance team was also responsive and helpful. Whether it was fixing the kitchen lights or addressing an issue with the sink, they were on top of it quickly and efficiently. Besides, when I had to relocate to another state earlier than expected, the leasing office was really accommodating and helpful. They helped me find a new resident who would like to start the lease early. A month after I moved out, I received my full deposit back– something rare in all the apartments I’ve lived in Ithaca. I have to say my experience at Triphammer Apartments was really amazing!!!

I don't see negative review, so I think it's important to give a review about their recent status. I moved in three years ago, and it was good. The maintenance was fast; the complex looked new and clean. Things started to change incredibly significantly last year, which I don't know why. Everything became so slow. Most important of all, I couldn't find their staff with whatever means I could try, email, going to their office, phone call. Their staff just never showed off in the office. They couldn't even reply to any phone or email. I moved out last month (we needed to move out early due to personal reasons), but I wasn't able to reach them for the refund of our deposit. My roommate and I fortunately previously found them once after many many tries and "seemed to" cancel our lease early. But then, we had problem finding them again to confirm our canceling and key returning and room check before leaving, as well as for deposit refund. The experience is extremely bad. Now we're hoping that we indeed cancel the lease. We might just give up our deposit. I also heard that someone was trying to move in last year, but they never responded, so she just moved to another apartment. This used to be a very good apartment and those previous "old" reviews were correct about their goodness., until recently their staff just never showed up. If you don't show up in the office, at least say that you're working remotely, or at least respond responsibly to our emails. Therefore, I don't recommend moving in to this apartment until they have at least one responsive staff. They have this problem for at least a year from my experience. They seem to have more than one staff. It's incredible that they don't communicate about when to work at this place and just disappear. I hope that this place can be good again. It was indeed pretty nice before.
