My son moved in for college. It will serve the purpose. But his room was not cleaned very well before him moving in. Also, his drain is not draining in the shower. He sent an email today. I'm waiting to see how long he has to wait for it to be fixed.
Now out of college and he just received his deposit back after they took out not 1 but 2 cleaning fee's!!
Shame, shame!! Seeing as how my first review was!! We had to clean to move him in!
Beware!!!

One star is too much for this place. The location is the only positive, and everything else is overpriced and poorly managed. Rent is high for the quality, utilities are often overcharged with no real explanation, and the water pressure is extremely weak—likely due to cost-cutting during construction.
The apartment was dirty on move-in and required a full clean before use. Maintenance is slow and unreliable; work orders can take weeks and staff turnover is constant. Management is inaccessible, only replying to emails and taking no responsibility for normal wear and tear.
Move-out was equally frustrating, with unjustified charges for me and my roommates.
You can find far better housing—cleaner, cheaper, and with more responsive service. Even if you value proximity, it’s smarter to spend on transportation than to overpay here. Stay away from this complex.
P.S. "University Commons" and "Melbourne Commons" are under the same management.

We had this old microwave that broke in a way that was not our fault, they charged us 400$ to replace it and gave us no opportunity to dispute saying their contract spells it out. They also took an unreasonable amount out of our security deposits
