University Walk Knoxville

I lived here the first year they were open and it was pretty horrible. Tried cutting slack for the fact that they were a new facility but there are some things about the place that will never change. Everything was done quick, cheap, and poorly. Paint was all over the carpets upon move in. A bedroom light went out and went to go unscrew it and got a huge puddle of water that splashed in my face that fell from the light fixture. Maintenance came, took the light fixture down, let it air out, then came back the next day and put a bulb in it and called it done. We had a leak in our kitchen sink pipe and they had to rip up the whole island because of mold. We lived in a construction zone where the workers came and went as they pleased and never announced their arrival. We had 4 frat guys living above us that had parties at the most ridiculous hours during the week. They were stomping around so hard that a picture frame fell off the wall and shattered. Went and knocked on their door at 4:30 AM on a Wednesday morning to ask them to quiet down and got a beer bottle thrown at us as we walked away. Pool was always closed due to broken glass. Trying to find parking after 5 pm was a joke and you had to park in the lot a few blocks away. Anytime I called in a noise complaint it was never addressed. Then they raised the prices after the first year (to be expected) but I couldn't justify paying that absurd price for what we got. Also, over the summer one of our roommates moved out and the staff didn't notify us that they found a tenant for the summer. Got back from class one day and there was just a random girl that had moved into the empty bedroom. And maybe my complaints aren't as big a deal for other people, but it is the last week of April and if you go to their FB page, you can see they are desperately trying to fill rooms. First it was a gift card for people who filled a 4-bedroom. Now it's a gift card for anybody that signs a lease with them... I think the general consensus is to avoid this place if you can.

I have lived here for two years. I have enjoyed my stay. The rent is high so I’m glad to be graduating and moving out. The office staff are really nice and management is great and quick when you need help. Parking is annoying but it’s not a big deal.

I have lived here for 2 and a half years and have loved my time here. The only reason I am leaving is because I am graduating in the spring. The apartments are well maintained and very nice. The maintenance staff have also been very quick to respond to any problems I have had. The office staff have also been amazing and have gone above and beyond anytime I have needed something. I highly recommend moving in.

Most definitely not worth the price. Not to mention parking is an additional 50 dollars to rent. I paid for a parking spot and my car still got towed from its spot because my parking tag was on the floor instead of on the dash. I had a parking decal and was in my spot but they still towed me and I had to drive 30 miles and pay 120 to get my car back. When I told uwalk they only gave me a partial reimbursement after Almost a week of arguing. Also had my car scratched and egged two separate times while parked here and management did nothing. The fire alarms have gone off in the middle of the night 2 or 3 times. The walls are super thin and you can hear people above you and next to you. Found myself paying a 60$ fee one month with no description as to what it’s for. If you’re gonna pay 750 for living you can most definitely find somewhere nicer than here

It's not a bad place to live. I haven't had any issues with neighbors being too loud, and staff is friendly and helpful. I just think they charge way too much. Being in "walking distance" to campus is technically true, but you're walking a mile just to get to the library, so it's a very long walk. Paying for a reserved spot is very expensive and just not worth it in my opinion, and the closest lot is three blocks away. One time my boyfriend put his hazards on outside my apartment to help me unload and put away groceries and by the time we got back outside his car had been towed. It's a nice place to live but they just charge too much to be right next to a train and so far from campus.
