Hallm_7 said:Hey guys,
Just gonna let you all know that I just got back from Toledo after looking at apartments for a couple days. I finally chose Heather Hills after two days of driving around and taking tours. It's $574/month with gas, water, and trash removal included. It has a washer and dryer in the unit, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and balcony. Before travelling up and seeing the different places I had decided to spend $450-500 per month, but I found Heather Hills and loved it. It had everything I wanted, was in a really nice area, and is kept up very well. If anyone has questions about it or any other suggestions just ask.
sfbear said:It looks like I'll be heading out to Toledo either late June 11th or early the 12th. If anyone wants to meet up for dinner or something (maybe that Monday?) let me know. Also, I'll be looking at a bunch of apartments (don't have my list compiled just yet, though) and I'd be happy to check out places for people because, hey, i might end up living there too. so nyc, if no one gets back to you before then i'll check it out and see what people say.
neuronerd said:Hi, I think that June 10th - 12th is the best time for me to go to Toledo also. Out of the ones on the internet, I like the Heather Hills apts the best and if there's already two of you guys living there . . .I'm really interested in moving there so we can support each other. Exciting. I'm going to buy my tickets either tonight or tomorrow for those dates so sfbear, if you and your husband are in town maybe we can meet up and compare apts etc.
Two more months guys!!

When exactly is the snowy season and how long does it last?
neuronerd said:So I was going to make the big drive to Ohio tonight but my driving partner flaked out on me so I'm going to drive to Ohio next week.
I have a couple places that I looked at online and I was wondering if there is anyone who went to these places and what did they think. Here's what I though while looking on internet. Sorry if things like this have been posted, I didn't read it all. . .
Williamsburg of Toledo-gives 20 bucks discount a month to students for 527 a month w/o washer/dryer
Vantage Villa-cheap and close to school
Swan Park- ?
Country Club Apartments at Inver West- furnished apartments for 600 bucks a month, in unit washer dryer, carport, the works . . . they said that a lot of MCO students live there and also some faculty. Can anyone confirm??
Thanks guys, any advice would be appreciated. I asked the admissions office to send me the housing information but I'm not sure when it'll get here.

Hallm_7 said:That's awesome! I actually think we talked about you quite a bit. Are you the one that wanted the third floor apartment? It's looking like I'm going to be moving into what is now the model apartment. At the end of July they're moving the model to the unit above the office, so they gave me the unit it is in now. I really loved that complex, and I can't wait to move in either. I won't move up until the first of August, but when I do I'll be sure to get in touch with you.
what about the apartments across the street from MCO? how much are they? are they nice?
Vomitonme said:Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Haven't gotten anything as of yet. Did they say they would be sen tout mid-June or we would receive them mid-June? Either way, they're pretty slow about this stuff.
The date June 27th is sticking out in my mind--I believe that they will be mailed out that day.
bananachip said:what's wrong with apartments? who said they steal stuff?
its toledo...how bad can it be? I dont see the point of driving to school in snow from 15 minutes away if i can live right there.

bananachip said:and i saw some guy washing his porsche SUV in the parking lot, so i guess i thought it was a decent place.
Hallm_7 said:Is it just me or is seeing a Porsche SUV in an apartment parking lot that leases for $350/month a little suspect? That may have been the best indicator as to what type of "businessmen" live there....
bananachip said:yeah they havent sent us anything. I need to know if I need a car because, i dont have one and i can't afford one, haha.
I've been MIA for a while, sorry. I live in the condos next to Heather Hills (at Reynolds & Heatherdowns) right off of the turnpike. As far as commute goes, I live in a better area than right next to school and it's 2.5 miles away. If I hit every light red, it takes about 12 minutes. I haven't had any safety issues, either.bananachip said:what's wrong with apartments? who said they steal stuff?

alanlee said:Who = two Toledo Police officers I spoke with while I was looking at where to live. They explicitly told me that there's a strong correlation between # of break-ins and drug activity, and there's increased drug activity near Southwyck Mall.
I'll agree that Toledo isn't nearly as bad as some other cities (Detroit, parts of Cincinnati and Cleveland, etc.), but as Hallm_7 said, I'd rather live somewhere where I don't have to worry about my apartment/car being broken into.
Vomitonme said:neuronerd
Thanks for the heads up about the different places. Did you check out any of these apartments?
Amhurst
Heathergate Club Apartments
Southwyck Park Apartments
