Living there was fine. I stayed there for about 6 months on a sublease. There was a few broken windows and repairs were slow, but the staff were friendly. I had a very, very frustrating experience with the leasing office, though. I was looking to take over someone’s lease for the following school year and both of us were trying to get the office to send me over an email to get it finalized. After a month of them saying they would send it over that week and then getting nothing, the manager texted me saying they had someone else that wanted the space and offered me a different room. I said that was fine, but was confused because the girl I tried to take the lease over for hadn’t heard anything about this. A few days later, they filled both the room I had beef trying to get for a month and the other one they offered me, then tried to get me to take one that was $200 more a month than the room I was trying to get. I’m beyond frustrated and tired of this and trying to find a place to live if I don’t want to stop looking for work for this Fall, now, because that wasn’t what I agreed to.

Hopelessly terrible living conditions. Maintenance does not care about fixing any issues- apparently there is not a single plumber available in Lawrence so they can’t order one. 😂😂

My child lives in a 4-student apartment on the bottom floor, partially in a basement. The bathroom tub/shower has a significant hole in the ceiling where the above apartment tub drain leaks through the ceiling and into the bathroom. I've spoken to management after there was slow response to a plumbing work order. The toilet is usable during an emergency but you get to stare at your above neighbor's dripping gunk. I won't gross you out with pictures. I helped my student move in to the apartment in August 2025 and thankfully we took plenty of pictures at that time. I was appalled at the minimum bar of quality acceptable at the community. The whole place smelled awful, carpets looked very drab and overall the place looked beat up. My child was paying a little higher rent elsewhere but wanted to help me save $ for rent. My student never inspected ahead of time but went on a visit to a friend staying there and had a pleasant visit at the same complex. I would love to give this place a better rating and surely something can be done so current or future tenants never have this experience. If I was a manager at this property, my heart would break in this situation and even scratch up enough of my own hard earned money to make the condition more pleasant. I would look at it first hand and definitely give a huge apology. Hopefully this will all be rectified so the next students will have better living conditions. This makes me think there must be dynamics behind the scenes that affect this situation I described. For example, plumbers are scarce in Lawrence or at least ones under contract. Drywall contractors are hard to find. Budget is tight to enable the affordable rent, etc.
Nothing but professional office staff! We as parents appreciate being treated with respect and professionalism. Thank you!

Hawks Pointe 1 is a cozy multi complex close to campus with multiple bus routes running to and from campus. Staff is very friendly and holds multiple events to engage with their residents! Newly remodeled office, workout and resource centers are a plus for new residents. They Rock🤘Mailman Mike🤘
