The Yards

"I really enjoyed my tour. The facility and staff are excellent. I’m highly considering The Yards as my future home."

"DO NOT MOVE HERE. They are scam artist who tried to overcharge me for "damages" after I moved out of this apartment. They tried to charge me $150 for a screen door replacement that never existed when I moved in. They also are trying to charge me $140 for a pet carpet sanitization when I never even owned a pet! The parking lot is always full due to events, its loud during the summer, people come and party here and leave the place trashed all the time. Car break ins are real and present here. They have minimal security. Do yourself a favor and move somewhere else."

"I moved here about 1 year ago and my car got broken into the first time and stolen the second time, in daylight from the parking lot. I'm trying to move but of course they wont let me break the lease because "my car is not their problem" literal used words by the manager. disgusting"

"I will do you a huge favor and encourage you NOT TO MOVE HERE, I can't stress this enough, you car will ABSOLUTELY get broken into, cause it happens to every neighbor, with no exception and the office will not care, that's a fact. My house got broken into, and can you take a guess? They did not care, if you are a young woman this is not the place for you. Don't let them fool you into the nice kitchens, and nice layout, you or your car will not be safe at his apartment. Management is terrible and they make sure your problems are just yours. They do not care about safety or really anything. DO NOT MOVE HERE and thank me later"

"The Yards is hands-down my favorite apartment complex I have lived in. I was one of the first residents to move into the new building, and I would have stayed had I not moved out of state. The location is great with plenty of bars and restaurants across the street. Also walking distance to the HyVee arena and convenience stores. Coming from the heart of downtown, I thought the night life wouldn't compare, but the West Bottoms has such a vibrant culture. The residents I met during my time there were considerate and always happy to lend a helping hand. The staff are outstanding. Not only are they quick to respond to requests, but they also go out of their way to do little things that make a big difference- like putting away packages in the secure lockers that the carriers did not. Location and community were my two biggest draws to The Yards, but besides that the apartments are new so they have up-to-date appliances and finishes. Amenities are great as well, some of my favorites being the pool, gym, vending machines, dog park/spa and coffee bar. The only downsides about the apartment were the noise level from some of the bars and the parking situation, but these were both out of management's control. The covered garage is great, but there were some instances of theft from cars around the building and the West Bottoms in general. What really shows is how The Yards has handled the seriousness of the situation. They don't own the parking garage (its owned by the city), but they were able to get more police and security to patrol both the garage and surrounding areas. The effort from the community is amazing and is what really makes a difference in the place you live. 100% recommend the Yards if you are thinking of living here."
