Tradition Pointe,

1103 Southwest 28th Street, Ankeny, IA 50023

"I initially sublet between selling, purchasing a house and extended for 6 months while still searching. FREE internet. FREE Direct TV. FREE Aspen membership. FREE underground parking that helps with the winters. Close to "The District". Great Maintenance Department. More amenities than others of comparable price!"

"Updated review, post-move out: I lived at Tradition Pointe from 2014-2022. In the seven years that my partner lived here, we've had several issues, from neighbors to maintenance. Plan on your AC breaking every other year, if not every year. You'll need to be a strong advocate to get them to listen to you about getting things fixed but they'll eventually listen if you're a strong advocate about it. There's a fair amount of door slamming (all year round) but it's normal apartment living. HUGE shoutout and kudos to Brady with maintenance. He's worked tirelessly and advocated for our HVAC unit (and a couple of other minor things that, again, come with apartment living) and has been nothing but a gem to work with. In the years we lived there, I think there were 3 (maybe 4?) different managers and assistant managers - so there's a LOT of turnover. Because of that, apparently there aren't records kept. So don't expect to get any of your deposit back. Keep meticulous records and photos of EVERYTHING - back up all of the emails and messages you receive through the apartment portal because you'll lose access to that immediately when your contract ends so if that's where your written confirmation is, you're unable to use that to back up any claims. If you want to see any of your $500 deposit back, get it all in writing twice and take extensive pictures at move-in (including a picture of your move-in walk through form)."

"With the cost of living on the constant rise, living here makes it hard to move anywhere else. FREE water, garbage, sewer, cable, internet, heated underground garage is awesome for Iowa's freezings temps. Don't get me started on the great appliances that just make living here that much better. Yes apartment living can suck, but Tradition Pointe most def has all the positives for apartment living."

"They are super helpful and very quick to reply to any questions I have. It's a little inconvenient that the office is a 12 minute drive away, but it's doable. They keep the building very clean. The one complaint I do have is that the walls are pretty thin and I can hear my neighbors frequently. I can make out what they are saying. Also, I would much rather have only one sliding door to the balcony as noise passes right through the door in our bedroom. This apartment was the perfect location for us while we are attending DMACC."
