Alta Apartments 1850 North University Avenue, Provo, UT 84604

"Alta is a great place to live. One of the cheapest rents in Provo for single housing. There’s no B.S. The management is very relaxed so long as you maintain a clean apartment. Problems are resolved very quickly. Never had an issue with hot water or other amenities (which I have heard is an issue for some complexes). Good honest housing."

"Alta has lovely well maintained grounds and a great pool. It was the best place I had ever lived when I moved in, but the new management has a very different tone than the old folks. Their management style suggests RAs in Freshman housing policing teens who can’t live on their own. Every email announcing new mattress cover and trash rules has a condescending, even threatening tone (“plants and chairs are the only permitted items on the balconies or you’ll be fined” that sort of thing). They’ve started booting non-permit cars at midnight, when the old management always waited until 1 or 2 so visitors would have time to leave. The worst part is relentless 9am cleaning checks every month. The management is respectful and not especially harsh in their checks, but requiring adult residents with full time jobs, travel schedules, and lives outside of Alta to plan one weekend a month around passing a cleaning check of their own bedrooms is deeply frustrating. Again, when I was a freshman who had never lived away from home in on-campus housing, cleaning checks made sense. But at some stage of life adults should be given the autonomy to keep their own apartments clean."

"I have really enjoyed living at Alta. The location is really convenient as far as getting getting to Orem or downtown Provo. It's also not far from the BYU bus which is nice considering it is about a 30 min walk to the main part of campus. I liked my ward a lot and I've heard great things about the other ward as well. The rec room was super nice to use for events and I also loved having a volleyball court. Management was responsive the few times I needed them and cleaning checks were very chill which I appreciated. I don't love that the laundry machines only accept quarters- those were always hard to track down. Overall I think these apartments are some of the best value you can find for the price. …and the chances of you finding love while living here is extremely high. I saw it happen an abnormal amount."

"I really have enjoyed living at Alta!! There is a pool, basketball court, and volleyball court. The ward is very social. I felt included right when I moved in. It has been my favorite place to live. Cleaning checks are easy as long as you clean. I have had no problems with management. They are very easy to get a hold of. It is close to the Stadium and Marriott center, which is awesome if you love going to the games. There is noise, but it is not horrible. Parking is amazing. There is so much, which never happens in Provo. Overall, living at Alta is the BEST and you should totally consider it."

"Though the apartments are older, they are still very nice. It has updated bedding and different appliances. I've lived at Alta for about 7 months now, and they've been really great at fixing things and making sure we stay on top of cleaning checks. It is right next to the stadium, but it's not bad if you have noise cancelling headphones, or you just learn to live with it. It's really a great apartment, and there are great wards! It's kind of in the middle of things, so going anywhere in Provo isn't that hard. I've really been loving my experience here!"
