We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. We may collect personally identifiable information when you visit our site. We also automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information and the page(s) you visited. We will not sell your personally identifiable information to anyone.

Your payment and personal information is always safe. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet. Refunds for payments made inadvertently are available upon request.

Our security deposit is a flat $500. Deposits are held until tenant moves out, at which time they are fully refundable assuming the unit is restored to its previous condition (normal wear & tear excepted) and no money is owed. Deposits are not ever applied to a month's rent (i.e. - it is not your first or last month's rent).

The tenant pays City of Ames (electric, water, & sewer) and Alliant Energy (gas). We pay snow removal, lawn care, cable, internet, and garbage.

No, one benefit of living here if you have a pet is no deposit or pet rent is required.

Generally all of our properties are a 5-10 minute bus ride to campus.

All of our properties have open parking, this is nice when having people over to your unit. Our lots are large so finding a spot in your unit's parking lot is not an issue.

Generally, our response time is very quick. With a team of full and part time employees we pride ourselves on responding to our tenants in a timely manner. With over 900 units, we do have a priority list, but you will find our desire to keep our apartments nice and well maintained is second to none. During the month of August, the maintenance list is longer than other months, so recognize we are making our way around in order of priority/severity of the issue needing attention.
