Property Ratings at Ironwood
I have no complaints! The staff is always so nice and efficient! The apartment last are cleaned weekly to keep the complex clean! The pool is always a nice place to relax after a long day of work!
We have almost 5 month and I don’t have nothing negative about these condos. Honestly the place are really soft, friendly and nice. All amenities that you need, they have. The best part it’s the pool and the grocery store near.
My experience so far is great, expectations are on point. I like the fact that my neighbors are peaceful and our floor is quiet. Yeah, I love it!!
We've been here for just over 2 months now and we absolutely love it! Lots of room to walk my dog with poop stations everywhere! The apartment is perfect for us and the neighbors are all very friendly. The staff is amazing! Very nice, quick to respond to requests and always very friendly. I love the shared garage option, much cheaper and affordable. I just wanted it because it's Iowa and hail is always a threat. Before I added the garage to my lease though, I was amazed at the ample parking. We never had to walk far to get to the car and the shared garages are at each end of the building, so we still don't have to walk far. So much to love about Ironwood and the staff!
Management is near impossible to work with. There is no compassion from them when bringing concerns to their attention. For three months I was told to deal with the issue I’ve been having. Im not trying to dog on them but it’s making living here very difficult.
Ironwood is a great place to live, apartments are very spacious every here are always so kind and lovely,it’s a wonderful community to be a part of.
Fantastic place with great amenities, wonderful staff and fantastic neighbors!!! As well as being close to a number of fantastic places that make living there quite convenient
I absolutely love ironwood. There’s so many different amenities and they do fun little activities at the community house, such as taco trucks.
The property is clean and well kept. The staff responds quickly and they are always courteous. The swimming pool is checked several times a day to keep it healthy and fun.
A great place to live. Quite building. Very nice neighborhood. Very nice neighbors as well. The best apartment in Altoona. I would recommend this community to anyone
Overall, I have had a GREAT experience at Ironwood Apts over the past 2 1/2 years! The office staff, and maintenance staff have been helpful, pleasant and very efficient. Can't really complain about anything! Thanks to you all!!
I would like to say it has been nice living here, everyone has been nice that I have encountered. The neighborhood has been quite. The staff has been helpful, and very quick if you need something done in your apartment.

Thank you for this fantastic review! We are happy to hear that our leasing staff and maintenance team have been able to assist you!
I had a maintenance issue and Derek was on it. Such a nice crew. It's a great community. I haven't been able to join in on many of the activities because of prior commitment but I am looking forward to meeting more neighbors.
Property Manager at Ironwood, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing this great review! We are so glad that Derek was able to assist you and we are happy to hear you are loving where you live!
Love it very clean and very peaceful. Love the fact when you call to request maintenance to fix something they do it with no problem. Girls at the office very nice
I have been here for over 5 years. For the most part the neighborhood as well as the complex has been a great place to live. I feel very safe. They are very nice spacious apts. The maintenance team gets back to you in a very timely manner.
I’ve had 2 experiences so far needing maintenance. It’s been a great experience both times. Arriving in a timely manner and pleasant with it. Never having to wait even 24 hrs before getting great service! Thank u!
Ironwood has been a great place for my wife and I to start our new marriage. We had a lot of concerns with living in an apartment, some of which can’t be avoided, but Ironwood has done a great job making our apartment feel like home. The property is beautiful, maintained well, and stuffed full of amenities for its residents. I’ve loved my time here.
We have enjoyed living here for 6 years. For apartment life it is generally quiet in our building. Many in our building have lived here for a while and we look out for each other. Maintenance is responsive. Sometimes we have food trucks. There is a monthly, Thank You Thursday, when you can stop in the office for a special treat. And fun contests to participate in.
my experience about ironwood is really comfortable, spacious place, warm welcome. living conditions are perfectly pleasant. experiencing here at ironwood is choosing a better way to live.
I recently move to ironwood apartments and I'm loving every bit of it. The apartments are large and spacious for the comfort of you and your loved ones. The environment is equally quiet and very secure. Join our community and you will not regret your decision. Welcome to luxury living with iron wood.
Overall a great place to live, the office staff is friendly and super helpful. They answer any and all questions and/or concerns you may have in a timely and respectful manner. However, the person who runs the emergency maintenance line after hours, will deem almost everything as "not an emergency" to get out of doing work on weekends.
Maintenance is fast and efficient. Neighbors are great. The property also makes sure the ice melt is out and the parking lot is plowed when there is winter weather.
Everyone was supper friendly and helpful as we toured, completed the application and started the move in process. So far, we are very happy that we chose Ironwood as our new home!
We love living at Ironwood apartments! The amenities are amazing we love going to the pool in the summer and the gym is so nice! Our family has enjoyed living there so much!
The apartment is a place of comfortability. I love this area. It is very quiet and everything is functional. If I see someone looking for a place to dwell, I will strongly recommend any of your apartment complex.
I have no complaints! The staff is always so nice and they are quick to help if there is ever an issue. I love living here! I would recommend living here to anyone!
I love it here! Living here has been a great experience! Love the staff and love the neighborhood! Couldn’t ask for a better home! I am so excited to see what ironwood has in store for me and my son!
For an apartment complex the Ironwood team seem to try to do their best to accommodate the tenants. You need to remember it is am apartment though.
So far great. However I do see a need for more handicap parking. Our spots are always full. I seen a lady struggling to get to door the other day. I appreciate that you ask us for opinions. Staff is great and friendly.
So far so good. The level of customer service from the leasing office was superb. And they also provide a great deal os support. The state of the appartment was also in a very good condition. So far everything is thumps up. However, it took me a long time to figure where the wifi router is.
So far my experience is good, I feel welcome by the staffs and the service is top notch. I am actually feeling at home right now, and I am grateful for that.
Love living here. The walls are thin just like any other apartment but you will have luxury and space to more around. The amenities are good as well.
Great staff great maintenance amazing amenities very nice apartments definitely would recommend if you are looking for a nice apartment this its definitely the one
This is a very nice complex. The staff are personable and easy to work with. There is a very nice park right next door with a new pickle ball court. It's very quiet. I have never had issues with the Internet that is included in your rent.
We love living at Ironwood & have lived here for over six years. The Office Staff & Maintenance are so friendly & helpful. Any problems are fixed in a timely manner & we appreciate that so much. We would recommend Ironwood to any of our family & friends.
Overall love the new place , very spacious and very welcoming looking forward to living here for a bit environment is wonderful and couldn't have chosen anywhere better to live thanks ironwood!
It's a good place to live, some small things here and there, but overall good. I've been here for almost 3 years and no regrets! Noise can be a small issue but not too much. The price has increased every year and based on the website the single bedroom apartment is not a great deal anymore compared to the 2 bed apartment, but that is the only hangup I can think of.
Friendly leasing agent. Clean facilities, maintenance staff is great when you have something needing fixed. Parking is spacious. Building is kept clean.
I loved loving at Ironwood, I would recommend anyone to live here. They are very quiet, clean and great office, and maintenance people when you need help with anything.
I enjoy living here. I have renewed my lease and am looking forward to another year here. I have good neighbors and anyone else I have met in my building has always been very pleasant and respectful.
Absolutely amazing! Fast responses and very friendly staff! They have great amenities ! They have a pool, in unit washer and dryers, and a 24/7 gym. Over all a great place to live.
so far I love iron wood apartments had only one little complaint but it wasn’t a big deal and the staff took care of it right away! I had just moved in just a little over 3 weeks ago and I love it here so far a perfect apartment for me and my baby and bf!
Everyone I have met so far sounds very friendly, and where I live now feels very ‘homey’. No noise complaints since I have moved in and great community of people.
the clubhouse(leasing office) has tons of fun events for the residents, the maintenance is always fast acting, both the interior & exterior of buildings are well maintained as well as the playground & pool, the staff is very friendly, i have never had a problem receiving packages but there are also pickup options available which is neat to give people more peace of mind!
Still waiting to become a resident. No furniture yet. Waiting for all repairs also. Derek has been awesome. I can't wait to get in and meet new people. The gym looks nice.
Like the space. Sometimes noisy neighbors but overall I like the amenities offered. Maintenance comes quickly. Raising prices is common but I think they’re working on improvements.
Have enjoyed our apartment the last 2 years! Layout is great! Nice clean buildings! Neighbors are friendly! Love how it is so pet friendly and have an area for our dogs to run!
Muy agradable y acogedor transmite muy buena energía los apartamentos sus alrededores son limpios y la atención que brindan en la oficina es excepcional
Great place to live. The neighborhood is quiet .Lots of walking and bike trails. You are right next to a nice park with a new pickle ballcourt. Management listens to your complaints and tries to correct as soon as they can
