North Side Yard

I've lived in apartment buildings scattered across the county and have to say this was the best. I lived here for two years and had no notable issues, and the usual apartment maintenance issues were resolved quickly. My 90lb boxer/lab mix was comfortable here as well and loved the elevator rides for making friends with new folks. I think my favorite apartment feature was the climate control, especially in the summer. Having the apt (for relatively cost-effective energy bills) at a crisp and dry 68 degrees during humid 90-degree summer days was wonderful. The appliances were modern and caused zero problems. The two-in-one washer/dryer unit took some getting used to, but once I figured out to do smaller wash loads I ended up liking the ability to toss stuff in and go about my day without having to think about it. Oh, and the high vaulted ceilings were a nice touch too. My one-bedroom felt twice its size. The location is pretty sweet too, the campus is essentially the dividing line between the downtown area – which has restaurants, bars and shops (including a pet store I’d take my dog to a few times a week) – and a residential neighborhood (mostly owner-occupied). A five-minute walk to the west is the Wisconsin River and Green Circle trail. Next door is the Great Northern Distillery which would often have live music. Beyond that, closer to the river, are the city’s event bandshell. Really, the location couldn’t be better. As far as apartment complex life goes, this was the best experience I’ve had by a wide margin. The property manager runs a tight ship and the maintenance folks are great to work with. If I hadn’t moved in with my girlfriend a few blocks away I’d have gladly signed a lease for a third year.

Simply put the property managers do not care about the tenants. If you have a problem (and you will) you have a 40% chance that your work order is responded to. If you want to be certain that you will always be able to get into the building this is not the place for you as they key fabs stopped working entirely for all residents more than once during my year here. If privacy/security mean anything to you it’s best to turn far away from here. The amount of times the property manager visited without the 24 hour notice agreed upon in the lease was disgusting. Ultimately I wish I had lived in a hotel for that year….it would have been cheaper, less problematic, and less stressful to myself and my family. Side note PLEASE be cautious if you have kids/pets. This place claims to be pet friendly but I have not found that in my experience.

Beautiful, modern apartments in a good location. Maintenance requests are handled quickly and professionally, the staff are all extremely helpful, and the fitness center and courtyard are great amenities!

The apartments are extremely modern and nice. Tall ceilings. Locked entrances so it is safe. The landlords and maintenance crew are really quick to respond and are very pleasant.

North side yard is an amazing and overall safe area to live. The management is amazing and other tenants are very kind. The location is nice with many places and things to do. I recommend to anyone looking for a nice space to call home in the stevens point area

I moved into my unit at North Side Yard two months ago, and am so far very satisfied. The management team is attentive, the property is clean and safe, and they clearly invested in high-quality materials and appliances. Compared to other rental properties in town, this property is more expensive and offers less space - however, North Side Yard certainly offers something unique, and the location cannot be beat.

Extremely helpful staff and very friendly neighbors. My dog has even made friends! I strongly recommend anyone looking for a new place, to come here!

I moved into North Side Yard last month, and I have been super pleased living here so far. First off, management has been amazing and major shoutouts to Dallas for being super helpful and responsive. Located in downtown Stevens Point, NSY is minutes away from the UWSP campus and so much more. Since it’s newly built, everything is clean and maintained well. I love my unit with a beautiful kitchen island and high ceilings. This place is also pet friendly which is a bonus!
