The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, it’s a good and quiet place to live. The environment is peaceful, and I’ve generally had a positive experience. However, the cleanliness could be improved at times, and the tanning beds have been out of service since March.

I have loved my time living at The Social! The maintenance staff are always helpful and kind, along with the leasing staff. My apartment was completely clean and spotless on my move-in day, which made my move-in a lot less stressful! Highly recommend checking out this community!

It is great living here, nice little community and good proximity to all of the important spots in Ames. Having bus stops right by the apartments is very convenient as well.

Thanks for the kind words! We're glad to hear you're enjoying The Social West Ames. We appreciate your feedback on the convenient location and bus stops.
My mom said I’d get a renovated apartment since that is what they told her. It wasn’t really renovate as it’s shown online, I’m guessing that’s why they wouldn’t allow us to look at the actual property before hand because we wanted to get measurements for my furniture. No issues with maintenance coming when I send a request. But poor insulation when it’s cold out. Other than that this is a fine complex.
Property Manager at The Social West Ames®, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing your experience User. We strive to provide accurate information and photos online and are sorry to hear that the renovation didn’t meet your expectations. We encourage you to share specific details about the renovation with us at thesocialwestames@trinity-pm.com so we can investigate further. We are happy to hear you are satisfied with the maintenance team. We are always looking for ways to improve our community and appreciate your feedback!
Facilities are decent. People are quiet. For a place that calls itself the social, there isn’t a lot going on here. I like the gym. But it needs some cleaning and upkeep.
Property Manager at The Social West Ames®, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback User. We appreciate you highlighting the positive aspects of the gym, and we are always looking for ways to improve our amenities. We're glad you find the community quiet and respectful, and we strive to create a comfortable living environment for all our residents.

Don’t like that I had to come in to a place and clean and have to put in like 10 work orders, with the amount of rent u pay I expected to move in without doing extra work as I got or before

Excellent time living here for three years. As I am about to graduate, I can't think of another complex that offers the amount of amenities while being as cost efficient.
Property Manager at The Social West Ames®, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you've had a positive experience at The Social West Ames for the past three years. We strive to offer a community with top-notch amenities and value, and we appreciate you recognizing those efforts. We wish you all the best in your next chapter!
Overall, it’s a fine place to live. Close to school and work with bus stops near if you don’t want to walk. Office workers are somewhat helpful, but it really depends. Maintenance workers are great but if you submit a request they take a while to get to you but I think that’s more the managers fault. Rent is reasonably priced compared to other places in Ames, so you are really paying for what you get if you get a not so great apartment. Some apartments can get drafty and cold because the windows are poorly insulated but if you put plastic film on the inside during the winter it’s fine. Also have had issues with the water lines for the washer freezing in cold weather in some units and maintenance’s solution was a small space heater pointed towards the lines.

The maintenance does not fix anything in a timely manner. The staff always says something different each time you call. The pools are closed often. The staff doesn’t really care about the residents it feels like.

I’ve enjoyed living here for the past 2 years! I think the team is nice and helpful. The amenities are pretty nice, but sometimes closed. Our apartment is next to a bus stop and busy street, so it gets noisy. I do enjoy the west Ames location! Overall, it’s a great, cheap college/first apartment!

The maintenance are absolutely the slowest people to do anything, my shower broke and then got fixed and then broke again a month later and both times it took atleast 4 days and multiple calls to fix it. My sink sprayer broke, got fixed, and then broke within a few days. Otherwise I think the apartment is nice and the staff are fairly understanding, when my bill was unusually high I was credited and the events they hold are pretty cool.

The office staff worked hard to get us in on time. It would make five stars if the hallways did not smell like cigarettes and if we did not smell some weird type of fish smell.

I enjoy living at Social West Ames. It’s fairly priced and the amenities are great. The only complaints I have are regarding noise and occasional difficulty paying rent. I live in Steinbeck right near South Dakota Ave, so it gets very loud with cars and buses. For paying rent, sometimes extra fees are strangely added on that I have to work with the office to get removed and it occasionally deletes my payment info which takes a bit to set back up. Other than these things, I think it’s a good first/college apartment with good amenities.

Maintenence requests are fixed in a timely manner and utilities are nice. Walls are also thick so you cannot hear your neighbors much. Events hosted by the complex happen with little warning, so they are hard to attend.

Been pretty disappointed with how concerns are being handled. Haven’t been able to get straight answers or many things done. Hoping things improve soon.
Love the amenities and the apartment. I wish that maintenance was faster when we have issues that need to be addressed quickly such as an AC that went out at the end of June when it was 90 degrees outside.

When moving here I was extremely nervous to live with a stranger and in a town that I barely know. I was matched with a nice and quiet roommate and have been slowly getting to know the town better.

The apartment complex has nice amenities. The rooms are spacious. I also like the garage feature. The problem areas, maintenance and updating the units. The staff are about average, nothing special about the team.

Maintenance came fast for the few requests we made. The gym is pretty nice and available 24/7. I've never been to any, but The Social always posts community events for residents to go to. My one complaint was the amount of spiders in my apartment.

Maintenance is frustratingly slow but otherwise the experience has been fine enough. I put in a request to fix something over two weeks ago and it has yet to be fixed or even recieve any communication regarding it. Besides that though, rent is affordable and the location while far from campus is fairly quiet and the rooms are quite sizable.

Such a fun and clean living space. I have enjoyed my time so far and I can’t wait to see how else this goes. I love the amenities that are offered
It’s my first year here at the social wear Ames. My favorite thing so far about Steinbeck specifically has been the small community. Everyone in my building is very sweet and kind.
