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.

The price of the rent is reasonable, but you will have to consider things such as the apartment itself. I wouldn't personally consider it luxury, but if you are okay with a average apartment and a younger crowd and what that experience brings, then its okay.
I relocated to willows just one week back and I found this place very amazing. Community is very peaceful and the apartment staff is so good and kind. They responded quickly for any sought of queries or issues. Im enjoying my stay here so far

The place is going down hill. Especially with COVID 19 rampant in the community. There's no respect for the community
The professionalism of Willows staff is remarkable. They make the process easy.

Nothing but crap since Bells Inc took over. They did nonstop construction on the non even 2yr old buildings for over 6 months while we were living here. Loud ridiculous banging 6 days a week. Now they are painting the practically brand new buildings. Told us they would be painting mon-sat that's a lie. The crew is here bright and early on a Sunday waking everyone up. Terrible neighborhood, there's 8 people living in the apt above me including 4 KIDS. It always smells like weed around the complex. And they won't compensate you when you are stuck living with noisy neighbors. This place is trash.
This community is absolutely amazing ! The management and staff are so helpful and on top of everything! I love being here !
Property Manager at Willows at the University, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much! We hope to always create an environment that you are happy to call home!
Excellent floor plans with all new appliances and features! Absolutely love living here because of the quiet community and willingness of management to help when needed!
Property Manager at Willows at the University, Responded To This Review
We are always here to help however we can! We truly appreciate you as a resident!
Awesome quite place to live with convenience. Convenient to local shops and stores and only about 15 minutes from UPTOWN. Open modern concepts with great balcony views. Nic grey granted countertops with modern cabinets. Open floor plan with a huge bathroom with great lighting. Updated Samsung appliances including the washer and Dyer! Two great dog parks to let your fur babies run free at with benches and some obstacle things in them. The gym is clean and has all the right machines and weights for my workout bonus is the TVs in front of the equipment!
Management is looking to make an extra buck off of residents through towing. They tow people on minor offenses like being a little over the line. I am a resident and i don’t have a decal because i just bought a new car. I was only parked in visitor parking for 3 days and they towed me. It’s an initial fee of 225$ plus 30$ for each day it sits. I called management and the only thing they could say to me was “ you’re just unlucky”. Very disappointed.
We all want to know why we are being towed left and right - day after day. One resident was towed because he parked over the line. People we told to have their registration up to date or they would be towed the next day. There’s not enough parking so residents park in visitors spaces leaving visitors to get towed. People are searching their leases trying to find where it mentioned the excessive towing practice. Not to many of us are renewing based on this last straw item. We are still dealing with the excessive noise issue - you can hear every neighbors moves, toilet, washing machine, shower, footsteps and music. But the place has new appliances and finishes - though the finishing could have been better. And now people leave their garbage outside of their apartments for days with no garbage pick up. Ughhhhhhhh
Property Manager at Willows at the University, Responded To This Review
Hi, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us. In an effort to provide our residents with ample parking, we enforce a strict towing policy that prohibits double-parking and prevents unauthorized vehicles from parking within the community. I assure you, there is no financial gain related to towing. We also offer a 30-day extension for residents with expired registration. There is a section of the Lease Agreement that lists all the reasons why a vehicle may be towed; if you need help with finding this section of the Lease please let us know and we would be happy to review it with you. Leaving bags of trash in the breezeways is not allowed, please report violations to the Leasing Office and we will address the situation immediately. If you have any other questions or if there is anything else we can do to improve your living experience, please contact the Leasing Office at 980-430-1411.
I LOVE my complex! The office staff is incredible, Rachel is ALWAYS kind and always helpful. Everyone in the community is super nice and dog friendly; it really puts a smile on my face everyday.Being an Interior Designer I truly appreciate the clean modern touches to my brand new apartment. This is the best place I have ever lived!

Hi, we are so happy to read such a great review about Willows at the University! Our team strives to deliver an excellent experience, and are glad you found this to be the case during your visit. If you have further needs or questions, please reach out!
I would give less stars if possible but it’s not. The apartment complex is nice but don’t be fooled. Management is a nightmare. Don’t for one second think that if you follow their rules and regulations that it won’t still end in a violation. The way they handle business around here is messy. Don’t even get me started on the towing situation. I know a lot of ppl have private towing companies but how do you have your towing company comply with you blatantly picking on the residents you have an issue with and getting their cars towed. This establishment is unprofessional as a whole. I couldn’t be more excited for my lease to almost be up.

Management works with Trust towing company to tow residents cars for minor offenses. Fee to release vehicle is $225. This happens on a weekly basis as I know 3 other residents this has happened to.

To be the first person to move in and live is the BEST feeling in the world. Staff is WONDERFUL in helping with issues or concerns. They get right on it. The environment is so nice to walk my babies with convenient dog stations. I love my apartment, lots and lots of room. Most of my neighbors be leaving out when I leave to go to work. I LOVE IT!!! ????????
