The property is extremely well kept. If I ever had an issue, maintenance/ staff would be on it ASAP. Leasing staff was friendly and very attentive. Sad they don't have properties in Chicago - I'd lease again without question!

DON'T RENT HERE! I'd give 0 starts if I could. This company truly aims to scam college students out of their security deposit. As if 12 months of rent can't cover cleaning between tenants, which they should be doing anyway. They want to charge because the carpets weren't completely vacuumed to their...

Out of all the places I have seen and heard of on campus Roland is hands down the best, especially the best for your money. They have great facilities, a pool, and the staff is awesome and easy to work with in addition to being located right on first street and available all the time.

I lived in 909 S First (studio) for one year. It was more spacious of a studio compared to the other ones I toured. Kitchen was kinda separate from the living room/bed so i dont smell food when I go to bed. The rent is reasonable as a studio with great location on first st. But in summer the utility...

As a first year here on campus, this was my first time applying for an apartment. I've toured everywhere and went to Reddit for advice and Roland was the best option. I applied for a Studio and the room itself is quite huge for the price and in good shape. The bonus utilities such as the barbecue gr...

I informed management of my leaky roof and they did absolutely nothing till I called the city inspector on them *This was over the course of a month. Did not even offer to give me a different place to stay at until they fixed everything, and did not even give me my full deposit back.

Ok, I would ALMOST say that Roland is "EXCELLENT".... Just one minor problem. The building that I live in has assigned parking - one space PER APARTMENT. It's not that big of deal to me but I constantly have people parking in MY parking space. It gets annoying. And no matter how many times you tow t...

I am seriously so sad to be moving out of my Roland apartment. It was an incredibly spacious apartment for just two people at a very reasonable price. I lived at 903 S First, and although it is a little bit off campus, there is a bus stop for the 22 right on the street corner so I didn't have to wal...

Don't live here. When you call maintenance, they show up but don't do nothing (even something serious such as mold). One of the manager is so rude. And also, Roland likes to blame everything on their residents because they are so lazy and don't do their jobs. Seriously, don't even sign here. You'll ...

Charged us outrageously for very little damages. On disputing some of these, they agreed to return the extra charge but became completely unresponsive thereafter. When caught in conversation, they went back and forth on their consent to refund the money at all.
