5/5
Edit/update: I no longer live here but starting from fall 2025 Semester, MyCityBus has completely ruined the commute from 52 flats to Purdue. The 23 bus (formerly the 8) used to be in sync with the 22 and the 21 buses (formerly the 1B and 4B respectively) Now their schedules aren't lined up. They used to all arrive at the same time, every time at walmart. Plus they only run till 9 pm now !! not midnight !! (except for the 21, which doesn't matter if the 23 bus, formerly the 8, does not run till midnight.) PLUS no busses on sunday. Huge change. Consider this before deciding. Also the 24E bus (now the 52E) will cost $5 starting spring 2026 and it was never optimal since it doesn't operate during weekends / non university days and runs only till 6 pm. I will still give 5 stars cause this has nothing to do with them / isnt their fault, nor did it affect me. My old review: We stayed for 10 months in a 3 BR duplex and it was super nice! The unit was renovated and the included appliances were super new like 2020 and after. The unit and bathroom / shower were also super clean. The central AC / Heater was also quite nice probably due to also being new. The maintenance was very responsive whenever we had even the most minor problem. Heck when our dishwasher simply had a bad smell (nasty one albeit) they replaced the WHOLE FRIGGIN THING !!!! for a new one !!! They are super helpful and the management is super nice, they sometimes held these cute little breakfast events and giveaway events. They did not charge any extra fees or do any random inspections, and any scheduled quarterly inspections or maintenance we were given at least 3 days notice. They refunded our deposit fully. They have an excellent location despite being a bit far from campus (it is a 10-15 min car drive anyway) but if you don't have a car it is the next best thing to living on campus because of the following reasons (i would say even better): 1) it is a 10 min walk from lafayette limo's office, a shuttle bus company that takes you directly from chicago o'hare airport to their office. Perfect for international students who JUST landed at the airport. One bus ride and you're home! 2) 1 min walk from dollar general (a mini supermarket for those not from the US) 3) It is a 1 min walk from the bus stop. Buses run till midnight or a little past. (during normal service weekdays) 4) It is a 10 min bus ride to Walmart (a mega big supermarket) and other big places like meijer (also a mega super market) and menards (a super big hardware store that sells light bulbs, lamps, plumbing, electric, ...etc that kind of stuff). Lots of food / fast food stores, and other stuff all this is 10 min ride away. 5) From walmart you can take two OTHER busses that go to two completely different sides of the campus in an additional ~20 mins. These other busses also run till midnight or a little past on weekdays and they also go to the City Bus Center (CBC) which means you can go from the CBC to anywhere in lafayette/west lafayette. One of these two busses (the 4B) also goes to the islamic center directly. Chase bank is a 10 min bus ride from walmart using the 1B. 6) They are located right beside a water tower so the water comes super clean and suitable to drink. 7) I am not sure if (the following) is still the case because I have heard it is no longer allowed. Nonetheless, you used to be able to take the 24E from Redpoint, a 10 min walk from 52 flats, which took you to campus in 10 mins.
