Pheasant Run Apts

I’ve lived at Pheasant run for almost a year now, and I can say it’s overall a good experience. The staff is helpful, friendly, and understanding. The apartments are nice for people looking to finish their undergrad who are done with living in broken down campus apartments that cost a fortune. The amenities are all very decent. Non-​function dishwashers or ovens that burn the underside of baked goods. The maintenance staff is helpful and havnt had any problems fixing things. There is always ample parking for tenants and guests. The lobby is cozy and offers free refreshments.
I have only a few issues.
The first is that they don’t have online rent payment. which means you need to fill out a check and deliver it to the main office each month.
The second is the fitness center. The equipment is decent, but there needs to be more of it. Also young teenagers and pre-​teens like to hang out there so they occupy the machines but don’t actually do anything productive
The last is the INTERNET.
Pheasant run does not offer private internet services. Which means you can’t setup services through comcast where you choose what speed you want to pay for. if you want internet, you MUST get your connection through pheasant run, and they only offer one speed. and that speed is SLOOOOOW! it costs $ 40 a month for 1 Mbps internet, and it rarely runs at even that. on sunday afternoons, i get 80 Kbps speeds, which means a 4 min long youtube video takes about 20 mins to load. for the same price, comcast offers speeds that are literally 25 times faster and a lot more stable.
if i could rate the internet at pheasant run alone, id give it negative 5 out of 5 stars.
so if fast internet is very important to you, DO NOT LIVE AT PHEASANT RUN

I lived here for two years (yes I renewed so I am truly a fan), but please realize there are different apartment layouts and different building years. I lived in the back section which is the larger, newer, and more costly apartments of Pheasant Run. My building was mostly young professionals (myself) and young engaged couples (still pretty much professionals) planning to get married and a house eventually. I myself stayed there until I got a house even. I did my Bachelor schooling in Indianapolis where the apartment market is plentiful. So when moving to Lafayette, I wanted new appliances, a walk in closet, a safe neighborhood, a safe building… but this is a small town, not a big city… and if you go 5 miles away, you are in college apartment world at Purdue University in West Lafayette. oh boy the apartments there (College = how many kids can you fit in one small space to be cheap and we all know how messy 4 college boys in one place can get! Eww. Haha). The Pheasant Run apartment staff are very nice and helpful. The maintenance was always timely and fully corrected any problem I may have had. It wasn’t a completely new place, but I can speak for the larger, newer, more costly apartments and buildings and fairly say that the neighbors, building, and apartments were some of the best I could get in Lafayette. This is NOT Indianapolis and when apartment shopping, once I realized I would not have as much choice, I was very happy with my selection. The cheaper buildings up front, well let someone else review those. I had a professional friend that lived in those (a nice male that appreciated a low cost and he was happy and is a very humble guy to begin with), but I saw the apartment size and appliances are totally different. Regardless, the office staff and maintenance staff are the same people and are nice and helpful. You can tour any plan lay out, and then remember you get what you pay for… Look at the lay out you would be getting with the price they are asking for each plan. The layouts, neighbors, and cars outside the apartments and sections show this place has something for everyone… I was so happy, but select price or quality and then be happy with your decision. The company really does have something for everyone. Looking for something new and nice, this was the best I could find in Lafayette! Definitely check out the layout of your choice, AND then if your future apartment is occupied, visit the exact building to make sure you will be happy. As long as you preview your location and building first, I feel you will be satisfied. Try to review your EXACT apartment if possible (usually only available if people aren’t living in it at the time).
