Sparks 2

the living room and that the bedrooms are a little small (although, I am living in one of the smaller, discounted apartments). Other than that, some of the greatest-value apartments I've seen. The lounge is very convenient, and the hot tub and pool are great. It's also right by the city bus stop, and the shuttle to BYU stops right beside it. All in all, most excellent.

a hold of. Their online payment system can be annoying because if you choose e-check it takes a couple of days to process and there is a fee. Overall, I have enjoyed my stay at Sparks here due to just the easiness of living here.

I know). They plan activities that are genuinely fun to attend, are kind people, and response times have always been quick. The price increases for rent are a bit hard on the wallet, but rent everywhere in Provo has been going up, so it only makes sense. Also, the ward community is amazing.

month.

or the oven right.

first few days and I HATE bugs. But after the first week or so, once there were people actively living in the apartment, the number of bugs has (thankfully) gone down significantly. I think I’ve only had to kill one spider and a handful of flies since then. After that first week, I spent probably a month and a half looking for new places to live next year, thinking there was no way I was coming back. But a few months in, I have decided I’m going to live here next year and probably the rest of my college career. Some important things to note: -My contract is for Fall/Winter for a 4 person apartment. The baseline rent is $425, but with utilities, rent is around $500 a month. -In a 4 person apartment, there is only one bathroom. I think on the website it says there’s a half-bath downstairs, but that is not the case. However, we’ve never really had issues working the 4 of us through the bathroom. -Most of the stuff in the apartments is pretty old, and sometimes it just falls apart, but the maintenance team is really good about getting stuff fixed quick. -The people here are AMAZING. I cannot stress that enough. They are fantastic. The people are the reason I am coming back here next year. I’m not super social, but they make me want to be. I’ve lived in Sparks II for 4 months at this point, and I don’t notice any of the things that bothered me in the beginning. If your goal is to have a super cute apartment, this isn’t the place for you. (Not that it’s impossible for your apartment to be cute, but they’re reallly old). But I’m coming back, and honestly, I’d really recommend living here.

(you do have to pay) and the pool/ hot tub are as well! Fantastic wifi. No real problems, or at least none that a responsible adult can't handle. Love this place and will live here for a while.

my fault as I have a lot of cooking supplies and keep a lot of food on hand at a time. The bedrooms are good sizes and the desks are plenty big. My main issue comes from how cramped the fridge is, but depending on your roommates this may not be an issue. The pool is convenient and nice to have. Our hot tub is open year round and is very enjoyable on a winter night or a summer evening. It’s a good place to live.

school. The office staff has also been very friendly. The apartments themselves are pretty old and not fancy, and all things considered I think they are too expensive, but still on the cheaper end for college apartments.

far as the quality of the living spaces, the carpets are pretty old, as well as the couches and pretty much everything else, but the apartment is still a very functional place to live. There are monthly cleaning checks which are beneficial because it forces you and your roommates to keep the place clean, but they are pretty tough critics of your cleaning jobs. Another great perk to living here is the location in relation to BYU campus. It's about a 15 minute walk, situated directly behind Vasa fitness, and there are two different options of busses you can take to campus making the commute very easy.

on the roommate, but I feel that the policy encourages it. The price is too high, as well- some complexes have private rooms and a community gym for 480/ mo., or in unit washers and dryers. It's just priced too high! The air conditioning is so, so loud. I talked to a technician about it, he says it's because the apartments were designed weird, and the pump to move the air all around the house is what's so loud. It seems negligable, but I'm being honest when I say it makes being in the living room irritating. Maitenence is quick and efficient though, and that's been nice.

and it picks you up right outside the complex. It's right behind VASA and it's also pretty dang cheap!
