The Retreat at Illinois, urbana

As an international student from Spain, renting an apartment from across the world can be incredibly stressful, but the team at The Cottages made the entire process so easy and transparent! They are incredibly fast at replying to emails, answered all my questions in detail, and are super accommodating with international students. They were very understanding and flexible regarding the visa process. Special thanks to Ruphine for the outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone.

This is an amazing apartment! Reasonable prices and the staff are the nicest on campus. They always hold nice events here and seem to really care about their residents

Comfortable rooms and quite, peaceful neighbourhood. Lived in the Cloverhurst 4B4B furnished for 1 semester with 3 friends. Maintainence staff are quick, knowledgable and friendly. Package reception at front desk is well managed.

Absolutely love it here. Rent is manageable but you also get so many amenities. Staff is really nice and always there to help. I would definitely recommend if you’re new into getting an apartment as a university student. The community is quiet and there are many bus stops around. Wished I stayed here my junior year

Not really friendly place. 1. Run out of hot water during the winter storm. 2. Heating facility on 2nd and 3rd floor interfere with each other. Heats go up to 90F at night. 3. Aggressively toll visitor's car while providing very limited guest parking spots.
