This isn't a great building, but it isn't horrible. Lets start with the good things. It's close enough to decent bus routes. The 140 comes every 30-45 minutes and brings you to Billings or Hurdman. The units are decently soundproof between units. I can rarely hear my neighbours but I can frequently hear my roommate in her bedroom. I do find the hallways/stairwells to be clean but there are always those people who smoke in the stairwell. The apartments are clean and large considering the cheap rent. There is plenty of closet space in the 840 building. The cons. In the 840 building the west facing units are HOT in the summer. It's like walking into a sauna. You die without an A/C. You do not have control over the heat in your apartment. I swear that in early May there was still heat coming out of the vents. The administration is not the most helpful. I asked to have one thing fixed and it never happened. The hours in the Admin office are horrible. After 10 months of living here I've never been able to get in to speak to someone. The elevators are slow and if one of them is on service than it's a nightmare trying to get one. Overall I'd recommend this place for students to live but I'm currently trying to find somewhere else to live. It's an alright building but I'm sure there is much better out there. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I moved in at the beginning of October. I found the staff to be very friendly. I love the area as it's very quiet and well kept. I have to agree about the toilets being very small BUT they work lol... shower pressure is low for me as well here. When I asked for upgrades due to my Mother's needs they did an apartment inspection and were quite reasonable in our requests. We like it here at 840 Springland Drive, but just wonder if it will be a bit cool in winter as the heat isn't very warm as of yet. If you're QUIET and respectful of others I would recommend this place to live. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

After moving into this location I quickly realized the Administration is very cheap in regards to upkeeping it's apartments. The attitude of the staff not supportive and they can be quite rude in their phone manner. The toilets are very small and old, suitable for a child but not any normal adult (in no way will they upgrade, as everyone has a small toilet in these apartments; so this makes it OK in their eyes); also, shower water pressure is very poor as well. The kitchen stove and fridge are small and unkept....no upgrading permitted as everyone has the same size appliances. The buildings were built in the sixties. The neighborhood is quite nice and presentable, this is what attracts most people. Once your moved in they basically turn their backs on you in regards to upgrades needed with the unit. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |
