Center City

As a current MSU student the walkability and space at the Campus Court location is excellent. Maintenance are always timely and helpful but sometimes there can be gaps between when they are available. The price is ok, was better when we first moved in. Otherwise it's a reasonable place to live.

TLDR; management can be unreachable at points, i dont have access to a working mailbox, they wont fix certain things, but it is cheap and safe. If you want reliable communication from management, or the ability to receive mail, look elsewhere. When I moved in during the summer, you could not get through the phone, couldn't get a call back. Every time to get information I had to physically show up at the office. When we finally got moving in underway, I was told to provide proof of renter's insurance to their parent company's email. It kept getting sent back saying they "could not find my lease in their systems." I moved in 6 months ago, and only as of LAST WEEK was my proof of insurance even accepted into the system. As for mail, I have not had mail in the building since December. It was being held at the post office because USPS regulations changed, and they won't use a door with a code. I repeatedly had USPS management tell me that -I as the tenant- needed to communicate with management because they once again, do not return phone calls, and they couldn't get a hold of corporate. Even still, when I confronted management, they said they "weren't willing to change the doors because they were expensive." IT TOOK ME GOING TO THE POSTMASTER BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE. Now, in March, only now are they "trying to move the mailboxes outside". That being said, the apartment is clean, and rent is cheap in a relatively good neighborhood. However, the building is really old, and the kitchen cabinets are barely holding together. I've tried getting maintenance to fix it, they came in, take one look and my sink cabinet(which the bottom has completely collapsed and half my cabinets are unuseable) and go "oh its just old itll do that" and marked it as fixed without even leaving a note. I tried complaining to management about it and they went "oh ill have to look into that" and as per usual, never got back to me."

I'm very happy to be a tenant at East Manor. Any issues I've had were quickly resolved. My granddaughter loves to come swim with me in the summer.

Ive been a resident at El Chaparral since the summer of 2018. Loving how close in proximity it is to the downtown area and the rest of Springfield. Rent is also very affordable. Kitchen could be bigger, but it is very serviceable. Would highly recommend.

I really like el chapperal! The amenities are great and it is a great first apartment. It's pretty quiet and comfortable place. I just wish laundry was free, but even so, it's a real bargain!

I have lived at East Manor for 2+ years Managed by Center City Apartments (Wooten Company).They are always professional, very friendly and have well cared for units which are maintained by the Wooten company Maintenance department and outside contractors as needed.Jim in maintenance is the absolute best. It's always a pleasure to see Jim as he regularly pops in to clean the landscape and parking area as well as repairs that need done. It will be a sad day if he leaves or retirees. The management and staff are top notch. Nancy is wonderful as she manages with great professionalism which other management companies lack today. I don't plan on moving anytime soon. Thanks Wooten Co/Center City!!!
