Apartments in Normal, IL

“SAMI is a fantastic rental company with wonderful staff. The process of finding an apartment quick was stressful but they took away all my stress. I've heard their team is incredibly helpful and quick to resolve any issues that may arise. I'm definitely excited for this new journey and would recommend them to anyone in search of a reliable rental experience!”

“Apartments are nice. Rooms are quite small though. Their gym center is nice but I really wish they would add more equipment. I do enjoy the free stuff they give out in their office building and how sweet the maintenance workers were before YA bought them over.The only complaint I have is that these are college apartments. I lived on the 1st floor right by the stairs and I heard every single foot step going up and down the stairs, I would hear everyone’s conversations as they walk by, I also kept hearing my upstairs neighbors stomping all over, squeaking the bed, turning on the faucet, even turning on the light. The walls are very thin so I can also hear my roommates from the other side. One of my roommates for my 1st year didn’t make my experience any better, I completely despised them.Overall, it’s an okay apartment complex. It’s cheaper than the other apartments around campus! Pretty fun place to live”

“CollegePlace Uptown is truly the premier location for off campus residence. I have enjoyed three lease terms as a resident without any of the BS I've heard of other people dealing with amongst their competitors. They have a model unit that they use exclusively for tours so I've never had to have strangers touring my own unit. My entire stint here has been seamless and the staff has always handled my requests promptly and politely. Special shoutout to the maintenance crew John and Wes! The leasing staff is great too specifically Teagan and Mariah. Thanks for such a great experience!”

“I used to live here for more than a year. The apartment is clean and furnished with luxury furniture. The rent price is cheap compared to other compounds in the city. The landlord is flexible and understandable. I could not speak English since I am an International student. He took hours explaining the lease’s details. I signed the lease two days after moving in. A problem will be solved within 24 hours after calling the customer service. The deposit will be returned when you move out.

I moved out because I have to study law at WashU. If there were more than five stars, I will post it
Highly recommended.”

“I have been a tenant at this property for over a year now. Since Jaclyn started I have noticed a truly positive improvement with how this place has been run. She keeps her word. She works really hard. She has gone above and beyond recently helping us with some maintenance issues we had in the apartment and got them resolved. She genuinely tries and cares about what she does as well as maintaining the property and managing everything. With her running the office it’s has become much more organized and professional. Things are getting fixed and replaced as well as maintained.”
