Sterling Oxford has been a great place to live for the past two years. The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from campus, which makes my daily commute a breeze. The apartment itself is modern and well-maintained - you can tell management cares about keeping things up to date. And the events they host for residents are a nice touch, makes it feel like a community.

Aaliyah is a standout when it comes to the staff here. She's always on top of communication, responding to texts and emails promptly. She's given me detailed information whenever I've needed it and has made the lease signing process a lot smoother than I've experienced elsewhere. Definitely a 5-star experience with her as my leasing agent!

The building is alright, but to be honest, the walls are pretty thin and you can hear a lot of noise from other apartments. While the location is fantastic for university access, I do feel that the price is quite high for what you're getting. The new management seems to be making efforts with renovations, but there's room for improvement.

Despite the building's issues, the current management, including Aaliyah, has been a big step up from the previous team. They're more responsive and seem to genuinely care about the residents' comfort. Aaliyah has been particularly helpful and courteous, which has made dealing with the building's shortcomings a bit easier.

The Sterling Oxford apartments are nicely situated right across from the university, which is a major convenience factor. The units are beautiful, and while the prices were a bit of a stretch for my budget, the staff worked with me to find a solution. The building is kept clean, and maintenance issues are handled promptly.

I've been living here for three months, and while the location is convenient, I've had ongoing issues with my garage door clicker. It's frustrating to deal with something as basic as this not working consistently. Aside from that, the apartment amenities are decent, but this issue really needs to be addressed.

The staff here, especially Aaliyah, are generally helpful, but I wish they would take my concerns about the garage door more seriously. It's important to me that things I pay for work properly and consistently. Aaliyah has been great in other regards, but I expect a more proactive approach to problem-solving.

I moved in here about nine months ago, and overall, it's been a positive experience. The apartment is clean and modern, and being close to the leasing office has its perks for quick assistance. They've been making changes under the new management, which has been great to see.

Aaliyah has been fantastic from the get-go. She's responsive, courteous, and really knows her stuff when it comes to all the leasing details. I needed to break my lease early, and she was very helpful in explaining the process and fees. Deja and Larissa were also sympathetic to my situation, which made the experience a lot less stressful.
