Apartment Reviews for Stoneworth Apartments - Slippery Rock

This place is quite decent, and Im enjoying this place pretty well. The apartments are pretty nice, the ones I live in our pretty small but it works really well if you are just by yourself. I cant complain about the rent either its, im a poor college student and i am able to afford it. The neighbors are nice if you catch them outside, everyone is pretty fast around here, so if you dont want to be lonely knock on a door and introduce your self. The manager is pretty chill, he lives on the grounds so hes pretty quick to respond if you ever have anything go wrong.

I've only been living here since August 1st 2012 but so far everything has gone wonderfully. The apartments are spacious and quiet for the studious students who want to excel in college or their job and want to make the most of their time. I generally feel for the price the apartment sets a very high standard which I haven't found other apartments are able to compare to.

The apartment manager has been very helpful and has been able to answer all my questions. This is my first time living alone and he has gone above and beyond what he had to do in order to be a manager in regards to helping me out.

I am hoping that next year I will have the money to move into the larger second floor apartments that are being built. Even if I don't though I plan on staying here no matter what because of the environment as well as the helpfulness of the manager.

I'd recommend this place to anyone I know who is planning on living in the area.

i stayed at stoneworth for about a year.. i liked my apartment in general but the only thing i had a problem with were stains on the floor in the bathroom and i got a couple of spiders around my door during the warmer seasons. it is air condtioned and heated but the entire floor is tiled which can be really cold during the winter. the other thing that bothered me was the fan in the bathroom, everytime you turned on the bathroom light a really loud fan would start. It was on the same switch as the light so there was no way of turning it off. when i got there it was clean but according to some people when they arrived their apartment was not clean and ready to move in. Mark is a nice guy but he doesnt keep track of things well what so ever. I understand that he has a lot of rooms rented out to people but it has taken a long time to get back to you and even though you talk to him all the time he doesnt see to remember anything you guys talked about. I liked my apartment for the most part

As a non-traditional student, Stoneworth Apartments was the perfect fit. Mark is meticulous about his apartments and groundskeeping. In my opinion, the location is ideal since it is right next to I-79 and a quick drive to campus. Mark was more than accomodating to my individual needs. If it weren't for graduating, I would still be living there. Hands down the best value and living experience in the Grove City/ Slippery Rock area!

I live in Atlanta but accepted a contract in Boyers, PA and stay at Stoneworth in Slippery Rock for nearly the whole two years I was there. I didn't need anything special and these apts although small was fine for me. I had no problems at the complex and the manager Mark was always working at providing a good environment for the residents.

I’ll start off my saying Stoneworth is a pretty nice place to live. My girlfriend and I lived there during the spring 2011 semester and only chose to move to a different apartment due to space. With two different class schedules sharing one room as a living room/bedroom was not ideal. Mark (the owner) did up-charge us for having two people in one apartment but it was only 75 dollars which still made rent far more affordable than our other options. I think I kind of walked into up-charge though(I asked if it was more for two people). If anyone plans to share their apartment you may be able to get out of paying more by either not mentioning price or negotiating.

Do keep in mind these are studio apartments so they are small. We however managed to get a slightly larger handicap accessible unit that had room for a large ‘L’ desk, a pullout couch, a tv stand and enough room to put down a queen sized memory foam mattress as a bed in-between the couch and the entertainment center (we stored it behind the couch during the day). They are also pretty nice inside. Mark did a good job prepping our apartment for move-in. I was half expecting to see stained floors, patched up walls, old cabinets but everything inside was very nice and looked like quality materials were used. The same cannot be said for half the other “affordable” apartments around slippery rock(SRU Tower and campus heights). You also get the option to have a fully or partially furnished apartment. We chose to use all of our own stuff but from what I saw of the furniture that Mark provides they are pretty nice. They’re still mostly particle-board but he does a good job of maintaining them. Also mark provides you with a fridge, microwave and electric stove but the stove DOES NOT have an oven. So if you like to bake, you are out of luck.

These are pretty quiet apartments. There was only one instance where I remember hearing ANYTHING from any of our neighbors and that was at 3am when the guy next to us was having a rather heated argument on the phone. I suspect we only heard it because there were no other noises what so ever at that hour. You do however hear EVERYTHING going on outside; Neighbors jiggling their keys, the garbage truck, the snow blower, the occasional drunken idiot. This also means you can hear pretty much anything going on in any of the apartments when you are outside their door. Walking down to the dumpster to take out the trash I could hear TV’s, dishes being done, chit chat, etc etc. Basically, you can’t really hear what’s going on in any of the apartments while in your apartment but you can hear whatever is going on outside and vice versa.

The only utilities you pay are water/sewage/trash which is a fixed rate. So no matter how much you use, you are charged the same. Electric, cable and internet are included. It is only basic cable but it’s still 60 some channels of free cable and the internet I found to be very usable. I do a good bit of online gaming and other internet related thing and had no problems with bandwidth.

These apartments are heated and air conditioned. Both ends of the spectrum are very nice, so don’t think just because you don’t pay electric that he only lets you set your temperatures to just within a comfortable range. The units themselves do only go up and down so much but its more than enough to start a sweat or to need a hoodie. If you aren’t sharing one of these with someone you probably won’t have to worry about hot water but if by some chance you are like I was do keep in mind the hot water tank is SMALL. I take rather long hot showers and was able to get what I wanted out of one tank but if my g/f was up before me and took a shower, even if I waited for her to finish doing her hair, get dressed, put makeup on and head out for her classes I only got about 10 minutes of semi hot water. I think Mark said it takes about 20 minutes to fully recharge the tank but I suspect it was probably something closer the 45 minutes to an hour.

Parking is also free and anyone coming to visit won’t have to worry about getting towed which I cannot say for any other place around slippery rock. They either want your guests to check in, get a parking pass during office hours (which are not ideal) or park ridiculously far away. I also never had a problem getting a parking spot at my building.

Mark is a good guy and comes off as very willing to help you out by talking about how he cuts deals to other people all the time; letting them out of their leases, refunding their full deposit despite damages and things like that, but there are a few things you should be aware of.

We did not get off on the right foot. Mark seems a little disorganized and didn’t make a few things clear when we were signing the lease. The first thing you should know is that when you sign your lease, you are not signing for any specific apartment. We were not told this and were under the impression that we had signed for one of the handicap accessible apartments which as I said before are a little bit bigger. We called ahead as suggested to let Mark know when we were going to move in. He told me no problem and he would be ready. When we got up there, which was in the middle of winter and freezing mark told us the apartment we thought we were getting wasn’t ours and it was just a show. This is a common mistake when signing for apartments but due to some of the meetings I’ve had with other landlords around slippery rock and some of the stories of the things landlords try and pull on you I got a little irritated right off the bat. When we asked what apartment we were getting Mark said he didn’t know which irritated me more. At this point Mark explained his move-in procedure, which was never outlined for us when signing the lease. What he does is you come in, view some apartments, sign your lease and when move-in time comes mark puts you in whatever apartment is available. I however made it very clear that the only reason we signed the lease was because he said we could have one of the larger handicap accessible apartments. So to accommodate this he had us come up a few days later so he could have one ready. This was a bit annoying because we had loaded all our stuff up into two vehicles so we could get it all moved in with help in one day. So yea keeping in mind some of the other reviews it seems Mark may have a habit of pushing back move-in dates and you may not get to move-in when your lease officially starts but I think if what he says he does for other people is true then it’s kind of offset if you need him to cut you a break. After our move-in misunderstanding we had no problems with Mark. He always answered his phone; he was always available to come down to the office and always friendly.

Some of the other reviews do complain about bugs and I won’t lie, we did seem to see a lot of spiders (all the same species odd enough) but you have to keep in mind that this isn’t in the middle of town. Stoneworth is setback into the woods a bit and every home has spiders and bugs, it’s just you don’t likely see them due to excess space. With a studio apartment there aren’t too many places for spiders to hide so you are gonna run into them if they are there. Really there’s little you can about that aside from dusting around the corners often enough.

And that is pretty much it. Stoneworth is a good place to live if you wish to live by yourself and are on a budget. If I come back for grad school after this year I may just sign a lease at Stoneworth again if I’m by myself. There are some ups and downs but every place has those, Stoneworth less so than a lot of other places around campus. Don’t mess up the place and you shouldn’t have a problem getting your whole security deposit back. We got ours but we also left the apartment in the same shape it was in when we got it and even cleaned every inc h of it the day we moved out.

If your looking for a nice, quiet and affordable place to live. Stoneworth Apartments are the perfect apartments for you. I lived here for 2 years and would suggest these apartments to anyone. Very Clean, safe and beautiful area. Helpful and pleasant staff. Can't beat these apartments in the area.

The apartment was clean and in good condition when I moved in. After moving in, the neighbors were kind and welcoming. The area is safe and quiet, and Slippery Rock University is only a five minute drive away. If any problems arose, the manager was attentive and promptly fixed them. Compared to other apartments, the rent and utilities are reasonable in terms of available amenities and having internet included in the rent.

I would highly recommend Stoneworth Apartments (and I have) to students that are looking for a quiet, clean and safe place to live while attending college. It is not a party place and it has a very good reputation for those that are serious about their studies. Marc is an excellent landlord and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is pleased with their surroundings and always has a happy attitude and speaks to everyone. If you need anything, all you have to do is ask him and he is always there for you. I have lived here for almost 2 years and love it. It's a great place to live. Thumbs up!

Mark has provided the public with a great environment in which to thrive. He always has his tenants' best interest in mind, and he has always proven to be caring. After two and one-half years of living in the same apartment, I never found myself wanting more than what was provided to me. All-in-all, it was a great place to call home during my stay, and I may even come back while studying for my graduate degree.

Being a person with multiple degrees, I have lived in many places. Living at Stoneworth is by far the nicest! It is a great place to live and it is very close to campus. I enjoy the peace and quiet Stoneworth provides. Stoneworths landlord is the greatest! I have never had any problems with him. He is always willing to assist in any way he can. I am very luck to have found Stoneworth and would highly recommend it to someone who wants to live in a great place!

this is a great place to live. anytime something goes wrong, which is really rare that something does, i get help right away, amazing, great value, must rent <P>

2006-2007: Great place- good manager, very responsive. Only place I know where you can get help if you lock yourself out at 2:00AM. <P>

I have lived in this apartment for 3 years and would recommend it to anyone. I have told many friends about this place and they have loved it here as well. Mark is always available and will fix any problems as fast as possible. He lives on the premises so you can see him and talk to him if he's out and about. It is very quiet and great for studying. This apartment complex is great for undergraduate and graduate students alike. The on-premises laundry room is very convenient and always available. Great living experience, especially for the price! :) <P>

very quiet, on-site manager helps a lot, especially if you lock yourself out. Didn't have a problem with security deposit. <P>

Marc will tell you your deposit is in the mail. It could take months, if you ever see it. The place is nice, marc is nice, but his filing could use a real book keeper. I think he goes bargain basement. <P>

I dont see how ppl could not like this place. I walked into a impressively clean apt. (could still smell cleaner) when i moved in. I've transfered lets say a few colleges and had my share of lame overpriced apts and horrible roomates and neighbors. I also must say the price and value is terrific. You cant live ANYWHERE for $350/mo this nice. That'll typically get you a total sh**hole. The landlord is very nice and understanding. If ur the loud, rude, or party type; this is NOT the place for you. If you respect others and wish to have peace, I definately recomment checking this out. <P>

I was very pleased these apartments. This place was very clean, quiet, and safe. I recieved excelent service when I asked. Manager lives on site so any problems that might occur are and will be taken care of immediately. If you hold up your end of the lease there will be no question concerning your security deposit. I spent 5 yrs @ SRU and it was a shame I didnt find out about this place sooner. Bottom line is this; you get what you pay for and this was very much worth the money spent. BELIEVE IT <P>

I loved living in Stoneworth Apartments! The landlord was great to work with! He helped to get me into a vacant apartment after I lived with roommates from ****. My apartment was great! It was well furnished, quiet, and close to campus. I would recommend to anyone to live here! It is great if you want peace & quiet and a great place to live! <P>

This is the best I have ever done in my college career. First time I have ever had straight A's, great environment if your a serious student. It is always quiet so I can study, anytime of the day, any day. Not like dorms, can't study until everyone is asleep. Prices are very reasonable, the cheapest for the best quality. Try and find a nice place with this quality for the prices offered here. I would strongly recommend Stoneworth for someone to live. <P>

I have lived here for 1 1/2 years and now I'm done at S.R.U. I'm not planning on living with roommates when I move. This place has been super quiet the whole time I lived here. I did pretty good in my classes. I did'nt have any distractions here. If you are reading this I would recommend this place to you because there are no idiots here. Sometimes it's boring, but that's ok. This place has all the amenities. Check it out. <P>

Stoneworth Apartments is always quiet and great for studying. When I come home late, there is always a place to park fairly close to my door. Mark (the landlord) is always around (but not in your apartment). The rooms are small, but great for one person (not too much to clean). The room was clean when I got here and there were no bugs nor did I ever see any in my apartment except for one little spider. It's a fair price and furniture is included (none of mine has fallen apart). <P>

I moved in here in August. I wasnt sure what to expect because I am not from this area, but the place is way better than the landlord made it seem. I never hear my neighbors. There never seems to be any trouble here although I am not here much. The apartment is very cozy and there is plenty enough heat. The landlord said he provided high speed internet, I was skeptical of that but it ended up being true. This is the fastest internet I have ever had. I like it here and I will probably re-sign for next year. <P>

This is an affordable and well kept complex that is established in the area with a flexible landlord who is very responsive to needs and concerns. It is quiet and the folks are respectful. This apartment complex is a much better alternative to higher priced apartments in the area and the great package of utilities is impressive, a must rent. <P>

Clean, comfortable, and quiet. No major problems and the neighbors are surpringly friendly. <P>

I have no complaint about the apartment. It is always quiet. the rooms are plenty big as long as you don't plan on having parties. The land lord is very flexible and will work with you as long as you are not an obnoxious tenant. <P>

This is a nice little place to live. Great for privacyand very quiet. The price is right, if you don't believe me then try to rent a place at Pine Glenn with either you by yourself or with you and one other person, it'll be expensive with 10 times the noise of a dorm. If you are serious about studying and want quiet then look into renting at Stoneworth. I recommend it.... <P>

I lived at stoneworth the past two years while i was finishing up my doctorate in physical therapy. the place is very well maintained. i never had any problems with my apartment. it held up very nice. the surrounding neighbors are all very courteous and quiet. i needed to find a palce to live that was convient and quiet due to all the hours i had to put in studying and this palce was perfect for me. <P>
the landlord mark is great. he is always there to answer any questions or problems that may arise and he is willing to work with any difficulties or problems that you entail. <P>
i would definetly reccomend choosing stoneworth if you are looking to live by yourself and want a nice quiet/private environment. <P>

These are nice efficiency apartments. They are very thoroughly cleaned between tennents. Parking is great. There was a spot for my car right outside my door which made moving in and out very easy. It is also very quiet. The complex is on a beautiful block which makes a nice 4 mile walk or run, most of which is in the woods or surrounded by fields. Also, the complex is very near Rt. 79, which is very convenient. <P>

I have lived on campus for 4 years, and knew exactly where to go when I decided to move off campus. My ex had lived here when it was brand new, and I liked it enough to call it my home too. <P>
The landlord is very attentive and helps out whenever he can. He's talkative, but I have never had problems with him coming into my place as other people have said. <P>
The parking is excellent, it's super quiet (sometimes too quiet). I wish the other tennants were a bit more social, but what do you expect in a complex full of people who want to live alone. The space is small, but not too small. I live here with my infant and there is enough room for both of us, not to mention all of the things that a baby needs. I feel very safe here, I wouldn't have my son in a place that I didn't think was safe. <P>
The price is excellent, unless you want to move to Butler, or share an apartment with a roommate, you won't find a cheaper price anywhere. Not all of the furniture is high quality, but it does what it's supposed to do. I like that I only have to deal with one payment (Internet) other than rent. Soon it will be only $8.00 for high speed internet instead of $30 or so through Armstrong. <P>
The things that drew me here: parking, price, furnished, quiet location. <P>

I really enjoyed living here. It's a nice, quiet place to live and people are definitely friendly. Mark, the landlord, is pretty laid back and is helpful if you need anything at all. I would definitely recommend this place. The airconditioning is a huge plus!! <P>

My apartment complex was very nice. I knew my neighbors but were not very friendly. This is okay because everyone keeps to themselves. The landlord is very laxed. He is there mostly all the time so he is needed for anything that goes wrong. Privacy is very nice because the window may be small but it makes things nice when one needs alone time. Living here was a great experience if one is sick of roommates and noice. <P>

Landlord was very helpful, always asking if everything was okay and if it wasnt he would fix it. it is very quiet only hear neighbors when they are outside. all other tenants keep to themselves. there are no parties or loud noises. great for someone who wants to live by themselves. very reasonable in price compared to the rest of slippery rock. apartments are efficiencies, but you can fit a lot in them. i should know i just moved out. overall very nice place to live. <P>

For the people who wrote these bad reviews, I don't know where you're coming from. I've lived here for a year and a half and I would stay longer except for the fact that I just graduated and have to leave for military reasons. The landlord is awesome. The apartment complex was always clean and quiet, especially during the weekends and I've never had any problems with noisey people. AC and heat work like a champion and the best thing is all utilities except water, sewage and trash are FREE. I would highly recommend this to any student who wants privacy and a nice quiet place to study. <P>

I really enjoyed my stay at stoneworth and if I wouldn't have graduated from school I would have stayed another year. I read another review and agree that the landlord was always around, even helped start my car one day. <P>

I have lived at many different places in Slippery Rock and never have I enjoyed my living conditions as much as I did at Stoneworth. The landlord Mark is very reliable and was always there when we needed him for something. He always answers his no matter what time it may be. I would reccomend living at Stoneworth to anybody because of the price and quality of living. If you are reading this MArk thank you for the wonderfull service. <P>
Thanks, Kristen <P>

I didn't look at many apartments before I came to SRU, mostly because I didn't have much luck with any of them. One landlord told me that she rented only to boys; another didn't return my phone call. I was just about to give up on graduate school when I found Stoneworth Apartments. What attracted me here was that the apartment was fully furnished and all utilities, including cable, were included in the rent. The only extra thing you have to pay for is Internet service. This is the fourth semester I've been here, and I absolutely love it. There is ample parking, and I love having my own bathroom and kitchen. I commuted to college for my baccalaureate degree, so I never stayed in a dormitory or shared an apartment with anyone. I knew that I couldn't do it now either, so this worked out perfectly for me. It's always quiet when I have to read my books and write my papers. I attribute the good grades I've made at SRU to the peacefulness I always have in my apartment. I completely disagree with some of the other reviews. Just to comment on some of the things I've read, how can you call Stoneworth Apartments overpriced when all utilities--and cable--are included in the rent? Also, the rules pertinent to a lot of the things that some reviewers are complaining about--hanging things on the walls and smoking in the apartment, for example--are outlined in the lease. You agreed to these rules when you signed the lease. READ YOUR LEASE. This apartment really is designed for only one person, not for you to accommodate a bunch of friends. Accordingly, I definitely would recommend Stoneworth Apartments to anyone I know. When I leave my classes at night, it's nice to know that I have a safe, quiet place to study and relax waiting for me. ~Ronell <P>

I checked out stoneworth a year ago and didn't move in. Instead I moved in to the "zoo" in town with a girl whom I thought was my friend. Needless to say we are no longer friends. I couldn't get out of my lease there, but I couldn't live there any longer either. So I moved into stoneworth for my last semester. This place is as quiet as the landlord said it was. I like my privacy here and the place is always clean. I should have moved in here last year, cuase then I wouldn't have to pay rent in two places......Jessica <P>

I have spent the last year and a half at stoneworth apartments. I have made the deans list the last two semesters. I feel the reason I was able to accomplish that task is because of the student friendly environment at stoneworth apartments. I would recomend these apartments to any student who is looking for a quiet safe affordable and well kept place to live. <P>

nice and quiet, go somewhere else if you want to pary. This is really great place and the land lord is great dispite what other may put in there reviews. I live in apt 103 and I have nothing but praise for this place. <P>

The previous review is just not true. I only have several couples in the complex, so i know who they are. This girl who has written the previous review speaks of her bf coming back. I dont know who he is,or who she is. She says she made four installments of $516. There is noone in the entire complex that has a payment plan like that. Her lease, if she exists, is for 6 months at $425 a month because there would be 2 people. One person is $375 a month. Couples are given the option to take these units or not. I sign short term leases for the convienence of the tennant. Also stated in her response was the fact that i walked in on her while she was sleeping. This NEVER happened. Yesterday, for example, Armstrong came here and wanted to go in a girls apt. I called her, asked permission to go in, asked when she would be back,was given permission to go in,she said she would return in 15 min,so we waited for her to return. I do not go in to apartments unannounced. Stoneworth Apartments is not a zoo. This is the quietest apt complex in Slippery Rock. I wish this girl would identify herself. For anyone reading these reviews, come check out Stoneworth for yourself. <P>

Friends of mine lived in stoneworth last year and recomended I move there. I recently moved in as of augest 2005 and everything that my friends said was right. It's really quiet and I am able study. I have my own kitchen, my own bathroom, and it came completly furnished with a computer desk, bed, table, tv stand, and dresser. I love the fact that I don't have to pay for any utilities because everything is included. The only thing I have to pay for is internet and a phone. I even get cable! A great quiet, study friendly environment to live I recomend it to anyone who wants to do well in school. <P>

I am in the doctorite of physical therapy program. I lived here last year also. There is no doubt that Stoneworth is the quietest apt complex at sru. All my neighbors seemed to be older students. I have my own bath here and love having my own kitchen. I have compared prices and quality around SRU and i definately made the right choice to live here. I dont see my landlord much because my program is so demanding, but he seems to do a good job. The place is well kept. I reccomend Stoneworth to everyone. - Gina <P>

I recently resigned my lease here at stoneworth for a third consecutive year. I read a couple of the other reviews and I don't understand where some of these people are coming from. I feel very secure here, it's always clean and I have never been desturbed by my neighbors or my land lord. I love it here and will finish my college career here. I have lived in the dorms my first year at SRU, and I couldn't sleep or study there because my roommate was the opposite of me. Here I don't have to worry about a roommate anymore and I have been on the deans list every semester. I credit stoneworth for part of my success at SRU. I recommend this place for anyone and everyone. <P>

Nice place to live if you are sick of the whole roommate deal. Perfect for one person. <P>
