University Pines Apartments consists of two buildings, a three story one on F Street and a two story one on 9th street. Apartments are two or three bedrooms/one bath.

Prior to their 2008 change in management to Dowling Properties, these were "The Kingston Apartments." The new management is working to attract more students by remodeling and improving the complex. They've replaced both roofs, done some landscaping (with more to come) and replaced all the old windows with new double pane windows.

The roof of the top floor leaks rain water, and it is never completely fixed. The heater in my apartment is broken, and it is like living in the hell during winter time. The bedrooms of the apartment are facing west, which means that the bedrooms get a lot of sun shine in the summer afternoons (leading to high temperature). If you happen to live on the top floor, you will be living in an oven. The air conditioner lowers the room temperature a little bit, but it is at the cost of your electricity bill. Considering the environment of this place, the rent for the two badrooms (900.00 to 925.00) is not good at all. With a little bit more, you can find a much better place to stay. I agree with NekraKil that you'd better stay away from this place unless you have absolutely no choice left. —DumbCrab

2009-01-23 21:51:52   I visited these apartments in hopes of staying there for next fall. After seeing everything, me and my future roommates (4 of us) decided the 3 bedroom was not big enough for us. While approaching the place, its quite understandable why the rent is so cheap, because it looks like its extremely old and poorly maintained. We spoke to the new landlord (Kevin) for a while, and he seemed like an extremely helpful, ambitious, courteous, and understandable guy. If I was living with only two other roommates, then I would have signed the lease. Despite the outside look, Kevin has had people coming in and constantly renovating the entire complex. The story was that his father owned the place, and Kevin admitted that he didn't do much to make it nice. Now, Kevin has moved his family out to Davis and is genuinely doing everything he can to make the place better. (I knew his story and ambition were legitimate because he greeted us with work gloves and a good number of the rooms were being painted or receiving new carpet) The rooms themselves have brand new carpet, and windows. Gradually, they are going to get new doors, and an upgrade on the outside as well with glass bricks bordering the building, which should help this places curb appeal significantly. There are massive closets in the units, and the rooms seem larger than they are due to the newly installed sliding mirror-closet doors. If someone was considering living here, I would encourage it as it would be a fantastic investment for the future. The price is right (3 bdrm for $1,200!), the location is perfect, the landlord is personable, and in a few years, this place has the potential to double in price. I'm sure I'm merely the first of a massive revival of positive ratings on this place as well. —Yiddo9
