The Roost

The Roost is no longer the great place it used to be. I lived here from Fall 2020 to Winter 2022. With the increase in rent, the decline in property maintenance, snow removal and overall increase in charges much better places exist all over Rexburg. My friend who lived here a semester after I left reported a maintenance issue 4 times and they never came and fixed it. The apartments do remain comfortable, well-furnished and nice overall; however, I am no longer able to recommend to someone that they should live at the Roost. The Roost no longer stands out - it has become a run-of-the-mill apartment complex.

I truly wish people would leave more reviews on this place because 4.4 is laughable. It WAS cheap, which was nice. I say was because as I was leaving I heard how much they raised their prices and it’s just insane to pay 700 dollars for a single room and it’s the size of what a full sized bathroom should be. I decided to live here, and I signed the lease, but i’m still going to complain about the fact they take 125 dollars out of your deposit regardless. Especially in my case it’s frustrating because I had the world’s most disgusting roommate, like it was always disgusting, ring around the toilet, smelled awful, and stains everywhere. She had her boyfriend living there and it made me uncomfortable cause he would be there alone with me all the time and all they did was smoke weed all day and

The Roost definitely isn't the worst place to live in town, however not worth the price that you pay. Upon moving in the toilet in my bathroom was not working, I sent in a maintenance request, which they responded to fairly quickly (which was lucky because they only do maintenance once a week) however it broke after i flushed it one time, i then looked up a youtube video and fixed it myself. I did like that they had a washer and dryer in the unit, but it did take more than a couple of hours to dry anything. They did have a fitness center which i liked, but for the majority of the time i lived there one of the two weight machines was broken. The portal that they used had a fee to pay your rent, which i think is dumb, I asked the manager if there was a way I could pay rent without any sort o

I really want to say this place is perfect but there's just some things that keep it from being such. I lived here for just under a year and I had a fine time living here, nice living space, two fridges, two bathrooms, dryer and washer in the apartment. Went through two sets of managers and they did their jobs properly. There is just a few things that brings them down where it reminds you, You are just another number and another paycheck. The portal they go through charges you money to pay your bills, and other little stuff where it makes you think, "I'm paying all my bills and my rent why aren't these things being covered by that?" It's a nice place but make sure to be aware of certain things that will catch you by surprise.

My time at The Roost has been quite pleasant. The rooms are nice. Not roomy, but not cramped. While the space is generally limited as a whole, the kitchen cabinets are spacious. There is a roku TV in every apartment. The lounge is nice too, and easy to reserve. The owners when I moved in were friends of mine and they were kind and respectful to me and, as far as I knew, to everyone else. The management entity has changed though, and I don't know if the owners I knew are still with it. But the current onsite manager has not changed, and she seems to do a fair job. Though I have twice been double charged rent in a month, she has helped me get a refund or apply it to next month's rent. She has been responsive to me. Most maintenance issues have been resolved well, soon after a request. My onl
