I had a good experience living in Wassmer Studios this past year. The apartment has a good amount of space and nice kitchen. The location is close to anywhere you need to be if you go to UK. The electric bill can run a bit high in the winter, but isn't too terrible as other utilities are covered. Overall I would recommend Wassmer studios for its fair price and convenience.

DO NOT rent from Bill Wassmer! He will take your money and you will be so unhappy the whole time. Also, beware of the good reviews on this site. In order to get your security deposit back the same day he is having people write good reviews for him, print them out and give them to him - I know this because that I how I got my deposit back. I have delete my overly fake and sarcastic good review and here is what I really think:



I lived in these apartments and it was horrible. When I signed the lease I was desperate but I think that living in my car would have been better than living here. When I moved into the 2 bedroom apartment there were just 2 random squatters that somehow had keys to the apartment and were living there. It took me a month to get them out.



The apartment was disgusting when I moved in, as if it had never been cleaned and I made requests to fix the things that were broken (the bathtub had holes in it and was cracked down the middle, fire alarm hung off the ceiling and didn't work, our air filter in the AC unit hadn't been changed in at least a year and we were missing electrical socket covers which is against housing code).



I submitted multiple maintenance requests until I realized their website request form doesn't work. When I called I got into a screaming match with the workers and they never fixed anything, which happened more than once and as I read other reviews I see that other people are saying the same thing. Horrible. They will not fix anything ever! The ceiling in my bedroom was leaking and they told me to just put a bucket under it. When I moved out it still hadn't been fixed and the ceiling looks like it is about to collapse.

I had an overall great experience with my apartment in Wassmer studios. The appliances were all new and worked well with no problems. The apartment was clean and the location was nice (15-20 minutes walking to campus/downtown, beautiful neighborhood). I did have some maintenance issues come up and found that I needed to call the office in addition to filling out their online maintenance form, but I received service within a day or two of calling. The landlord himself is very matter of fact during conversations (I've seen some reviews saying that he's been rude but I've taken it as him wanting to cut through B.S. and just get requests taken care of), but was helpful for me when I needed to cancel a third year's lease and did not give me any difficulty about getting back my deposit. This is not the cheapest apartment in lexington, but it is low hassle and a good location. Very worth it.

The proximity to campus and downtown, included internet, or the large floor space, are all perks of the property of Wassamer Square, located on Transylvania park. The building is very secure and safe, even has coded access to the laundry room.

I though this place was going to be great because of its proximity to campus and seemingly reasonable rent. However, I soon found out that it would take them 3.5 months to repair my bathroom door (which couldn't shut) and my kitchen sink (which leaked every time I did dishes). Parking was always difficult to secure, and I had to listen to everything (EVERYTHING) my neighbors were up to. The office staff were difficult to get ahold of, and seemed lazy and indifferent to an concerns I had. I had two friends who also stayed at other Wassmer properties. One had issues had maintenance issues Wassmer wouldn't attend to, and the other had her bicycle stolen twice. We all say, "Never again!"

I chose Wassmer as an out-of-towner for its proximity to campus and UK police. he advertised "recently renovated". what i got was a poorly maintained dump next to a half-way house. The Unit had not been cleaned between me and the last tenet. Maintenance requests were ignored for months. I was constantly told that he was too busy for me...even though i was paying more than other properties in the area. I had no AC from August till October despite weekly complaints. My utility bills were astronomical due to faulty appliances. When i complained, the owner told me in all seriousness, that he though i was intentionally breaking things. The exterior was not kept up. the driveway was full of potholes. I had to have my axle repaired due to this driveway. broken glass around the apartment complex remained for 6 months despite several reports. I got a sublet after 5 months, a process through which the owner unmistakably tried to undermine me. when I called to complain, he regularly yelled at me stating that I needed to calm down. Despite my professional tone when conducting business with Wassmer Properties, i was constantly demeaned on a personal level when dealing with the owner.
