I lived at the 2504 Vine St. apartments. Let me get the one con out of the way: the housing stock is not terrific. Older, cheaper units in an older, cheaper neighborhood. Having said that, you get what you pay for. For $430 a month (rent and utilities), I never complained.Now, what really set them apart was their customer service. I typically hear horror stories from other people about their landlords. Fortunately, in my year of living with Cherry Hill, I never had such a problem. The only time I needed to call maintenance, for a leaking toilet, they had a guy out the next day. Literally, the next day. I wish I could remember his name, because he was super friendly and fixed the problem right away.I believe the landlord's name was Tim, and he was a good guy, very professional. He even had my security deposit returned to me within two weeks of moving back home. The location is awesome. Some native Lincolnites may call it "a bad neighborhood," but (no offense to native Lincolnites), if you're from any kind of a developed city, it's absolutely nothing to worry about. I would go for walks around there at night and never felt afraid. If you go to UNL, there's the 24 bus (IIRC) that stops right in front of the complex on Vine St. There's plenty of great restaurants within a short walk, plus a Walgreens and a 24-hour McDonalds. So yeah, in conclusion, the housing stock ain't that great, but for the price, and the location, you're getting a solid deal. Management and maintenance are above-par. Definitely a place worth checking out.
