Covenanter Hill Neighborhood District

Let me just say that I have lived all over the IU Bloomington area, from 2^nd and Fess to 10^th and ⁴⁵⁄₄₆. I first moved to Covenanter Hill in 2012 in one of the duplex town homes. After living there for 2 years, I moved into a single apartment after graduating. This marks my fourth and last year with Covenanter (I have relocated for a job). After living here so long, I know the maintenance and manager office staff by name. I have always felt like they have been friendly and done their jobs well. In 2013 a pipe leaked in my roommate’s sink and they fixed it quickly and re-​patched the entire affected area of the ceiling. They did a great job. Kudos to Adam/​Rick with maintenance. With the 2 br/2.5 ba, I loved all the space in the lower level and the way my roommate and I could have some space to ourselves on the second floor. Plus 2.5 bathrooms! It’s so nice to have two full baths and a powder room downstairs. When I moved out of the 2 br, I got most of the security deposit back and they were very fair with deductions.
The single I was in had cathedral ceilings and seemed much bigger than the actual square footage. No it’s not the most updated place, but it is not anywhere close to the worst or least updated place I have lived. They have all the appliances except a microwave, which any former dorm-​student should have. There’s always a lot of light and beautiful mature trees. They have a community garden that you can sign up for each year and a nice pool. The vibe is very relaxed and quiet. Maybe I was lucky but I rarely heard my neighbors and when I did, it was tolerable. I miss the proximity to places. The East side is great. From Covenanter you can walk to the mall, Kroger, UPS, Pizza X east, etc etc. Out of all the places I lived in during my 6 years in Bloomington, this is by far my favorite. I think it’s a nice neighborhood and Victoria is a great property manager. I sincerely miss living down here.
TL;DR: This is a nice community. You’re surrounded by nature and it has a relaxed vibe but you’re also close to everything and on 2 major bus lines. The updates are decent and while it’s not like everything is brand-​new, it’s not old either. Staff all around are great: friendly and helpful. I don’t regret living there and would recommend it to anyone.

This is my second review for this place. I had mentioned I can hear EVERYTHING ! I live on the first floor in a townhouse flat so two people live above me. I had complained to management before that I can hear the people above me just walking around – I could even tell that a girl was wearing high heels !! That’s how much I can hear EVERYTHING. With this being said, I hear a lot of noise the other day and I see carpet flying from the second floor to in front of my walk way on my side walk. No consideration for if someone was coming out of the house because they would be plowed in the head by nasty carpet. And no consideration if I was handicapped and needed to use the sidewalk.
Oh I also forgot to mention that I DID NOT receive a courtesy email mentioning that the carpet above me would be taken out and replaced. I figured it out on my own when i could hear the carpet being ripped and thrown right in front of my door.
ANOTHER email that I DID NOT receive was a courtesy email saying that on Friday morning, ten minutes til 8AM to be exact, there will be several men STOMPING up and down the steps and THROWING heavy carpet in the apartment floor above you and then continue to lay the carpet very loudly.
Why would these carpenters start at 10 til AM but the office doesn’t open until 9AM ??? Obviously shit isn’t supposed to happen at least until 9AM is how I take it which is why I am frustrated this is happening and even more frustrated at how rude this is to the other tenants. And not only did I complain this year about the excessive amount of noise I can hear through these floors and walls (no I do not have super sonic hearing) but the fact that they knew I complained and they still do not have the courtesy to tell me this will be happening so early in the morning !
Good thing I don’t have a baby because it would have damn sure been woken up by all these noise.
Disappointed Covenanter …

I moved here last month and everything is great! I love the town house here and the location is also very nice. This is a quiet and safe neighborhood district and the office staffs are all very kind.

I’ve lived at Covenanter Hills for 2 years now and have just resigned my lease for another year. It’s location to the mall, grocery store, restaurants, and 3 bus lines make this place extremely convenient. Parking and noise are never a problem here. The staff are very professional, prompt, and easy to contact. They are very responsive to maintenance and keep the grounds kempt. My only drawback is that there is no recycling. Other than that, it’s a great place to live!
