I live in a studio apartment in Marlowe and really enjoy living there. The entire building was built around five years ago so everything in the building is nearly brand new, and the property management company is super responsive. You definitely pay a premium to be in a new building so close to campus, but the amenities are all really nice and make it worth it for some. Especially at the beginning of the fall semester, having a pool and outdoor spaces to study was really nice, and the shared grills and common spaces are nice for having guests over. My apartment itself has a nice layout, but for what I am paying I definitely could have more space elsewhere so there is a trade-off. Overall, if it is in your budget, I would definitely consider living in Marlowe!
