Oct 2019: My girls have lived here several years since they opened. It's pet friendly (even though they didnt have pets) , close to the UT library, restaurants and pharmacy on Cumberland. The standard apts are a safe and secure place to live near campus. Review from Google
Jul 2019: Maintenance staff is extremely friendly and truly care about the property, from my understanding this was not the case with the previous team. Office staff is friendly and as helpful as they can be. Overall great environment Review from Google
Jun 2019: My daughter moved to the Standard in Fall 2018. Move-in day was nightmarish (few carts, long lines, one working elevator). Some apartments had been accidentally double-leased. My daughter's bedroom door wouldn't lock (so no way to secure her laptop and other items). One of the bedrooms didn't have a mattress. The carpets were literally shredded. Apparently whoever had leased the unit before had a dog and had left it closed in my daughter's bedroom, and the dog had dug under the bedroom door, leaving a row of bare carpet tacks for her to step on. The Standard was under new management, so I tried to be nice, especially with the students working the desk (other parents were actively taking their anger out on them, which is unfortunate). The problems with the apartment were eventually resolved, but we received no refund or compensation of any sort. A few months later, when the lease was due for renewal, a glitch on the Standard website prevented one roommate's renewal from going through on time, although she had received verbal assurances from management that it was all good Review from Google
Jun 2019: Great pricing considering the only utility you'd have to pay is electricity. Cable comes with the rent but can be frustrating with the kind of package the building has. The internet speed is great as well and the location of the building is perfect for a student. But that's about all the positives I can think of. The materials used for the building are very cheap. You'll hear every noise from outside your apartment. You would walk in a trashed apartment building on the weekends. The elevators would usually have broken glass, beer cans, vomit and the place would smell absolutely horribly. The apartment building is pet friendly but that's about where it stops. They do not hold anyone accountable neither does it seem like they try to police the tenants that have dogs. There would always be an array of dog poop around the perimeter of the building. The fire alarm would go off at least once every two weeks in the middle of the night but there will be no fire Review from GoogleJun 2019: Super rude. Girl at front desk proceeded to laugh at me when I asked for prices. I recommend hiring someone who wants to do their job. Review from GoogleMay 2019: I decided last minute that I was staying in Knoxville for the summer, and The Standard was so accommodating during this stressful time. The staff was so friendly! I put in a work order to have my batteries changed in my smoke alarm and it was completed within an hour. I love living here, and I am excited to move into a 4-bedroom in the fall. Review from GoogleMay 2019: not worth the money at all. I could get a way nicer place for half the price. I understand that you are essentially paying for the location but I would rather drive to school everyday than have to deal with this complex and their staff again. They do not care about the residents at all, there are holes in the walls in the hallways everywhere. I had a huge maintenance issue right when I moved in and it has taken now almost 3 weeks to fix it, when my dad could of came and got it done in 3 days max. I have to call for updates about it regularly because I don't want to be in the way of them replacing sheet rock, and I haven't been able to sleep there since the moved all my furniture. The leasing office is so rude. The place was so poorly built. I could go on and on, but honestly it would be way too long. Overall, this place should get 0 stars. don't live here. Review from GoogleMar 2019: This place is a dump and has been reported to the State Attorney’s office and Code Enforcement for having biological waste all over the property in the elevator, in the stairs in all the hallways. It’s disgusting! Don’t fall for the manufactured reviews by staff, this place is disgusting!!! Calls to Corporate do nothing at all, hoping they get shut down and fined!!

Mar 2019: Overpriced and unmaintained. The grounds are disgusting.I moved to The Standard this year and I’ve had a horrible experience. It’s really not worth the money imo. It’s definitely a party building - - noise is really bad and lots of rowdy people at night. Maintenance allows pet waste and other hazardous substances including vomit to be caked onto the floors in the hallways, stairwells, and elevators for weeks. Garbage is left on the ground. I never see any cleaning staff. Vandalism occurs weekly, fire alarms are knocked out, holes in the walls. Elevators were down for a month and they are super slow. Urine and feces all over the floors and walls. Elevators are filled with garbage. Several floors reak of marijuana. Noise is excessive. I can hear a dude playing electric guitar in another unit literally at all hours. Maintenance would not replace a faulty door instead telling us to “kick the door in†when my roommates and I have been locked out because the door is too tight on the door frame Review from GoogleFeb 2019: Love living here! Management is always accommodating and it’s always a great experience when I go through the lobby. Great staff that will always have your best interest at heart!Jan 2019: If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This place is DISGUSTING. The stairwells are covered in throw up, dog feces, and spilled beer. Just this week I walked by an opened Plan B box. The hallways are always sticky and there are holes in almost every wall from drunk frat boys. The music level EVERY NIGHT from residents is incredibly disrespectful and staff doesn't do much about it. The walls are not insulated, so you can hear everything. The location is convenient but I'd rather walk 2 miles to class every day then ever live here again.
Also notice how there are either 1 star or 5 star reviews. The 1 star reviews are from people who ACTUALLY live here and the 5 stars are from staff and people who have signed but not lived here yet. Review from GoogleDec 2018: The staff are generally unfriendly and the complex lied to me about pricing. In the end, it took over a month to get my final price, and they told me it would be $1000 instead of the initial $800. I paid over $200 in application fees and when I called, I was told I could get a refund for that. They connected me to a very rude woman who told me I wasn't getting anything back. They also wouldn't even show me a room when I was applying because they said it was under construction, and to check in a few weeks later. After a month, I still couldn't see a room. This place has the most unfriendly staff, overpriced rooms, and are extremely arrogant. They will do ANYTHING to keep your money. Please don't rent here. You have to be basically rich to afford this place with all its unnecessary fees ($200 to run a background check???). Even if you can afford Review from Google
Dec 2018: I have lived here since January 2018 and am moving out Dec. 2018 for reference. not worth the money. This place is advertised as premiere student living and it is anything but. I'm not sure where to begin. First of all you can find places much cheaper in the same part of town. They provide internet and satellite TV but the channel list is small, it doesn't even have some local sports stations. The internet speed is mediocre on a good day. And the Ethernet port in my room has never worked. I spent about 2 months trying to get them to fix it but they never did and I gave up asking. One Monday night at 10 pm, maintenance people came into my unit with no notice at all. It scared me to death as I thought someone had broken in. (It was so they could vacuum a bedroom that one of my roommates had recently moved out of). So I would say tenant privac Review from Google
Nov 2018: How come we see the porter only walk around he doesn't clean anything else he toilets for the pool have had shit in the he stairwells completely filty never cleans the garages what a waste get us, but the housekeeper is great she cleans everything.Oct 2018: don't waste your time and money on this apartment. I regret ever signing a lease with them. I guarantee you can find a better place like this in the fort with much more professional staff and less costly living for hundreds less than what I spent here (+$800 a month after utitlies and required insurance are added, can be $100 more a month with parking). First off, the staff will give you false promises and conflicting information. They'll say anything to you to get you to sign your lease and if they give you a promise, then you better have audio or written evidence of whatever they tell you (no fees, no sec deposit, etc) because they will go back on their word and say that they never offered you that if you provide no evidence. I don't know how many property managers this place has been through because everytime I ask to speak to one, I speak to a different personOct 2018: So far staff has been helpful and a pleasure to work with. During signing, the mamnager Jessica was a huge help and was willing to answer my multiple quesitons. I cannot wait to start living here next year and to see what the community is like. Review from GoogleOct 2018: I had an amazing experience living at the Standard and can't wait to live there again next year. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and the amenities are great. The best student housing in Knoxville. Review from GoogleOct 2018: Working and living at The Standard has been the best decision I have ever made. Even before I worked here the staff always made me feel like I was a priority. I suggest living in one of the penthouse units they are amazing!! Review from GoogleAug 2018: My daughter was supposed to move yesterday. When she arrived someone else was moving into her room. She said politely that that was her room, and they said not any more. Yvonne went with a staff member and he told them the same thing and the group of people said not its not now. We signed a contract and the room number is stated on the contract. At this point Jessica has offered no help to get this person out of her room. Yvonne now is afraid this person will have retribution toward her and her pet if she does anything. since this person has no respect for other people of their property. So much for college helping people grow. Yvonne is not in her room or the standard. They do have my money I paid for the room though. I contacted a lawyer and it may take awhile but if they do not make good on the contract I feel I have no other recourse. Luckily I live in town.Aug 2018: Just returned home after another day of no resolution. One student is in my child's room. The Standard management "Jessica" refuses to handle the situation. It is an easy resolution. Request child that is in my child's room to move into her designated room per the contract. My child is still not staying at the standard and we will get a lawyer on Monday if this is not resolved. Review from GoogleJun 2018: don't trust the good reviews, they cannot be real. This is the worst place, never live here. Everything you can possible imagine goes wrong with this place. Its dirty, stinks, horrible management, way overpriced. I have had several issues such as maintanace walking into my apartment without notice, (once without even knocking they came into the wrong apartment!!), broken keys-which they charge you $75 to replace, fire alarms in the middle of the night, and water leaking from my ceiling. There are so many other great places to live this place is awful. Review from GoogleApr 2018: The Standard is very well kept at all times. The staff is friendly and the doors lock and a security guard is onsite during off hours. Makes me feel that my child’s safety is their ultimate concern. It has great amenities with a pool, fitness room, tanning beds, private mail boxes, game room, study room with free Starbucks coffee for late night studying.
Overall it is an awesome place to live in Knoxville! Review from GoogleApr 2018: I have loved living here since it has opened! All of the staff and maintenance team are definitely top tier and are always trying to find ways to make the experiences better for the students who live here. They have great events put on by the community ambassadors and I have met so many great people.
Also, there are so many peaceful places at this complex where I can sit back and ponder my great decision to live here. :) Review from GoogleApr 2018: can't say it enough: NO NOT LIVE HERE unless you want to live in a nasty dog pound. This has been the most unpleasant living experience. Not only are there more dogs than people, but dog poop and piss are not only constantly in the exterior grass ( people do not clean up after their dog) but dog feces is up and down the hallways inside the building. I never desired to live with the dog but have found my self stuck living with a dog who is allowed to jump up and eat off kitchen counters, jump on furniture, piss inside the apartment, and jump on anyone who enters the apartment. I have repeatedly voiced my health concerns to the office staff only to be met with rudeness and ultimate defense of the bad behaviors of the dog. This has been going on for half a year, and still no resolve. The price is not worth the quality of the apartments. Additi Review from GoogleApr 2018: Hi!
Do NOT live here! My friend is a tenant here and I come to visit quite often. This place is a slum! Dog poop and pee fill the halls and people ignore it! Not to mention, there are a couple of times the hallway smelled like weed.
I considered living here when I was relocating, but I decided not to. They just simply aren’t worth the money. You can rent a house for what you pay here. There is also always something wrong with the key sensor and her washer machine sucks. The gym is nice, but machines are always broken. The bathroom is nice though, I love the tub, but you can get a nice tub anywhere;
Anywho, as a student you want a place where you can come home and RELAX. This place ain’t it. You probably get more of a break at the library. Review from Google
