As an introvert who has lived here for 6 years:The Pros: it's pretty (& it's close to Hueston Woods), the rent is affordable, access to the U-4, it's (mostly) quiet, the work-out room is fantastic, and the staff is helpful. I don't get the general guff @ the managers in the other reviews: they've always been great in my experience.The Cons: The wifi (wifi calls and video sharing with friends will often buffer, and the wifi will blackout for about 24-36 hours every 2 months in my experience. They were very responsive with giving updates last blackout, but historically that hasn't been the case), I've had my next door neighbors partying into late hours and making it hard for me to sleep, groceries are a bit of a struggle without a car, and I wish there were more events that brought the community together that catered to my interests (grill outs and pool/pizza parties aren't my style: book clubs or board game nights or something would be more my ideal).I've always stuck with Hawks Wifi rather than getting my own router, and I think it's serviceable enough to work (though I do think a change in service provider is in order, perhaps making it work with streaming/gaming should be a focus). The bus is very reliable to getting to campus, but getting back is usually a 15-20 minute walk. I've never been that bothered by it though.On the whole, I don't plan on leaving unless circumstances takes me somewhere else. It's a nice place, and I don't see it reasonably being beat.

Everyone in the office is super helpful and nice! The amenities are wonderful and the rent includes so many things you wouldn’t think of for how affordable it is. Maintenance is always fast and ready to respond. Overall it is a great place to live!

i would not recommend this apartment complex. i lived here from august 2021 to july 2023, and had many issues. the good things about this place are that maintenance is timely and the hot tub is nice (even though they opened it two months later this year)other than that, it is not great. i did not have internet access for the entirety of my last semester there, and had to use my hotspot just to do my schoolwork or even watch tv, which was quite expensive. the real kicker is the exorbitant move out fees. when i moved in, the place was not the cleanest and already had scratches on the furniture and dirt in the windowsills. my roommates and i took a full day just to clean the place in and out, and i was still charged $1600 for cleanup fees. $1000 of that was them charging me for a new couch and lounge chair (which are definitely not worth that much) because the old set had scratches on it from my cat- which weren’t visible from even a couple feet away. i understand replacing the furniture if the apartment had overall good standards, but it wasn’t even that well cleaned when i moved in. when i called to ask if i could have the couch and lounge chair- since i now own them because i paid the $1000 for them, management told me that they already threw them away. throwing away a perfectly good couch- not even donating it or contacting me to see if i want it- is disgusting and wasteful. extremely unsustainable business practices. now i am out $1600 and don’t even have the furniture to resell to make up some of the money that i wasted.

Internet never works. They'll respond and say they fixed it but they have not. There's junk cars sitting in the parking area that they won't take care of. Maintenance men will come in without giving notice; it doesn't matter if you locked the door. No notice at all. They charge almost a thousand dollars in fees on move but they don't function as a security deposit. Ontop of that there's a cleaning fee when you move out(even if you left the place clean). So the cost of this place isn't what it seems. If you have a pet that's another $300 fee that does NOT function as a deposit. Just more money in their pocket. There is NO way to break the lease. so if you sign, you're stuck. Manager is rude on the phone. The young workers they have are nice but the manager and assistant manager are both very bitter people. If you want to be online at all, add the cost of another internet company plan to your bill. Every neighbor I have has their own internet that they pay extra for because the one offered here is so unreliable.

Don't live here unless you want a horror story like mine. I lived at Hawks Landing from September of 2020 to July of 2022. If you are a student or anyone who regularly needs reliable WiFi to complete work, don't live here. They constantly have WiFi outages that last up to 1 or 2 entire days at a time making it difficult to do anything that requires WiFi. The staff in the office, specifically the younger staff are lovely and super helpful. The managers however, are not. They always had a bad attitude no matter what you were in the office for and never seemed to want to deal with your issue. When I was moving out my roommate was not as they decided to stay for another year. I cleaned my bathroom and room as well as the cleaned up the main area but was still charged for a cleaning fee for carpets and bathroom. If they want say it wasn't up to par for a new move in that's ok, but I was also charged for a "dirty communal area" even though someone was still living there who wasn't leaving. I called the office to complain about the fees and the manager wouldn't let me explain without cutting me off. The conversation ended in her just saying, "Well it doesn't matter anyway so we are still charging you." I also know multiple other people who have had similar experiences and moved to a different apartment complex because of similar issues as well people who are still living there, with these same issues. The WiFi has been so bad that they go home or over to my apartment or back to campus to take exams, do homework, or take meetings. If you looking for housing with reliable and consistent WiFi and polite management staff, live somewhere else.

Taylor in the front office was extremely helpful in getting me set-up to live in Hawks this school year. Hawks is a little bit far from campus but for the price and all the amenities like the pool and gym It was hard to pass up. I never had any issues with maintenance or crazy neighbors, it's been a pleasure living here this year.

Employees are quick and friendly (maintenance and office).Gym is convenient.Who can beat free coffee in the office?The pool and hot tub are a great time.The office always has free snacks and sometimes free meals.This place would be great if it wasn’t the cheapest housing in Oxford but it IS.

I have lived here for 3 years and Hawks is great. They always have food in the office, the pool and hot tub are fun when it’s warm, the gym and business center are open 24/7, and maintenance is easy to get ahold of if you need help with anything. Rent is reasonable and even though it’s not the closest to campus but there is a bus stop like a block away.

Lived here for 2 years because of the great staff, maintenance, & amenities. Free parking, wifi, 24 hr gym & pool all with low rent is just something you can’t get anywhere else in Oxford!

Hawks landing is perfect for any student who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a place to live during the school year. It has great amenities such as the pool and hot tub. The staff is always friendly and happy to help. Overall I would recommend living here to anyone looking for housing.

This is a great complex for students at Miami. Reasonable rents, nice amenities, and easily accessible to the campus and bus lines. Highly recommend Hawks Landing!

Honestly a great place to live, cheap rent, good services, friendly and helpful staff, easy parking. The only downside is the distance from campus but if you don't have a car there is a bus stop that is within walking distance.

Currently living in the Hawks Landing as a graduating, senior from the University of Miami. And just wanted to write a little review on the place I've been living at for the last semester. if anyone is trying to look for a place to live, I would recommend any other place, but this one as of the last semester spring term we haven't had three weeks of solid service for one we had a Wi-Fi outage the first week for a total of four days then after that, we had an issue with our dryer, and to top it all off we had a pipe burst in our place that flooded the entire apartment or nearly the entire apartment except for our rooms this is the only time I will give the apartment management any credit as they did deal with it rather relatively quickly and efficiently however, this is still an issue that has happened within a period of three weeks. And at the end of this three weeks, we just had another Wi-Fi outage. Overall, Hawks Landing has Shadi service at best and if you want to make the best experience with your money, I would go elsewhere as if you are a student in college who has trip due dates and have things do on the computer and require a solid connection to the Internet then you really out of luck if you live here. I don't want to drag on the people who are in charge of the apartment too much as my experience they are nice people. I'm just very frustrated with the lack of attention that our issues have been getting in regards to our buildings Wi-Fi. Finally, I will say that if the Wi-Fi issue wasn't so prevalent, then this place would not be such a bad place to live. Of course it would have its issues but other than that I don't think you would have a bad experience, but since the Wi-Fi issue is so prevalent. Specially, for my building, it really hampers the overall experience for you, as it has for me.

overall I’ve had a great experience at Hawks Landing. One of the amenities I would like to perform better would be the Wi-Fi just because I am a college student and it tends to be slow sometimes especially if I’m doing homework it’s hard. recently it has improved but sometimes it’s still difficultbesides not having a printer available always a workout room a pool and a hot tub and a sand volleyball court are great bonuses especially during the summer because it gives a lot of things to do with your friends

The apartment complex is great all around. The representatives are super helpful. Overall, a great option despite the distance to campus for students. The distance is accommodated through the bus service though!
