What are people saying abour our Bloomington apartments?

Some of the best deals in town

I lived with Elkins for three years during my time as a student at IU. They were always very helpful with any issues I had and acted in a very friendly and professional manner. Compared to some of the other property companies I lived with, their rental prices are some of the best deals in town.
