I’ve lived in Bart Villa for two years, and I think the complex is pretty much exactly as advertised. Pros: cheap rent, large units, and close to campus. Cons: Older units. It works for me, but it isn’t for everyone.

I moved into Bart Villa 6 months ago and so far its been really great! I was nervous about moving to Bloomington with my dogs, but the complex is so pet friendly. The courtyard makes me feel really comfortable at night. I would recommend Bart Villa to anyone!

If you're an IU graduate student, staff member, or honestly anything involving the university, I highly recommend Bart Villa. The location is so convenient, the cost is affordable, the points of contact are all so nice (shout out Heidi and Kelsey and Nate and everyone else!). Super pet friendly. Of the like 10 ish apartments I've lived in across the country, this has been the best experience!

Bart Villa has been a great first home for my wife and I this past year. Within walking distance of the IU Bloomington campus and a park across the street, we are always staying active with walking. The community and management are very friendly, and the property is well taken care of with a variety flowers and bushes. I am always seeing neighbors use the community courtyard for family cookouts or just enjoying the birds chirping on a Saturday morning. Two things to be aware of: (i) the... community laundry is somewhat expensive (~$2.50 per load per machine) and not many machines for the whole community, and (ii) moving large items in and out of the unit can be cumbersome as most of the parking is separated from the units and there is no elevator to the 2nd floor. Overall, we have been thoroughly pleased with living at Bart Villa and would recommend it as a great value place to live. Read More

I've been a tenant at Bart Villa for two years now and Deer Park Management for three. I could not recommend this management group enough. I email them frequently and they always respond, always address the problem (in various capacities), and are always kind. Whether it be new flooring, pest control, or any other issue I have had, they always come through, and it makes my life so much simpler. Truly, it's worth any cost, and these units don't cost that much. 11/10, highly recommend!
