Overview and Location
Fayette Place is a student-oriented apartment building located at Syracuse, NY 13210, USA — roughly in the University Hill area. The address places it within walking distance of Syracuse University’s main campus and also close to downtown Syracuse. The building includes ground-floor retail (Over the Cuse Deli, mentioned in one review), which adds convenience for quick meals or groceries. The property offers parking, laundry facilities, and utility bills included in the rent — a combination that reduces monthly surprise expenses.
The building’s Google rating is 2.7 out of 5 based on 18 reviews, indicating mixed resident sentiment. It is managed by a private operator, not a university housing office.
Who Should Consider Fayette Place
- Students who prioritize location over property management responsiveness. The property sits near campus and downtown, and the presence of a deli downstairs is a genuine convenience. If your daily routine revolves around being close to classes, libraries, or city amenities, the location is a clear advantage.
- Renters who want bills included in the monthly payment. With electricity, water, heat, and possibly internet rolled into the rent (the tag “bills_included” confirms this), you avoid separate utility sign-ups and monthly budgeting for fluctuating costs. This is especially helpful for international students or first-time renters.
- Those who need a parking spot. Parking in university neighborhoods can be scarce and expensive. Fayette Place offers on-site parking (tagged “parking”), which is a practical benefit if you own a car.
- People who don’t mind older building conditions as long as the apartment interior is modern. One resident (Justin Martinez) describes the apartments as “modern,” suggesting that units may have been renovated recently. If you value kitchen and bathroom finishes, the interior might meet expectations.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
- Residents who are sensitive to smoke odors or want a strictly non-smoking building. Two of the three available reviews cite smoking issues. Jack JB Kim states: “they knowingly allow tenants to smoke cigarettes and marijuana indoors.” If smoke migrates between units or through shared hallways, this can be a deal breaker for non-smokers or anyone with respiratory concerns.
- Anyone concerned about package security and personal safety. Both low-rated reviews mention package theft and break-ins. Sam Campbell writes about a vehicle break-in: “getting my vehicle getting broken into left a sour taste in my mouth … Mine was only one of the many who got broken into in.” Jack JB Kim adds: “Your packages also get stolen by your neighbors all the time. You will actually feel unsafe in your own bedroom.”
- People who rely on responsive property management. Sam Campbell describes “horrible apartment management and disregard for their residents health or safety.” While a single review may not represent the full picture, combined with the overall low rating (2.7), it suggests management responsiveness is below what many renters expect.
- Students on a tight, fixed budget who need price certainty. The property’s rent is not publicly listed; we only have a city-wide “from price” of USD 820 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Without knowing the actual range for Fayette Place, you may need to contact the operator to compare against other Syracuse options. If the rent is significantly above the city baseline, it might not match your budget.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews from Google are available. Below are verbatim excerpts:
Justin Martinez (Rating: 5)
“Fayette Place has been a great place to live. The apartments are modern, the location is close to Syracuse University and downtown, and having Over the Cuse Deli right downstairs is a huge plus. The staff is helpful and responsive, which makes the experience even better.”
Sam Campbell (Rating: 1)
“Aside from the horrible apartment management and disregard for their residents health or safety it’s actually a very nice place to live. I will say getting my vehicle getting broken into left a sour taste in my mouth but all is well who needs a driver’s side window. Mine was only one of the many who got broken into in ” (the original text ends mid-sentence).
Jack JB Kim (Rating: 1)
“Do not rent from this place. As you can see from other reviews, they knowingly allow tenants to smoke cigarettes and marijuana indoors. Your packages also get stolen by your neighbors all the time. You will actually feel unsafe in your own bedroom.”
These three reviews represent the extremes of opinion (one positive, two negative). No middle-ground reviews are publicly available. The positive review highlights location, modern interiors, and responsive staff, while the negatives focus on safety, management, smoking, and theft. The divergence suggests experience may vary significantly by unit, floor, or tenancy timeline.
Pricing and Room Types
Fayette Place offers one-bedroom apartments (unit types: “1b” and “apartment”). No studio or shared-bedroom options are listed. The price is not disclosed in available data. As a reference, the city of Syracuse has a monthly rent starting from approximately USD 820 for student housing properties (indicative — confirm with the operator). Without Fayette Place’s actual price, you cannot determine if it is above or below that baseline. You should ask the operator for the current rent for the specific unit type and lease duration.
Rent includes utilities (bills included), which can add USD 100–200 in value compared to apartments where you pay separate electricity, gas, water, and internet bills. Parking is also included as a facility tag, though it’s unclear if that costs extra. Confirm parking fees with the operator.
Available from 6 July 2026. That means the earliest move-in date for the next cycle is summer 2026 — typical for academic-year leases starting in June or July. If you need a lease beginning August or September, check if later move-in dates are possible.
Booking Timing
The property’s availability date is 6 July 2026. For students planning to start studies in fall 2026 (August–September), you have a window from now (assuming this article is read in early 2025 or 2026) to sign a lease. Given the mixed reviews, it is advisable to:
- Visit the property in person or request a virtual tour to gauge noise levels, smoke smells, and overall maintenance.
- Ask about package delivery procedures (do they have a secure mailroom or package locker?).
- Inquire about smoking policies and enforcement.
- Check if the posted availability date is firm for 2026 or if earlier/later move-in can be negotiated.
If you are a current tenant considering renewal, the operator may offer renewal rates before the July 2026 date. For new tenants, start reaching out around early 2026 to secure a unit before the summer move-in rush.
