Poor management, Overpriced, Would not live here again
It's time that people know the truth about Sparks 2. This place is awful. A pipe broke underneath our apartment a few weeks back and their negligence to our situation after the fact is outrageous and downright shameful. Stay away from Sparks!

Management

There are MANY bad stories dealing with management here, but let's stick with our broken pipe.

So, when the pipe broke, half of our apartment was unlivable for two days straight (all we had was a place to sleep) and we had to eat out for three. Their offer for reimbursement? Just a few pizzas. When I pressed the issue, they refused to offer any further compensation. You would think a place that makes over $73,000 a MONTH in rent money (keep in mind, utilities are charged on a usage base after a flat rate) would take better care of their tenants, but no.

Yes, that is a jackhammer in our apartment. Yes, the oven is in the living room

in that picture. When they determined that the pipe had indeed broke underneath our apartment, our kitchen turned into a construction zone. When an apartment complex is about 50 years old, and things like this happen, you begin to wonder... "why haven't renovated/updated the whole complex? Why are they selling contracts for next year?" Because things like this are going to keep happening.

The ward here is great, very united and always willing to help one another. The apartments are the nicest of the vicinity, very well upkept. Maintenance is quick; nothing stays broken for more than a day. The only downsides I've noticed are the volume of the HVAC system fan in

the living room and that the bedrooms are a little small (although, I am living in one of the smaller, discounted apartments). Other than that, some of the greatest-value apartments I've seen. The lounge is very convenient, and the hot tub and pool are great. It's also right by the city bus stop, and the shuttle to BYU stops right beside it. All in all, most excellent.

There's plenty of storage, with the closets and under-the-stairs space in the living room. They just

installed brand new TVs, which are super nice. I feel like my apartment's a little small, but as I mentioned, I'm paying less for a smaller assignment, so that's to be expected.

Inconvenient location, Safe, Nothing to write home about
Sparks is a cheap place with townhouse style living which I have thoroughly enjoyed. While it is far from campus, there is a bus stop less than 5 minute walking distance and BYU Ryde shuttle comes twice every hour. The office staff are very easy though sometimes hard to get

a hold of. Their online payment system can be annoying because if you choose e-check it takes a couple of days to process and there is a fee. Overall, I have enjoyed my stay at Sparks here due to just the easiness of living here.

Great location, Old, Responsive management
Overall, I've really enjoyed my time at Sparks II. The location is close to BYU campus, and it's nice to have VASA so close as well. I have also had VERY POSITIVE experiences with management at the complex (the current management has been here since May 2022 as far as

I know). They plan activities that are genuinely fun to attend, are kind people, and response times have always been quick. The price increases for rent are a bit hard on the wallet, but rent everywhere in Provo has been going up, so it only makes sense. Also, the ward community is amazing.

because the rent is pretty cheap, people are pretty humble in the complex. It is pretty social during the summer. the apartment its self is very ugly. They have not updated it for 40 years. cleaning checks are nice, but they are really strict if you don't clean the tub

or the oven right.

Great location, Responsive management, Old
Perhaps the most honest thing I can say about Sparks II is that it grows on you. The first week I was here, I thought for sure I was going to have to find somewhere else to move. The apartments are old, and I had to kill several bugs the

first few days and I HATE bugs. But after the first week or so, once there were people actively living in the apartment, the number of bugs has (thankfully) gone down significantly. I think I’ve only had to kill one spider and a handful of flies since then. After that first week, I spent probably a month and a half looking for new places to live next year, thinking there was no way I was coming back. But a few months in, I have decided I’m going to live here next year and probably the rest of my college career. Some important things to note: -My contract is for Fall/Winter for a 4 person apartment. The baseline rent is $425, but with utilities, rent is around $500 a month. -In a 4 person apartment, there is only one bathroom. I think on the website it says there’s a half-bath downstairs, but that is not the case. However, we’ve never really had issues working the 4 of us through the bathroom. -Most of the stuff in the apartments is pretty old, and sometimes it just falls apart, but the maintenance team is really good about getting stuff fixed quick. -The people here are AMAZING. I cannot stress that enough. They are fantastic. The people are the reason I am coming back here next year. I’m not super social, but they make me want to be. I’ve lived in Sparks II for 4 months at this point, and I don’t notice any of the things that bothered me in the beginning. If your goal is to have a super cute apartment, this isn’t the place for you. (Not that it’s impossible for your apartment to be cute, but they’re reallly old). But I’m coming back, and honestly, I’d really recommend living here.

(you do have to pay) and the pool/ hot tub are as well! Fantastic wifi. No real problems, or at least none that a responsible adult can't handle. Love this place and will live here for a while.

Sparks is a good community. The maintenance team is magnificent, they often come and resolve issues on the same day! The living rom and dining room are good sizes. I have slight issues with the amount of cupboard and fridge space sharing with 6 other people. But it is partially

my fault as I have a lot of cooking supplies and keep a lot of food on hand at a time. The bedrooms are good sizes and the desks are plenty big. My main issue comes from how cramped the fridge is, but depending on your roommates this may not be an issue. The pool is convenient and nice to have. Our hot tub is open year round and is very enjoyable on a winter night or a summer evening. It’s a good place to live.

The people at Sparks 2 are down to earth and friendly. I've had a lot of fun here and met great friends. Most of the people that live here are at least sophomores in college, and some have already graduated, although there are a few residents fresh out of high

school. The office staff has also been very friendly. The apartments themselves are pretty old and not fancy, and all things considered I think they are too expensive, but still on the cheaper end for college apartments.

Overall, Sparks II is a reasonable choice for a variety of reasons. My favorite part about Sparks is the the layout. There is not only a spacious kitchen, but the rooms are upstairs giving a lot of privacy. The maintenance crew is very fast to attend to any issues. As

far as the quality of the living spaces, the carpets are pretty old, as well as the couches and pretty much everything else, but the apartment is still a very functional place to live. There are monthly cleaning checks which are beneficial because it forces you and your roommates to keep the place clean, but they are pretty tough critics of your cleaning jobs. Another great perk to living here is the location in relation to BYU campus. It's about a 15 minute walk, situated directly behind Vasa fitness, and there are two different options of busses you can take to campus making the commute very easy.

I just need to say first, the management is very reasonable, and they are very clear with their expectations. That being said, the monthly cleaning checks are tiresome, not helpful. The policy invites people to wait till the next cleaning check because, "that's not *my* job!" Now, that's obviously dependent

on the roommate, but I feel that the policy encourages it. The price is too high, as well- some complexes have private rooms and a community gym for 480/ mo., or in unit washers and dryers. It's just priced too high! The air conditioning is so, so loud. I talked to a technician about it, he says it's because the apartments were designed weird, and the pump to move the air all around the house is what's so loud. It seems negligable, but I'm being honest when I say it makes being in the living room irritating. Maitenence is quick and efficient though, and that's been nice.
