Buckeye Real Estate

This is my first year leasing from Buckeye Real Estate and it has been an amazing experience so far! My past landlords weren't very responsive to certain property needs and did not do a great job cleaning and getting the house ready prior to move-in date. Buckeye Real Estate has really gone above and beyond to ensure that the property was spotless before I moved in; the carpets in the apartment looked good as new which is as lot to say moving into an apartment in a college town.
The maintenance requests I have placed have been taken care of by the day after the request was placed, which I was amazed by. When I moved in I had some trouble with my fan and a bathroom faucet and I put in a maintenance request and came home the following day to a completely new fan and faucet. And there have been countless other extremely timely fixes they have done for me, including wear-and-tear requests I put in.

I HIGHLY recommend leasing from Buckeye Real Estate! They really care about the people who rent from them and it shows.

Buckeye real estate has been amazing to work with. Every time we have an issue, it is addressed within 24-48 hours which has been amazing. For example, our dishwasher was making a weird noise so we asked for assistance and they came the next day to replace the entire thing! Great service with great workers!

I rarely post reviews but having leased with Buckeye for 4 years I just want to say… their maintenance technicians are the best. They are professional, quick and efficient.
The office personal are always helpful and friendly too.
Thank you Buckeye!!

My son and his friends lived in a 6 bedroom house owned by Buckeye Real Estate for 3 years ending in 2023.

Buckeye is very responsive to maintenance requests. The home was in very good condition and well maintained.

The house did not get broken into like many of the surrounding houses. And they even installed a very bright security light over the backyard and alley when we requested it. I would recommend Buckeye as a landlord.

TIP: Take photos at move in to document any issues that you may later be charged for at move out. Also submit maintenance requests on a timely basis because this landlord charges for everything that needs to be maintained upon move out — even if it is normal wear and tear.

I had a great experience with maintenance. I put in the request for our code lock on the back door battery change and less than 24 hours someone came by and fixed it for us! They were quick and efficient! So thankful!

Just recently I needed to have my A/C replaced and part of my wall patched up from damages. The maintenance staff at Buckeye Real Estate did a great job fixing my problem in a timely manner even though it was a complicated task. The A/C works great and you couldn't even tell there was damage to my wall after they resolved the issue.

We live in an older unit so there are some maintenance issues since we've moved in of course. The maintenance people have always been very prompt and helpful and do actually fix the issues. I've been in places that do a lot of bandaid solutions so it's refreshing when maintenance really does take its time to get it done right.

I’ve had a great experience the past eight months renting from Buckeye Real Estate. The staff is very friendly and maintenance is quick and efficient to calls.

Best lease real estate company in Columbus ,Ohio .They always taking your inquiries and maintenance requests with fast repair and professionalism.thanks again

Our daughter is entering Year 2 with Buckeye Real Estate. There were 8 girls on the lease and 1 of them made the decision to back out of the lease after signing it. There were many technical, financial and legal details and Julie, the manager at Buckeye Real Estate, immediately responded and answered all of our questions, assisting us throughout the process. I was very impressed with the level of service we received!

Really quick response when the furnace in my daughter’s apartment quit at 10:30pm. Called the after hours answering service and got a call back within 5 minutes. Maintenance person arrived with space heaters within an hour and HVAC folks came the next morning and fixed the issue.

My roommate and I love Buckeye Real Estate. We have rented with them for 3 years total. They always respond to maintenance requests on time, any questions about rent/living/moving in/out - they respond quickly and appropriately. The properties are clean, tidy, up to date and accommodating. The staff is professional, friendly and always willing to go above and beyond for us as tenants. We have rented with another company on campus who did not have a professional and knowledgable staff like Buckeye does. We have always been happy with them. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend living with Buckeye Real Estate. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. After living with another company, Buckeye Real Estate is truly leaps and bounds ahead of the rest. From quick maintenance response time for minor repairs to not experiencing any major issues with our unit. Compared to our old unit, the entire process from viewing the unit to signing our lease was quick and efficient. Their lease is the same unit to unit, so student legal services had already reviewed several of their leases when my roommate checked it with them. When it came to moving in and out, the processes was streamlined and efficient despite the volume of people. Overall, my experience with Buckeye Real Estate was nothing but positive.

Although my daughter has yet to actually live in a rental from Buckeye real estate our experience in looking and signing a lease has been very positive. After driving from over an hour away on numerous occasions to view apartments it was obvious Buckeye was superior to the other companies. One reality company never showed and one was 10 minutes late with a key that didn't work. (we never saw that apartment) Then we scheduled with Buckeye. They were ready when we arrived, were able to answer all our questions, and were kind and courteous. They drove us to the locations and even had two employees accompany us since one was new. (She did a fine job) When we actually showed up to lease an apartment there was also another group of girls wanting the same apartment. It became a very uncomfortable and tense situation with the other party becoming argumentative. The employees remained calm and handled the conflict very well without escalating the situation. Thank goodness they had cameras and were able to access them. The cameras showed that we had arrived first (although, the other group said that we had both arrived at the same time.) Regardless of who ended up with the property the employees and company handled the situation with professionalism and kindness. I'm looking forward to my daughter renting from Buckeye and hope the positive experiences will continue.

I was helping my niece look for a place near campus.  She’d had a terrible experience with another local landlord and we were looking for a more positive experience.  The staff at Buckeye Real Estate was friendly and inviting, even though it was quite hectic in the office.  Their process was streamlined and I was really happy to see that all of the information that I needed to know was on their website for easy reference.  I also love the ease of the Tenant Portal system which they use for rental payments and maintenance requests.  I highly recommend them for your next rental near campus!

I submitted two maintenance requests recently and both got completely resolved the next day.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! After reading through other reviews, I was confused and felt like sharing my personal experience leasing through Buckeye Real Estate. When we signed our lease, one of our roommates was unsure if he was was going to stay in Columbus, but needed a place to live if he did. Once he decided he was no longer going to live with us, we struggled to find a replacement. Due to the Buckeye Real Estate's policy, our roommate was unable to be removed from the lease without us signing off on the change. This policy was great, and saved us from possibly getting screwed over by a flakey roomate. Once we found a replacement, the process of doing a lease change was quick and easy. For the duration of our lease, we had quick maintenance for any repair we needed, and we never had anything more than minor repairs. At the end of our lease, we did the deposit delegation option for our security deposit, and had no problems receiving our deposit back in a timely manner. Our unit had a lot out back which we purchased the parking passes for a super cheap price compared to our last apartment. With parking only being $120 for the year, I was amazed with the quality of the lot and simplicity of the purchasing process. WARNING: Shamrock towing does all of their parking monitoring and has no vehicle information. My roommate forgot to put his pass up and was towed, but per the parking agreement he realized it was his mistake. The leasing staff was very helpful and knowledgeable despite being college students. Whenever they had questions, they made sure to check with their managers to ensure they provided us with the proper information. All in all, I highly recommend renting from Buckeye Real Estate, you won't regret it.

I rented from Buckeye Real Estate for over 3 years at 3 different places. If I was looking for housing near the University District, I would definitely return to Buckeye Real Estate. Their in-house maintenance is fast, friendly, and easily accessible for submitting work orders. The leasing staff is willing to help when you have a question or issue, whether it's getting an answer or getting you to the person you should speak with about a problem in a timely manner. Their website is great when you are shopping for apartments, paying rent, or putting in a maintenance request.

You can tell when they walk around campus that they are really trying to take care of their properties!! I would absolutely recommend renting through Buckeye.

Leasing with Buckeye Real Estate has been a very nice experience. I was in a time-crunch to move and someone literally ran down the street to complete the move-in inspection for the unit so that I could have my apartment almost a week ahead of schedule! Maintenance requests are handled very quickly and it is very convenient to fill one out online.

I have rented from Buckeye Real Estate for four years now, and I have been nothing but impressed with their service and commitment to their tenants. When I place a work order for something that needs fixed, they are out within a day to fix it. Their office staff is courteous and helpful whenever I have an issue. The apartment quality is on another level (much better) compared to other campus apartment agencies. I would highly recommend Buckeye Real Estate to any potential tenant looking for an apartment close to Ohio State's campus!!
