Overall, Lake Cable Village apartments is not an awful place to live. Now, this is the first apartment building I have ever lived in, so I do not really have anything to compare it to. Choosing the community was a bit of a last minute decision because we needed to move quickly. If you search other reviews like the ones you find on Google or other apartment sites, you will likely see many awful reviews that just completely dogging the place. That is what I mainly wanted to address with this
...review.
On other reviews, you'll see things such as the management lies all the time; the maintenance crew is anything but helpful; places are gross and falling apart; the neighbors are crazy; so on and so forth. Well, yes. A lot of this is true but you also have to make do with everything. This place consists of hundred of apartments inside dozens of buildings. This takes a lot of work to manage and maintain. I used to be so anti-Lake Cable and reading everyone else's reviews online and seeing how accurate they were, only fueled my fire. But, things have really calmed down around there.
Some of the issues that we had included loud, noisy neighbors; rude maintenance workers; attitudes from the leasing office; messy roads from leaves and rain; etc. Well, the folks above us moved out (thank goodness) and we have gotten used to the guy across the hallway who's normal speaking noise is very loud. The attitudes from leasing office, well, that is what it is. From my understanding, there was a management change over here within the last several months so, I suppose that problem worked itself out. The reasoning behind the rude maintenance workers is because they cuss a lot while in your apartment and are super unprofessional. They replaced our AC unit (for free) but they made a really big mess and left marks on our carpet from it. As far as the messy roads and poor upkeep goes, I suppose that falls on the responsibility of the township or the city, I would think.
The moral of my review for Lake Cable Village apartments is that you get what you pay for. These are the most affordable apartments I've noticed in the area that allows pets and pays for the trash/sewer/water. They are responsible for a lot of apartments and a lot of tenants. If you look at everything surrounding you with a negative outlook, than yes, Lake Cable is not for you. The place is not perfect but I'd be weary of a place that claims they were. Lake Cable is great for people starting out, like we are.
