I recently moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon from Virginia. Not an easy task. Settling in, love the neighborhood and would recommend this apartment.
Oswego Cove caught my attention on-line. Largest (2 bdrms) with nice amenities (W/D, FP, pool/Jacuzzi, work-out room and free access to Mt. Park Rec Center), non-smoking in my price range. Lacks the high-end interior upgrades, lovely landscaping and spectacular views of some others in the neighborhood, but I find it to be a nice, clean, well
...maintained, spacious (large rooms), quiet complex located in a very nice residential neighborhood with easy access to I-5/Rte 217 and conveniences. I’m happy on the 3rd floor, (the stairs are worth experiencing greater peace, privacy and safety).
Management/office staff top notch! My long list of questions about the apartment and surrounding community were kindly and thoroughly answered, with quick responses and follow-up and pictures to boot! I experienced patience and flexibility to my long distance challenges, and after 2 months I find the same courtesies to be true in-person.
Necessary conveniences are close with a range of options. Ten minutes either direction to major shopping (Bridgeport or Washington Square).
Biggest negatives for me include a lack of closet space - no hall/coat closet! (Somehow that got by me.) No walk-in closet in MBR and no organizationally updated closets (CA closets)! This leaves me lacking closet space big time! The kitchen pantry and linnen closet help! With a larger vanity, MB could have more counter space. Covered old fashion interior lights and bone/beige walls make lighting and atmosphere an issue, both could easily and inexpensively be improved. (Maybe this review will help.)
A few ants visited MB at move-in but have since gone away, and appear to be a non-issue.
Kudos to MOD Pizza for a great free pizza on my first visit!
Pizzicato and Pizza Schmizza (Pricey & $3 delivery fee) need to step it up! 45 min. prior to close, neither could provide their delivery service due to staff shortage. Too bad!
