Great place in Kalamazoo
January 23, 2026The office people are super nice and efficient. Maintenance is quick too, they try to fix things S soon as the request is in, but considering the Kalamazoo Michigan weather, some times things do take longer to fix. Great place, let friendly and comes with in unit washer and dryer.Property Manager Responded

Everything all in one place
August 1, 2025This place is awesome. Wife and I love it. Delann, Lori, and staff are very nice. Brand new carpet and thick walls. Not to mention they have amenities up the wazoo: indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, gym, spa, bbq grills, and food trucks onsite. This place isn't just an apartment complex. Its more like a community. Also, a plus is that its so close to campus near the Arboretum trail and Sprouts daycare is a short walk away. Ain't much not to love about this place.Property Manager Responded
August 5, 2025Hi there, Wow—thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife are loving your home here. DelAnn, Lori, and the rest of the team will be so happy to hear your kind words! It’s great to know you're enjoying the new updates, the peaceful atmosphere, and all the amenities (we agree—there are a lot!). We’re especially glad you feel that sense of community—that’s exactly what we strive for. Thanks again for sharing your experience. We’re lucky to have residents like you who help make this place feel like home!
Review from Apartments.com
Stay away
July 2, 2025It is the worst place you can ever move in with your family. If you are 20, maybe it’s fine, if you value your quality life, look elsewhere where. Rude Customer Service, especially DelAnn, always with attitude and never helpful. Any question you have, she doesn’t know, or says she will do it and never does it. Nobody returns your emails or phone calls. Manager Courtney is always “out” and never returns any phone calls. If you have a leak, wait 3 weeks for someone to come in and look at it and ...another 2 weeks to come and fix it. Parties at the pool at 2-3 am, screaming and drinking. Constant smoking cigarettes & weed and no one does anything about it, even when it’s against the lease. You can smell the cigarette smoke inside of your place and they won’t do anything about it. It’s the worst place. STAY AWAY. Apartments never cleaned prior moving in and Xfinity will take a month to set up the internet.Property Manager Responded
July 11, 2025Hello, Our team works hard to keep our community a harmonious place for everyone to enjoy and call home.

Great start!
March 27, 2025My partner and I recently relocated from Florida to Kalamazoo. Amidst the numerous stresses of moving, securing an apartment at Drake’s Pond was not one of them. DelAnn was incredibly helpful throughout the process, making everything incredibly smooth and effortless.Property Manager Responded

More Helpful Maintenance from Chris
February 7, 2025After my annual apartment inspection (prior to lease renewal), Chris came to my apartment to take care of an outlet that needed a minor repair and a closet door that did not work properly. Chris took off his shoes prior to walking around. I didn't expect that but appreciated it. He repaired my outlet quickly AND checked outlets that work by a light switch to make sure they operated. He also fixed an annoying closet door that did not close. I really liked it that he answered questions and ...explained the doors and outlets to me. He made me feel that it was okay to call maintenance any time and ask questions.Property Manager Responded

Amazing staff!
November 14, 2024The staff at Drake Pond always go above and beyond. From responding to maintenance requests quickly, to helping us carry a new desk upstairs, we've always felt taken care of. Julianne from the leasing office also helped us find another unit within our budget when we otherwise would have needed to move. Looking forward to making more memories at Drakes Pond!Property Manager Responded

Amazing Customer Service
April 25, 2024Went into looking for the perfect apartment thinking it would take months of tours and appointments before finding the right one. Explored Drakes Pond once and knew it was the perfect spot. DelAnn showed great customer service by showing a list of available options and taking the time to follow up with me on questions I had. Definitely looking forward my stay here.Property Manager Responded

Beautiful Quiet Sanctuary
April 6, 2024Let me start off with how beautiful this place is. I love the trees, tall and luscious conifer trees that stay green year round and are absolutely lovely during winter. I love having a cup of coffee with my blinds open, birds chirping. It’s amazing. Secondly, the staff are INCREDIBLE!!! They are so caring and really work with you. I’ve had an amazing experience here and every time I interact with staff. Lori is so kind and helpful, Susan is always a pleasure to talk to and very resourceful, I ...loved working with my leasing agent, Colin who made my move-in smooth and welcoming. I remember them all by name because I care as a resident too. Thirdly, the maintenance is wonderful too! Very quick and so helpful. Kyle is so funny and a hoot to talk to! He’s my go to in case I need a fix, another crew member came in one time, I didn’t catch his name but not only did he do an awesome job fixing my garbage disposal, he taught me how to fix it as well. As a 23 year old girl living on my own, life skills are so greatly appreciated!! All in all, my experience at Drakes Pond has been phenomenal! 10/10, I renewed my lease as well because I love it so much! Thank you to everyone at DP! :)Property Manager Responded
