  • Great place in Kalamazoo

    January 23, 2026
    The 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.

  • Everything all in one place

    August 1, 2025
    This 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.

  • Stay away

    July 2, 2025
    It 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.

  • Great start!

    March 27, 2025
    My 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.

  • More Helpful Maintenance from Chris

    February 7, 2025
    After 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.

  • Amazing staff!

    November 14, 2024
    The 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!

  • Amazing Customer Service

    April 25, 2024
    Went 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.

  • Beautiful Quiet Sanctuary

    April 6, 2024
    Let 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! :)
