    August 1, 2023
    These apartments are clearly older, but they are well cared for and clean. The staff here is absolutely unbeatable!!! They are fun, easy going, but also firm! I cannot say enough good things about them. If there is an issue they solve is right away. The apartments are good, especially for the price. I’d recommend to anyone.

  • 4years and I still love it.

    February 11, 2021
    I've lived here 4 years and I don't have any complaints. The office staff to the maintenance men are amazing. The property manager is amazing and always has a smile even when you see him out in the community. They are kind hearted and greet you by name and treat you like more than an apartment number. When I have ever needed something fixed or helped with something Shane has been to my apartment with in 30min and has it done. Even the unfortunate middle of the night maintenence call they are here ...
    with in 30min. They have pest control spray every few months so that we don't have any spiders or unwanted friends in the apartments. Honestly it's been an amazing experience living here. The complex I live in is usually very quiet and the neighbors are very friendly. There are lots of dogs being walked around and all are happy to welcome being pet. When the pool is open (pre covid) it is very well kept and clean making it enjoyable for us as well as our guest.

  • Very friendly environment!

    September 25, 2015
    We were having a horrible time finding a pet friendly apartment that was close to our new jobs. We were just looking on the Internet when we came across Forest Park. We immediately fell in love with it just by the website. We went to the leasing office and we were welcomed as if if was already our home. It has been amazing and the staff is always here for us if we ever need them! I also want to add we signed a lease 2 weeks after we viewed the model apartment! They are just amazing!

  • Not just a building!!

    August 13, 2015
    Our apartment is not just a building. Our apartment is a wonderful community, neighbors and staff become family, and it is a good home. The area is safe and well maintained. It is right next to a hiking trail park. There is a pool, community garden, bbq areas, a relaxing gazebo, and plenty of parking. The staff is what make this place even more wonderful. They are like family member to us. My children knows all of them and I know they are safe. People stay here for many years because it's ...
    home sweet home.
