  • Look for somewhere else to rent!

    May 13, 2026
    I lived at Lake Shore Park for about 6 years, and I would not recommend it. The cost does not match the quality. Rent was high, extra monthly fees were added, and the apartments did not feel properly updated or maintained. The same washers and dryers stayed in our building the entire time we lived there and broke down often. The pools also seemed to be closed frequently for one reason or another. Communication was another major issue. In my experience, calls and emails often went unanswered, ...
    and when we did get a response, it did not feel professional or helpful. We dealt with repeated maintenance concerns, including bathroom mold that came back shortly after being treated and dishwasher mold that was not properly addressed. We also experienced frequent odors in the building, stolen packages, items stolen from our vehicle, and safety concerns serious enough that we installed our own cameras. When we first moved in around 2019/2020, it felt more locally managed. Over time, especially under corporate ownership/management, it felt like tenant concerns mattered less. Move-out has been just as frustrating. After 6 years, we were charged for a full repaint, even though normal wear and tear should be expected after that length of tenancy. Even after disputing the charge and asking for clarification/documentation, they still insisted we pay for a full repaint. My advice to future tenants: document everything, take photos, save every email, watch the extra fees, and carefully review your move-out charges.

  • Hubble/Indigo ruins peaceful property

    December 3, 2021
    I have lived here for nearly 4 years. This place was so amazing when Bill and Marjean ran things, they actively cared and were easy to get a hold of when we needed to. You could even find Bill walking around picking up litter any day of the week. They really cared! Unfortunately they both retired in 2020, and now the place is run by Hubble-or Indigo- but it's the same hubble staff according to the emails. While having apps and online lease signing is needed since last year, it takes away the ...
    idea that anyone cares about those of us who pay to live here. Especially because the office only works "business hours" and refuses to help outside of those hours. The units themselves are nice and clean, although idk how well things are being maintained with new management. (Our carpet has clearly been beat up and even had a large patch replaced-with the wrong color on the day we moved in as we got to see it for the first time-and they didn't replace it.) The neighbors who moved in above us a month later (into the unit we were told we would be moving into, only to have it suddenly switched at the last second) have been massively disruptive and obnoxious almost everyday since June. I have complained multiple times and was told they "can't" do anything and that all I can do is call the police. This feels wholly unfair and as if management is willfully neglectful of tenets violating the lease with loud obnoxious parties, guests, and disregard for others in the building because it isn't when they are here to see it.

  • Awful New Management

    November 3, 2021
    Hubbell is the worst thing to happen to Lakeshore. They’ve completely destroyed the best apartment complex in Ankeny. I lived here for many years and loved it, but will not continue. Under old management your rent included free DirecTV, free 100mbps internet, and free water/sewer/trash. Hubbell now charges you for everything in addition to their high rent. They’ve clearly also cheaped on cleaning, landscaping, and snow removal. The lobby consistently stinks and is dirty, the grass/bushes/rocks ...
    aren’t maintained, and lastly snow removal is minimum and delayed (sidewalks shoveled width of shovel, night after snowfall). The apartments are nice, don’t get me wrong, but now nothing makes Lakeshore special from the rest. Do yourself a favor and invest your rent elsewhere, not associated to Hubbell.

  • Horrible New Management

    September 1, 2021
    Since Hubbell took over the monthly costs have gone up at least $100 a month, along with the removal of the included TV. Don't expect more than a day's notice for them having to enter your apartment (even if they require you to move all your furniture). If you have a problem don't expect a speedy reply from management (or one at all). Since they took over we have gotten near-monthly reminders that anything and everything that is broken or damaged will be charged to you along with a comprehensive ...
    list of everything and its cost. Overall the price is not worth it and even if it was affordable I would still not recommend it due to the management. The one plus side is that for paying significantly more per month you can get an ice cream cone every few months. Note that the one star is the minimum, if I could this would have gotten zero stars.

  • Terrible new management

    June 16, 2021
    I’ve lived here with prior management and now the new management (Hubbell). The difference between the two is night and day. The new management on average, in my experience, between 4-7 days to respond to a maintenance request. Even if it is a furnace not functioning in the middle of January. The units themselves are very nice, but not worth the headaches management will give you. Run from any Hubbell managed property and save yourself the time and frustration.

  • Such an amazing place!

    August 22, 2020
    The management is wonderful and very kind and the unit itself is very spacious! They neighbors are all very quiet and kind. The dog walks are very nice and both gyms are excellent. Definitely worth checking out!

    I lived in Lakeshore 1 for a year and a half. It was a great property and location. Bill and Marjean were WONDERFUL to work with. They have great facilities and amenities(workout rooms, party rooms, pool, etc.) The Wifi and DirectTv are included.

  • Highly Recommend!!! Free WiFi and Direct TV!!!!!

    October 1, 2019
    So my wife and I relocated to Ankeny from Dubuque. We fell in love with this place almost immediately. Then life happened as it almost always does and our needs changed. This is when Marjean jumped into action she’s great, she found us a two bedroom on the property even in the same building. Super easy to work with and the maintenance guys get things fixed super quickly!

  • Highly Recommend!

    May 31, 2019
    I lived at the Lakeshore 1 property since it opened in the Summer of 2015. I was always impressed with how clean the facility was kept. Management is friendly and responsive to all requests. Extra benefits include an excellent fitness room, a large community room, a pool, and a basketball court. My apartment overlooked the lake, and I enjoyed frequent walks on the path along the lake. If I were to ever move back to the Ankeny area, I would definitely choose Lakeshore Apartments again.

  • Good management/Clean facility

    March 14, 2019
    The management company cares about the tenants and was very responsive to any concern. The facility was always clean. If I moved back to Iowa this would be an apartment complex I would rent. Percy

  • Three year resident review

    September 21, 2018
    My husband and I have lived in the Lakeshore (what was Wanda Manor at the time) apartments for three years next month. We have purchased our first home together, so we're both excited to move and a little sad that we will no longer be living here. To my recollection, we've never had an issue greater than the washer or dryer being down. There is a maintenance number you call and they'll put a sign up and fix it asap. The management was wonderful and even congratulated us on our purchase. I highly ...
    recommend these apartments to anyone that is moving to the area or wants a new apartment. :) Thank you Lakeshore!

  • Best Management in Town

    May 30, 2018
    I lived in Lake Shore Apartments 2 for a year. The facilities, buildings and parking lot were always clean and taken care of. Management was amazing! They were very quick to fix any issues with appliances and were extremely flexible with my move out date. They really made the experience at the complex top notch. Thank you.
