Renters Reviews and Ratings
Couldn't be happier with our family's choice.
September 18, 2025I can't say enough about the management. Amanda is just the best, always smiling and so helpful. It makes such a difference when you can tell the person in charge genuinely cares. And it's not just her; the whole team is really great. Plus, having the garage is a major bonus, especially during the winter. It’s a huge relief to not have to scrape my car every morning.Review from Apartments.com
Couldn't be happier with this choice.
September 18, 2025I was a little worried about finding a good place, but Lantern Square is perfect. The apartments are really spacious and the central air is a huge plus. The coffee bar in the clubhouse is a lifesaver. It feels like a small community and everyone is so friendly. I love it here!Review from Apartments.com
Best apartment I've ever had.
September 18, 2025I love it here. The pool is amazing, and I use the gym all the time. My apartment is super cozy, and I love having a balcony. The management has been so good to me, and everything is always taken care of. Couldn't ask for a better place to live.Review from Apartments.com
Pleasantly surprised
September 13, 2025i was a little unsure when i first saw the place, but after a few months, I'm really happy. my apartment is bigger than I thought it would be, and the central air is a godsend. I love having my own little balcony. The gym isn't huge, but it's enough to get a decent workout in. The staff is always friendly when I see them around. It's a solid, no-frills place to live.Review from Apartments.com
The best part is the pool.
September 13, 2025I love living here. The pool area is so nice in the summer, I spend as much time as I can there. It's great to have a balcony too. My unit is pretty quiet, which I was worried about. Overall, it's a solid place to live.Review from Apartments.com
Happy with my decision.
September 13, 2025I was on the fence, but the first month free was a good deal. My apartment is a good size, and I use the gym all the time. It's not a fancy place, but it's clean and safe, and the staff is really nice. No complaints from me.Review from Apartments.com
Lantern Square experience
September 12, 2025I looked at a bunch of apartments, and something about Lantern Square just felt like home. The clubhouse is a nice place to get some work done when I need a change of scenery. The gym is small but has everything I need, and it's nice not having to pay for a separate membership. The location is perfect for my commute, and it's close to all my favorite grocery stores. The included utilities are also a huge plus for my budget. I'm really glad I chose this place.Review from Apartments.com
Couldn't be happier with my new place.
September 12, 2025I moved in a few months ago after a rough year, and Lantern Square has been such a positive change. It's so quiet at night, and having the balcony is great for just sitting outside and unwinding. I really love the pool, it's a great spot to relax on my days off. The staff has been super kind and helpful, they made the whole moving process so much easier than I expected. My apartment is a perfect size for me, and I finally feel settled.Review from Apartments.com
My New Home is a Paradise!
September 11, 2025I'm so glad I chose Lantern Square Apartments. The first month free special was a great incentive, and the apartment itself has been a wonderful place to live. The newer vinyl windows are a nice touch, and my balcony is the perfect spot to relax. The grounds are beautiful, and I've already made use of the grill area. It truly feels like a resort.

Excellent Amenities and a Great Staff!
September 11, 2025I've been so impressed with Lantern Square. The staff is wonderful and has been incredibly helpful since I moved in. The amenities are a huge plus, the coffee bar in the clubhouse is a lifesaver in the mornings, and I've been loving the grill area for evening barbecues. The on-site laundry facilities and maintenance staff make life so much easier. The apartment itself is comfortable and modern with a dishwasher and microwave, which is a big deal for me. This is a truly great place to call home.Review from Apartments.com
Amazing Value for Resort-Style Living
September 11, 2025Finding a place with a gym AND a pool that's also affordable is nearly impossible, but Lantern Square delivers! The value here is incredible. I love starting my day with a coffee from the clubhouse and getting a workout in at the gym. Having a private garage available is a huge plus, and I appreciate that some utilities are included. The community is clean and well-maintained, and it's clear that the management team takes pride in the property. This is a top-notch place to live in Waterloo.Review from Apartments.com
Lantern Square Waterloo, iowa
September 11, 2025I have to say that the Lantern Square apartments is a great place to call home. The easy access to local restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Also with all the great amenities this apartment complex has to offer it just makes sense (the pool is my favorite amenity so far) I also have to give a shout out to the staff from the front office they are very pleasant and accommodating. Always going above and beyond, especially Sabrina.Review from Apartments.com
