Property manager is top notch
August 24, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
Had a great experience moving in and having maintenance requests taken care of. Cami responded promptly and really impressed me by her ability to stay as friendly as she is without any third party platform as she responded to all emails. Rent is incredibly reasonable.
Loved living here
April 10, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived at Meadow Chase twice. Cami is the nicest person and is so helpful! I will definitely move back if needed for a third time. I rented a townhouse and loved it (two different units). Some highlights: great water pressure, spacious living room, ample storage spaces and maintenance is quick. If you're a nature lover this is a good spot. There is a lot of wild life around. I know my cat loved watching the squirrels. There is a park just down the road and there are many bike trails near ...
by. The location of the complex is very convenient as there are also restaurants, a dollar tree and a gas station near by. Highly recommend!

Large spaces for affordable rates
November 8, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
Had a 1-year lease with Meadow Chase and was very satisfied - The apartments are spacious though the layouts are a little unusual (but not detrimentally so). Very affordable rent at the time I lived there (2021-2022). Very quiet neighborhood and very quiet neighbors as well.
We loved living here!
May 12, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
My husband and I loved in the townhouse part of the complex for 1.5 years while he was finishing up med school. The location is amazing as there are two shopping complexes 4-8 min away in both directions. It's also close to a couple school and the highway. Jordan creek trail is walking distance away and is also a bike trail.
The townhome itself and very spacious and the price is a steal! In unit washer and dryer with a walkout onto your own patio. There's enough parking with a garage option. ...
And Cami and the maintenance guy were always available and happy to help if we had any questions!
We loved our place and highly recommend it.

I have lived here for a year now and am renewing my contract. Rent is affordable, and the apartments are clean and well maintained. Whenever something was broken, or we had an issue, they were quick to fix it. The manager Cami is great; she's a very understanding person and does her best to accommodate you. I really like that my neighbors are respectful, and we never have any noise issues or disturbances. It's very peaceful, and nobody gets in your business. Everybody here is really nice, and it ...
feels like home.

This property is GREAT!!! Management is awesome!
July 24, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I recently moved from out of state, solo, and did not get a chance to see the property in person. Through the entire process, Cami the manager was so thorough, detailed, kind, and helpful. She answered every one of my relentless questions via email. She even brought in my packages that were sent earlier than expected inside the apartment!!
Craig, the maintenance person, is kind, patient, and gets the work orders done promptly! When I arrived after travailing through 6 states, I could not back up ...
my trailer, and he not only backed it up, but parked it adjacent to my apartment for me. I have never encountered this type of kindness in the previous state I had lived in, for 25 years.
It is a small property, but I have never had such a caring manager as Cami, in all my rental experience. Not only does she go out her way to help, but makes sure everything is smooth.
The property is beautiful, even though it is older, it is solidly built and I do not hear my neighbors at all! The upgrade was nice and the garage is huge! It is nestled in a nice mature neighborhood filled with families and the noise level is low. Shopping is within a 8 mile vicinity and there are many bike/walking trails and parks close by! It reminds me of the east coast with the rolling hills and abundance of deciduous trees. Everyone is "Iowa nice" here, such a change from the hustle and bustle of a big metropolitan city.
If you have a family and want to live in a safe area, this is definitely the place to be! This property is run smoothly, the tenants are nice and caring, it is clean and well maintained, and they even have a dog park.

Great Place To Live!
March 9, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve lived here for 2 years and just signed up for another year! Cami is our Manager and she really cares about all of us. She works hard to make sure we’re taken care of and is always available for questions. Craig is our Maintenance Supervisor. He addresses any issues we have very quickly and he’s super nice! I love the location of the apartments. It has a neighborhood feel with trees and lots of places for walking. The walking/bike path is pretty close, too. My dog is happy here, too! ...
There’s a dog park and it’s a great place for dogs to meet up and play. I would recommend Meadow Chase to anyone!

Great place
February 20, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Have lived here for several years and love the place and area! Very quiet and friendly neighborhood and accommodations such as making sure all residents have parking space to the wonderful walking path and parks close by!
Love it here
October 31, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
Wife and I have lived here for just over 3 years now. We've really enjoyed it. The apartments are spacious and walls thick. Dog park is well maintained!
Great Property to live
October 2, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
This has been my favorite apartment complex to live out of all. They upkeep the property and apartments well , respond very quickly to any maintenance issues or concerns, they do fun things for tenants, the apartments themselves are very roomy and nice and clean. It is really quiet here and serene with a lot of trees behind a residential neighborhood. They allow pets and you get your own washer and dryer, there’s also a dog area. They really do go above and beyond! Tenants also receive a parking ...
sticker so parking is always available, and are educated on where to have guests park in the road next to all the buildings. This is to ensure tenants don’t have to search for or not have any parking available. They definitely care about their tenants here!
