Home away from Home

March 15, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
I am a current resident in Prairie West. Since we are a family (my husband, two children and myself) we needed a spacious apartment that fits all our needs. The master bedroom was able to fit my daughters bed, our bed, a desk and its chair, a night stand and a dresser. All with of this and the room still has some space. The other bedroom also has a space for a desk and a nightstand, along with a king size bed. What is also great are the storage rooms. Other than the small ones, there’s a big ...
storage room that fits all our luggage, boxes, toys, books, etc. I was also keen to have an apartment with a washer/dryer in unit. That was a high necessity for us as a family with kids. Wendy, the property manager, is friendly and helpful. Just the right kind of manager you wish to have in the place you call home (away from home). Ryan handles the maintenance stuff on site. Cool and friendly man. I feel safe and comfortable to know he enters the apartment whether I am there or not. Any issue I had, small or big, was fixed the same day or the following day. They also have regular pest control (an outside company), so no bug issues. [I live on the second floor so don’t know about the 1st floor though]. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Never had any trouble with any neighbors. Although my kids are probably making noise and bothering our downstairs neighbors, they never complained. I am so grateful for that. Plenty of space for parking. Never had to park away from my building. 2 bus stops going to campus; they are 2-3 minutes walking distance. Another 2 bus stops go towards the mall/walmart. Same walking distance. You can still walk to the mall or campus if you’d like. About half an hour walking distance. So even if you depend on taking your bike or walk, it’s not too far. There is a children park in the community. Not the best, but something nice if you just want to take the kids out without taking the car and going somewhere. The only downside I would say that the apartment is not new. Like cabinets and stuff are not new. Yet the apartment is clean and good. What was important for us also that the heater is central (you know the kind coming from the ceiling not the ones on the floor). On the whole, whether you are here with your family or a student who appreciates a good management company, a good neighborhood and a spacious apartment you will like Prairie West Apartments.
