I have had very good experiences with this apartment complex. My boyfriend and I have lived here for a year and a half at this point. The current Property Manager, Sonya, is excellent. She takes your needs into consideration and tries her best to make things work for you.
We lived in a 1 bedroom apt on one side of the complex and let the office know we wanted to upsize our apt. The staff was great and showed us all currently available properties. We didn't end up liking any of them for
...what we wanted/could afford. However, we had time before our lease was up so we told them to let us know if any others opened up.
A few weeks later, my boyfriend popped in to the office to do something unrelated and they told him "hey we have an apt that just opened up in the floor plan you like. Would you like to go look at it right now?" Well, we did want to look at it, and it ended up being perfect. They still had a little work to do on the repairs and repainting of the apt because it was just moved out of.
We still had a month or so left on our current lease. Well, they allowed us to switch apartments and change our lease without having to pay any of the extra fees that would normally be associated, aside from the application fee that covers them running our credit and such.
What I am saying, is that if you are a kind person and responsible, you treat others the way you want to be treated, and you are a good tenant - they are going to treat you well! (Any company really...)
Yes, you have to pay utilities, but all but electric are paid through the apartment complex's portal if you want to pay online. Yes, you have to pay for parking, which does suck. However, for the quality of neighborhood and the price - you aren't going to do much better. Are there cheaper apartments? Definitely. However, I know from my experience the neighborhoods and apartments aren't nearly as nice, even with these buildings having a little wear on the inside.
Overall, I would encourage you to look into living at Springwoods at Lakeridge.
CONS:
-SOME of the apartments are a little outdated and could use a facelift
-SOME of the apartments have some wear to the interior of the building
-You do have to pay for parking, per car - for standard, reserved, or car port. Different prices, obviously.
-SOME people think the complex being "Smoke-Free" doesn't include them, apparently.
