Overall I would recommend the Lakes

I want you to know that I really love my apartment here at the Lakes. It seems like everybody is nice and they're not everything works perfectly all the time with some of the gates and swimming pool and such and so forth it's still a very good place to be and it is affordable. Unfortunately I'm in an upstairs apartment which is not good for me but they didn't have any downstairs apartments available. I have no complaints sometime if I can afford another apartment downstairs I would seriously think about moving. Ove…

Things to know

The manager seems very full of herself. She has been known to not follow through with promises. She can "act" friendly but you can tell it is false! They have very few activities. For a member luncheon, you go to clubhouse, get a slice or sandwich and then take it to your apartment to eat. No place for us all to gather and eat. Can't meet others sitting alone! There seems to be no heart!

High staff turn over

They A/C does not run the greatest. There is a big turn over in maintenance and Assistant managers Work orders do not get worked on in a timely manner. The pool was down for 3 weeks in July.

This is a good place to live.

Pay your rent on time, don't leave a mess for somebody else ie, pick up your dog poop. Don't be afraid to be friendly, you'll meet your neighbors coming and going. We are always happy to answer questions.

Overall a good experience.

Overall it ha turned out to be a great community. I've learned how hard they try to keep landscaping looking mowed and bushes clipped and sidewalks cleared. We have get togethers. Bingo is popular. The staff are good about answering questions and getting any repairs done. I've made friends here and realize it just takes time. Good value
