Having resided in this apartment complex for two years, I am compelled to share an honest review…read more The amenities and location are satisfactory for me, and the majority of my neighbors are amiable. However, I recently encountered a distressing incident that has instilled a sense of insecurity within me. On May 15th, approximately at 4:30 am, I was subjected to a near-physical assault by an individual residing in the building on my right. Although I was unfamiliar with him at the time, I have since discovered that he has been engaging in persistent harassment towards me & others. On May 18th, I was accompanied by my partner to our building entrance, and upon passing his apartment, he emerged. It was as if he had anticipated my presence. Despite contacting the police twice regarding the harassment, they have been unable to take any action due to the absence of physical altercations, arrests, or any form of communication with the individual. The building office has also been informed of the situation, but no measures have been implemented. I have come to the realization that I am not the sole tenant who has been subjected to harassment. I am aware of three other individuals who have been pursued into their ground-floor apartments. I am apprehensive about my safety and am uncertain of the appropriate legal recourse. This experience is unprecedented for me, and I am concerned that the apartment complex is not adequately safeguarding its tenants. Furthermore, I am unable to identify the individual's name, and I have repeatedly requested that the leasing office provide this information in order to obtain an order of protection. However, they have been unresponsive to my requests. The police informed me verbally twice that they should be able to provide this information, particularly since this is not the first complaint filed against this individual.

In the interest of saving prospective residents time, we'll keep this brief: if you are considering…read moreThe Lakes (or any BH property), we strongly encourage you to pay close attention to the low-star reviews. In our experience, many of those concerns are not isolated and speak to a broader pattern of poor management. It is disappointing to see a management approach that often feels more focused on extracting than fostering a positive living experience for residents. In short, we would strongly advise looking elsewhere. . . . Con el fin de ahorrarles tiempo a los futuros residentes, seremos breves: si están considerando vivir en The Lakes (o en cualquier propiedad de BH), les recomendamos que pongan mucha atención a las reseñas de baja calificación. Según nuestra experiencia, muchas de esas preocupaciones no son casos aislados, sino que reflejan un patrón más amplio de mala gestión y una inquietante disposición a imponer cargos siempre que sea posible. Es decepcionante ver un enfoque administrativo que con frecuencia parece más centrado en sacar de la gente en vez de realizar una experiencia de vivienda positiva para sus residentes. En resumen, les aconsejamos seriamente buscar otra opción.

What a little jewel this property becomes every day. Outside there are trees, shrubs, flowering…read morebeds that continue for all the viewing seasons. Inside, there's a great uplifting project going on. I lived in a one bedroom with a garden in the first floor exactly what I needed. It's very quiet. The apartment had just gotten a black marble tile and counters face lift in the kitchen before I moved in. Lovely and easy to clean. All modern appliances. The apartment had been well cared for and cleaned before I got there. That was the first indication that Joseph Hughes, the property owner , is fussy about the way things are done and he checks in on projects daily. He and his daughter, Sabrina are friendly and accommodating. Since I arrived, the communication to enter the building has gone high tech, but EASY TO USE. My neighbors were all nice people. The apartment was a good size and the garden was just a little oasis away from all the noise and bustle of major roads. The tenants are diverse. Young, old, and in between - polite and friendly. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a bit of quiet and a view of trees, shrubs and flowers. I enjoyed my time there and if I hadn't had health problems I would still be there - I want to see what the next building project will be now.

The common areas like the laundry room and lobby area are always clean. Second, the walls are great and keeps the noise away. I rarely heard any noise while I was in my unit.

Would not recommend leasing.

Good location right next to Abbott park. Clean but too expensive since this is in the Lake Bluff…read morearea. You have more options closer to Vernon hills,Gurnee and Waukegan. The Apartment design is nice and place looks peaceful. Price range is about $1100 for 1bed and fountain square shopping center is about a 8 minute drive.

Honestly my time at Forest Pointe has been rough. I'm not one to normally leave negative reviews,…read morebut I really think these are things people should hear before moving into this apartment. 1.) They will tell you garages are $125 a month. But what they won't tell you before you were to sign is that you will be sharing the "individual" garage unit with other residents... yes you read that right. Also if you weren't to sign because you toured prior but didn't sign anything.. they will add the cost to your rent for just inquiring. After they charge you and you voice that you're rent for the month is messed up because of this. It will take them two weeks to fix and they will treat you like it's your fault. 2.) I've been in multiple calls, emails, and work orders for our laundry unit. A small load takes four cycles to dry. That's right a small load takes approximately six hours to dry. 3.) what they are advertising on the website is not all of the units. Some are extremely outdated. So please make sure to do an in person tour of the actual apartment you are signing for. 4.) Forest Pointe doesn't actually support military. Prior to Marquette taking over, the other rental company was offering military discount and Marquette doesn't want to stay true to that for the military residents that have been here. 5.) I've been here barely 2 years and they have gone up over $400 in rent a month for what they want on the new lease. There have been no actual updated amenities. 6.) right now they are "updating amenities" they have had their construction equipment for this parked in their "ample parking spaces" for almost a month now...which means you will be parking pretty far from where you actually live. 7.) you can hear rats eating wires in the attic. And yes I have seen them in the building. 8.) the buildings are also not handicap friendly not just because of the lack of parking now... but also there is no elevators in the building. The buildings have no air conditioning only each unit meaning you will have to run your a/c or heat all the time. 9.) they are now charging water for the whole property to your rent every month. Meaning how much ever the complex uses is divided by residents. Since this I'm now paying nearly $70 more a month for water.

(If you see this, no offense Mom) If I had the time, I could write a review the length of Marcel Proust's, 'A la recherche du temps perdu.' But the Cliffs Notes version is this. This is a high end complex, but without the pretentiousness you would find in the North Shore and/or the upscale neighborhoods in Chicago. The facilities and amenities are all first-class, and everything is always clean like a five-star hotel. As for my unit itself, all of the appliances and furnishings are beautiful. Just as important, they did not cut any corners in terms of the walls and floors, so I do not hear any noise at all from my two next-door neighbors, or from the apartment below. Nothing major has ever happened since I lived here. But the very minor things like the specialty light bulbs needing replacing, Rey and Jason from the maintenance team have always come out the same day to take care of stuff like that. The area is perfect in terms of nearby shopping, restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, etc... Although living here is not cheap, dollar for dollar, this might be the best bang for your buck in all of Lake County. I do have some pause writing this, because Nathan (the property manager) might see it, and then raise my rent when it's time to sign my next lease. Please don't do it Nathan. Call or stop by the leasing office and ask for Stephanie or Katherine. You can thank me later. Much gratitude to the entire staff (and fellow residents) of The Atworth at Mellody Farm.

CONS: The $15 a month mandatory garage fee. Rent is extremely high per sq ft.$37+ per ft. Early termination on rental -stayed 6 months vs 12- was a $7100 fee The $300 nurses rebate was clawbacked at early termination plus ruined a full day of vacation when they would not take a check for $300 from my wife.
