Worst kind of landlords…read more They will give you an apartment in poor condition, raise the rent annually without fail, and then nickel and dime you on the security deposit. I took on an apartment after the previous tenant passed and they did not want to repaint and they did not replace the carpet. The previous tenant was there for 13 years and I was there for almost 3. Guarantee it's the same carpet why else would they take 130 from my security deposit for cleaning. Apartments in Pine meadow are in a decent location, but they are plagued with mold, old appliances that don't work well, frequent bug infestations, and damage from the previous tenant that they don't bother to repair but will charge you for on the security deposit or get creative and charge you for things they didn't list on their note that they give you in preparation for moving out. Also, I have video of one of the owners urinating on the back side of the apartment in front of my blink camera. Classy. I also have footage where he entered my apartment without notice while I was not home more than once, definitely recommend a camera or two if you move here.

Loves Park is a very nice area to the east of Rockford. Everytime we visit our son's apartment, we…read moreseek pre-Great Recession levels of road, housing and commercial construction. Our son rented from the Holtans for his last three years of medical school and has been very satisfied with the property and the service. Broken items were addressed quickly - a busted overhead garage door spring was replaced within two hours of our call. The husband and wife landlords are both medical professionals who understand the med school calendar. They crafted the lease to end, more or less, with the end of our son's time at UIC-Rockford, and not 12 months after the lease began. We really appreciated that. The property is a little older and could use upgrades here and there - some rugs, maybe add a garbage disposal and under-counter lights and consider a full-size washer/dryer. But for a single student, there's nothing here that would be off-putting. (I imagine most married couples would be happy here, too, but I can't really comment on that.) The site is only about 15 minutes from campus and just a bit more from most of the hospitals and clinics a med student will likely spend time at. Most major retail/food stores are close by (try Woodman's if you're on a budget . . . or if you're not) and there are several truly wonderful restaurants in the area. Comcast provides video and internet and we had no problems with either during the three years. And, seemingly most importantly, our son found several coffee shops where he could sit and study for hours.

I am a single woman and also a nurse that works night shift 12hr shifts. Because of this, I am often sleeping in the daytime. Yearly Rock Valley apartments requires you to have an apartment inspection, which would be fine, if they were able to actually schedule a date and a time to do the inspection. Instead they told me that they would be entering my apartment anytime between 9am and 5pm Monday through Friday. When I requested a specific time for an appointment, due to my sleep schedule, they said they could not accommodate this. I had to threaten them with Illinois law in order for them to agree to my request. I don't think it should be that hard to schedule an appointment so I know when a man is going to be entering my home. Anytime I attempted to schedule a maintenance request it was the same situation. I had to literally fight to schedule a specific date and time and half the time they would show up at a different time than what was scheduled or not even show up at all. One of the maintenance men also smelled awful and would stink up my entire apartment every time he entered. The Property manager Stacy was extremely useless and anytime I had a question or concern she was unable to answer my question. The washers and dryers that charged you $1.50 for washes and $2.00 to dry, never worked correctly and smelled like urine. As others have stated in their reviews, moving out was a nightmare. They provided me with a huge list of things that needed to be done/ cleaned before moving out which is fine because I was already planning on leaving the apartment better than I found it, but the list was excessive. The list included things like "dusting off the top of the water heater" and "dusting off the tops of the cabinets." They also required me to paint over the few tiny nail holes that I had in the walls. They did not provide me with the paint to do this, I had to buy it myself. To make things worse, they took over a week to send me the correct paint color to buy. Before I moved out I notified them that one of the burners on my stove wasn't working. They fought me on scheduling an appointment to fix this before I moved out. I had to email them multiple times asking them to come fix this and when they finally came, they stated they had to replace the entire stove. The stove they replaced it with was clearly about 20years old and used.Then on our final move out walk through they informed me that they would be charging me for this "new" replacement stove. The Corporate manager, Randy, was extremely rude to me through this entire process. He yelled at me during our final walk through inspection telling me that I put the safety of the other residents at risk because I delayed them fixing the stove. He also told me that the issue with the stove was a fire hazard, and that he had notified me of this (which he most definitely did not). I told them that I had adequate documentation through the emails sent to them, proving that It was them delaying my maintenance request and not me. The corporate manager Randy also refused to give me his full name when I asked for it. He also refused to give me any contact information to higher up management that could help me. When I turned my keys in to them, they tried to get me to sign a document agreeing to pay for the stove and a bunch of other stuff with absolutely no prices listed. They could not give me a total amount that they would be taking out of my deposit. I refused to sign that document and requested a different document stating that I had turned in my keys and they refused. I did not expect to receive any of my security deposit back and I was honestly ready to take them to small claims court. I am happy to report that I did get a large majority of my deposit back. I believe that is largely due to the fact that I kept detailed documentation of every encounter I had with them through emails. Moral of the story DO NOT LIVE HERE!

I have taken many photographs of the Rock River at sunrise. I'm constantly in awe at how beautiful the view is. And the building is quite soundproof, relatively speaking. It's a big concrete building built in the 70's. Someone in the hallway will hear your music, but not anyone in any other unit. I've never gotten a complaint about my music, and I often play it somewhat loudly at various times. Like, very early in the morning. Hence why I have so many sunrise photographs (never a filter added).

I lived here for 3 years, so when I say 2 stars I am not saying the place is unlivable. This rating…read moreis strictly based on it being marketed as a "luxury apartment." I waited a bit after moving out to make sure this was a well thought out review. Pros If you get a river view, it is very pretty. Even if you do not (they say every apartment has a river view which is technically true, but some are more of a side angle), the view of the trees from spring to fall is genuinely nice. The apartment itself is spacious. Shower pressure is solid. Stove is decent. Solid location to the downtown area and some good restaurants. My unit had an in‑unit washer and dryer, and both worked fine. Cons The main reason for my rating is the A/C situation. I run hot, and I know that, but I have never lived anywhere where the summer months were essentially unlivable for me. When I first moved in, I slept in the living room for weeks because it was the only area that stayed modestly cool. I usually sleep in the 67-69 range; my bedroom thermostat regularly read 80. Staff insisted the reading was not accurate, but it absolutely felt accurate. You might wonder why I stayed 3 years if that is true. A couple reasons: I was on a yearly contract and knew I would eventually be moving to another city, so I did not want to switch apartments only to move again. After multiple asks and the building not being able to do anything, I ended up buying my own A/C unit and creating a custom window attachment because the windows are grasshopper style, meaning most standard home A/C units do not fit. In the winter, the apartment was great. I never ran the heater, and I had no issues. But to make the A/C problem worse, the entire building runs on a single heating or cooling switch. If the building is set to heating, you cannot run A/C, which feels silly for a place calling itself luxury. My final complaint is the "gym." I have never lived in a luxury apartment with such a small setup. It is basically in the mailroom; a few free weights, a treadmill, a row machine, and not much else. Better than nothing, but definitely subpar. I'm now in a new apartment in a different city that costs a little more, but the quality difference is honestly night and day. After experiencing how comfortable a properly cooled apartment can be, the price I paid here for a space that was hot for half the year feels pretty absurd. That said, if you naturally run cold, this place might actually work great for you.
