I actually posted this on another website on 12/02/201 but thought I'd share it here. (I lived in…read moreLancaster Lakes Apartments from 2011 to 2012 - We STILL miss this place!). When I received a job offer in Pontiac, MI last year, my boyfriend and I didn't have much time to find a place to live. Because I wanted to find the perfect apartment on one income, this involved traveling to over 60 different complexes between Royal Oak, Livonia, Clarkston, Waterford, and all surrounding areas. You name an apartment and we probably at least looked at it online. We first found Lancaster Hills on our second (and last) day of searching. It was the first apartment we had found for the day and although we both loved it, I wanted to see the other places on my list. Needless to say, we ended up finding nothing that even came close to comparing to Lancaster Hills! The apartment was spacious, it was economical, it had two full bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a HUGE kitchen, and then there s the VIEW! The view in our back yard is of a small wooded area and it s just beautiful. I do have a small list of things I'd like to see improved: The lighting in the parking lots and roads is not so great. You have to be very careful going around curves at night so you don't hit deer or people walking their dogs. The other downside is the parking lots. While Lancaster Lakes IS making progress on getting these redone, it is slow. There are pretty big potholes in the parking lots - You have to watch your step, especially in the winter when the snow is covering them. The only other thing on the outside I would recommend is some painting and touching up to the buildings - When we go down our stairs, the window is just beautiful, but it's so full of cobwebs and hasn't been painted in a while. My only complaint about the inside of the apartment is the water - We started having issues with our dishes having this type of filmy/powder on them. Turns out it's from calcium in the water. That all said, I don't know if it's something that Lancaster Lakes can fix, but they have offered recommendations: For dishwashers, use LemiShine. It'll help keep it off your dishes. For water, just use a filtered water system. Although there were some negatives listed, they are not NEARLY bad enough to get us to move We've lived here now for just over a year and just recently renewed our lease here. I would highly recommend living here to anyone. We have wonderful neighbors and Clarkston in general is just a great city. The office staff is great and after looking at SEVERAL other places, Lancaster Lakes offers the most room for the price. The maintenance staff is prompt and friendly, and we couldn't be happier here! ====================================== UPDATE 11/22/2013: After renewing our lease, less than a month later we found out we were moving to Washington for work. While they could not show the apartment or anything, the office staff made me finding someone to take over the lease an easy one. I posted a couple of ads on Craigslist, had a local family member show the apartment, and did all the paperwork and everything over the internet (we had been in Washington about three months before I finally found someone to take over). I still keep in touch with the office every now and then and would not hesitate to move back there IN A MINUTE! I hope to one day end up back in the Clarkston area and I will DEFINITELY be moving to Lancaster! :)

I have…read morefriendly neighbors, the atmosphere is wonderful, and there are stores and shopping malls within walking distance to accommodate my every need. The entire staff is top-notch people, and they do all they can to keep the tenants happy. The maintenance crew is the best. They always respond to your maintenance request in a very timely manner. One of the maintenance workers name Brian came out yesterday and corrected my problem, and he explained to me the details surrounding my concerns. He was very professional in everything that he did. I have experienced the same professionalism from every maintenance personnel at the apartment complex. It is obvious that they love their work along with they know what they're doing.

Encore keeps their own garbage cans out! Haha! The bugs are incredible! We have Beatles, spiders, Rollie pollies every single day as the homes aren't sealed. Our bedroom in the harsh winter is freezing cold. You now make us put our garbage inside the unsealed place. Needless to say the bugs have gotten worse. Our ceiling in the master bath has leaked for months. I guess when it falls and hurts someone they may respond. Maybe not. The office persons are not the kind you'd expect at a luxurious condo either. They are combative and expect you to back down to them. No thanks. I own property and would never command this price tag for sub par living arrangements.

I called a company I had used before, Precision Plumbing, and they said they could be there that day; however, later in the day, they asked if they could outsource to an affiliate of theirs, which ended up being Zoom Drain. Precision had guaranteed me an arrival time after 5pm; I received a text from Zoom Drain saying they'd text me 30-45 minutes before they arrive, and Precision told me Zoom would be there 2-6pm. I received a call around 2pm and they showed up around 2:30pm. Wyatt, the technician that showed up (there were two people, I believe, though) was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fix it. They were in and out within half an hour. The total price was $666 (ominous, ha) and that included the time and the work - they had to move both toilets to get to the pipes, my fiance said (I was working downstairs during that time), unclog both, and then put both back. Would use Zoom Drain again - I see they're in Clarkston, same as Precision Plumbing (Troy area, but their tech was in Clarkston that day too), but they were able to come to my fiance's house in Farmington Hills which was nice.
