I was a bit trepidatious at heading back to apartment living after 20+ years of being in a house…read more However, when we stumbled upon Woodstone Apartments, I knew we were in the right place. But first, a bit of background on Parkview Hills, where Woodstone Apartments is located. Established in the late 1960s by Dr. Batts (founder of the Kalamazoo Nature Center, as well as a professor of ecology and ornithology at Kalamazoo College) and Mr. Upjohn (you'll be familiar with that name - he was a local businessman and philanthropist; the ER at Borgess Medical Center is named after him), this planned community includes houses, condos, and apartments. There are 288 acres in Parkview Hills, which include several lakes, streams, marshland, fields, wooded areas, and plenty of trails. Living here is like living AT a nature center - but with the amenities of being on a city bus route, and a gorgeous and useful clubhouse (we use the pool almost every day). We were lucky enough to rent an apartment in Woodstone and have been here for many years. One of the things that I love most about living here is the diversity of fellow tenants. There is a wide age range, from senior citizens to families with young kids. I absolutely LOVE seeing kids play out in the safe, grassy area tucked in the L of the apartment. At night, you'll see other kinds of kids playing - the local fawns! Parkview Hills has a sizeable deer population, and it's just lovely to watch them graze at night. I also appreciate living in a community that is globally diverse. We might need to get some potlucks going up in the gathering room on the 3rd floor! I always learn something from everyone I talk with - everyone is so friendly, and lifelong friendships have been established for sure. Management is efficient and speedy when dealing with requests. Dan (maintenance) is incredibly friendly and good at his job, promptly fixing drains, lightbulbs, and the like; Brandee (property manager) is always swiftly on top of things, especially when dealing with problems that can inevitably arise in an apartment building. I appreciate their thorough and timely assistance when needed. I also love the secure building, the availability of plenty of handicap parking spots, Parkview Hills Security, the amenities of and activities at the clubhouse (Chinese cooking lessons with WMU's Confucius Institute; monthly art gatherings, and the like), and the extensive trails for walking. I can't imagine a better place to live, with better neighbors and management. If you're lucky enough to live here, you'll concur.

I loved the Al Sabo Nature Preserve, which can be accessed very easily from the complex itself. Al Sabo offers great hiking and mountain bike trails. The apartment complex is also very close to Kalamazoo Valley Community College, with tennis courts and a athletic track. Also, just across the street is Bronson Health Club, or SWAT fitness is just a quick drive. Saddle Creek offers very nice screened in porches, which are great during spring and summer evenings. I would highly recommend this complex to others.

Get flood insurance with your renters just in case. I pay $11 a month to cover $25,000 Grounds: well kept, plenty of parking. Noise: we're in the woods. The only sound is your neighbors. I'm sure if there were a 12 semi pile up on the freeway, you may hear that. You can also faintly hear sirens when they go by on 9th st or N ave. Utiliies: water is hot almost immediately, thermostat does a good job regulating temperature. Heat and range are gas, included in rent (thank god, cuz its Michigan). You pay electric, we use candles and natural lighting through windows and hardly use lights anyway. Amenities: range, microwave (in some units), fridge and good washer/dryer units. I have a 1 Bed and it is spacious. My fiancé and I are very happy here and our friends are quite jealous. The cost/benefit here is absolutely in your favor. Finally, my only demerit to give is the internet. This internet is called "Bloom" and it is the (in most cases) only available service. It is downright inhumane. $51 for 12 mbs, $41 for 3mbs. A speedtest will show less than 1mbs. So if you game a lot, watch netflix a lot or are addicted to porn, watch out, you may end spending more time "socializing" or reading books *shudders* Oh and TV is Dish network, don't have it, don't need it with an antenna and "internet" Overall, best option in town, there is a reason you will be on a waiting list. We got lucky and walked in at the right time.

Ideally located in Oshtemo Township, our community is built around your needs and desires, as proven by the array of resident-exclusive features and excellent customer service. Pets allowed.

I am absolutely thrilled to write this review about Timberwood Crossing and Andrea, the property…read moremanager. I had some initial concerns upon arrival, but Andrea addressed them quickly and completely made things right. She has a genuine heart of gold and the focused mindset of a CEO, taking meticulous care of her residents' needs and ensuring everyone is happy and comfortable in their homes. As a former property manager myself, I know firsthand how incredibly stressful it can be to make everyone happy, yet Andrea manages it all with a warm smile and a truly genuine, caring demeanor. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her leading this community. She even took the time to explain how caring the property owners are and how invested they are in making Timberwood Crossing a wonderful place to live. This commitment is exactly how you fill a community with happy residents who choose to stay for the long term. A huge congratulations to the owners for finding and retaining Andrea--she is truly the glue that holds this community together. Again, I cannot emphasize enough how Andrea made me feel heard, which has built an immediate and strong sense of trust in her management. Many renters have encountered crappy managers and absentee property owners who don't support their staff, but that simply isn't the case here. It's clear that Andrea and the owners aren't just here for just a paycheck; they are here to make a real, positive difference in their residents' lives. They care deeply about how we live and feel in our homes. In the long game, this resident-first approach is a wise investment for everyone involved. This is where I belong, and this is where I am making my home, precisely because I feel more cared for here than in any other community I visited. I am home!

The staff (Dave and Maria) has been incredibly professional from the get-go. I had to move quickly between cities and Maria, in particular, was extremely accommodating and willing to work with me long-distance. Even though the buildings are older, the apartment was very clean when I moved in and in good condition. Maintenance is very fast as well. The location is great and it is not far from the downtown area, other grocery stores, or the mall. The neighbors that I have met are very friendly and the apartments are nestled near residential neighborhoods. There is also a 24-hour Walgreens right across the street, which adds to the convenience factor. I would definitely recommend it here to anyone.
