From the on-line pictures, this place looks like a million bucks, large apartments, carefully…read moretended grounds and a bubbling brook that cascades throughout the grounds. Well, the reality is, there is a brook, and the apartments are adequately sized, but that value has depreciated quite a bit with time. But let me be fair- its been 25 years since I lived in an apartment complex so maybe I'm expecting too much. Here are the pros of this place. I like the full sized washer and dryer in each unit. And I like having a dishwasher and microwave included. I like that there is either a balcony or patio with each unit and that the quantity of windows lets in a ton of natural light (and my unit faces north). I like that they are set up as condos with each unit having it's own outside entrance and that they answer maintenance issues within a week which is pretty good given the size of this complex. Some units even have a fireplace (I think these are the upper units) There is also a decent pool as well as a work out room available for the residents. On the downside, the water pressure is quite low (can barely wash my hands in the bathroom), when it rains, there is water everywhere washing out what once was beautiful landscaping, and there is really limited storage in each unit although the extra closet out on the patio helps a little. The carport that I pay extra for is quite a walk away ( a sidewalk would help) and the hill behind it washes out with each downpour making a muddy mess to walk through. It's not quiet but the noise doesn't come from my neighbors, it comes from a bad design that puts the air conditioning units outside the bedroom window so not only do I hear it when my unit kicks in, but also when my neighbor's unit kicks in. All in all, Pinnacle Woods is okay. To some it might even be considered really nice. For me? It just reminds me of why I stopped living in an apartment all those years ago.

Rent increased by $130 for my 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom in my first year. Appliances are terrible. Sinks…read moreare made of the cheapest white polymer that stains super easily instead of ceramic. Kitchen counters are also made of laminate/particleboard that stains extremely easily. During my first month here, I had to fix the PVC pipes under my own kitchen sink. I also personally had to unclog the shower drains from the previous renter. Also, PARKING SUCKS. You will likely be unable to find parking spaces at night, so their solution is to provide rentable parking spaces to their tenants. These additional parking spaces are $30/month for a "garage," which is really just awnings. There has been a tire-eating pothole in the front of the complex for lord knows how long, and they are finally getting around to fixing it after months of living here. One would expect a booming college town like Lawrence to have better apartment complexes.

We didn't have an appointment for a tour or anything like that but we had looked at the website prior so we know what we liked that was open. We walked in and we were greeted perfectly by TieRre who was incredibly sweet and ran us through everything we needed to know about the apartment we saw online!! It wasn't quite done with its renovations but we were able to get a good look at the apartment, which is absolutely beautiful! We went home and immediately knew this was the place we wanted to live. The process of applying online can be a little difficult for someone who hasn't done it before but TieRie was always emailing us back with any questions we had, and helped us through the whole process! If he missed a phone call from us, he was super quick to get back to us with an email to let us know about anything we asked!! He talked about the community and the perks you get, and how he himself lives in this complex and loves it!! We are beyond excited to move in to our apartment in August, and can't wait to live in the community! Thanks again for everything you do TierRie you're amazing!!

Yikes. It's hard to know where to start with this review. Honestly this is the worst place I have…read morelived in Lawrence. All walls are paper thin. They are so thin, in fact, that when I'm getting ready in the mornings I can hear the people who live above us use and flush the toilet. Management has changed hands many times. It's very hard to get ahold of anyone for maintenance issues. There seems to be some pretty heavy drug traffic (and without a doubt drug usage) in the complex. It appears most of the units share ventilation systems as we get smoke and dust from our upstairs neighbors regularly. We recently moved out and left the apartment in better shape than we got it, even paying a professional to clean our carpets. The onsite manager is refusing to refund any of our deposit and also refuses to give us the name of the owner or her boss so we can discuss the matter. We just filed a small claims lawsuit against the complex and we're hopeful that will be our last interaction with them. Ever.

When I moved back to Lawrence I viewed about 15 apartment complexes before I decided on Naismith…read morePlace Apts. I have lived at NPA's for almost a year now and I have really enjoyed my stay. I plan to stay for a couple more years until I graduate and here's why: The condo units are very nice with several upgrades such as modern light fixtures, nice carpet, new appliances, nice cabinets, in unit washer/dryer, etc. Also, this complex offers two bedroom units at a one bedroom unit price. The bedrooms are a little smaller than one might hope for but they are able to fit a queen bed and a large dresser comfortably. My apartment is a nice size for me and my 53 lbs Labrador, (that's right this place allows large pets which is very, very rare in Lawrence) each condo is approximately 800ft2. The floor plan is open which I really like. Unlike my last apartment I cannot hear my neighbors through the walls which is a HUGE plus. The walls must be thicker here than most other apartments because I never hear anything coming from the apartments next to me. Also, the complex is small so it has a nice community feel to it. There is more grassy areas for pets than most complexes offer which is great for my dog. I'd say the best thing about NPA's is its location. The location is what sold me on this apartment. It has a walking trail right next to it that I use to walk my dog daily. It is perfectly located between all Lawrence hot spots i.e. Mass St., 23rd St., Iowa St.,. It is literally the best location in town because your close to everything. One negative about the complex is that the patios are small compared to other places that I viewed. NPA's has recently gotten a new on site manager who has made it her mission to make the complex an awesome place to live. Every time I have spoken with her she has been very polite and helpful. She has helped start a community garden, and NPA's newsletter which has greatly improved the feel of the place. Overall, I am very happy with NPA's. It is a great, safe, and quiet place to live. I will be recommending NPA's to everyone I know.

And it is far too small for more than two people to be in there at once. The hot tub never worked as long as I lived there, but the pool was nice and well kept. Our apartment was nice and spacious. Our neighbors were mostly fine, but you can always hear people walking up and down the stairs/breezeway through the walls which isn't ideal. We had one set of noisy neighbors, to which management told us to call the cops because they couldn't do anything about it. That wasn't a pleasant or helpful solution. Our AC went out *every* year we lived there. Our apartment got up to 80 degrees and we had to get our cat shaved to keep him from overheating this past April. I had to yell at the poor front desk girl to get them to help us at all. They replied with "we don't have to fix the air conditioning until it's 80 degrees outside". As in they won't help you unless they're legally required, how nice of them. In our first year we were without one of our bathtubs because it was broken and they didn't get it fixed for almost four months. But when our kitchen counter started falling and separating from the wall they resealed it very quickly. The parking wasn't ever great. I frequently had to walk quite a ways to get home after getting home from work in the evenings. Overall, it was a fine place to be but we were happy to leave and move on.
