It's very quiet, clean and welcoming. It's actually feels like a single-family one-story home. It's very spacious and the huge 2 car garage is a bonus! The appliances are much smaller than we'd like though. The main tub and master bedroom shower are ridiculously very small, however; we are learning to live with these downfalls. No community is 100% perfect of course, however; we are glad to call Redwood our home. We had an option to move elsewhere not too far from here, however, due to the open floor plan with cathedral ceilings we chose here and are glad we did. The monthly food trucks are very appreciated for those nights I don't cook dinner (which is very few). The office manager, "Lonnie" and his team are very professional, friendly and business oriented. I love the way this office is ran. I have been a customer service professional for over 30 years, so I, personally appreciate it when I see others providing the same level of good customer service to others, especially my husband and I. The maintenance guy is absolutely the best! He is friendly, prompt and attentive. The turnaround time is stellar (1 day or less)! This sets this community apart from others, the wait time for maintenance requests at our previous community was 3-4 days. Overall, we are super satisfied living here, and plan to call Redwood our home for a long time. It's a lot of things we will never compromise on when living somewhere, some being: comfort, convenience, and quietness, and this is exactly what we found at Redwood :).

I am absolutely outraged by the handling of my apartment access on October 22 and the days that…read morefollowed. Maintenance entered my apartment without my presence or consent, despite me explicitly stating this was not allowed. I allowed it once because I was told scheduling a specific time was not possible--but this will never happen again. During this entry, a maintenance employee used a code that was not mine to access my apartment. When I returned, my personal code no longer worked. After multiple calls to the leasing office, a maintenance guy arrived (very nice I didnt get his name) and said the new code would work temporarily--but when I returned later, it still didn't work. I attempted to use the SmartRent app to avoid emergency calls, only to find I did not even have access, something the leasing office should have granted me. I was locked out until 7:44 PM, repeatedly calling maintenance with no response. The on-call staff, Keith (or Key), was shockingly unprofessional, dismissively saying "GEEZ" before hanging up. I had to leave my door unlocked overnight, creating a serious safety risk. The next day, I tried repeatedly during office hours to resolve the issue, again receiving no response. I called emergency maintenance 14 times, only to learn staff were at a trunk or treat event. I had to track someone down in person. Darrell eventually helped (Thank you Darrell) and confirmed this entire fiasco was caused by the leasing office never granting proper access to the SmartRent app. This level of mismanagement caused extreme inconvenience, stress, and serious safety risks. I have been locked out of my apartment three times, which is completely unacceptable for someone paying rent. I cannot recommend this property due to the unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and unsafe handling of resident access. The 2.2 star rating speaks for itself. update- Despite explicitly requesting that all communication be via email, I received an inappropriate phone call from Tina, the property manager for maintenance. During the call, she blamed me for not setting up my SmartRent password, even though the issue stems entirely from the leasing office failing to grant me access. Tina also claimed that Kyle came to my apartment at 4:00 PM to assist me, which is completely false, as I was not home at that time. Throughout the call, her tone and stateme nts were unprofessional, and I repeatedly expressed my dissatisfaction. I am also confused as to why bianca the property manager who I emailed --forwarded my email to Tina instead of adressing the issue, creating even more frustration. This mishandling has caused significant stress and inconvenience, and the lack of accountability and communication from management is unacceptable.

Before you read all the bad reviews, let me remind you that you cannot expect apartment life to be…read morelike the life you'd have as a homeowner. Yes, nothing will ever be as you imagine and want, leave that for when you are a homeowner. I too complained in the beginning, but that's because I lived as a homeowner for a long time. I forgot that some people are not tidy, and some smoke weed, and argue and don't take care of their pets. Still, the worst I experienced was some weed smell, and shortly after complaining, the people I thought were doing it indoors were gone. Most smoke, whatever they smoke, on their balconies. I have never seen issues with pets, bags are provided by the complex and there is nothing on the grounds ever. Pets are registered and DNA tested and rules are in place. People follow the rules from what I see. I rather enjoyed all the pets here and watching people connect through their pets. Kids play outside in playgrounds and it is great to see that. I can tell you that a lot has changed, most of the staff and management are new and have been more than nice to me, especially Megan the manager. I see a lot of updates being done, both cosmetic and major ones; like updated kitchens and laminate flooring being installed. I rented my apartment prior to updates, still it was very nice, everything in working order. I took a lot of pictures and videos so I am not worried about having issues moving out. I lived here for a year and never once called maintenance. Not even a lightbulb changed. It is a great location and grounds are maintained well. It feels very safe here, I have not seen or heard of any issues. It is still very quiet and worry free living here. Until you buy a house, renter's life will be rather similar everywhere so be cautious of negative reviews and just visit, take a look and get a feel of the community. Great location, nice apartments inside and out, and price is reasonable for the area.

If this is the standard of communication being modeled, it could help explain the recurring issues residents are experiencing. Professionalism isn't just about stating that concerns are "brought to our attention". It's about demonstrating that they're taken seriously and resolved reasonably.

Unfortunately, the way management handles residents is extremely disappointing. If a payment is even slightly late, they immediately send your account to collections, regardless of your long-term payment history or past reliability. There is zero grace period, zero understanding, and zero willingness to work with people. On top of that, they charged my account twice even though my resident portal clearly showed a zero balance. When I brought it up, they refused to refund the duplicate charge, even after I explained that my bank would hit me with fees because of their mistake. They simply didn't care. I'm now forced to pay extra fees for an entire month due to an error on their end while they continue to act like it's not their problem. This place has become money-hungry and insensitive to its residents. If you're considering moving here, be aware: they take advantage of people, offer no flexibility, and don't take responsibility for mistakes that cost you money. After years of being a good tenant, this experience has completely changed how I view this complex. I would not recommend it.

It had not been replaced for 7 yrs or more since i lived here anyway which MI law carpet is suppose to be replace every 5 yrs. This owner and management has no idea how to treat seniors either. Sometimes i felt like we lived in prison too here kinda looks like it too IMO. I am so glad i moved away the frustration of everything was almost too much for me i will miss my friends i have met there but it was not worth the anger this management and owner was causing me and others too.

All the maintenance responsibilities and appliances cost is provided by Shelby Manor. When we moved in there was already new carpeting and new ceramic flooring in the large bathroom. Over time we had the kitchen floor replaced and a new dishwasher replaced. Our unit has a stackable clothes washer and dryer and even a microwave oven and of course we have an oven, stove refrigerator and garbage disposal not to mention our own hot water heater, furnace and air conditioner. These are all provided and more importantly maintained by Shelby Manor, nothing worst is having a furnace go out in the middle of winter with no one to call for help. The best part is the maintenance and repairs of the units are handled by the full time staff. We had a small water leak in our ceiling from an upstairs air conditioner. Mike came over first thing in the morning, stopped the leak upstairs brought in a fan to dry up the damp carpet checked for mildew and found none. The ceiling needed plaster repairs, which means let the ceiling dry out, mud the repair, sand and mud and let dry again, and 3 coats of paint to match the ceiling. This of course took Mike several return trips to do a professional job, he keep us informed when of the scheduled trips and explained what and how he was preforming the work. Each trip was super quick lasting not more that 15 minutes, so it didn't interrupt our day. We really enjoy living here there is a good community of friendly people. Thanks Shelby Manor, Don & Irene
