I lived at Oak Forest Apartments for a year and it was the worst apartment I lived in. There was a lot of rotting wood with the outside staircases but the landlord decided to cover that up with paint instead of repairing them. My shower tiles were covered with latex paint which comes off when wet. The vanity in my bathroom was rotting because there was a former water problem and they just left it alone instead of replacing it. My advice is don't live there. They don't really care about the appearance of anything read more

The LEASING agent which I believe was the manager gave me my tour, very informative, very helpful, polite, and the property was fairly priced in a nice area read more

The staff is highly unprofessional and rude. Maintenance takes forever to get to you and when they do the problem still isn't fixed.

**BEWARE, CONSTANT PRICE GOUGING TO PAY TO REMODEL OTHRT UNITS. This place has serious safety issues starting with my deck that's literally slanted and too dangerous even go out on..the stairs up to this hell hole were wobbly and uneven. THEIR IS MOLD EVERYWHERE. My vents and water heater and air unit are covered in mold. They could not careless. It is not their problem. ALSO BEWARE maintenence comes in without annoucing themsleves and charges you 50+ for each request and leaves trash and debris everywhere. The crew they hired to finally paint the stairs (that has huge peices of paint chipping off and had termites? Or something eating/burrowing into the wood) slapped it on so heavy I was sliding trying to get down the stairs and ruined my shoes and pants!! If their were elderlyor young children their is no way they could've navigated the stairs safely in an emergency.( of course they didn't do one section at a time or leave space for people to walk through. Also, the main drag in here is filled with pot holes and mixed matched asphalt. This place looks like a kindergarten craft project. Dont even think about getting ahold of anyone in the office. They're NEVER HERE. This place is a dump please save yourself some stress and aggravation and rent elsewhere. Defiantly not worth 1000 plus and climbing!​ read more

Don't live here. New management is terrible will not give you your deposit back or send proof of "damage" don't waste your time

I love this place. I love where I live. 1. Rent is affordable. It is a good school district. 2. I broke my toilet I call them at 9am to request maintenance and but 10:30am they were knocking on my door to fix it. I love it here. They answer the phone and if you leave a voicemail they will answer. One time I forgot rent and they let me know. They are also big on communition and will work with you. I asked can I pay on the 6th and they were super under and told me they need to know. Most places would never do this. I appreciate their reaction time. The maintenance guys are great. They will help you anytime. I love all of them. I try to give them cookies when I get the chance. I recommend this place. Last thing I wanna say is if you see the stage apartments they utilities are not updated but it is way more updated thank you think. Living room is spacious. It is so much space in my 2 bedroom. read more

See all

Absolutely outrageous. Several SEVERAL bad experiences with management. I'm planning to leave here soon (lease ending in March) and I've never heard of a "pre move out inspection"??? Employee named "emma" said she was coming to inspect at 7am-12pm today then never showed up. Proceeded to text me after 12pm and let me know that she would be by 1-2 pm. It is now 3 pm and still no inspection has been done even after saying this was supposed to be done 3 days ago. Management is poor, lazy, unprofessional and incompetent. My years of growing here I have had mold mildew growing on my bathroom ceiling and just "painted over". And never expect the parking lot to be clear once it snows. The back buildings are extremely neglected with siding full of mold, the air conditioning units are disguistingly covered and windows extremely dirty. Staircases railing in broken off and wiggling, back stair cases. This is not only my case in the back buildings. The "pre move out inspection" was apparently on the lease.. but so was the "promised" carpet cleaning when I renewed my lease last year so where the hell you been? If you need somewhere cheap don't even bother coming here, pay the extra 200 a month for someone to write back. If you move here.. youre stuck here!! read more

No AC during the summer, they have this maintenance listed under emergency issues but don't treat it as such. Currently 40 weeks pregnant it's 85 degrees in my apartment & I've been without air for days & they can't even give me an estimate on when they will be able to fix my A/C. What is the point of having this listed as an emergency issue if it's not to be treated as such. Snappy and rude workers in leasing office. I've had to stay 2 nights in a hotel due to no A/C & constant over heating in my apartment! The workers in the office have no sympathy or care. Horrible costumer service! read more

Nancy and her whole crew have been EXTREMELY rude this past year. I was 8 months pregnant and desperately looking for an apartment to get settled into, otherwise I would have gone elsewhere. Service orders take on average 3 days to be completed. I had a broken dishwasher smelling up the house for almost a week. Here at Oak Forest they purposely try to scam for money. I promise you will not get your deposit back no matter what. She's spoken completely disrespectful and out of line to both of my parents, told my HANDICAPPED grandfather that he's not allowed to park in a HANDICAPPED spot and forced him to move or threatened to tow his car. Yes, the rent is cheap but it's not worth it. Go somewhere $50 more and you'll enjoy your stay. Bugs are a huge problem here as there is a forest in your back yard UPDATE: it's now been 4 months since we moved out. we received TWO notices in the mail that we will receive our full deposit back. when we call to check back, they try to say we owe THEM $727. their whole system is shit. do not waste your time. read more

I am a new residence at Oak Forest Apartments, and I have been treated with the best customer service in a while. The ladies there are very professional and very prompt. They explain everything about the apartments and also made sure that I did understand everything. Showed me around the complex, followed up with me during the application process. I was very pleased with how things went. I would highly refer anyone to them. Thank you, Ladies Denise and Melissa. read more

I moved in on June 6th ,before I signed the contract I told the management that there is a very bad smell in the apartment, they claimed it's coming from the new carpet ,and new paint,which its not it smells so bad that when we come to the apartment after work or after leaving it for some time the smell of it burns our noses .My wife is 6 months pregnant, and my 7 years old been complaining to the point my son cried multiple times when he knew that we are going to the apartment complaining that he can't breath inside of it ,and I believe him because me and my wife are both having the same issue on top of that we are having bloody noses from it.The office told me the previous resident had 2 dogs in the is apartment and they lived here for years.i e asked the to clean the AC unit ,but they told me I have to pay to get ot professionally cleaned.after a whole month in here the smell is not going away we have been using all types of cleaners and smells to cover the chemical smell that God knows where its coming from ,but still the smell is not going away .they won't move me to another apartment nor cancel the contract without charging me. again I've spoke about it since day one .I can't take the smell and I believe its very harmful. I need a solution asap.plus there is dog hair under the sliding doors, and the kitchen door has nasty stuff that I refused to clean because they said they will replace the doors ,and they didn't tell now.Im not a dog person ,and I don't expect to see dog hair under the sliding doors it was supposed to be cleaned before i moved in specifically that I had to wait a whe month and a half while the apartment was empty to get it ready for me to move in ,the electric company told me no one lived in the the past month and a half thats how I knew.there are more things such as the mold around the vents ...etc ,but I believe this is enough. Thanks for reading. read more

I have been living at the Oakforest Apartments for almost two years. The apartments are affordable and the most important to mention is the safety. I have left my car and apartment unlocked few times and never had any issues. I see complaints about the management, but if someone fails to pay rent, the staff has to do what they are there for, to collect the rent and be on top of residents to fulfill their obligations. Apartments are 30 years old, not the best, but you get what you pay for and the most important is how one takes care of his/her own quarters. I love my apartment. Nancy and Lynett along with maintenance crew have been extremely friendly and understanding. Be respectful to them and they will give you back the same. Both ladies are extremely caring and understanding. I personally want to thank them for being often too kind to me. read more

Enjoyed living at Oak forest apartments UNTIL our lease was up. Terrible communication between management and residents. Was billed for our supposed "last months rent" THREE MONTHS after being moved out. Our bill was sent straight to collections making our credit look bad. We paid rent on time like we were supposed to throughout our lease. Felt VERY taken advantage of after receiving a bill from a COLLECTION AGENCY. Thank you Oak forest MANAGEMENT for showing us that you guys are NOT an option for future renters. We definitely will not be back! read more

Don't move here! The management is unethical and they won't help you figure out THEIR errors but rather blame you! Also the corporate company who owns them never returns calls and you can't get anyone to assist you. They claim we never paid rent one month and only presented us a notice 3 weeks after moving out, and many requests to see one. It was not dated and then they told us it was not filed due to them not having a leasing agent to do so. When we moved out they told us we had a balance of $40 due from the first day we moved it. When we asked to have that explain, they couldn't and we still don't know what it is for. The assistance manager tries but she gets thrown in the middle and it becomes a battle of "he/she said" They need to all be on the same page and they are not! My husband and I have lived in apartments for many years but Oak Forest has been the most difficult to deal with in the end. They wait till you move out and throw all these "charges" and "balances due" at you with no documentation or notices to back them. Keep all your receipts and watch your account closely, they don't process check for something over two weeks. read more
