Very roomy and plenty of storage in the closet space in both bedrooms. Huge bathroom upstairs with a jacuzzi tub and we love the look of the fireplace and the kitchen counter space is perfect for making big meals. I bake a lot and I really needed the room. We're very comfortable inside and cozy when it's cold and it has a great A/C system. It is an apartment complex so there are many people coming and going but that's apartment living. This is a great, safe place to live. We're very happy.

Von in the leasing office is so extremely helpful and professional, which in my opinion has made the experience flawless and easy. Not every community you choose to live in, no matter how much you spend in monthly rent, is this way. Von is there to greet you with a smile on her face, is there to answer any and all questions, and is excellent at following up with residents. I cannot speak highly enough about how wonderful it has been to live here. And I highly recommend this property to anyone.

From the moment she greeted me, it felt like I was talking to a friend I didn't know I needed. She could tell I was overwhelmed, and instead of rushing through like most places do, she actually took the time to talk with me about what I was looking for not just in an apartment, but in life. She asked thoughtful questions, shared personal insights, and even made me laugh when I was holding back tears. She showed me a unit that felt exactly like what I had been imagining in my head but better. She didn't "sell" me anything... she just helped me feel seen, heard, and safe. That's rare. If you're looking for more than just square footage and amenities... if you want someone who truly cares about where you end up and how you feel getting there, go see Gianna. She's got something special about her.

You're close to main roads, but not on one, so traffic isn't an issue. Rent for two bed, two bath is $795. Given that Fairfield Place is in O'Fallon, anything below $800 that calls itself "luxury" living is okay by me. I'm not sure I would go as far as to say it's luxury, but it's definitely a step above other apartments I've called home. I wish the units came with a washer and dryer, but you can't have everything. They also offer a discounted security deposit for military members.

The fact that I pay close to $1600; 2.The fact that I paid $350 to apply for this place and was told if I was approved that $300 would go towards the apartment prices and it did not; 3. I am not complaining that they allow pets but there are no pet waste stations around the lakes at all, all at the back of the property; 4. I am not complaining that on the day I was supposed to move in they refused to let me because I had not given proof of renter's insurance, so I had to re-arrange my movers; 5. I am not complaining about the fact that on my second night here, my neighbor told me I needed to be careful because his car was stolen out of the parking lot the night before; 6. I am not complaining that I paid more money for a third floor lake view so that I would not have to worry about people over me, yet I can hear everything underneath me. I can hear the kid running up and down the hallway, I can hear entire conversations (crying, screaming and cursing), I can hear people sneezing, I can hear people walking up the steps; 7. I am no complaining about the fact that they do not clean the breezeways, there are spider webs, stairs are dirty, walls dirty; 8. I am not complaining that they do not have a water filter on the refrigerator like most high end places do; 9. I am not complaining about the fact that they threaten to inspect people's apartments because people smell smoke and you will be fined $275 if you are smoking (I don't smoke so I don't care); 10. I am not complaining because they will fine you if they get complaints of you being too loud; 11. I am not complaining about the fact that the construction noise will wake you up in the morning and goes throughout the day. But what I am actually complaining about is the fact that they do not spray for mosquitoes and fleas on the premises. I found this out because one of the reasons I picked this place besides it APPEARING to be high end, is that I have a dog that I wanted to walk around the lake several times a day, etc. However the first week, I was getting bitten in my sleep, my ankles were itching, it was horrible. I treat my dog and cat for fleas so I had no idea what was going on. After getting eaten alive for two weeks, I sent an email to their office and asked if they sprayed for mosquitoes and fleas, assuming they did as they do have lakes and allow dogs. I was told they did not. I was shocked. I have NEVER lived anywhere where either the property owners do not spray or I pay to get the yard sprayed. I went back and forth with a Carla (who is supposed to be corporate)and she said that she would look into it, I checked back in with her a week later, she said she hadn't gotten a chance to talk to the boss yet, I checked back later and she said that they would probably not do it because she did not know the "effectiveness" of spraying. One of the most stupid things I have ever heard. You mean you do not want to spend the money but you have no problem charging outrageous fees to apply here, live here and get fined here. You need to fine yourself. I checked back for the last time yesterday and was ignored so here we are. They could easily spray for mosquitoes and fleas instead of letting their tenants (who they clearly do not care about) get eaten alive all Spring , Summer and some of the Fall. This may seem like something small to some people but I want to point out that you do not sleep peacefully getting bitten up all night when you live lakeside as I do, you cannot sit on your deck without being eaten up by mosquitoes and you cannot walk around the lake or go into the grass to pick up your dogs poop (which you in turn have to walk a mile to get to a pet station) when you are getting bitten by mosquitoes all over your body and the fleas are biting up your feet and ankles. So in the end, I would not recommend these overpriced apartments.
