She is very attentive to the tenants and tries to get back to you through email or phone call as promptly as possible. Everything/everyone else needs help! The Lakewood building is a cute, quaint spot for a starter apartment for a reasonable price ($575) but PLEASE DO NOT LET THE LOOKS FOOL YOU! This place is a bug's paradise! They have a sign out in the lobby stating the dates for their annual bug spray (roaches, &bed bugs in my unit that was ALREADY there & we weren't notified of) ! The owners cannot CARELESS about their tenants, Kelli is quite rude and lacks compassion whereas her husband seems to be a bit more understanding since he's on the property more often than she is. Just save yourself the headache. FIND ANOTHER APARTMENT! Thoroughly read their reviews, pay the extra price if you have to! Don't settle because it's in "Lakewood" with a "good price"

I highly recommend Damian Johnson as my go-to general contractor for anybody looking to get work…read moredone on their house. He has outstanding workmanship, reliability, and efficiency. Damian completed our luxury bathroom additions from scratch, converted our basement into a recreation room, added several bedrooms, installed appliances, electricals, and plumbing, and crafted a beautiful porch, all within the agreed timeline and budget. Damian is a great contractor if you are trying to do a flip or even just renovate your home to look more luxurious or more "homey." Damian's craftsmanship is exceptional, with great attention to detail and expertise. He flawlessly executed our vision while solving many complicated issues with my houses. His reliability is his biggest strength in my opinion, consistently arriving on time and ensuring smooth project progress. Damian's efficiency ensured timely completion without unnecessary delays. Damian has a keen eye for aesthetics, seamlessly incorporating our preferences into visually appealing and functional spaces that exceeded our expectations. Damian's commitment to staying within budget was impressive. He provided detailed estimates and maintained transparency throughout the entire process. With his reliable work ethic, efficient approach, and attention to aesthetics, Damian is the ideal choice for any housing project.

After talking to him and explaining my time limit and everything, he said he could do it so I hired him on the spot. Our projected start date was originally June 1st, but didn't start until June 12th due to change orders at other jobs they were busy with. Ryan was the lead on my project and they were a pleasure to work with. In the end we had a mishap with Lowes and a couple of things that Mike came out and fixed, but in the end we got our beautiful little bathroom remodel, I've referred Damian's info to a few people, and would definitely work with Damian, Ryan, Mike, and again.

I made the mistake of signing an automatically renewable lease, with sixty days notice required if…read moreyou aren't going to renew. Don't ever do that. Prior to my lease officially renewing, my job transferred me across the state. I explained the circumstances to management. I couldn't give sixty days notice but they didn't care. It was my fault for signing a crappy lease so I want to give others fair warning to read the contract and not do the same. On the day I moved in to my apartment I had no fridge and a dirty floor. And then when he did show up with an old fridge, the maintenance man wanted the movers that I was paying by the hour to help him move it in. I had multiple issues with my radiator not working. I lost count of the times maintenance was out to fix it. Each guy who came out swore it was a different issue then the previous guy and then promised he fixed it. The neighbors were not that bad. The next door neighbor would occasionally have loud fights with her boyfriend. My biggest issue was the smoking outside my apartment.

Worst experience of my life!!!!!…read more Please stay away from Vanguard Properties!!! They do not care about you AT ALL, all they care about is money. I lived in 2 of their properties. The first apartment everything was fine for one year until one day a new person moved to the apartment above me. This neighbor chained smoked cigarettes all day (with the windows closed) and made the ENTIRE building reek of cigarettes. I had it the worse because I was directly under them so my entire apartment smelled like pure smoke. It was hard to breathe, I had a bad cough, bad headache and my eyes burned. I stopped having my friends over because they would complain about the headache they had from being in there. I begged management to do something about it but that's when I learned they allow smoking in all of their properties. They told me I could break my lease or they would move me to another one of their properties. Thats when I moved to their second property that I lived in. The second apartment was also fine for the first year, and then once again I got unlucky. A new neighbor moved into the apartment under me (right when my lease renewed). This new neighbor was way worse than my previous experience because he would party EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. There was music blasting every single night, ALL NIGHT. He would smoke cigarettes and weed every single day/night as well. I felt like I was living in a bar. I was living in hell once again. I called the police, they told me I had to deal with it with management. I called management and they told me I had to deal with it with the police. NOBODY CARED! I was once again having to beg and plead for someone to do something and management did absolutely NOTHING. I called them almost every day and they would ignore my calls and emails. I even spoke to the neighbor and he did not care. Management never helped me at all. I asked them to let me go and they said I could only leave if I broke my lease (pay 3 months of rent) and that they had already moved me before so they would not be doing that again. I was so sleep deprived, depressed, and had such a bad headache (from lack of sleep and from all the smoke) that I unfortunately had to move forward with breaking my lease. I was a great tenant. Always paid my bills on time, took wonderful care of my home, but that did not matter to them because they just saw me as another number. I will never in my life rent from a company like this again. I'd much rather pay more money to live somewhere decent then to go through this again. DON'T fall for their bogus deals. If you're okay with not being able to sleep in your own home and not being able to breathe then this is the place for you! It was a hard decision to make to have to break my lease. It is not cheap to do so and it was completely unfair to me. It was a big loss for me but I hope that my experience can help others not go through the same horrible situation as me.
