So I haven't even gotten my furniture yet, but I'm going to go ahead and 5 Star this place already…read more IF, and that's a Big if, my experience changes, y'all know I'm going to update the review. But here it goes.
I know it's summer time. I say that because from what I've heard, the winters here are disgusting! Something about lake effect snow? Never mind that, but snow period? Who lives in snow? Anyways... right now, early July, and this place is beautiful! There's green grass everywhere. A gorgeous pool. The leasing office has also two GIANT rooms, one with bar and kitchen and another theatre room with a 80" TV. Both are available for rent for parties. Both UNDER $100 for renting. That same building also houses a very decent gym. Think of your standard hotel gym, then double it. Everything brand new. The gym is accessible 24/7 with the residents key fob. And there are bathrooms and drinking fountains, so you don't even need to bring your own water bottle (theoretically) nor worry about going outside to pee in the pool in between sets.
Y'all see the pics I added? The dog park is lovely. It's a tad far from me, but the dogs won't mind the walk. And it's segregated. As in, one park for smaller dogs and one park for larger ones. Which is GREAT! For one, I've seen ONLY dogs smaller than mine so far, and two, one of my dogs is a bit of a guard dog. Literally. She's very protective and aggressive (at first until she deems the threat no longer exists). So despite her being adored by all, at first meeting, she can be kinda scary. And with both dogs being 80lbs, it's understandable that they are scary. But with two parks, there's no worry.
The apartment I have is a 1 Bedroom. So it's in a 3 story building. However, bigger 2+ bedroom places are in actual little houses, also with garages. Now the 1 bedroom I have is 800+ square feet and the attached garage is an extra $100. Not mandatory, but I have two motorcycles and yes, I'm going to keep them inside. So the garage essentially was NOT optional for me lol. But it's kinda cool set up. So I drive around to the side of my building, press my garage door opener, and enter into the garage. From there, there is one door. That door leads into the hallway of the buildings first floor. So I never have to go outside. Pretty dope. Also, I live on the first floor because I have two pets. Let's are NOT allowed in the common areas, which is actually kinda cool. You need have to worry about coming in or out of the building and being greeted by my two 80lb dogs that won't be as happy to see you as you might be them lol. So all pet owners, first floor, and you take them out your back patio to enter / exit the building.
The mailboxes are located inside. That's a plus.
Out the back patio, they are planting grass and trees, so it's going to look really nice. It's not completed yet, because my building is brand new, as is most (but not all) of this complex. In fact, nobody has ever lived in my apartment yet. Just me. I'm first. And the building is super nice and clean looking. And there's only 3 total residents in my building so far.
There's even a small lake (pond is guess is more accurate) right across from the dog park and main entrance.
Although I just signed for the keys and haven't moved in yet (I'm still living in the hotel), this place gets 5 of em.. and again, if things change then they change, and I'll update it. But if I don't, then that means this place stayed legit!
Call and talk to Tammy in the leasing office! She's been a great help throughout the entire moving process!
