We have lived at Parkside Estates for 2 years. When we first looked at the place, Linda was…read moreamazing, super quick at responding to questions, and incredibly helpful! She is strict but I feel that it is actually a very refreshing and great thing to have because we knew and felt that the property was kept up well and that we would be heard and taken of very well too. The tenants are her NUMBER ONE PRIORITY! Living here has been great. We have never really had any problems with our unit and any problems we bring to Linda are usually fixed within a 24-hour period. Communication with her is fantastic, and she is always available to listen to our concerns! She is also ALWAYS so warm and fantastic with my 2 kids even when they pester me to visit her office every time we walk past it! She is always willing to put aside time for YOU. If not for the fact that our family is simply getting just too big for the units they offer here, we would probably have continued to stay on. We will truly miss the amazing tenant care and service we have received at Parkside over the last 2 years. We are really going to miss living here. I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking for 1 or 2 BR apartments. Prices are very reasonable, staff are amazing, and people are pretty friendly around here too. 5 stars for sure!

My experience included…read moreongoing maintenance problems, inconsistent communication, and concerning billing and lease enforcement practices that escalated over time. From move-in, I experienced multiple unresolved maintenance issues including roach sightings in the unit, recurring mold in the bathroom, and persistent electrical issues such as flickering lights and intermittent outages affecting kitchen outlets. These electrical issues were repeatedly reported and marked as "completed," but problems continued over time. In addition, during January 2024, the heating system in my apartment was not functioning properly during extremely cold weather. Despite submitting multiple maintenance requests and having staff come out on more than one occasion, the issue was not effectively resolved at the time. My household had to rely on multiple layers of clothing and heated blankets to tolerate the indoor temperature. I am also including photo documentation showing ice forming on an interior bedroom wall, which reflects the severity of the heating issue during that period. The oven was defective from the beginning of my tenancy (burning/uneven cooking) and remained unresolved despite multiple service requests starting in 2023. It was ultimately replaced only in mid-2025, after repeated complaints and escalation. I also dealt with ongoing noise disturbances from upstairs neighbors (constant running/jumping at all hours) and cigarette smoke entering hallways from neighboring units, which significantly impacted livability. These issues required repeated reporting and were not consistently resolved in a lasting way. A major concern involved billing and lease enforcement practices, particularly related to NSF (non-sufficient funds) payments. When a payment was returned, I was charged both an NSF fee AND a separate late rent fee, and then required to pay exclusively via cashier's check or money order for a set period. In practice, this created a situation where a single banking issue triggered multiple fees and payment restrictions, even after the rent and associated fees were fully paid. This policy was not clearly explained in advance in a transparent way and felt overly restrictive in effect, even after the original issue had been resolved. I also experienced utility billing confusion and inconsistencies, which were difficult to reconcile month to month and lacked clear explanation. Communication with management was often formal but not resolution-driven. Many issues were referenced as "closed" or "resolved" in the system while the actual problems persisted, requiring repeated follow-up to receive any meaningful resolution. While some maintenance actions were eventually completed (including oven replacement and selected repairs), these occurred only after extended delays and multiple escalations. Importantly, the location itself was also a concern due to ongoing safety issues in the surrounding area, including high crime conditions, which impacted my overall sense of security living at the property. On May 29, 2026, I received notice that my lease would not be renewed for the next term. While I was already preparing to move out, the timing followed a period in which I had consistently raised concerns about maintenance issues, billing practices, and communication problems. Overall, my experience was marked by recurring unresolved maintenance issues, inconsistent enforcement of policies, and financial practices that felt overly restrictive toward tenants, along with concerns about safety in the surrounding area.

We have encountered…read morenothing but issue after issue... somethings have been resolved other have not after month and month of broken promises. We are making due because we have no choice right now. Right after we moved in the prices for an apartment our size went up by like $400. It's sad because the office staff are all nice. Too bad the apartments have not been kept well. They do everything as cheap as possible. They used a cheap latex paint to paint the bathrooms and every time we shower it bubbles up.. some areas have peeled of. Do not be attracted to the fact that there is a workout room... the majority of the equipment and machines are broken. The people in our building are nice, so we are definitely grateful for that. It could be worse, but it could also be so much better.

Where do I start, on how shitty this complex is. For starters when I first moved in I noticed a…read moresquirrel in a cage, and I called the office right away. They told me they would handle it. A few days later the squirrel was still in said cage, but unfortunately the squirrel is now dead. I then called again and let me know, they didn't seem to care. Also when we were first moving in they told us we would have air con in every room. We do not. Also for a few months straight they somehow confused our water and rent bills when we paid them. Although whenever they were each paid we would name what they were for. Their answer to what could fix it? They told us " You should just pay directly to the water company so WE don't mix it up again" or how about you figure out what the hell you're doing. They then changed companies without informing anyone, and when I tell you this new company is probably 10 times worse, I'm not even joking. The office staff has no idea what they're doing. Every time I call and ask a question they don't have the answer. We've had hornets all over our balcony and they still haven't done anything about it. Our washer and dryer have also broken twice now and they're refusing to give us new ones. The washer also leaked to the downstairs neighbors and just patched up the hole. Another thing we noticed about our "luxury" apartment is that there's a HUGE whole underneath the carpet in the hallway . Someone could very easily trip over, the blinds are so cheap, I can't even have my air on without them falling off. They literally take almost 2 weeks to " fix anything. Our dishwasher was broken and it took me calling for almost 2 weeks straight for them to finally get off their asses and fix it. Since day one of moving here our kitchen faucet has been leaking. They told my roommate " unless it becomes an emergency we won't fix it" I'm sorry isn't it your job to fix things that are broken? I had also put in a work order for the showerhead because it came undone, and it took them over a week to fix it. When they "fix" things they just cover it up with spackle and tons of paint. Which doesn't really fix anything. The also have a dog park, but the dog park is full of dog poop that people don't pick up. Also almost all the doors leading the park are broken, and your dog could easily get out. How they're raising their prices so much is beyond me. Almost everything in this place is probably 20 years old, they're super outdated and need a major facelift. If you were smart you would not move here.

( Potentially Relevant Data: Move-in Date: 03/01/2025 Move-in Finished: 03/06/2025 Pathing: Concrete stairs with railways (no elevators) Car Lot: Excess parking + Handicap Reservations Add-Ons: Private Garage/Storage Space Local: Walking proximity to nearby restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment, emergency services, etc. Factors Relevant To Personal Experience: Floor Elevation: Three (3) Building Identifier: "West" Age: 22 Tenant Count: One (1) Tenant Additions: Not bringing any pets ) - Solid rent that does not deviate based on the date of your move (like moving-in in January vs March, some other places will charge more or less depending on the exact date you move-in, and how long you choose to make your lease; Willows of Wheaton does not do that, and appears, at least to my current knowledge, to potentially only offer 12 month leases, which is perfect for me). - Super responsive maintenance, as I unfortunately had already needed to ask for them due to a small issue with the bedroom door not closing and the HVAC system making a weird noise that were both resolved within 24 hours! - Wonderful leasing office staff; they may have more than one person working the leasing office, but I only ever interacted with Lauren, and she is so amazing, super nice, and unbelievably helpful, accommodating, and relatable in any given conversation. I cannot thank her enough for all her help answering questions and getting stuff figured out in general. - The entire complex appears to be a super laid back, quite environment that has a foot of concrete in between each floor, so if you have someone above you, you don't need to worry about any noise they might be making, as you will likely not hear it (though I confess that I am currently on level 3, so I cannot vouch for this fact with 100% certainty, but it was something I asked Lauren about because I didn't want anyone to be bothered by me just walking around in my own place, and at my previous apartment complex, I had someone above me and I could hear every foot step they made lol). - My balcony (medium sized, and is made of concrete, and is designed in such a way so that you generally have privacy from your neighbors) currently faces the woods, so it's a perfect view with a super soft and quiet scenery that will only grow more pleasant when the leaves start to grow back over the next couple months as the spring season begins (I didn't really feel comfortable using my balcony at my last apartment complex because the balcony was made of wood instead of concrete, was semi-small, and I was on the second floor facing the parking lot, so everyone could see me as I sat outside on said balcony, and I just didn't really feel at ease using it). - If your apartment is on level 3, you will have raised ceilings. Overall, I have been having a great experience, and am so thankful for Lauren and the Willows of Wheaton's maintenance team who have both been amazing at their crafts. Can't go wrong with this place.
