We Loved It Here
We are moving to SoCal this month, otherwise we would have called Willow Lake home for a long time. We moved at the start of the pandemic and have loved living here ever since! The property is well maintained and very enjoyable, amenities are updated almost annually so the lifestyle feels luxurious (but without the price tag), but their Team is really the best part.
Priscilla & Scott in Community Relations are FANTASTIC people! They have always approached our concerns with genuine care and… attention. Scott especially has been helpful with our transition to our new rental in SoCal. The Maintenance Team, Alberto, Miranda, & Jorge, will always give you a friendly hello as they work from building to building.Review from Apartments.com
