Management makes it amazing!

These apartments are clearly older, but they are well cared for and clean. The staff here is absolutely unbeatable!!! They are fun, easy going, but also firm! I cannot say enough good things about them. If there is an issue they solve is right away. The apartments are good, especially for the price. I’d recommend to anyone.

4years and I still love it.

I've lived here 4 years and I don't have any complaints. The office staff to the maintenance men are amazing. The property manager is amazing and always has a smile even when you see him out in the community. They are kind hearted and greet you by name and treat you like more than an apartment number. When I have ever needed something fixed or helped with something Shane has been to my apartment with in 30min and has it done. Even the unfortunate middle of the night maintenence call they are... here with in 30min. They have pest control spray every few months so that we don't have any spiders or unwanted friends in the apartments. Honestly it's been an amazing experience living here. The complex I live in is usually very quiet and the neighbors are very friendly. There are lots of dogs being walked around and all are happy to welcome being pet. When the pool is open (pre covid) it is very well kept and clean making it enjoyable for us as well as our guest.

I’ve just moved in a few weeks ago but already I love Forest Park! The staff is very friendly and quick to respond! I’ve been full of questions as this is my first apartment and they’re always so helpful! My unit is very cozy and perfect for my needs. The area is safe and quiet too!

Great apartments

I rented from them for almost a year and a half. Crystal and all of the forest park employees were wonderful, they were kind and courteous. Fast and on time, and very affordable. A great first apartment, and I highly recommend it to anyone!
