A Mother's Perspective
My son recently relocated to this property, and I must admit, I had my concerns. The area is rapidly developing, with easy access to Chicago via the Metra train. Coming from a small farming town where my husband and I know our neighbors well and hardly ever lock our doors, we initially felt anxious about his move. However, our worries quickly dissipated!
My husband and I had the chance to visit our son at Prairie Centre, and we were truly impressed by the beauty and comfort the property... provides. His apartment, situated on the second floor, felt like a private oasis. The buildings feature secure double-door entrances and a monitored mailroom with video surveillance. The hallways were fresh, clean, and quiet, making me feel like I was in a resort in Mexico as I walked through.
The apartment itself was stunning, complete with stainless steel appliances, beautiful countertops, and flooring. He also enjoys his spacious balcony for his array of plants and flowers. The clubhouse is three stories high and impressively large, offering a variety of amenities. It includes a reasonably sized gym, a movie theater, a yoga studio, and a lounge area with pool and card tables, all overlooking a gorgeous pool.
As a mother, I began to feel more at ease witnessing the safety features in place. Every door was secure and required key access, there were emergency police pull alarms on the walls for urgent situations, and I noticed several police officers patrolling the property during our brief stay.
One evening, I had the opportunity to meet Nadia, the property manager. I introduced myself, fearing she might think I was an overly protective mom, but she greeted me with grace and understanding. She, too, has young adult children and took the time to reassure me by sharing insights about the additional safety features the property offers. Thank you, Nadia, for your comforting words.
If you're seeking reassurance about your college-aged child living in this property, look no further. This place is impeccable, with clean and quiet apartments. The property manager was wonderful to talk to and ensured our son could reach out to the office with any questions. Unlike many other apartment complexes in the area, which rely on answering services, having a real person – a fellow mom – made me feel much more secure. This property truly cares for its residents beyond just being paying customers.
