King Arthur Apartments

This complex is very safe, quiet and affordable-especially for the Westmont area. The community feels peaceful and neighbors are respectful. The building is a bit older, and the basement laundry uses coin-operated machines which is kind inconvenient to be honest but overall it is a great value for the price. Rent increases are usually minimal which is very convenient and reasonable. The view is beautiful, and having a pool in the summer adds extra value. Parking is easy, and if you are looking... for stability. this is the place. I can easily see myself living here for a long time as a new resident. My only suggestion to the management would be to offer a digital payment option for more convenience. Read More

My husband and I lived here for half a year in 1996. I had a health issue in a rental townhouse and needed to move to a clean place with hardwood floors. This was it. The rent was inexpensive and the property management was great (family owned). I did not use the laundry facilities but I found a local cleaners who would do our laundry every week by the pound as fluff and fold using my detergent. I just looked up the place curious if it was still there and so it is 29 years later. The... listing says it has A/C now. When we rented in 1996 there was a space for a wall unit but no wall unit. We bought a portable AC that vented out the front window. It was cumbersome but it did the job in the summer of 96. The reviews describe it just like I remember and similar tenants. Photos show some updated cabinetry and bathrooms but basically similar to what we rented. Enjoy. Read More

I got an apartment based on the good reviews and price. Best things about the place for me was the neighbors and the closet space.
BUT, and a big but, there were many cons. Firstly, the layout made it very hard to sleep and I felt like I never had privacy since one of the sets of doors was entirely butted up against the parking lot. Not only that, but the front of the car faced your floor to cieling bedroom window. Every time someone would start their car I would wake up since there wasn't even... a wall but a glass door separating us.
In the winters, the plowing was scarce and salting was absent. I fell twice on black ice trying to get in my car and threw my back out shoveling ao I could carry groceries in the house.
From the date I moved in the appliances barely worked. I asked for a new microwave and never got a replacement. When I was cooking the vent panel fell on my head because it was loose, literally 30 years old.
The nail in the coffin was when I was told they were keeping 50% of my deposit for "primer" for "soot damage". Thier evidence was markings on the wall from what was essentially furniture and a wall hanging. I cleaned the place up and down before i left and left the place spotless. Just a warning! Read More

Moved here about 5 months ago and we love it!!! No problems at all so far !! Maintenance always addresses everything quick and fix anything!! Alot of really friendly neighbors and people from the office also really nice a!! Also great price Moved here from way more expensive places and this place beats them bi far !

I have lived here for 3 years now and just renewed my lease for another year. I plan to stick around for a while because not only is this the most affordable place I can find within 25 miles of my work, but the apartments are bigger than most (at least my 1 bedroom is at 750 sq ft) and they have hardwood floors. The owner/office staff are pleasant and send out maintenance quickly to fix anything necessary (although I rarely need maintenance). It is a quiet, undisruptive place to live. My only... major complaint is that I hear cars driving by all night because I am in building 5508 right off 55th St and the sliding glass door in my bedroom faces the back parking lot next to the road.
