Lakeside at Wheaton Apartments

If you want to live in a place where you have property management that is reminiscent of your RA from college, then this is the place for you. The constant passive-aggressive letters the leave on your door, threatening to fine those who do not comply, are simply annoying. Then they have this horrible system of fee's, bills, extra add-on's etc. Forget about getting your security deposit back, they keep that and then charge you more for normal usage in their not so "luxury" apartments. I've… rented several places over the years and this was the worst. The lease you sign to move in is close to 50 pages long! Save yourself the headache and rent from an individual. Read More

I lived at Lakeside for about 16 months and I loved it. I had a 1-bedroom apartment that was not renovated. It was a good size and relatively quiet. The location is also great as I could easily walk to parks or ride my bike to nearby restaurants. I would say the only downside was that it only had one AC unit in the living room, so it was difficult to get airflow to the bedroom in the summer months. The pool they have here is the best I’ve had in the 8 apartments I’ve lived in.

The property… manager changed about 3 times while I was there, but the most recent, Julie, was great. She was always professional when I spoke with her and addressed my concerns right away. I moved out because I found something more cost effective, but I have still been recommending this apartment to my co-workers and friends. Read More

My sweet home! I have to say that lakeside has exceeded my expectations! From the street side of the apartment, the building looks a little drab. But upon walking around the back, there is a verdant little pond with ducks and other little animals (nothing too wild, relax)! The pond has a bridge that wraps around the pool to the entrance of the pool house (renting center). This center is clean and nice; containing a little gym, a pool, two locker rooms, community computers, and a clubhouse lounge… . The lounge is also an office to one of the staff members--All of the staff are wonderful and welcome you to drop in for questions and free wifi and Keurig drinks! The buildings are sectioned into three flats, with four apartments on each floor. This produces a little bit of community and privacy, as there are only a few consistent residents passing through. Residents are diverse in age and background, but we have never had a noise disturbance despite having everything from families to college students. The apartments are small but cozy, and the maintenance staff assist with winterizing the apartments (as all have large sliding doors and a/c units). Utilities stay low, at least for us, it was only another $120 for all utilities, water, natural gas, and various apartment fees thru the winter. The price is right for this apartment complex!

Lakeside Apartment Homes have nice good size apartments with balconys and patios BUT, the rents are very high and on top of rent they nickle and dime you to death monthly for addition costs for water, garbage collection, sewer costs, gas (heat). and pest control. Plus yearly they charge you a $200. amenity charge when you renew your lease!!!!
