Pine Knoll Apartments

I went through their background check and paid their $300 holding fee and received and email saying that "The holding fee ensures that the apartment you applied to will be reserved for you as of the move-in date you specified."

The apartment was listed as available on February 14th, 2026 and I did all of this in the first week of January 2026. On January 27th, I get a call saying that the apartment they were holding for me was "no longer available" due to the fact that the current tenant... decided last minute to extend their lease.

They stated they typically have around 2 weeks between move out and move in so that means they allow the tenants to alter their plans up to the last week of their lease. So the apartment complex is falsely advertising availability of apartments when they don't have any rule stating that a tenant must inform them of plans by a certain time frame.

I would not lease with this property as you cannot trust anything coming from their office. Read More

2.5 year review. The staff is friendly. If work is needed to be done, it's done within a timely manner. Overall the place is quiet. Near the highway. Gas station and McDonald's very close. My only complaint is the Michigan weather.

The staff in the office and on the maintenance team is the best! Maintenance gets work orders done quickly and the leasing office ladies are friendly! It’s a wonderful community.

Told us we could rent apartment, took all of our money, ran background checks etc. Everyone signed the lease including property managers and then they call 1 week before move in and said "we made a mistake... sorry. "
What a joke! Find a different apartment!!!

Nice size apartments if you get an end unit. But stay away from the 3rd floors, especially if the half moon window faces the west. In the summer (or honestly any day that's sunny) the sun heats the apartment like crazy and the AC won't cool it off. We can't use the oven or stove on those days because it gets to almost 80 degrees. We've had maintenance to our apartment multiple times to check out the ac and they even put in a brand new unit but it still gets hot in here. We have a baby and a dog... and our electric bill is super high to try and keep them comfortable, which we really can't do. Read More
