Lancaster Lakes

Can’t say enough good things about the staff at Lancaster Lakes! Professional, personable, competent, and friendly can all be used about every one of the staff members. I feel blessed to live at this apartment complex!

Excellent community all-around. Love all of the amenities available. Working from home with the view and peacefulness Lancaster has to offer is perfect! Highly recommend!

Office staff is very friendly - Carrie and Nate are always so kind and helpful!

The amenities like the tennis course playground dog park and can’t forget the pool are all kept well and are very good additions for this complex. Whenever something needs to be fixed it is done in a orderly fashion and right away. Also I can’t forget about the people upfront they are all great and they ACTUALITY LISTEN!!!!!! I love this place!!!!!!!

Having lived here for many years, I have had enough time to give a decent perspective of this apartment complex. I will list my Pros and Cons below.
Pros: Nicely kept, quiet, crime-free environment. They recently replaced the toilets in all apartments. The management and maintenance is attentive, timely and friendly. They recently repainted all buildings. All blacktop, pavement and cement is well kept. About 2 years ago they started shoveling the snow and salting all walkways. Summers are quite… beautiful here with the very well kept grounds. The pool area is kept very nice in the summer. The gym is kept clean, and they have lots of nice and working elliptical and treadmill machines as well as some weight lifting equipment. Its walking distance to the Kroger grocery store, Aco, coffee shop and different fast food.
Cons: The water quality is horrible. Do not plan on using the dishwasher as the water is so hard. The water stinks up the dishwasher and Multiple cleanings do not help. The new toilets already have permanent stains from the water and CLR wont even touch them. Another interesting detail is that if the 'clean' toilet is not flushed often, an oily film forms on top of the water and it has an iridescent look to it. Very strange. I would absolutely NOT drink the water or feed it to pets. And definitely buy a filter for showering in it. I mentioned the water issue to maintenance and they said that it comes from a local community well and that there is nothing they can do. I also learned from maintenance that they used to have water softener systems but they did not know why they got rid of them. My suggestion is to purchase professional filter systems if you decide to live here for any period of time. The Exterior of the buildings could have used alot of trim and siding replacement before being repainted. Interiors definitely need to be updated. They have popcorn ceilings. Kitchens are outdated. Plastic Blinds are so old that they crack VERY easily. Bathrooms are outdated. Tubs are very old. All doors, handles and exterior locks need to be updated/replaced. My final gripe is of course the price. The latest yearly increase was rather large and a bit unexpected. I hope that the yearly increase goes back to normal. With the coming market & real-estate correction, rental prices will hopefully follow suit. Read More
