The Paddock Apartment Homes

My friend and I were apartment hunting for her daughter who will be attending WMU in the fall. The place appears to be a great place for college students, nice grounds and The agent Ryan who took us on a tour of facilities and he was very helpful.

I have lived here for the past 7 months and my experience has been horrific. Management is quite possibly the worst in the business, they talk to their residents with an attitude and refuse to acknowledge their own mistakes. From day 1, this has been a terrible place to live. They wont let you move in early because they're "cleaning" but when I moved in, there was cereal left under the bed given to us and the side of my tub was covered in dog hair. The rest of the apartment was also disgusting… and clearly was not even looked in before move in. Every time I have spoken with management, they have spoken to me in a condescending manner and are incredibly unprofessional. They refused to help my roommates and I when we had a bad roommate. They allow everyone to have parties, even on weekdays. Poor parking situation, if you don't get home before 7pm, good luck finding parking remotely near your apartment. They did not keep up with plowing and shoveling the walkways/stairs, I've fallen a number of times since winter began and my car literally got stuck because of their refusal to properly plow. This place is just terrible, your money could be better spent elsewhere. Read More

The model was very nice. When the apartment was rented out to me, it was extremely filthy with broken furniture. It took about 1 month to get everything together once together, there was always an issue with payment. The only time there wasn’t a problem with payment is when the payments were submitted USPS overnight mail. Courtney the property manager is not always honest. She will make promises to do things and then make an excuse why she didn’t. In order to resolve any problems I would… suggest contacting the property management company in Troy, MI. One positive: it is near WMU campus and they provide transportation for the students. Read More

My daughter moved into the paddock a year ago as her first apartment. I was very nervous having her on her own for the first time but I feel safe having her there, especially with having the gated Community and security.
