Pros:
The buildings were constructed at the beginning of the "new build" era for modern apartments with amenities. So while the appliances need to be updated and the finishings show wear, the footprints are larger than a lot of new builds. Plenty of storage. And there is less noise in my unit from neighbors than any other apartment I have rented in years. I've also met a few nice people! Location is great for access to lakes, but the neighborhood is in a bit of strange transition.

Maintenance… is helpful and has addressed items submitted through the ticketing system, even if instances have required me to follow up with management due to poor coordination.

Cons:
Deliveries are a consistent nightmare. Property management could resolve things with larger organizations (such as Amazon) directly, but it appears using a vendor *we* tenants pay for to assist in deliveries is the easier solution. Very annoying for grocery and other "realtime" deliveries. Things are consistently brought to the wrong building, even though the buildings have their own specific addresses.

The pool is still not open at the east building on 7/23/2026. The summer is almost half over. And the rationale that we can all just walk to another building to use their pool is lazy and unacceptable. We're paying the bills, you should administer. Simple.

The bedroom in my unit has an unsightly stain in the middle of the room. I was told prior to move in they would only replace the carpet if it was beyond "normal wear and tear." I guess according to Weidner property management, having it look like someone defecated on the floor of your bedroom is "normal wear and tear." I disagree and now need a rug on my carpet (to trip over) to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

When touring, if you notice the lobby and shared spaces in the "center" building are clean and nice, it may be because management has their offices there. The stairwells in the east building need some serious attention. Cleaning, paint, fixture repairs. Having to use the doors is gross. The garage smells like it hasn't been cleaned in years. There is no ventilation in the upper floor hallways, so it usually smells like marijuana, filth, or garbage. Not sure why a simple exhaust fan can't be implemented.

Overall:
If you're looking for a budget-friendlier option to nicer or newer buildings, this is something to consider. Keep in mind, even with what feels like high rent these days, you'll still get what you pay for comparably. Read More
