Northgate Apartments

I’ve lived here since summer 2021 and honestly it’s been great! I have no plans to leave unless I move out of Springfield. The rent is very affordable which is becoming harder and harder to come by, and to me that's very important. When I moved to Springfield I wanted something affordable but still NICE, and I would say both of those things continue to be met. One thing I wish I had thought about before moving in was not having any outdoor private space (i.e. a patio or small balcony on the… units), but honestly, for the price and having A/C that never has an issue, a washer and dryer in the unit that's also never had a problem, not a huge BUT a nicely updated kitchen, etc., I can’t complain about that. Safety-wise, for what it’s worth, in the last 2.5 years I’ve never had a scary safety issue or had anything alarming happen in my building/floor; also last summer I was working abroad and left my car in the parking lot for 3 months completely unattended and it was completely untouched the entire time lol. One time in that span of time, a person was camped out behind the dollar tree for a few days and their dog got in the property and was exploring around a little, but honestly the situation was not unsafe, was taken care of quick, and a few of us got the dog attended to. All in all they do a good job of keeping things secure with the pedestrian and car gates (a dog is a bit of an outlier in my opinion lol). I’ve never felt unsafe but I’ve lived in both much worse AND much more bougie neighborhoods across the US. as a single woman I’m not exactly walking around near Kansas Expy at night lol but I do walk my dog around before sunset and everything’s always been chill. The property manager has changed a couple of times but each person I’ve interacted with has been kind, helpful, they quickly helped me out when I needed the after-hours maintenance once, the only time it was needed. Neighbors definitely can be loud at night, but that’s more of an apartment-complex luck of the draw thing to me and depends on who lives/moves in by you. I’d recommend this complex without feeling like I was needing to make disclaimers or gloss over things at all, and if I was doing it over again I’d still lease here Read More
