Wood Wind Gardens

Do not move here if you are looking for a one-bedroom apartment. Again I will reiterate that this review is only for the one-bedroom apartments, and I cannot speak for the two-bedroom, and they honestly seem very nice. Every staff person I have interacted has been nothing gracious and respectful. The big issue with the 1-bedrooms is that they are technically at basement level. The absolute biggest issue is the noise from the floor above. Not the T.V. noise or people talking, but the walking.… Even when I know someone is just walking from the living room to the kitchen every single footstep sounds like they are jumping off the furniture and slamming down. Even with my Bose noise cancelling headphones on, I still hear EVERY SINGLE STEP. This means you live on their time. When they get up in the middle of the night, you are now up. If they get up at 4:30 am to go to work, you get up at 4:30 am to lay there trying not to cry(current situation.) Even with a fan, and T.V. on through the night it is louder than thunder and really makes this place unlivable. And I have had two sets of couples live above me, and no kids so I know it wasn't just a fluke, and after talking with my neighbor he had the same issue. Maybe this only happens in my building , but it is really not worth the risk My other issue is the quality vs. a two bedroom. I was shown a two-bedroom initially, even though I told them I wanted a one-bedroom,(because two bedroom was the only "show room" they have, and I thought the place looked fantastic. Nice stove, refrigerator, and the bathroom was great. When I asked if the one-bedroom was the same in terms of appliances/bathroom, I was assured that it would be the same or even newer! Then when I moved into the one-bedroom, nothing was the same. The stove looks like it is from the 50's with only one large burner, no glass to look inside and no light! The bathroom mirror in the two-bedroom was big and beautiful with three big bulbs and I was so happy because that's exactly what I wanted. The one I have now really looks like one in the movies when they're at a crappy motel that I have to bend down to look into and it is just barely wide enough to show my shoulders. It really seems like they don't care about the one-bedroom and only want to focus on the two-bedroom. In short, if you're not going to get a two-bedroom here, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Read More

I have lived here for a few years. I stayed because the location was so close to my work I couldn't give it up(yes, I hate driving that much). Why I won't renew my lease:
1. Rent increases by $15 yearly
2. Maintenance is SLOW. The one washer and dryer that SIX apartments share broke in the dead of winter. It took 3 weeks for them to "fix." Except it wasn't actually fixed with the new part they put in, so then it took an additional three weeks to actually fix. 6 weeks with no laundry in the dead… of winter.
3. Maintenance is Really Slow! Our oven broke and they couldn't get us a new one for almost 2 weeks, because they had no applicances on hand and the landlord didn't want to pay for a new one!
4. You are expected to salt the walkway yourself, and they will not shovel the entrance!(but they leave you a shovel...and salt)
5. The Leasing Office employees are RUDE. After a few months of moving in things started to break. They blamed it on us, the renter, and then never placed the maintenance request! Read More

I just bought a house but lived at Woodwind Gardens Apartments for 4 years. I enjoyed living there and was the largest apartment I ever rented. The community is very friendly, great restaurants and close to entertainment. The staff/maintenance crew are very helpful, take care of issues quickly and act more like friends then employees of the apartment complex. I was so lucky to have lived there.
