Willow Lake Apartments

Have been living here for almost 2 years and can only say I have had nothing but wonderful things to say. The grounds are kept up and the maintenance people are extremely efficient and helpful, the size of the apartments are great and the community is a mixture of all ages which is wonderful thing! I would highly recommend this complex.

My wife and I looked at a lot of places, and we’re confident Willow Lake is the best fit for us. We’ve been here for two years.

The physical environment is attractive. We like the brick buildings, and the landscapers really do a lovely job with the plantings, especially adjacent to the central water feature . Many of the units look out onto a patch of forest, which is tough to find on Long Island, and sometimes we see deer grazing outside. There is much more character and beauty at... Willow Lake than at the more recently built complexes around here.

Regarding the amenities — We never struggle to find an available washer/dryer in the laundry rooms; my wife likes to use the treadmill while her laundry is running. We appreciate the storage area for our bikes. And we never have difficulty finding parking for both our cars.

As for the apartment itself — We appreciate that the wood and tile floors are easy to keep clean, and we love the large picture windows in our living room and bedroom. It’s a very cozy space, especially in the winter.

Full disclosure: there are a few quirks — It takes a little while for the bathroom fan to clear steam; the furnace is a little loud; and the first-floor apartments get some cricket visitors (not uncommon in this area). But every place has quirks, and none of these bother us too much.

Whenever I express a concern, the office and maintenance staff are always quickly responsive and very friendly about it.

And we have good relationships with our friendly and respectful neighbors.

Overall, we’re happy and satisfied here, and we intend to stay until we relocate for the next stage of our professional training. Read More

DONT NOT RENT HERE
We got out a two-bedroom bottom apartment the BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!! The apartment its self it's not the worst but, the fan in the bathrooms don't stop. When you turn on the bathroom lights the fan goes on not fun to hear. Also, there was a major ant issue and we had to vacuum every day for us to not get ants, I guess the place doesnt spray for ants. For us, we got the rudest loudest young adults above us. So every night from the first night in the apartment to the last night... we heard pounding of the footsteps (yes even weekdays), they had parties up there screaming in the middle of the night until 3 am. The leasing women when we moved in never even asked us how things are going at all. Also, our wonderful neighbors upstairs lived to smoke weed. We knew when they smoked weed because it would fill our entire 2 bedroom apartment coming in through the vents. Another funny thing these top neighbors did was flick their cigarettes off their balcony to the small little garden area right in front of our door. The other people were nice but overall THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES! Read More

Horrible place to live. Worst rental experience of my life. Staff was very unresponsive.
