Lake Street Apartments

My favorite part of living here is the grounds. Right next to these beautiful woods with trails for hiking and biking-- great place to photograph deer. Kids sometimes use the woods as a shortcut to the local elementary school.

My least favorite part of living here is the sink drains and the heat. Drains are skinny (or maybe rusty?) and get clogged somewhat easily.

Heat needs to be turned slightly higher to completely heat apartment to the temp on the dial. Sometimes the electric bill is a… surprise. I put rolled-up towels along the windows and that's keeps the heat in well. Also the heating is somewhat loud, which can be startling if you're a light sleeper.

Other notes:

-No problems with pests, which is a step up from some other local apartments.

-Louann, the apartment manager, is friendly and responsive to problems

-Right on the 40 bus line, convenient

-Easy walk or bike to the Acme / DrugMart plaza

-Not overly loud, but, you know. It's apartments, not the fortress of solitude. I've never had a problem, but I do sometimes wear earplugs when trying to sleep.

-Pool is clean and fun in the summer

-Safe in terms of crime, very low/no crime area

-Slightly less safe in terms of kids who sometimes dart into the parking lot in front of cars. Just about gave me a heart attack.

-Many smoke-free apartment options

-Not many wheelchair accessible apartment options, unfortunately

-Took Covid safety precautions seriously in 2020 w/r/t communal spaces Read More

As with most apartment complexes, you're at risk of having neighbors with zero self-awareness or care that they are blasting music in a place with mediocre floors and walls. What's beyond reprehensible however, is when I have to ask a neighbor two or three times to turn their music down and the landlord 1. texts my roommate telling me to stop "bothering the neighbors" and 2. goes ahead and discloses said neighbors medical condition to guilt me for making a reasonable request. She had the nerve… to say that I would "probably only have to deal with it for a few more weeks" after I called her about it. I have never been more disgusted with a landlord in my life and to this day I still feel sick knowing that my neighbor has passed away and she just viewed the entire situation like an inconvenience. I did speak with management who handled the thing more professionally but there is no way I will be renewing my lease here. Read More

Place is horrible. Managements would ignore my phone calls and instantly answer when I called on my fiancés phone. Owner is even worse, wanted me to testify in court on another tenants eviction due to their complete incompetence.

I absolutely love living here. There is families, and college kids. Its nice and quiet place. Maintenance & Landlord staff is happy to help quickly if needed on my apartment. They have a pool its nice when its open its for people who live there only with 2 guests. Which is nice. They will kick you out if you dont live here and dont have a tenant with you. Great locations to everything. If you have an emergency the police with be there in 2 minutes or less.
