Overlook at Lakemont Apartments

The “affordable” rent is a trap. Hidden costs will hit you hard:
> Utilities average $500–$550/month for a 2B2B (confirmed by multiple tenants), thanks to inefficient heating and overpriced water/sewer.
>No free parking at all for new tenants and you will be forced to rent spots for ~$100/month

What you get:
>No elevator, dim lighting, low ceilings, outdated bathrooms, and zero soundproofing.
>A property management team that’s dismissive at best, negligent at worst.

As for amenities?
>The gym... is a graveyard of broken machines.
>Game room and pool have been closed for over a year, with empty promises of reopening.

I’m beyond relieved to be leaving. Don’t fall for the pricing—you’ll pay far more in stress and hidden fees. Read More

Over the two years I lived here, my power constantly cut out or had the circuit break simply for having the toaster and microwave going at the same time, or my computer and microwave on at the same time. I experienced my power cutting out well over 150 times. Then they also raised rent $400, and I still experience the constant power cuts. Not worth the price tag, especially if you use a beefy computer.

Maintenance staff are very fast and did a great job even in weekends.
Leasing staff checked on the completion of the service. Mia is really great, from leasing process to everything else.

Apartment seems nice at first but then will quickly deteriorate due to the low quality refurbishments. They are constantly upgrading the area which becomes bothersome. These upgrades are such poor quality and pointless. Consistent 300 dollar minimum rent increases every year. Terrible parking. Gym with mediocre equipment that never gets restocked with paper towels or sanitary wipes. Inadequate dumpsters so garbage is always overflowing resulting in a rat infestation in the area. Overall, for the... high price tag you would expect high quality and good service but instead you will find the opposite here at Lakemont. Avoid this place. Read More

I honestly do not have a lot of negatives to say about the complex itself. It's a lovely location, and the price is reasonable (Really cheaper given the amenities) overall, even for a tenant who left a bit crossed, I still had an overwhelmingly positive stay.

My only advice to management would be to update the apartments, especially the electricals. I left precisely because of this. I could barely run a hairdryer let alone an AC and with recent heat waves, this was a health hazard to my family... .

To the new management, AMC properties, I think the extensive renovations and maintenance work were positive starts nonetheless, understand that these may cause harm to some folk, and be a bit more empathetic with concerns. Bitumen and paint for two weeks are horrid smells to bear and not even a lease clause will override the landlord's obligation to shield tenants. More stringent enforcement of non-smoke policies would also be great, especially around the kid's play areas.

Overall, good place, with good facilities, and a complex worth staying in given the price. Read More
