Lakeside Apartments

I'm so glad I've left these apartments and I moved in without reading reviews, honestly I'm SHOCKED reviews are as high as 3.9.
Neighbors all around me are loud and obnoxious, playing club music as loud as possible at all hours during the day/evening. I've complained numerous times, but nothing. I've left emails noting times residents have stolen packages but they never respond or they tell me to set up cameras (isn't that your job?). The children in this complex are soo disrespectful and do... whatever they want. They trash the hallways and the courtyard with trash and they scream constantly throughout the hallways. I've had children banging on my windows asking to pet my cat even after telling then multiple times "no, stop banging on my window". Where are their parents?!?! Let's not forget the horrible parking situation. There are residents that have way more cars that the required limit, so good luck finding any parking space past 7pm! Complaints to the office do absolutely nothing. I keep seeing warning emails but at this point it's just the boy who cried wolf and nothing is ever done.
Also the washer and dryers are usually broken and cost way too much money and there's only 4 washers 4 dryers for the 32 unit apartment that has 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms and each building has loads of families... so good luck getting your clothes washed.
Run away. There are plenty of other apartments that are the same price but have a washer/dryer in unit and probably less disrespectful neighbors. Read More

Management is generally helpful to the extent and limits of their time and funds they have (such as installing security cameras in hallways here which no $ for now). They are/were great at holding packages and providing any type of assistance I needed as well as seemingly taking my issues/concerns seriously, although I did not hear back on many issues in short time. I understand they are very busy and lack enough personnel.

Sadly, Weidner has decided not to allow packages to be held in... leasing office, so you will not have this service here anymore. You will need to purchase your own box elsewhere or just pick up mail at the USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, or DHL yourself (arrange this). Packages left at doorstep are common though but risky.

Decent sized apartment with generally solid walls to keep out noise from immediate neighbors on sides. Fortunately, I don't have any on one side and the other ones are quiet. Not the ones across from me though.

Unfortunately, the walls do not block hallway (indoor) noise outside apartment doors. Often, little kids have thumped/ran in the hallways.

Great overall maintenance team - usually prompt and provide competent repair.

Loud obnoxious unsupervised children running around everywhere- especially in warmer weather. They take over the courtyard and treat it like a playground with parents conveniently holed up inside apartments - rarely seen supervising them. Unpleasant. Very difficult to enjoy balcony facing courtyard with sudden loud screams, yells, shrieks, and squeals blasting my ears. Unpredictable ear shattering and yes, angering noise. Hard to have sound barriers here. Parents are lackadaisical - passive and seemingly lazy. Parenting doesn't seem to exist for these children.

Place is getting more expensive. Rates going up. Trash fees are a bit high here as well as water fees since multiple fees are included due to large apartment complex.

Upkeep is great - green. Well cared for lawns and trees.

Watch out for thieves. No cameras here and not very secure. Last Friday, a neighbor(s) passing by my apartment door in indoor hallway, stole my previously lost luggage delivered by Alaska airline's courier that he conveniently left outside my door against the wall without phoning me or knocking to let me know it was there. Reported to police and airline. It's one thing to have your luggage lost or stolen, and quite another for a neighbor or neighbors to do this. Cannot trust neighbors.

Lived here for 4 years, and I clean the mold off my walls and windows every 6 months. When the bathroom above me flooded it took an hour for someone to come. There's been a bug infestation in the hallway and the issue was not addressed for weeks. And there's more but I digress.

Absolutely do not be fooled by these well lit pictures. These apartments are grungy on their best day. Our peeling countertops were glued down, the chipped sink was painted white, our water heater takes up a quarter of our walk in closet and the whole apartment slopes downward to the backside. They caulked over the grungy caulking in the bathroom to give the appearance of clean/new. There are 4 washers/dryers per 35 unit buliding(1, 2 & 3 bedrooms) 2 of the dryers in my building have barely... worked since we moved in. We were desperate and exhausted upon move in so these things were noted but brushed of as unimportant. A year later they want to raise rent 9.5%(100$) for a 1 bedroom. We are near perfect tenants, never late, never noisey and didn’t complain about a single thing. We will be moving as soon as we are able. Please take my word and do not live here, please. Read More

From the poor communication of the leasing office to not notifying residents for maintenance these apartments are terrible. The inside is littered with bugs the cabinets are old and break frequently. The only single positive thing about this place was the lake. Highly don't recommend this over priced poor quality apartment to anyone.
