    Nice amenities, but maintenance problems

    I live here and like the friendly, clean community, active social life, well-kept grounds, shuttle service and roomy apartments - great value with nice views and lots of activities. Staff are generally approachable and some repairs get done quickly, but I've had repeated water leaks (walls and under the floor), a stubborn fridge leak, crumbling carpet and cement dust during repairs. Management has been slow or unresponsive, with miscommunication, broken promises and no real follow-up or compensation; there are also pest and security concerns reported. I'd recommend it for the atmosphere and amenities, but only if you're prepared to push for timely, documented maintenance and clear communication.

    About The Lakes Apartments

    The Lakes Apartments is a 55+ gated senior living community with lots of simple comforts and perks for active adults. Residents find pet-friendly living here, so folks with cats or dogs don't have to leave their furry companions behind, and there's even a bark park along with free pet treats. The grounds are well-kept with jade and amber-colored trees, a blue pond with a walking bridge, and a courtyard that's full of shaded patio furniture and grills for sitting outside or having a picnic. If you like walking, the setting is tranquil, and you'll see manicured landscaping all around. Folks enjoy conveniences like on-site laundry, covered parking, and a computer station with internet access, while the business center and clubhouse are nice places to meet up or read the paper. Staying healthy is easier with the state-of-the-art fitness center and soaking in the soothing community spa or swimming pool, and there's a billiards room and spaces for bingo, monthly luncheons, and daily coffee in the clubhouse. Apartments are roomy with floor plans that allow for easy movement, and some have high, vaulted ceilings, extra storage space, walk-in closets, and features like a breakfast bar or pantry. Kitchens are all-electric and come with dishwashers, and units have either plush carpeting or stylish vinyl wood plank flooring. Many apartments have patios or balconies where you can relax outdoors. There are accessible units designed for mobility needs. Utilities come included, and flexible leasing is available, sometimes with a special offer of one month free rent and a waived administration fee if you apply within 24 hours of touring. Public transportation's within reach, which makes getting out and about a bit simpler, and there's an overall sense of community here where neighbors look out for each other and there's always something going on, though it's never too noisy or busy for those who like quiet.
