Lakeside Apartments

Lakeside has purported themselves as ‘luxury’ and «choice» apartment homes. In personal experience, they are neither. The appliances are ancient, the ‘garden tubs’ cracked and discolored. All cabinetry and counter tops are the lowest level barely fit for salvage. The «maintenance» barely exists to the point where even changing a bulb in the dark dirty breezeways and entries are dangerous. These are temporary apartments at best if you are new to the area, or someone who doesn’t mind noise and filth. The number of dumpsters is completely inadequate, yet knowing that, they are never cleaned up in the surrounding area and trash is seen as ‘close enough is good enough.’ The «lake area’ is laughable, dirty and fly filled because the goose droppings are rarely (if ever) policed. What they call a «Dog Park» is an old fence surrounding a mud pit (disgusting!)The worst part, in my personal opinion (and that of a former neighbor) is that if you complain or request assistance, the office staff views one as a ‘troublemaker’ and the LAST thing they want to hear is ‘input’ of any kind.
Considering the cost, and the poor location, it would be preferable to stay in a ‘dive’ where at least one knows ‘going in’ to keep their expectations LOW!

The hall light was never on in spite of my complaints, which is perhaps why the woman downstairs installed a battery operated motion detector light of her own on the bannister beside her door. Filthy place with barking dogs running loose. «Maintenance» workers always hiding out In the building adjacent to the forest leaning on their brooms and smoking. Loose dogs. Vans full of non-​resident fishermen flock to the lake via the already overcrowded parking lot, leaving unsightly trash. Poor sound insulation. Stomping children and pathetic bongo playing neighbor.

Management is awful and apartments are old and a never end of maintenance issues.
