Resident 2005 - 2006

5/12/2006

Here are my experiences at Windsor Lakes.<br><br>Parking spaces in certain lots were repainted smaller so they could squeeze extra cars in. Not much room left to open your car door.<br>The 3rd floor (where I rented) was unbearably hot in the spring and summer. Was told to "Deal with it" by girl in the office. Electric bill was ridiculous for those months. Also management charges a premium for the 3rd floor.<br>I was attacked in the parking lot in December of 2005 (I’m 6’4 and 250 lbs this guy was bold) by another resident (knew he was a resident when he kept telling me that he paid rent and didn’t want me here) (high on meth (see below comment)). I gained the upper hand on the attack and the guy ran off and management ignored all attempts when I asked for assistance in identifying the attacker for the police.<br>Certain residents jam the locks to the front doors so they don’t need a key to enter the building.<br>Management staff was extremely rude every time I saw them. (Sometimes it was just saying hi on my way to workout or to the pool).<br>Began charging things to my account without cause, and when asked to explain the charges I was told “I don’t have to talk to you, goodbye” and was hung up on.<br>Stopped by to pay rent in person and no one wanted to take my payment. They seemed to be preoccupied in online dating behind their desks from what I gathered of their conversation.<br>Spoke to another couple residing there and they mentioned that they were being sexually harassed by their neighbor. (I followed up to see if it was my attacker, it was not).<br>Check Illinois sexual offender web site before renting (you will be surprised).<br>There was damage to my car along with several others where someone walked by and smashed all of the left tail lights on the cars parked on that side of the lot.<br>There is a lot of section 8 living there. <br>If you don’t know what a drug dealers meth lab smells like before you move in there, you will shortly. <br>The entrances to the buildings are filthy, carpets and walls.<br>The laundry room is disgusting, I started to go to a Laundromat.<br>There is goose poop everywhere. Parking lots, sidewalks, front entrances.<br>There are charges they don’t mention to you before you move in.<br>Don’t bank on ever using the whirlpool, kids are always packed in it and when you do get a chance, the water is just warm at best.<br><br>All I can recommend to you as a future renter is to shop around and don’t get fooled by the clubhouse and pool area. If you’re a single female, don’t even consider this place as an option. Look to a safer area with a more supportive management staff.<br><br><br>On a different note. The pool and surrounding area landscaped well.
