I have been a resident for 2 years and I'm happy to say we are completely satisfied with our stay here. Jessica, the property manager, is a welcomed addition. She cute and very knowledgeable. The entire staff has been great and the property is excellentā€¦Ā See More >

    Horrific. Since new management there's been a steep decline. Apartment "notices" are often dropped off at your door the night before work of any sort needs to occur, if any notice is given at all. Sadly the maintenance crew, Anthony in particular, is wonderful butā€¦Ā See More >

                The management at the Abbey does not support resident complaints about noisy neighbors: neighbors with loud shouting, music, and fire hazards having grills just outside the outdoor balcony.

                          I am very sorry to hear you haven't been happy in your home. If you currently live here I would love the opportunity to walk your home with you so that we can take care of any items that need attention. We do pride ourselves on having happy residents so when we are complimented we ask that they tell the world their experience which is why we have so many great reviews. Our water bills have not been a flat rate in at least 5+ years and I apologize for the misunderstanding. However, the Charter Cable, Trash and Pest control is a flat rate each month. Also, we have never raised rent by amount in the past 5 yrs. Rental increases are based on current market rates in the area and market analysis are completed every month to ensure we are accurately priced. Please let me know if you would like us to schedule pest control for you and I can have them out there next week. My email address is managerlakeshore@abbeyresidential.com
