The apartments themselves are what you'd expect from prefabricated models, and have abysmal insulation and air conditioning. The problems are compounded by management that's arbitrary about enforcing rules (including parking, noise, etc.) and a woeful maintenance system that funnels your request away from the onsite managers. I had a broken railing that took OVER A YEAR to fix because they couldn't find parts at first, then completely forgot about it, then repeated the process. I also had the utility company condemn my furnace because it hadn't been cleaned since well before I moved in and was putting an excessive level of carbon monoxide.

The supposed protections of a gated community don't apply at all, as the gates are left completely open half the time, and solicitors come and go virtually at will all the time. The reviewer mentioning lousy snow removal is dead on. I hate the moving process, but this place made me unhappy enough to leave so well before the end.

Highland Park is a great place to live. I think the snow removal via the snowplow and courtesy of sweeping out our breezeways was very nice. Besides, wasn't there a blizzard season last year? Hmmm, I wonder if that would be a challenge for snow removal? Yeah, when someone says only hateful comments like this you know he's just blindly hateful.

im seeing a trend here... every negative review is anonymously rebutted. either someone is blind to the fact that highland park is a crappy place to live, or the management enjoys defending themselves against unhappy residents.
