This is the worst place I have ever lived. Maintenance takes forever to follow up on work orders, and when they do they half --- the job. People blast music and yell in the parking lot until 4 in the morning on most days. Ifā€¦Ā See More >

    I was thankful to find something close to school. Come to find out there is a really bad cockroach infestation and a slumlord landlord who is intent on keeping your security deposit illegally and nickel and diming you into oblivion. Don't bother. Don't throw yourā€¦Ā See More >

        Noise, noise, noise! DO NOT MOVE HERE. The noise is terrible. I had to move here from out of state on an educated guess without seeing it first. Big mistake. The walls are paper thin. You think I'm exaggerating?ā€¦Ā See More >

          I lived in a four bedroom apartment for 1 year, and a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 years so I'm quite familiar with the apartment. It's very cheap and within walking distance of Drake University-where I was a student- so that was why Iā€¦Ā See More >

            I originally wrote a review for this place two years ago, about four months after I had moved in upon the request of the Manager at the time because all of the reviews online were negative. I had lived at Drake Park for about two years.ā€¦Ā See More >
