I have lived here since April 2007 and have no complaints. The office staff has changed since I have been here and that is certainly an improvement. They are very friendly and have taken the effort to learn me by my first name, which is a nice change from other places I have lived in. I have made three maintenance requests (toilet flapper, new thermostat, and structural repair) and they have been very prompt, efficient, and haven't left any mess behind. The maintenance staff are very friendly as well, and if you are there while they are working you don't feel like you have a skeezy weird guy in your house. The construction is good, you can't hear your neighbors through the walls or hear their dogs barking; you don't feel like you're rattling your neighbor's ceiling if you jump on the floor...The rent is a good value in my opinion; my one-bedroom is 750 sq. ft. for $605/mo, and they will give you a $15 discount with proof of renter's insurance. Pet deposit is $200 I think and pet rent is $15/mo. They have breed and size restrictions, no de-clawing requirements though.

You can easily walk to Kroger, Walgreens, Dollar Tree, and a good variety of fast food restaurants... a UDF gas station, dry cleaners, Blockbuster, hair and tanning salons are all close by. There is a great public library across the road as well, and the apartment is located at the head of the Oakbrook community, a quiet, established community with a 2 mile paved walking trail.

The only things I would consider a drawback are:
*The appliances are not up-to-date, probably from the early '90s, which is fine but my previous apartment spoiled me with brand new Whirlpool appliances.
*The only security on the door is the deadbolt, which again, I was spoiled at an old apartment with a keypad security system, but truthfully you should feel very safe here. The one-bedroom side of the community is mostly young couples, divorcees, and single professionals. It's pretty quiet, although I can't speak for the two-bedroom side of the community.
*The "fitness room" leaves much Much MUCH to be desired... they only recently added a second working treadmill, have two bicycles that don't work well if at all, and a weight station.
*The closest outgoing mailbox is across the street and is picked up at 10:45. Considering that most mailboxes have a outgoing mail slot, this is a HUGE inconvenience to me.
