So I will admit that lakeforest is a beautiful place to live, but as far as the finanicial part of it, they suck. They charge you an arm and a leg for moving in and moving out is even worse. They take 3 months worth of the water/sewage out of your security deposit oh and I moved out april of 2005, it is now march 2006 and i STILL have not recieved my part of the security deposit. I have called numerous amounts of times and they claim that I get over 200.00 back, but where that money is who knows.
Oh, and I was a resident and my car was towed because the sticker was in the wrong part of the window, ------ I'd have to say. So 95.00 later, and 95.00 short of my rent, I was really upset. Especialy when they wouldn't reimburse me.
I would NEVER recommend this place for someone that is trying to watch your money, they will take ALL OF IT from you.

The place really went downhill when new ownership took over a couple of years ago! Everything seems to be falling apart. I lived on the second floor, the staircase that lead to my door was becoming a real hazard. Nails were falling out and the boards began to warp, some sticking up six inches or so. I had mice several times, birds and squirrels lived in the walls (try to fall asleep with critters running around - what a nightmare)! A squirrel even made it into the apartment one night. I chased him around in my underwear in the winter for a half hour or so with a broom until I finally got him out the door! - Nice huh? The trails are a total joke? They are overgrown with weeds and shrubs you might want to take a pair of clippers along with you on your hike. Oh, I hope you don't plan on playing tennis here - the ball will definitely not bounce straight - there are cracks everywhere on the surface and a huge pond resides smack dab on the center of the playing surface - good luck?? Parking is a real nightmare! I hope you don't plan on having guests over. The guest parking was like a half-mile or so up the road from my complex - how nice in the winter. The towing service hangs around like vultures. My buddy???s car got towed on a Saturday morning after about 20 minutes after he got over. The towing co. towed his car all the way across town and charged me $90 bucks! I wouldn't be surprised if management is getting a kickback from the towing co. Finally there is a huge population of big dogs at the complex. The grass is stained yellow and you better watch out where you step ??? yuck!! I paid all utilities except for trash, which was always full forcing everyone to put their bags on the sidewalk and curb - how attractive? Water and sewer usually cost an extra $30 a month ??? what the f*#k???? If none of this would bother you, than move in, just be warned!
