I lived here from 2000 until fall of 2002 and I am glad to be gone. The apartments themselves are nothing special and neither is management.
I found that since they have three bedroom apartments, it was very affordable for three people to get one and split the cost. My rent was less that $300 a month then. But the two bedrooms and one bedroom are just as costly as some places that are a little nicer.
One upside is that it is less than a minute away from the entrance to the expressway, which I miss. The location is really nice since that area is booming.
Another nice touch is that they have 2 bathrooms and a laundry room. You have to pay extra for the washer and dryer every month though.
One downfall is that the management told me I didn't give them sufficient notice of me leaving (they knew, but wanted it in writing). Instead of the normal 30 days, I gave them 17 days written notice and was penalized one month rent plus an extra hundred dollars ($900 total). Now, keep in mind that I was moving into a new apartment elsewhere and had to deal with the costs to move into a new place... I definately wasn't anticipating paying that kind of money just to move out of another.
They were generally non-responsive to the situation and came off as pretty uninformed for whatever questions I ever had. The fact that every single time I went in the management office there was a new person to talk to may have been the problem.
If it's your first apartment, and you are splitting costs... give it a try. It was never a place I would call home but it was alright for the time. I am paying the same amount now for a brand new two and a half bedroom/two bathroom apartment a little closer to Novi. If Meadowood keeps raising their prices I would see no justification for wanting to live there.
