If you're not a demanding tenant, you'll be fine here. I have been here for about 6 weeks & it's not the best or the worst.

I was really surprised that when I moved in they gave me no welcome packet or information about the area or even about the Lakeside community. I had no idea how to send out mail, pick up delivered packages, report service requests. I knew there was a gym here from apartment search websites, but the sales rep never mentioned it, showed it to me, told me how to access it (or even where it is), or what the hours are. Turns out you have to pay extra to access it after the office is closed (which closes at 6pm during the week).

The facilities are nice; the whole complex has just been renovated & there are all new appliances in all the apartments. Even the size of the apt is not bad. And I got a great deal on rent, otherwise I couldn't live here. There are 2 pools, but they seem pretty small to me, & they also have a dog park which is great for anyone who has a dog & it's really popular. There are only 2 trash dumpsters in the whole complex, though, & I didn't even know there was recycling until I was walking by the other dumpster by chance & saw it (another example of poor communication).

The commute isn't too bad, to 495 via 66 during rush hour is between 30-45 minutes.

I was given a nice welcome packet and shown where everything was. The dumpsters could use a little more sprucing up. They always seem to be overflowing with trash and broken glass is always around. I never knew they had recycling...guess I missed that one.
