2008-04-22T09:23:57-06:00

2008-04-06T21:48:26-06:00

The Lakes Apartments: Keep looking you can find better (Not Recommending)

2007-02-28T12:42:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Refering to the Lakes Apartments on 12 Mile:

Keep looking you can find better. They have these unusual fees, admin fees that if you apply online you don't have to pay. I feel they are overpriced and the maintenance people are slow. If you have a remolded apartment, it may be ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-04-19T23:07:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in The Lakes right out of college w/ a roommate. We looked at several places and this seemed to have the best location and ammenities.

2004-10-26T21:18:00-06:00

The Lakes Apartments: Stay Away From the Light................. (Not Recommending)

2004-09-15T00:00:00-06:00

From voodoo1492: This palce is a complete joke! The amenities such as the washer and dryer as well as the dishwasher is what got my attention.

The Lakes Apartments: NO! They're all gonna laugh at you!!! (Not Recommending)

2004-05-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Seriously, don't bother. The staff is rude. The maintenance requests are not normally dealt with quickly if at all!

From annoyed_guy: The positive: apartments look nice, well lighted, spacious and with good appliances

From -Anonymous-: I lived with a roommate in The Lakes for one year from 2000 - 2001.

2002-05-29T00:00:00-06:00
