2009-08-23T05:50:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in Lake Johnson Mews for two years. Overall I feel that LJM is a great place to live. All the appliances are fairly new with a great layout in the kitchen.

Lake Johnson Mews: Love Living Here!! (Recommending!)

2009-08-04T13:07:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into Lake Johnson Mews at the beginning of June this year. It is a relatively quiet complex, considering almost everyone is around my age (24). The property is kept up nicely and I have had quick responses anytime I have contacted the office. Overall, the location is wonderful ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: The place is falling apart AND there's A LOT of bugs!! (Not Recommending)

2009-06-23T09:39:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My parents and I just moved here a day ago. Everytime I open the door, a HUGE bug will come in. There was a really big roach flying around my room that same night I slept there. It's only been one day and I already have about 15 bug bites ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: Loved living here! (Recommending!)

2009-03-22T12:30:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for the past 2 years and liked it a lot. I never felt like it was unsafe, and the grounds were always kept nice. I only made one maintenance request online the whole time I lived there (clogged the toilet), and that request was honored later that ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: UNACCEPTABLE (Not Recommending)

2008-11-26T15:26:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In my opinion the biggest problem with this place is the on site Management. It generally takes multiple trips to their office to have any problem resolved (whether that's a maintainence issue, noisy neighbor problem, etc.). They're very good at telling you exactly what you want to hear and then ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: Overall not bad (Recommending!)

2008-11-26T13:28:17-06:00

From couchsurfing: I lived here for about six months, renting a 2 Bedroom 2.5 Bath "townhome" style apartment with a friend. The location was great-- we had a little trail right out the back door that went down to the park area. Very quiet and private. The wireless internet works fine for ...

Lake Johnson Mews: Don't believe the rental agents (Not Recommending)

2008-10-10T12:01:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is horrible. The management is real friendly when you are signing the lease and makes you feel real good about your decision. However, once you move in the management will never listen to you again. They will make you sign a good neighbor agreement, but they do not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-09-20T09:12:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Don't even think about living here. They at the office do everything to get an application from you, and they will just ignore you when you are a resident. You will never get a reponse from maintenece either. Builings are too old, so you can hear water dropping noise from ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: Pretty good for the $$ (Recommending!)

2008-05-21T13:30:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We just moved into this complex in March. It's in a college area, so you can expect some of the issues that come along with that. But, it's not nearly as problematic as some of the college apartments I've been to. The big bonus - it's literally right beside one ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: It meets your basic needs--a good choice if you can't spend quite as much $$ (Recommending!)

2008-03-24T23:15:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The above title pretty much sums it up. I've had a 1 bedroom apartment, and my rent price has been somewhat less ($50-200) than nearby/similar apartments. Based on the rent that I've paid, I have to remember that I get what I pay for. I don't have a renovated apartment--which ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-03-14T02:14:12-06:00

A few days after seeing that online, I visited, and the price was $650. I was told the prices change ... [click to read full apartment review]

Lake Johnson Mews: Lake Johnson Mews managed by Rip-off AIMCO (Not Recommending)

2008-01-11T07:13:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here many years.Too many years. This property has steadily declined due to lack of maintenance and management turnover (3 in past year). Criminals and thugs now live here. It is no longer a clean and safe place. AIMCO, the property manager, is interested only in what they ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-03-13T13:22:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have found the office staff to be inconsistent and rude, which is a shame, because this really is a nice area to live in and the apartments are well kept and pleasant.

2007-01-17T14:41:08-06:00

From goodolcountrygirl4: From the moment we moved in to the day we moved out, I realized moving to Lake Johnson Mews was probably a mistake, and boy was I right.

From joeswife1997@yahoo.com: Well I haven't seen much of an increase in the electric, but if there is an increase, it is not because of the people they hired; it's the damn insulation of the buildings to begin with.
