Grove at Oakbrook: Apathetic, criminal scam artists posing as office staff (Not Recommending)

2008-08-22T12:59:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A cardboard box would be cheaper, offer more security, and have a better office staff.

Grove at Oakbrook: Beautiful Gardens, shade and pool. (Recommending!)

2008-04-14T23:09:23-06:00

From frank999: most other apartment communities are angular affairs, with big, fat parking lots as the major spectacle. I love the protected feeling of shade in the summer. When they named it The Grove, I can see why, the developers had an eye for preserving their surroundings and for rendering their buildings ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-07-05T19:36:13-06:00

From mikemcd48: Management is only interested in renting apartments, once you move in don't ever expect to hear from them. Apartments are dirty and noisey.

2006-05-17T20:22:45-06:00
