I found this community 3 years ago. After looking around I knew this was my best option if I wanted to move. I put myself on the waitlist the following year then stayed where I was living. The following few months I regretted that decision and put myself back on the waitlist to move in early December on 4 floor plans on the first floor. I gave my notice where I was living waited and I got the call the month prior to the end of my lease. They would have an apartment for me in one of the floorplans on the first floor. There is a waitlist but get on it like a year in advance and tell them your move in timeframe. It was the best decision I made and I love living at Lake Carlton Arms. Maintenance and office staff are great. I have several friends that have moved in long before I did and love it to. Do not let the waitlist scare you. LCA is worth the wait!!
