I originally came to Deer Valley in Lake Bluff for its location. It is super close for me to work and to all the highways and train stations. Since I've moved in I have enjoyed living here. My neighbors and everyone I have met here have been very professional friendly and nice. I feel very safe here coming home at night especially since I work late. The reason I have stayed here for 5 years are becuase of the big floor plans and the laundry in unit!! I also love my fireplace in the winter and the great outdoor pool in the summer. A little while ago a new management company took over. They have been great to work with and I am definaley seeing some majorly positive changes. They are also doing a lot of work on the property common areas and apartments. About a week ago I transferred apartments and now live in one of the renovated units. Man was it a treat to move in to one of these. I moved into a brand new apartment with new kitchen cabinets, ss appliances and grantie countertops. I wasn't looking to move but since I did I am so happy and I enjoy coming home even more now. The management staff and maintenance staff has always been courteous and professional. I have enjoyed working with them very much also.
