i have lived at the Lakes of Schaumburg for a little over 2 years. there are 2 pools, 2 work-out rooms, guest accomodations, and a multitude of other services. each unit has it´s own full-size washer/dryer and dishwasher. some units (not mine) even have fireplaces. while my particular unit is quite small (1-bedroom) it is the perfect size for a single person. the grounds are well-maintained and the staff is most often helpful when needed. the other residents i have encountered are quiet and keep to themselves. this is not the type of complex filled with noisy, obnoxious tenants. the rent IS a high, but you certainly get a lot for it. if these apartments fit into your price range, i would definitely recommend living here.
