I moved here at the lakes last late summer.I LOVE it because it is so assesible to all the Northside has to offer.Its in walking distance to grocery stores and resturants.I am not far from my family and my place of employment.I havent lived in an apartment for almost 25 years so I was very cautious and nervous about which apartment to choose,there are soo many.I narrowed my search down to a few and the Lakes was one of them.I drove over to get a feel for the apartment community and the 1st time it somehow felt right.I bought my sister there and she felt the same and I knew it was the place I would choose.I have been very happy clean,very quiet,has everything I need.I wish there was more lighting at night and several times this winter the walkways were not cleaned good, and I almost tripped and fell,but the last few snows the walkways were MUCH better,I also have a few maintenance issues that will be resolved..other that that its been good..I havent make it yet to one of their get to know you events though I am glad we have those regularly which is really nice and a way to get to know your neighbors that may not live in your building.So far my neighbors in my unit are great!..I look forward to more events here and the spring and summer..The office staff is soooo wonderful and kind and plesant,,thats a big plus!Thank you for making this a great place to live!
