I have been living in Churchill Place for 4 years and have not yet found any better options , that are in an affordable price range (under $1000) that have an in unit washer/dryer and an assigned garage included in the rent. I like the location- it's quiet but only a short drive to downtown Grand Rapids.
All of my maintenance requests have been handled same day as submitted, though I read that other reviewers have not had the same experience.
Angela in the office has always been polite and friendly to me when paying rent or asking questions.
The grounds are well maintained, and I don't have to worry about plowing or shoveling snow or mowing a lawn. I travel a lot so this is important to me.
I can hear my neighbors- but I have found a little white noise (fan or tv) solves that issue. When I had some concerns with new tenants parking oddly, and being abnormally loud it was addressed and corrected by management. I have not had any complaints other than that one time, in 4 years.
The only drawback for me is the no pet policy, but given my travel schedule, I'm not in a position to have a pet anyway, so that's minor for me. I love that they've recently gone to no smoking policy in the apartment buildings, and only allow it outside, or in the garages.
I would recommend these apartments to anyone who wants a well managed, worry free apartment home.
