Resident 2010 - 2013

I had a really good experience with Park Forest. I lived there for 3 years, first year in a 1 bedroom (first floor), and the next 2 in a 2 bedroom apartment (3rd floor). First, the good comments. Excellent maintenance staff - prompt, efficient, pleasant. Very good office staff - always available, solved any problems I had, courteous. Safety - considering that this is Dearborn Heights safety was a prime concern for me, which is why I liked the fact that they were gated. In 3 years I never experienced or heard of any theft, assaults, drugs, or major disturbances. There were occasional times after office hours when the gate was open when it should have been locked, and it's very easy to circumvent the security. I often see cars waiting outside for someone to open the gate, and then they drive in right behind them. So don't depend on the gate as much, but it's still a potential deterrent, and I thought that the apartments were pretty safe considering the area. The apartments themselves are old, but well maintained. For the price and the space, I thought it was a good deal, and aside from minor maintenance problems I never had anything major happen. A friend of mine who lived in the apartments on the 1st floor 4 or 5 years ago said that his apartment flooded once, but personally I've never had any issues. As a suggestion, avoid the first floor apartments. They are just really dark. The windows are at ground level and not much light gets through. The upper floor apartments on the other hand get plenty of light. I was much happier when I moved to the 3rd floor with large, spacious windows. So overall, I was very happy with the complex and would recommend it as a good option for a 2 bedroom upper floor apartment.
