I've lived in apartment buildings in rural Michigan, in several communities in Atlanta, GA and here at Kendallwood over the last 8 years. Kendallwood is far and away the best community in which I've lived. My wife and I moved to Farmington Hills from Atlanta for better jobs (She's a Doctor and I'm a Financial Advisor/broker. No kids yet). We just signed for another 12 months AND referred friends of mine from my company to live here. They are moving from Chicago. In the 2 years we've lived here the service Kendallwood has provided has been excellent. The staff is prompt, respectful and they get the job done the first time. Every day I leave for work, I see the staff cleaning the community up and they wave to me and give a genuine smile. They know me. I know them. The relationship is great. Noise-wise, my experience has been great. It is a family friendly complex. Yes, there are kids (There is a school down the street). Yes, kids do play outside (as they should. The less video games the better). Families take family walks together through the neighborhood. In other words, it's an active, lively community. We have a fantastic large grassy lawn right out our backdoor where anyone can play in the grass (kids or adults). The pool and tennis court are easily accessible. The neighborhood kids have never been obnoxiously loud or troubling when they've played behind our house. They know me since I toss the football with them on occassion. If you are reasonable/friendly with them, they will return the favor. No booming bass/stereos/loud parties etc. We've never needed to call police and if it was needed, the Farmington Hills police station isn't far (I think a mile). My neighbors have all been quality people. I took the initiative and called the Farmington Hills Police department before I decided to move in and they recommended Kendallwood. My wife has never complained about any unsavory characters/thugs. She takes walks frequently with friends from across the street. When I lived in Atlanta, there were several car robberies (rims stolen, cars broken into) that I either heard about or saw the day after at my complex there (I lived off West Paces Ferry near Buckhead which isn't a bad part of ATL). Grounds are kept up very well. Pretty flowers/mulched/lawns mowed/lawn sprinklers in the summer. Snow you ask? These guys plow and salt EVERYthing so walking/drving around is as easy as possible in winter. And the staff is all over it right as it snows/ices. Construction-wise. The buildings are kept up and maintained well. We have a townhouse that provides an incredible amount of value (1400 square feet. basement. $1064/month). I do use a fan to move cooler air upstairs in the summer if it's abnormally hot and humid (very rare in Michigan). If it's bitter, bone-chilling cold outside I use a tiny heater for our bedroom ($30 bucks at Best Buy) and an extra blanket layer. FYI, I did the same thing when I lived in Atlanta and rural Michigan. Also, no trouble with rats or pests or bug infestations of any kind. The leasing office has offered free carpet cleaning on several occasions and we've readily accepted. Parking has been awesome. Minimal space between the carport/lot and our townhouse. I can remote start my truck from my bedroom on cold winter days. The other great things I love about Kendallwood... I can walk to the grocery store. The post office is right beside Kendallwood so I can walk to it AND the Farmington Hills Public Library is adjacent to the Post Office so I can walk to it too. It's only 7-10 minutes from the mall in Novi. Plenty of shopping up Orchard Lake as well. 2 years going on 3... we've found a great home at Kendallwood.
