I can't believe some of the reviews on here. Most of them have to be the "late payers" who are just disgruntled. I've lived here for almost 4 years and in the last 8 months the place has changed dramatically. It is cleaner, quieter, safer. Maintenance responds immediately. I didn't have a mailbox lock on my mailbox, never have. I called the manager and a maintenance guy installed one the same day. She told me that before she started no one had mailbox locks and if you request one maintenance can install it for you. The apartments are upgraded and are very spacious. For Royal Oak, the price is cheap. Try looking for another place this nice under $900 a month. I did swim in the pool a couple times over the summer and then noticed it was closed. The guy who picks up the trash told me it was because some idiot through toilet tablets in the pool and the water was contaminated and had to be drained and re-filled. I don't think management can be soley responsible. We did have some idiots here.
