When I came in 2010 I was very happy to have a nice apartment and beautiful setting (wooded surroundings), I felt it had a good sense of community such as fun parties for the kids at Halloween with games and candy and catered chicken dinner for all , Christmas they held free gift wrapping and Santa for the little ones. You knew the staff and maintenance. Approximately 3 years ago Thomas Lake was bought by Nationwide, that's when sense of community was wiped out and any Tom ---- or Harry showed up at your door for maintenance. One guy had to come after hours for my plugged up toilet and I could smell booze on his breath and he never cleaned up after himself. He left a muddy floor from his shoes and he gave me the creeps. Rent is extremely high and trust me Nationwide is NOT on your side. Keep looking, you'll find much cheaper rent elsewhere.
