I have to disagree with the article I just read about this apartment. I actually lived at Maplewood Bend for 4 years and never experienced any problems with maintenance. They were very quick to respond when I put in a maintenance request, and were good about updating the building. In the 4 years that I lived at my apartment, they replaced or updated several items in my apartment. They completely replaced all balconies in my building, they replaced my fridge, and replaced sections of tne parking lot each year with asphalt.
The office staff at Maplewood Bend is also very friendly, and seem to actually care about the residents, which in past apartments that I have lived, was not always the case. Although police officers do patrol the area , I actually felt safer knowing that. I left my car outside every night and not once had a break in; however, my neighbor did have her car broken into and her purse stolen which was laying on her seat wide open. Was I concerned by this? Not really as this was the same night that half of Fargo had break ins to vehicles.
Overall I was very satisfied with my stay here and would have continued my residency if I had not purchased a house.
