The staff and apartment amenities make the Lakes a great place to live. Typically the complex is quite quiet which is unusual given than we are less than a mile from Polaris. I enjoy the green areas, balcony and feeling like a valued renter by the staff. The apartments themselves have higher quality fixtures and cabinets...not crummy or old like some complexes. Any maintenance or noise issues I've had have been addressed promptly and resolved to my satisfaction. If you love animals and quiet living the Lakes is for you.
