    Living at Lakeside Terrace was one of the most stressful housing experiences we’ve had. We were forced to move out due to ongoing harassment from the downstairs neighbors. We repeatedly brought this issue to management’s attention and nothing was ever done. Instead of addressing the problem, we were left walking on eggshells in our own home, even being threatened with eviction at one point, which created a hostile and uncomfortable environment—especially with a young child. Despite paying through the lease term, Lakeside Terrace withheld nearly 90% of our security deposit. There is nothing in the lease stating that moving belongings out a few days early is a violation, yet we were effectively penalized for it anyway. On top of that, they charged us for full carpet replacement even though we lived there less than a year and left the carpet with only normal wear and tear. We have video proof showing the carpet was in fair condition. The entire situation feels unethical and predatory—as if management looks for reasons to keep deposits rather than act fairly or in good faith. After being pushed out due to unresolved neighbor issues, getting hit with excessive charges on the way out felt like a final slap in the face. If you’re considering Lakeside Terrace, be warned: don’t expect support when issues arise, and don’t expect your security deposit back—no matter how responsibly you live there. Document everything and think twice before signing a lease here.

    I have been a resident at Lake Side, for 5 years. Office staff are amazing, and the living spaces are gorgeous! The property is also very weely kept. The office manager, Marija is an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Maria, Stacy, and Melinda have been a phenomenal team in helping us in any way they can to get us the beautiful lakeside unit!! We've had so many issues with Findigs and RentCafe but we came in to see them and they helped us every step of the way. We couldn't be happier to be here and to be apart of a community that cares about its residents!
