I cannot recommend Spring Lake Apartments based on my experience.i lived there 5 years.
When I first moved in, I really liked the property and the previous property manager. Unfortunately, after the new manager took over about two years ago, things changed significantly. In my opinion, she lacked the experience and responsiveness needed to effectively manage an apartment community. Based on an email sent when she was hired, she was new to property management, and throughout my tenancy I felt she had very little understanding of tenants’ rights. Emails routinely went unanswered, and communication was extremely poor.
In December, contractors were given keys to the apartments and entered my unit without authorization, leaving my front door unlocked for the entire day. When I went to the office, understandably upset, I was offered a Starbucks gift card and a sincere apology. I never received the gift card, which unfortunately reflected the ongoing lack of follow-through I experienced throughout my tenancy. After that incident, I no longer felt safe in my own home. I have emails documenting everything that occurred.
Maintenance issues were not handled properly. We had a rat problem that caused damage, a tree fell and knocked down the fence and wasn’t addressed for weeks, and garbage was often left piled outside my wall. The pool was rarely clean and was never heated during the summer despite repeated promises.
Rent increased by the maximum allowable amount each year, except once they only raised it $50, but the level of service certainly didn’t improve. My security deposit was also returned eight days late, and I had to send a formal demand letter before receiving the full amount.
The walking path and the park across the street are wonderful, but good management matters. Unfortunately, that was not my experience, and I would not recommend renting here.
