I absolutely LOVE living here. I have lived all over the country in small and large cities (NYC, DC) and this is by far the best apartment I have lived in. It is expensive, but this area is expensive and I think they are in line, if not a little less for what you get in the apartment and other amenities. It is private and feels like you're living in townhomes vs. apartments. The landscaping is always beautifully maintained. It's quiet with the ponds and wildlife (yes, you'll see all manners of fowl, turtles and frogs) but still close to Downtown Grand Haven. The walking path on Lakeshore is also really convenient and nice to use. You're going to hear some noises in your apartment, for example I live over two garages so sometimes I hear them opening, but it's not obnoxious or loud. I have never heard any other noises within my apartment.
I love all the new finishes, white cabinets, light countertops, great balcony space, washer/dryer in unit, and new appliances. I've only had three issues that required contacting maintenance and they came the same day and fixed it that day (garbage disposal, leaky pipe, and my AC unit). Everyone is really nice who works there and they actively put on events, schedule food trucks, and try to make this a community. There are a ton of dogs that live here (which I love! and own one) too.
I had a great start of touring two apartments to signing a lease also. Some other reviews mentioned "hidden fees" but they aren't hidden, they are in the lease but will change month to month because of your usage. For example, water and sewer. It's not great to have to pay separate from your rent, but if you know about it and are conscious of your use it's not a big deal (my highest was $13 a month with guests staying over).
Overall, I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a really nice apartment, attentive maintenance and management staff, and nice neighbors! (Pictures are from when moving in).
