I have been living here for over 5 years now. Overall The Lakes is in the safest neighborhood and great outdors and a trail around for dog owners, spacious apartments, can be noisy if you live in downstairs unit. Maintenance is on time mostly and great team. Staff ok, try you never have to deal with them. On the pricey end though, not completely worth it

I lived here from 1977-1982 then moved three blocks away. My husband passed and I decided to return here in 2017. The Lakes has everything I need. Staff and maintenance provide wonderful service, the property from the walking path to the pool, streets, etc. are maintained, and nobody handles snow issues like maintenance and contractor. I could go on but I will leave it at The Lakes is a nice place to live.
