| - I lived in Village at Lakewood for approx 9 months and I moved out in 2013. The location is great. I really loved the neighborhood. Being able to walk my dog every morning and evening on the greenway was a treat.
The complex was ok. The security gates on the parking lots always worked but 50% of the sidewalk gates were broken. Not nice to know the complex wasn't secure but, nice to not have to carry my keys when out walking the dog. The pools were always clean and the landscaping was cared for.
The unit I moved into was extremely dated. Old carpet, ancient kitchen appliances, and terrible windows. It also turned out to have a major roach (water bug) infestation. How they hid it when I did my walk through, I don't know. Pest control was in my apartment every other week - spraying, drilling holes in the walls and fogging, doing everything they could do - but the bugs wouldn't go. The living room window leaked water when rain water would run down the front of the building. Luckily, the outgoing management let me out of my lease before the new management came in. The roaches avoided my bedroom, which I thought was awfully nice of them. To be fair, my neighbors claimed to not have the same level of roach infestation that I did. People on the second floor, directly above my unit, claimed to have never even seen a roach before! Guess I was just lucky.
Minus the bugs, I liked the apartment and the management was very responsive. It was really quiet and my neighbors were very nice. Price wise, considering the dated fixtures and bug problem, I paid too much for that little one bedroom. I went into the complex a few weeks ago to visit a friend and saw that they had my old unit torn apart. Hopefully its been completely gutted, not just cleaned to turn it over again and let another poor soul deal with the infestation.
