Timberlake Apartments

"I have lived here going on 3 years now. I live in building 12 and absolutely love it here!! The apartment manager Eva is the friendliest person I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with for living conditions, rent, etc… She’s been extremely helpful and understanding throughout my stay here. This has been a rough couple years for my family and I thank God to have found such an amazing apartment manager and complex… We moved from a 3bdrm house to a 2 bdrm apartment and surprisingly is spacious to hold all of our belongings.. neighbors have all been friendly, we all pretty much keep to ourselves and it works for us here . There has been a few times the laundry room was full or something wrong but Eva gets on the ball immediately every time and gets it fixed for us."

"I’ve been here since 2018 and I still love it here. There’s plenty of parking, and the neighborhood is superb. Our apartment (like any apartment duh) has had its few and far share of issues and those same issues were IMMEDIATELY addressed. Eva and her maintenance man CARE and you can feel it! I feel completely safe and sound here. I’ve recommended this apartment complex to many people and I will continue to recommend in the future!! ❤️"

"I have lived here for over 5 years and still love it. If you are looking for an affordable, clean place to live, I would highly recommend Timberlake. Also, the way a place is managed is important to me. Eva is really friendly and has always treated me fairly and politely. The same goes for Kurt, the maintenance man. Overall, Timberlake is a great place to call home."

"Timberlake apartments has several pros and cons. I was so excited when we moved into the complex nearly two and a half years ago. It was quiet, well kept, and lovely. It does have an excellent location directly between downtown Vandalia and Miller lane. The complex allows pets and allows you to paint whatever colors you like so long as they are painted back. This adds to the homey touch significantly! The units are affordable and fairly roomy. The community manager Eva is very nice and does well communicating with tenants. On the other hand, the clientele has become more and more unsavory, and we frequently have teenagers and thuggish young people hanging out in front of our door way. We have called the cops because it makes us uncomfortable. We're not really sure if all of them live in the building. The entire building also received a notice because some of them have been smoking cigarettes in the hallway and common areas. The hallways pretty constantly smells like marijuana and you can almost always hear people screaming at each other or their children in multiple other units. Groups of people tend to hang out in the parking lot at night as well. I work late hours, so it makes me nervous walking into the building alone. While there are laundry facilities on site, the washers and dryers in our building were nearly always broken, but there is a laundromat a short drive away. The fixtures and carpeting the complex is cheap--even with taking off shoes upon entering and carpet cleaning, the carpets stain easily and look unappealing. The laminate floor is scuff resistant but pulls up easily. Perhaps my least favorite part about Timberlake is their heinous 60 day notice policy for lease termination. You must know at least two months in advance if you want to renew your lease and even if you go month to month, must provide 60 days notice before vacating. It proved quite the struggle to find housing willing to wait two months for new tenants to move in, meaning simultaneous rents must be paid. Overall, Timberlake could be a good choice if you're on a budget and plan on staying for an extended period of time. Based on my experiences, I would not recommend for families with small children, or those seeking to lease another property after residing at Timberlake."
