Shorewood Apartments

"Pleasant environment and best rents compared to market around the area. Management and maintenance is always accessible. Quiet neighborhood with ample space for parking. If there's a play area or community recreation center for kids, it would have been great."

"I happened to read a few reviews about Shorewood and felt the need to write one. I moved out last summer because my family was growing. We ended up buying a house. People only seem to remember the bad. I lived there for 5 years and management has improved greatly. There was an issue when the new company DCI, had bought it but the new manager helped us out greatly. It’s apartment living people, if you don’t like having neighbors then buy your own home. Things break they fix it, you have an issue with a neighbor they deal with it. There isn’t assigned parking so if you get home late you’ll have to walk some ways to your car but that’s expected. It was a nice area for family’s because we all felt safe with our kids playing outside. The manager let us go short term for a few months while we waited on the sale of our home. It was $150 additional to rent short term which is reasonable. Like any other place the rent does increase but they negotiate with you. They also let us use our deposit towards our final month. I’ve lived in a number of apartments throughout my life and Shorewood is on the top of the list."

"I have stayed here at Shorewood for 3 .5 years.I have had a good stay for most of my initial stay. Since the new managers have come in things have changed in last couple of years.Kyle the manager here promised me to be very cooperative during my exit and after staying here for 3.5 years I don't expect that they simply rob my deposit. I can understand that there might be some maintenance required but a complete month's rent. That's not fair. After depositing the keys, mangers were not ready to come over the phone and only when I disabled the caller id, came on the phone. Without a conversation my deposit was out rightly refused which is so unacceptable. JUST STAY AWAY !!"

"We moved to Shorewood apartment last year June. Below are my honest reviews about this community. Pros: 1. Beautiful community. 2. Apartments are Well maintained. 3. Safe place. Didn’t find any issues for last 1 year. Cons: 1. Expensive rent for this location($1425 for townhouse apartment). Not worth for what you are paying. 2. No kids Play area and No Gym. Poor Kids play on the street and I find it very dangerous. 3. Very very bad lease termination policy. Two months notice period plus two months rent. If anyone wants to terminate their lease within 2 weeks you end up paying 4 months rent in total which will be $5700 or more 4. “Month on month” lease requires $100 more on top of market rent. Approx $1575 per month. They require 2 months notice period if you want to move out. Not sure why would they need 2 months notice period for a month on month lease. Absolutely ridiculous. 5. When we moved into the apartment they didn’t clean the carpets. It had lots and lots of dog hairs. We requested them to at least vacuum the apartment so that we can sleep. Next day they replaced the carpet for living room and 1 bedroom. They didn’t even clean the 2nd bedroom."

"I remember living here back in the mid '90s, when it was called Stonybrook Apartments. The townhouses are great themselves, some are 2 floors some are 1. I remember the townhouses with 2 floors came with 2 beds, 1.5 baths, dishwasher, also the 1st floor bath had washer and dryer connections. You could also use the general laundry room in the back of the pool. I'm not sure if they are still pet friendly, they at least were back when I lived there. Well actually, let me clarify our pet experience there. The last yearish living there they had new management, a bitter middle aged woman who was very rude and highly vain. She seemed to be more in favor of cats then dogs. I don't know if this woman is still management, but she forced my family to give our small dog away because of 1 small false complaint, and we pleaded it was not true to her. My family ended up moving in '99 because of her and she was raising the rent too high. The school district though is very good. I feel like my review though may no matter, as I lived there so long ago."
