Lakota Lake Apartments

"Lived here for 4 years, constantly have issues with other tenants. The property is super outdated, our A/c units barely blow cold air and we have been forced to get 2 portable AC units to make summers bearable to live in. In the winter the building is actually hotter than in the summer because the heaters have 2 settings on/off. You put in for a maintenance request and it is frequently just entered as "done" without anyone ever coming to your apartment. They charge you for the "in home" Internet regardless of if you are using it or not. Not to mention the constant water shut offs, 2-3 every month. Just not a great place to live avoid if possible."

"I currently live here and would absolutely NOT recommend moving here. •My air conditioner didn’t work and constantly leaked all summer which caused my electricity bill to be 220$ a month for a 2 bedroom apartment (now that it’s winter it’s down to 80$). From the leaking there is now black mold all around my baseboards and iv sent in requests with maintenance and they don’t fix the leaking or the mold. They come but for 5 minutes then leave and consider the request fulfilled. •They force you to pay for their wi-fi (that doesn’t work) even if you opt-out and choose to get your own, your still required to pay for their wi-fi that doesn’t work. •The “clubhouse” they advertise for residents to use is now off limits and used as an employee break room. However, they still advertise to the public that a clubhouse is available for use. •The volleyball net was ripped and broken all summer. •When i hung my clothes in the closet the entire closet rack ripped out of the wall because they didn’t even install it into wall studs. —THE LIST COULD GO ON FOR PARAGRAPHS I haven’t been living here 6 months and I already deeply regret moving to Lakota Lakes. They do not have the best interest for their residents and that is blatantly clear after living here the short time that i have."

"Genuine and sincere warning: Do Not Live Here. I recently moved into a 2 bedroom unit at Lakota Lakes and very much wish that I had not. Nothing has gone right. The apartment was not ready to be lived in at the time of move in. No hot water in the shower, the fridge was unusable, the ac units were old and leaking, no blinds in the living room, the cabinets and utilities are old and dilapidated. Not to mention the strange chemical smell coming form multiple points within the unit. I have put in more maintenance requests than I weeks I have lived at Lakota Lakes. This does not include the requests that the leasing office had to put in on my behalf at the time of my move in, or said they would put in but there is no way of knowing if they did besides contacting them directly. Issues that were discussed at move in took weeks to complete if they were completed at all. They are currently requesting payment to fix an issue that was discussed during my move-in inspection. Even when the maintenance requests are responded to in a timely manner there is no way to know what the problem was, how it was dealt with or if the problem is solved. Just for the A/C unit in the master bedroom required 3 different requests to be fixed for a leak only to be replaced on the 4th visit due to a maintenance technician drilling a hole into the cooling coil a month prior. The leasing office has been less than helpful and closer to vindictive than empathetic about issues that have been out of my control, or that have existed before I even moved into the unit. If I could afford to get up and leave I would have left a month ago (two weeks into my lease). As a recent college grad I have lived at many different less than desirable apartments in the last 6 years but none have been as miserable to live in as Lakota Lakes. If you have other options, take them."

"AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! When their third story balconies fall apart mid air in the middle of the night and damage your property, they tell you to pay it and bring them the bill. After clearly stating they will cover the damages, I brought them the bill and they responded by telling me they do not cover any damages on the balconies. Insurance only pays when damages are over $500, so what now? They expect me to pay for something THEIR property damaged. Had anyone have been out there when it fell, they’d be seriously injured if not dead. I will be filing a report with health department because of this. They don’t care about your health, safety, or financial situation. Customer service is non-existent, they are the rudest managers/receptionists you will ever come across."

"While I was here, the complex went under new management and got completely renovated! The apartments are beautiful and the amenities are far beyond anything you will find anywhere else: dog park, swimming pool, community garden, community wifi lounge, exercise trail, and a priceless view of the lake."
