Lakewood Park Apartments

"Upon move in apartment was in complete filth. After cleaning company came it still smelled of cat urine. Carpet installers did not treat floor prior to placing new carpet and seams in the carpet were very noticeable. Fast forward we didn’t have use of our dishwasher for the first month due to a leak. When mentioned it still not being fixed I was not given notice of maintenance coming and he said walked in while asleep unannounced. Night shift RN. Then I had neighbor kids climbing up my balcony, no one picks up their dog waste, tenants use parking lot like a trash can. Spectrum is a bulk account deal. 4 months I never got my equipment, purchased my own. 5 1/2 months in maintenance delivered my equipment. Pool is lovely when there isn’t foul language and very loud in appropriate music being played. Not to mention arguing neighbors knocking on my door at 2 am. Let’s not forget the fact you cannot sit out on the balcony because you will in fact get a contact high from all your neighbors smoking pot all hours of the day. Should I keep going?! Ope can’t forget you can also hear neighbors coughing showering and having “special” time as well. Terrible experience!!"

"My wife and I lived in these apartments from July 2022 to August 2023. Overall we left satisfied with our stay. In this review I offer the good, the bad and the ugly. The GOOD: The grounds are beautiful and the apartments are price competitive. We leased a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartments in building 515 that overlooked the lake. The view was lovely and we spent many evenings just sitting in our balcony enjoying the warm summer nights. The apartments have been renovated to give them a refresh. These are not luxury apartments and you should not expect high end finishes. We perfectly understood this and felt that the rent matched the finishes/condition. The area around the apartments also merits mentioning because of how beautiful it is. We went on many walks around the neighborhood and the forested walkways just off of the apartments. There is a pool in the complex that is an absolute joy during the summer time. The area is always clean, maintained and cared for. We used it several times and loved it every time. The parking is very well handled and we never had to look outside of our own parking area to find a place to park. There are no additional charges for multiple cars (we had 2) and the people in the area were always respectful of each other's property. Not once was I afraid for my property leaving my car parked in the apartment. The apartments are pet friendly (we own a cat) and the fees are reasonable. A pet deposit is required an additional pet rent every month. The fees that we paid are on par with market rates and we didn't feel being taken advantage of for having a pet in our apartment. In building 515 we had a private foyer to all the apartment doors that faced the back of the building. This is a huge plus because it created space between the exterior and our front door. There was a polar vortex the winter that we were in the apartment and thanks to this separation of space we were able to keep a lot of the cold outside. I realize that not all apartments in the complex have this feature. The BAD: The apartment has a gym that is pretty sparse. In a pinch it will work for a quick workout, but if you're into fitness you're going to want to look for a dedicated gym nearby. To exit the area where the apartment is at you have to go through Lakeshore Drive, in which Henry Clay Highschool is also located. In the morning and when school gets out the traffic can be a bit overwhelming. The floors of our apartment were pretty uneven, to the point that we opted to not put our 75 inch TV on its natural stand over fear that it would tip over. Just walking around the apartment it is evident that the floors have been finished and refinished. Noise can also be an issue because sometimes it felt like the walls were paper thin. Unless you're on the 3rd floor (we weren't) you should expect to routinely hear people's footsteps above you. In preparation to move out I went to the main office on 3 occasions to ask for instructions or info that I should know. The office was being attended by trainees or interns, and they gave me incorrect information. It was not a huge deal, but it did create an additional hassle that we had to deal with during our move out - something that we did not need on an already stressful move. I didn't receive appropriate move-out instructions until after I had already moved out. Mr. Chase, the apartment manager, was always attentive on the few occasions that I interacted with him. Everyone needs a vacation from time to time, and I understand that he was out while I was moving out. I just wish the people left in the office were a bit more prepared. The UGLY: The only thing that I did not like about the apartment is the lack of a dedicated pantry (at least in our unit). We always had to have the kitchen counter full of food and knick knacks because there was no pantry. This is the first time in my life that I've lived without a pantry and I found it maddening. The best recommendation that I can give the apartment is that I would live in it again if life took me back to Lexington."

"While I didn't directly speak to any of the staff or members of the sales and leasing office, I just took a quick look around the property and I have to say, it appeared well kept, professionally and diligently maintained as there was no trash or even common things like cigarette butts on the ground or parking lots, one resident greeted me politely and complimented my hand bag , overall it seemed like a pleasent place."

"I’ve lived at Lakewood for more than 3 years and it’s been such a great experience all around. The staff is very friendly and the grounds and apartments are well kept. Since moving to this complex, I’ve lived in two different apartments and both have been wonderful. A bonus is that the pool is such a fun place to hang out during the summer. Highly recommend!"

"This is my first apartment I've gotten on my own, so I went into the whole process expecting to hit some bumps, but so far, Lakewood Park has been so helpful in walking me through it! I had what seemed like a million questions before I moved in, but the office staff answered everything thoroughly and patiently! I just moved in, and the apartment is great so far. So much space and it really feels like home! Quiet area and it really feels safe"
