The Gates of Deer Grove Apartment Homes

"The worst residential complex!!! they never clean the snow this photo is 3 days after the snowfall they never clean the carpets, it’s so awful. I can’t believe that I paid 2000$ a month to live like this. I'm already counting the days to move"

"Thin walls, you can hear sneezing, snoring and casual conversations. The floors are warped and creaky so you can hear any kind of movement. Neighbors in my building are super disrespectful and rude, they play their movies and music incredibly loud. They don’t discipline their kids so you’ve got kids running around with their dogs playing fetch for hours. You would think they would wanna be neighborly and have some awareness for others but when you try to talk to your neighbor, they ignore you and are even louder. Packages mostly always get stolen (someone stole DoorDash food delivery too). Terrible smelling hallways, even when they carpet clean, it makes it worse. Laundry is expensive and most of the time, machines are broken or worn down. This is an old building. Lead paint in the bathroom walls so make sure to ask about it too. Every year, rent goes up at least 5% too. I used to pay $1400 and now it’s up to $1600 with utilities in just 2 years for a 1 bedroom."

"If I could give 0 stars, I would. This apartment complex is INCREDIBLY overpriced for the terrible conditions you have to live in. The walls are like paper, if you live on the first or second floor - have fun listening to every little step, water faucet, and toilet flush above you. If you're lucky enough to have a patio, you can't actually put anything on it as far as personalization goes (anything but chairs is basically a no-go). While you're paying out the wazoo and for some reason still don't have in-unit washer/dryer units, $6 for an entire laundry cycle every time... No storage space, doors fall off the railings all the time, everything is covered in LAYERS of paint. We don't even have ceiling lights!! We had to buy our own lights/lamps for the living room and we are paying over 2k for the terrible apartment. Oh, and dead bugs all along the hallway right outside the rooms. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for cheaper. Anything is better than this place..."

"Moved in July and have had nothing but problems since I moved in. This place is dirty and old and not kept up like promised. Not only is rent pretty high but you have to pay for laundry if ur on first floor which is about $5 for wash and dry. Hallways are smelly and old carpet that’s never washed. Front entrance have bugs and cobwebs all over and have not been cleaned once since I’ve been here. Apartment was dirty when i moved in. Looked like they were in it for maybe 5 minutes. All a/c vents and heating vents were FILTHY with crud dust and leaves. Carpets were barely vacuumed, blinds were legit dirty and needed to be cleaned. Oven was broken and maintenance tried arguing with me about it just being old and needs to take time to heat up but in reality it’s probably from 1970 because it doesn’t even have a preheat. My kitchen cabinets were and are missing shelves. The beautiful brick wall they display in pictures had cobwebs that I needed to clean. The walls here are so thin I can legit here everything my neighbor is doing including him snoring at night. I wouldn’t recommend anybody ever living here especially if you’re not a smoker! Another thing promised and yet I see and smell cigarettes all over campus. Super disappointed living here can’t wait for my lease to be up!"

"It was 'love at first sight' with this property. We were hunting for rentals in July 2019 and came across this one, we never had to look at any other property after this! As a current resident and having completed 1 year of my stay here, me and my wife are still in awe of this place. From sparkling swimming pool to well managed central lawns (not to mention the lovely fountains in the lakes), it brings us closer to nature. Occasionally, we did have to raise a few service requests for fixing things, but that is part and parcel of living in the community. Peter, the maintenance guy is very helpful and friendly. I did my rental apartment tour with Ricardo (who is no longer with Gates of Deer Grove) and the way he presented the property to us, it felt like home from Day 1. Sharon always provides timely help whenever required. The only downside is that you need to provide 60 days of notice to the property management before vacating. We have seen 30-45 days elsewhere. I am still giving 5 stars because the pros far outweigh the cons. I know I will miss this property, when I move somewhere else "
