Royal Oak Apartments

"It was a cute cottage like apartment with a wonderful courtyard and barbecue close to Virginia Lake and Marketon , it was very quaint and we had free Wi-Fi"

"The apartment manager was really nice and was always responsive when there were problems."

"The rent is affordable and the apartments are comfortable and spacious. The courtyard view from your apartment would be wonderful and the neighborhood is not very noisy. It is located at a comfortable distance for grocery stores, restaurants and bus lines. Having said that, the apartment was built in the 60s. So don't expect it to be great. There are some minor issues but it is hard to complain for the rent. The apartment manager also manages other properties; so there is no front office. But if you need the manager for something she is always there. The apartment is run very efficiently and the stars are mainly for that. During summer the lawn was mowed and watered periodically, during fall leaves were cleared regularly and in winter snow is taken care of. As for the apartments themselves, things (closet, doors, bathroom fittings etc) might look old, but nothing has stopped working till now. Overall, this is not a place to be avoided. Okay Updates - The rent increased and we moved out; The only good thing about the property was the manager and she turned out to be a nightmare after we moved out. I spent a full day in cleaning the apartment and she chose to charge me for "cleaning" and sent it to collections in spite of having my new address and phone number. She stopped answering my phone calls after I moved out. Really awful place, really awful rent, really awful management."

"This place is a dump, takes months for anything to get fixed even after calling the manager several times, not to mention the place is full on junkies and dealers, if you like the smell of marijuana or being offered drugs in the front courtyard be my guest. So many nicer places for the $750 they charge."
