Sun Lake & Sun Lake Woods Apartments

"My husband and I overall enjoyed our time at Sun Lake Woods in our 1 bedroom apartment. We felt that it was the most cost effective apartment complex we could find in the area and was at a very competitive price when we left. Our apartment did not have the all fancy granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, or a new washer and dryer like newer complexes have, but everything was very reasonable for the price and we had little complaints about what we were walking into. We liked being in Sun Lake Woods rather than across the street at Sun Lake for the close proximity to all the amenities including the pool, gym, mail room, billiards room, trail access, underground garage, and leasing office. Nothing was super updated (wait until you see the carpet in the common spaces!), but for the price it was all very reasonable. The best feature for us was the guest room that was available for $65 a night, which our family used on many occasions. I haven't heard of other apartment buildings offering a room for guests like this one. Over the two years we lived at Sun Lake Woods, we ran into our fair share of maintenance issues and it was frustrating to deal with in the moment. One day our microwave touchpad/buttons quit working and it took a month for a new one to "come in", so we were out of a working microwave for that time. Our dryer was another issue as it would leave rust stains on clothes when they got stuck in a certain spot and that issue was never resolved. Then our outdoor patio was essentially wasted space due to the amount of bugs that would get in and dirt that would fall through the wood beams of our upstairs neighbors' space. The amount of cleaning and upkeep of our patio was too much for us to continue using the space. Really all the screens and wood around the patio areas could use updating. I felt that I was in a safe area and liked that packages were kept in a locked mail room that I could access with my fob. Never any mail or package issues came up. Also, the parking lot could accommodate for guests so I never had to worry about a friend getting towed or having trouble finding a spot. The employees of the leasing office were always very kind and caring, they truly seem to care about their work and have put in the extra thoughts to make this apartment a great place to live. So overall, this is a great budget-friendly apartment, but shouldn't be compared to any luxury apartment complexes that you may find in the area, and their prices should reflect that."

"Fantastic apartments that are well taken care of for a reasonable price considering the area. Downtown Chaska is a great place and it is close to many shops, stores, restaurants, etc. Management is really on top of things and does a great job of addressing concerns and keeping up on maintenance."

"I have really enjoyed living here. Management is BY FAR the best I've ever had in an apartment. Repairs are done quickly, everyone is nice but minds their own business, and units are in pretty good shape. I like the neighborhood and the access to walking paths."

"Management is good and they are quick to fix things. But dont move here unless you enjoy smelling other peoples cigarettes like all the time! Apparently you can smoke on your patio but can’t have a grill. Oh and people smoke in their apartments as well so the hallways always stink. So basically if you dont like fresh air...this piece of hell is perfect for you."

"Management is rude which was enough for us to move out. They asked inappropriate questions about my relationship and "where it was going". Not their business. The units are nice and the complex was quiet. If it wasn't for the AWFUL excuse for "management" we would have stayed."
