The Villas at Northstar Apartamentos

I've lived in a LOT of apartments... this one is hands down my favorite apartment I've ever lived in.
I love my fireplace, I use it every night, and my bill has never been over $100 for gas and electric (I'm in a second floor one bedroom).
The bedroom size is AMAZING, and the layout in general is just so comfortable.
It feels like home and I highly recommend this apartment for anyone wanting a quiet community (not to mention the amenities available, especially the pool and grill area).
I... have a large storage unit off my balcony for things like my Christmas tree that take up space, so that is a game changer.
It's so comfortable here. 5/5 stars! Lee mas

The apartments here are so nice and private, we really enjoyed having a view of the lake and trees. We moved here after living at a disastrous complex on Packard and we are so much happier. This place has definitely all got the basics covered but it also has a nice new dog park and they added pelotons to the gym. The parking spots are spacious and you get your own covered parking. The newly renovated ones are very modern.

We have applied to this apartment and paid a total $450 application fee. However, since we paid the application fee, the local leasing office never answered the phone and no one replied our email. We have tried multiple phone calls and followed-up the emails multiple times, however, it was really HARD to connect the local leasing office.
In the end, we decided not to move to this place anymore. HOWEVER, BE REMEMBER, the application fee $450 is non-refundable!!!!!!!
I don't know why there are so... many excellent reviews for this apartment. Lee mas

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice, affordable place to live. The area is quite and close to all the essentials (Kroger, Gas, Restaurants, Gyms, Hiking trails, etc.). The amenities they offer are great (big pool, tennis courts, playground, dog park and gym even with a Peloton!) The staff are all very friendly and the maintenance team is great and always complete any requests in a timely manner. The apartments themselves are spacious and clean with big closets, fireplaces, and nice... patios. Really enjoy living here and just renewed our lease for another year!

I live at Orion and it is the perfect location for my life as a graduate student. It’s right on the bus route, has a gym and pool, and the leasing staff is always so helpful! Small and quiet community great for small families and students.
