The Park on 13 Apartments - Royal Oak, MI

Place is poorly managed, cheaply made, falsely advertised, and overall not worth the money.

Lived here a few months ago before they evicted the entire building. New same for old company, they will not answer your calls and give you random charges. Dont live here

This place is Woodward north with the name changed. Stay away from this new company. They'll charge your rent wrong every month, dont answer calls or maintenance requests and shrug when you do get a hold of them

Woodward North is a very simple apartment complex. They offer only the basics. Some people complain there are no pools (which means no extra noise during the summer months) and no fitness center (Planet Fitness Royal Oak is less than a 5 minute drive from the Complex for $10 a month). If you are looking for these amenities in an apartment complex, there are plenty of others in the area that offer them but you will pay for it with much higher rent.

The units are very small, even in the... 2-bedroom units. If you own a lot of stuff, you will more than likely feel cramped. I think this complex was originally built with young college types in mind who owned little to no furniture. Closets are super small and there is no extra storage space available.

The apartment building is old. Management does a respectable job with making improvements to the property to try and keep it somewhat up-to-date. Elevators are super scary. Very small and old. May hold up to three normal sized people comfortably. Maintenance is excellent. All requests are responded to within 24 hours. You pay all utilities. If you are looking for an apartment where everything is included in the monthly rent payment, this is not the place for you.

PROS:
-Rent is affordable for this area.
-Community is mostly quiet.
-Surrounded by plenty of shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, Beaumont Hospital.
-Cats are welcome (you don't have to be disturbed by dogs barking all night).
-Management responds to maintenance requests quickly

CONS:
-It's an old building.
-Apartment units are very small compared to other more modern buildings.
-Elevators are old, slow and small. Only two elevators per building. No freight elevators for moving in and out. The elevators will only hold maybe up to 4 or 5 large boxes at a time. Good luck in getting it to hold large pieces of furniture. If you own a lot of stuff, you are in for an exhausting move.
-No extra storage area.
-Insulation is not the best. Heat easily seeps in from door and windows. Units get very hot during the summer months. If you are using the air conditioning, your electric bill will be super high. Lee mas

Worked with Penny on getting a one bedroom, you couldn't ask for a nicer woman who walks you through everything and has the answer to all your questions! This is the perfect place if your looking for a quaint little apartment and don't want to pay a fortune. Not very large inside but nicely updated and very clean.
