Stonehaven Apartments

So first of all - I'm a procrastinator to the nth degree. 2 years later and I'm getting to it.

We lived at Shelby Woods from 2017-2020. Initially, our first apartment was not a good experience because the old complex manager lied stating we were in a quiet area when we in fact right NEXT to the highway and it was anything but quiet. But then Sarah was the new complex manager and she was the blessing this place needed. She was so helpful in all the ways; found us a secluded area apartment (bc... we loved the area and didn't want to leave), she helped us out when neighbors doggos were a little too obnoxious, and if we had any other questions - she was always an e-mail away.

We do miss the wood floors and granite counters compared to what we have now. In todays market, it is a bang for your buck, and the area is safe and tidy. Lee mas

Pros:
•Has good features within house; kitchen, bathrooms, in house laundry.
•Safe community and located near a ton of parks and good schools.
•Has garage.
•parking is convenient for self and friends/family.
•management is on top of complaints/issues with apartments.

Cons:
•maintenance crew on site doesn't really know what's going on at times.
•Noisy, can either hear neighbours through the walls or the highway outside, can never have windows open.
•Get ready to haul everything up and down... stairs. A lot of the units are second story so you will be doing a lot of stairs.
•Outside isn't really taken care of anymore due to new ownership. They try to but there is trash from garbage cans and highway all the time. Noone picks up outside and lawn company does a poor job and misses a lot.
•You will be paying a lot in rent and utilities.
•you live right next to a swamp so summertime you will be swarmed if you are near it.
•People do not pick up after themselves here. Cigarette buds, broken glass at times, trash from bins can blow around when it's windy.
•poor job at taking care of snow in the winter or they overkill it and there are salt piles everywhere.

I would recommend if you are going to spend this much you might as well buy a condo or small house. It is convenient not having to do anything outside like lawn care or deal with snow. Don't expect much since this is still considered an apartment complex. Village green bought out the last owners and doesn't do as good of a job. Have lived here for 2 years. Lee mas

New management- raised rent by $325/mo. for that they trimmed the bushes and put down mulch. The walls are thin, the maint. staff favorite saying "can't do anything about that". The furnace is so loud that in the winter I have to turn off the heat to hear TV. No weedkiller, no spraying for mosquitos nor ticks - on a wetland-- so plenty of both. Lots of promises on what they are GOING to do but nothing being done.

I just moved to Michigan for work from Windsor Ontario, Canada. Sarah was helpful at getting me approved with a brand new US SSN, and was able to use my Canadian history to help with my approval process.

Moving in was a great experience, place was in great shape and move-in ready. Any very minor issues Jeff promptly addressed and they do professional work.

Sarah helped answer a lot of my questions, and being my first time living in the US from Canada, she helped make the transition easy with... new banks set up, and we had everything lined up ahead of time before I even moved in.

The property is great, I don't hear any of my neighbours and everyone around is friendly and courteous. Would highly recommend Lee mas

I just moved a week ago and I absolutely love my new place, I looked into many apartments and Condos before meeting with the staff at Shelby Woods North and I was not completely sold on everything that I was looking for, within the first few minutes of meeting with the staff here I knew that this is where I wanted to be, the property manager assisted me every step of the way with from patently going over all the floor plans to helping me transition all utilities, moving can be very stressful and... it really felt great to be welcomed to the new community, the property and Condos are beautify, the price for the amount of square footage is also great, I'm very happy to be apart of the community.
