Parkwood Village Apartments

Here is my official review, and I mean this sincerely. That apartment was the worst decision. The water was disgusting, the neighbors were mean, the carbon monoxide nearly killed us several times, and the squirrels lived in the walls and woke us up all the time. Our heat didn’t work approximately 6 times, it was dark, dated, smelled bad, had black mold, constant power outages, and maintenance never replaced lightbulbs or detectors in common areas. The constant chirp of a fire detector outside... our door was so much fun!! The trees ruined my car because of the acorns and sap that dripped on it. I constantly was having to clean it up. You do not have assigned parking, so neighbors and their guests that do not live there would always take your parking space.
I feel like everyone should see this and never rent from them!
I additionally think it's important that you know we are working professionals. We paid our rent on time every month for three years and eight months. I have a master's degree, and my fiance is the director of his department. Unlike our neighbors, we never had a party. They woke us up with loud music and partying many times. We dealt with the smell of marijuana throughout our place too many times to count.
The manager in the office changed so many times I could not keep up. They, however, were all fairly consistently rude and unhelpful. One of them even said to me once, "trust me; you would never want my job". You would think that when we asked to negotiate the final few months of our lease agreement because we had finally been able to save enough to buy our home that they would have been kind and met us at least halfway, but they did not. In fact, they made us pay for this apartment for an additional 4 months, and we did not even live in it. So essentially, we spent $4,000.00 for an empty apartment. Lee mas

S. Parkwood Apartment complex is a jewel surrounded and buried in a sea of other/newer cold "cookie cutter" apartments. I have lived here since 11/15. Due to health issues, I could no longer live alone in my 200 yr old home.
My daughter found these apartments. Unlike the "cookie cutter" apartments these apartments have large private brick covered patios with wide ledges to put your plants on. AND....your "fur people" are welcome! How many apartments welcome your animals? NONE! The staff... and maintenance crew are GREAT! Problems are handled immediately. The grounds are like a forest with all kinds of wildlife, including wild turkeys. There are hiking paths to wander on. These apartments were built in the late 60's/early 70's (when builders knew how to build) but they are clean, large rooms and pleasant. Check them out! Lee mas

We've lived on property for two years. Yes the water pressure is almost always lacking, yes the water gets shut off for the lines to be flushed (there is well water here) and the water does leave heavy deposits on dishes unless you hand wash. Yes the heating doesn't really reach the kitchen all that well but it does the rest of the place. They HAD one poor Office Manager earlier 2019, but she is gone and they now have someone very capable & friendly. The maintenance staff do come quickly and if... they're not sure how to get at a problem right off the bat, they will stick it out and fix it in the end. These building are older and some things that should be accessible for quick fixing were not built into the places at its inception so some problems might take them longer to fix. This maintenance team in my opinion, is the best we've had in this area. The super has been nothing but effective and kind and I don't know if its the same man, but the person that wrote the super is an alcoholic - a sorry attempt at scaring people away and a shameful one at that.

I don't know about the laundry room but my guess is one person has an axe to grind because they had a theft one time so they went to the extreme of calling it a "breeding ground" for theft. My neighbor uses it and has not had a problem in 2 years.

The snow removal here is really quite good and we've had some pretty severe snow storms since we've been on property. If you ask for a bucket of salt to be left near your building's door, they will provide.

The woodsy atmosphere of this complex is inviting and peaceful. We are close to 87, so at night you might hear some cars, and we are close to some train tracks because you'll definitely hear them throughout the night but I got used to it and don't even notice them anymore.

They provide bags for people to use for clean up after their dogs. Their pet deposit & rent is the most reasonable in the area. Whenever maintenance has to come in, they are kind to the pets.

Overall, if you need a decent roof over your head and a quiet environment for one of the best price points in this area then Parkwood is your place. They have many different floorplans so there is something that will fit you. Lee mas

I would not lay my dog to rest here. Awful staff the super is alcoholic. Everything is done half way and cheaply. My window has been broken over 1 year still not repaired. Not to mention the rodents eating at your car. The ticks are unbearable my dog is always covered. The water pressure sucks. The carpets are dirty and smelly. Please look else wear.!
