Briarwood Terrace Apartments

there,
APARTMENTS NOT RECOMMENDED.
I have lived here for almost 2 years. I had issues with mice in my apartment KITCHEN, but the apartment is not expected to give any compensation for that as it has caused inconvenience to residents. HOWEVER, the management is now charging me $300+ to pay for carpet replacement in such unprecedented times of COVID, when the carpet is in clear, untorn condition, & is definitely easily cleanable with simple carpet cleaning and their special tools. Management has… kept the deposit of $300 and charging me $300+ on top of it for carpet. management, asked me to talk to accounts department. The accounts department, said, they’d send me the pictures and quotation received from carpet cleaner, but I have still not
received it since past 4 days. I also also have a word with some previous residents, and have received similar feedback. Read More

Let me start with this, I have been in USA from last 3 years moved a lot for my work from Seattle, Arkansas, Texas and last destined to Chicago in Briarwood. I have never seen such a helpful, supportive, understanding, ground to earth, smart, professional, dedicated person like SAMANATHA.
wondering who is Samantha she was my leasing agent at the community office who helped me in real hard situation. I am being sent back to my home country as Visa has expired due to which I was in a bad… situation for leaving the country, moving, selling and I got weak financially as well. I had a bigger problem as I was breaking my lease earlier and I had to re rent or pay my 12 month lease that was a lot of money.... She tried to help me in many ways to get this apartment re rented. The day she found a person who would re rent she appeared to me as an Angel sent by God to help me out in my disturbed situation. She helped me in many ways but still that was strictly professional help binding with the management policies. I praise her a lot and will definitely not forget a person like her in my entire life. My wife is also thankful to her.
She is the BEST. God bless you Samantha.... Love you Read More

This place is absolutely terrible. Seriously, I beg you to take your hard earned money elsewhere because this place is literally the worst. The property managers treat you like crap and do not keep you informed of anything. They intrigue you with inexpensive rent and then charge you up the whazoo when it comes time to leave. (and trust me, you will want to leave)

The apartments arn't in great condition and they don't do much upkeep....actually, no upkeep at all.

Concerns Only :
All wood - noisy every time, just imagine if your sleep get disturbed due to someone simply walk in their house. The apartment is in the middle of roads all the sides, there will be noise from the road also if you open the windows.

Rent - They will attract you with offers and many fake reductions, but believe me, the next lease renewal would be a compensation for all... The rent they charge is not worth for the place and features of the apartment. more importantly There is no… good rated schools in the same city. You may find better apartments nearby like in Arlington heights for 50-100 bugs extra with excellent rated schools.

Management: can't comment, never expect a customer care. "You live there if you want" is the attitude you can expect. They do whatever they think, they change the laundry system as they wish, you loose money no notice nothing... excellent management...

Security: At your own risk, no CCTV.... I will not tell what else is not...

Parking - yes a lot of parking space, anyone can come and park here, you may be parking 1 mile away from your home but still you get a parking..

Water - Lead is common in Chicago, Here nothing less... remember you must be extra care with kids.

Overall: You spend a lot for such a cheep apartment with nothing importantly good.. You again spend a lot once you decide to move out in the form of "fine" for using their apartments... lol (they tell you the carpets are dirty, their painting is dull etc...)

Pros :
Super markets and few companies are nearby. Read More
