Great start!

My partner and I recently relocated from Florida to Kalamazoo. Amidst the numerous stresses of moving, securing an apartment at Drake’s Pond was not one of them. DelAnn was incredibly helpful throughout the process, making everything incredibly smooth and effortless.

More Helpful Maintenance from Chris

After my annual apartment inspection (prior to lease renewal), Chris came to my apartment to take care of an outlet that needed a minor repair and a closet door that did not work properly. Chris took off his shoes prior to walking around. I didn't expect that but appreciated it. He repaired my outlet quickly AND checked outlets that work by a light switch to make sure they operated. He also fixed an annoying closet door that did not close. I really liked it that he answered questions and... explained the doors and outlets to me. He made me feel that it was okay to call maintenance any time and ask questions.

Amazing staff!

The staff at Drake Pond always go above and beyond. From responding to maintenance requests quickly, to helping us carry a new desk upstairs, we've always felt taken care of. Julianne from the leasing office also helped us find another unit within our budget when we otherwise would have needed to move. Looking forward to making more memories at Drakes Pond!

Amazing Customer Service

Went into looking for the perfect apartment thinking it would take months of tours and appointments before finding the right one. Explored Drakes Pond once and knew it was the perfect spot. DelAnn showed great customer service by showing a list of available options and taking the time to follow up with me on questions I had. Definitely looking forward my stay here.
