Stay away

It is the worst place you can ever move in with your family. If you are 20, maybe it’s fine, if you value your quality life, look elsewhere where. Rude Customer Service, especially DelAnn, always with attitude and never helpful. Any question you have, she doesn’t know, or says she will do it and never does it. Nobody returns your emails or phone calls. Manager Courtney is always “out” and never returns any phone calls. If you have a leak, wait 3 weeks for someone to come in and look at it and... another 2 weeks to come and fix it. Parties at the pool at 2-3 am, screaming and drinking. Constant smoking cigarettes & weed and no one does anything about it, even when it’s against the lease. You can smell the cigarette smoke inside of your place and they won’t do anything about it. It’s the worst place. STAY AWAY. Apartments never cleaned prior moving in and Xfinity will take a month to set up the internet.

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.
