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.

Beautiful Quiet Sanctuary

Let me start off with how beautiful this place is. I love the trees, tall and luscious conifer trees that stay green year round and are absolutely lovely during winter. I love having a cup of coffee with my blinds open, birds chirping. It’s amazing.

Secondly, the staff are INCREDIBLE!!! They are so caring and really work with you. I’ve had an amazing experience here and every time I interact with staff. Lori is so kind and helpful, Susan is always a pleasure to talk to and very resourceful, I...
loved working with my leasing agent, Colin who made my move-in smooth and welcoming. I remember them all by name because I care as a resident too.

Thirdly, the maintenance is wonderful too! Very quick and so helpful. Kyle is so funny and a hoot to talk to! He’s my go to in case I need a fix, another crew member came in one time, I didn’t catch his name but not only did he do an awesome job fixing my garbage disposal, he taught me how to fix it as well. As a 23 year old girl living on my own, life skills are so greatly appreciated!!

All in all, my experience at Drakes Pond has been phenomenal! 10/10, I renewed my lease as well because I love it so much! Thank you to everyone at DP! :)

Pleased and Current Resident

Just sharing a very positive and pleasant experience I’ve had living at Drakes Pond. It really gives me a peace of mind knowing that when maintenance is needed the service technicians are knowledgeable and fix things right the first time. Both Kyle and Chris F are outstanding they are pleasant with every interaction. Oh and although my dog barks at them she loves those two by the way. This complex as a whole has been absolutely wonderful to me personally. The office staff and maintenance team... truly have gone out of their way to accommodate me. Drake’s Pond will be my home for a while!
