What we found

Markham earns consistently high marks for maintenance responsiveness-staff like Andre, Dray, and the team of Chris, Aaron, and Pete tackle issues same-day or next-morning-and the property itself attracts longtime residents who value the townhome layout and Lakeline location near shopping and the lake. Management's recent push to install EV chargers, remove traditional dumpsters, and replace them with a single compactor at the property's far edge has soured the experience for many; residents now face fines for trash left out and struggle with an overflowing, often-broken compactor, and the fee-heavy billing has prompted accusations of nickel-and-diming.

Staff turnover aside (Stacy's return was celebrated), the day-to-day living experience hinges on management's approach to enforcement and infrastructure choices rather than the units themselves.

Praised for
  • responsive maintenance staff
  • well-maintained property and units
  • helpful and friendly staff
  • convenient Lakeline location
  • pool and amenity upgrades
Watch-outs
  • excessive and surprise fees
  • inadequate trash/compactor system
  • reduced parking for EV chargers
  • threats of fines

Best for: Pet owners and professionals valuing quick maintenance response and townhome layout.
Think twice if: Management's recent infrastructure changes (single compactor, EV charger parking, fee policies) have frustrated residents; verify parking and trash logistics before signing.

FAQ

How quickly does maintenance respond to work orders?
Same-day or next-morning response is typical; residents report Dray arrived the day after submitting a work order, and others praise Andre and the team for expedient fixes.
Is this community pet-friendly?
Yes; residents call it a 'dog community' and describe staff like Stacy engaging warmly with pets during community time.
Are there parking spaces for EV charging?
EV chargers are available, but recent installation has reduced overall parking capacity; verify availability before leasing if you own an electric vehicle.

The Maris

The Maris impresses on design and initial move-in, with leasing staff Jeffrey, Elyse, Helen, and maintenance team Eric and Erwy earning consistent praise for their professionalism. However, the community faces serious security gaps: a broken garage gate that sat unfixed for months, multiple vehicle thefts and break-ins, and a maintenance worker who entered the wrong unit unannounced. Residents feel unsafe despite promised on-site security they rarely see. Complaints extend to operations: unauthorized tows despite proper registration, the Fetch package system causing delays and theft, hallway cameras absent despite resident requests, and bills that don't match the value delivered. Parking fees ($350 tow charges, extra monthly dues) and extra costs for basics like key cards (additional $30 each) leave residents frustrated. The property is beautiful, but management responsiveness to core safety and security issues has not matched the price or brand promise.

New management has turned things around for many residents, with faster maintenance response and a cleaner property, though a vocal segment reports ongoing noise, trash, and security lapses. The leasing team (Jaiden, Chrissa, Charlotte) earns consistent praise for patience and attentiveness. Recent five-star reviews credit visible improvements in the pool and common areas, but earlier complaints about rude staff, broken gate access, and months-long AC outages reveal a rocky transition period that left some tenants frustrated.

Leasing staff earn consistent praise for warmth and professionalism, and units themselves are stylish with solid amenities. Management's failure to enforce lease rules on noise and smoking creates frustration for tenants who document problems for months without resolution. Move-out fees draw complaints, and some residents report missing packages with limited recourse.
