What we found

Most residents praise the clean, green spaces and staff responsiveness, with repeat mentions of Shielyn (Assistant Community Manager) making leasing and move-in stand out. Maintenance responds quickly, amenities are well-kept, and the neighborhood feels safe and convenient for three-year residents.

However, consistent complaints surface around pest control delays and infestation, overnight commercial truck noise facing the street, and unexplained rent hikes month-to-month. Security gaps (no cameras, theft incidents) and occasional staff rudeness undercut the otherwise positive experience.

  • responsive staff
  • clean and well-maintained spaces
  • friendly and knowledgeable leasing team
  • efficient maintenance and move-in process
  • strong amenities and landscaping
Watch-outs
  • pest control delays and infestation issues
  • street noise from adjacent commercial traffic
  • inconsistent pricing and rent increases
  • limited security and theft concerns
  • rude office staff during key return

Best for: Families and professionals seeking well-maintained spaces with responsive staff and convenient location.

Five-star reviewers highlight fast maintenance crews and welcoming leasing staff, particularly praising the maintenance team's responsiveness and the quiet feel of the community. However, long-term residents paint a starkly different picture: dirty common areas, non-functional gate security, recurring maintenance problems never fully resolved, hidden move-out charges without documentation, and pricing that does not match the property's actual condition. Management communication breaks down frequently with staff turnover, and residents report pursuing formal remedies over undisclosed fees. The core tension is upkeep versus cost. New visitors and short-term residents experience good leasing interactions and strong maintenance response times. Residents approaching lease renewal or move-out encounter inconsistent pricing practices, filthy staircases and parking lots, homeless individuals on the property, mail theft, vehicle break-ins, unruly pool parties with non-residents, and a leasing office unwilling to engage on disputes after move-out.

Lakewood draws long-term residents who praise staff friendliness and spacious layouts, but reviews reveal serious gaps in security, maintenance responsiveness, and upkeep. Residents report vehicle break-ins, missing parking cameras, a two-year resident's list of unfixed appliances and loose wiring, and common-area filth including used condoms and defecation in the pool. Amenities like the dog park and pool remain frequently closed or damaged. Some praise recent leasing staff; others point to slow responses on core issues.

Lantower splits sharply: some residents praise the front-desk team and maintenance speed, but far more report serious problems. Pest control fails despite requests, security lapses lead to car theft and broken windows, and the thin-walled units amplify neighbor noise from parties and motorcycle repairs. Move-out disputes over deposits are common, and the office often ignores emails or enters units unannounced.
