All the interior aspects of Waterchase are great, clubhouse, workout, in unit washer/dryer. However, Waterchase has long boasted of their beautiful outside surrounding ponds/grounds. This is not as the Waterchase Management Team says. There are A LOT of waterfowl surrounding the area. While seeing the waterfowl mingling in the ponds can be pleasant, even in the winter, THEY LEAVE A MESS! From my perspective, Waterchase staff does little to keep the walkways along the ponds clear from waterfowl feces. If you have a pet you would like to walk, and would enjoy running around the ponds, DON'T BE FOOLED. There is duck/geese/swan crap littering the walkways throughout the year that is not tended too. If it is cleaned at all, it is usually by tenants who have the walkout patios (I have seen someone cleaning their immediate area and walkway before). This fecal mess left by the waterfowl is disgusting as it will appear in random LARGE piles around the ponds. If you absolutely must live here, do not be tempted by the "beautiful" ponds and walkout patio 1st floor apartments due to the described waterfowl problem.

Its not bad but it hasn't been the best. I do love the washer and dryer in the apartment and its pretty quiet. The garages are nice to if I could ever park in mine becasue someone was always parked in front of it and the office wasn't much help with that. Also the door on our apartment building has been broken for about half the time we have been here and living on the third floor and having to walk down to let everyone in isn't very fun. Lastly the staff is nothing spectacular.

In unit laundry, pet friendly, one stall garage, dishwasher, large balcony, this place has all of my "must haves". When I first signed the lease there were maintenance issues that needed fixing/replacing and I was assured they would be handled by the time I moved in over a week later and they were not. When a maintenance worker did show up he was very attentive and mentioned that he had been on vacation and the other employees did not know how to handle certain things and that is why things were not fixed. I hope the maintenance crew is all up to speed now so that when that one guy goes on a vacation the work does not stop with his absence.

That it's quiet and relaxing, with a friendly community and an active and helpful staff.

This community was close to the highway yet felt like it was away in the woods. The staff is incredibly friendly and there are always community events going on. Maintenance is speedy with any repairs and neighbors are eager to help. The redone office area is great for kids and adults alike who need to use the internet or getaway by the pool. Plus you can hike to Lake Michigan from trails right behind the office! I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment community to anyone looking for a safe area, with great amenities.

It feels like living in an exclusive community outside of the city but it is very close to many stores and restaurants. my experience has been a great one and i'm glad to call Lake Forest Apartments home.

I’m so comfortable in my apartment. I never hear any noise from my neighbors or their pets. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and I’m really glad that I made a decision to live there.

I would tell them that they are great apartments. We love the pool, the trails and ponds, the fireplace, and the staff. The grounds are beautiful throughout the year. This is the second time we have lived in Lake Forest, and I plan on living there until I move out of the area. A big drawback is the lack of recycling. Hauling giant containers of recyclables to Cork St. is a giant pain. Also, the carpet was in bad shape when we moved in, and we were surprised it was never replaced prior to renting the apartment. It would also be nice to have a garden area available to each resident, as with U of M family housing.

I would tell them that the apartments are very nice and modern. I feel safe and don't worry about who my neighbors are. In addition, when every I have a problem, maintenance takes care of it in a timely matter. I love dogs and like that we can have them, but this year I have seen many owners not clean up after their pets and I think something needs to take place to take of this. I have seen other apartments providind pet friendly cleaning areas throughtout the complex and it may be worth checking into. Overall, I am happy living here and would recommend it to others.
