lived here not even one month yet. toilet issues, never answer the phone. never return my calls. i would like new carpet, i ask over and over if someone would come and look...still waiting. not a happy camper.

I am not happy with Lakeside at all! We have lived here almost 3 years. The first two were amazing! Great staff, great rates for our rent, but then they all left.

We just got put under new management. They advertise like this is a good thing! it not. trust me. We have had an issue with our apartment for months we go to the office about it and they say "we will put in a work order" 2 weeks go by and it still isn't fixed, we go back "we will put in a work order" over it. I will live with the broken bathroom.... So then we get a renewal notice for our rent. They want me to pay $800 a month!!!!! When I moved in it was $725.00 then it went up to $745.00 fine, but $800....NOT!

They advertise on Facebook "Buy, Sell and Trade" Free application fee, First months rent paid, No this, No that. Now I have TRASH yes I mean TRASH for neighbors. "look what the cat dragged in" is how I feel every single time we get a new neighbor. We have a neighbor that now thinks it is okay to smoke INSIDE. I have kids. nothing about you deciding to enjoy a cigarette is okay.

The lake and the HUGE backyard are just about the only positive parts of this complex these days.

I cant wait to get out of the apartment life. they all suck in one way or another but this one is slowly climbing up there with Teal Run, If you know anything about apartments in Battle Creek you know that is NOT a positive comment.

The lady in the front office is just the icing on the cake. She has nothing on the skills that the old staff had. She is rude and short and never accomplishes what she says she will. It is jaw dropping how fast this complex has gone down hill.

And the user below is correct!!! The Sewage smells is beyond nasty. It almost ties in perfectly with the smell of Cigarette smoke when you turn on your heat or air.

The 5 Star reviews on here on obviously from the staff and the owners of this establishment. Cause it is nowhere that great. In fact every time I see someone prospecting these apartments I want to go up to them and tell them to run. Please please for your sake don't. I was told that I couldn't see my apartment that I was to move into because the person was still living there. Which was untrue. I was only able to see the model they put together which is how they get you. Then to find out my apartment doesn't have all of the same features and I'm not able to paint in order to make it feel more like home. The dishwasher broke within the first month and it was suppose to be new. The water here taste horrible, where I finally had to buy a filter. There is an odd smell of sewage. The hallways look like they haven't been cleaned since the 1980's. Also I was told that there is free heat but my electric bill was much higher this month and I don't see them advertising that anymore. Isn't that illegal??? Bait and switch?? How is it free when its electric? Also I would not sign a lease here. The first time in my life I came on hard times because I lost my job and I tried to find out how much it would be to get out of the lease. It would cost over 4K with only a few months left. That's more than if I just kept paying the rent. I asked if I could switch to a less costly model and was told no. Can we work out a payment plan..no. So I've never had a blemish on my credit report or rental history and they wont work with me at all. God forbid that any of these people ever come upon hard times. This is my 7th rental I've had and I've never heard anything like that. Its usually this months rent, next months rent and you lose your deposit. So around 2K. Oh and the equipment in the gym is horrible. Its great looking at first glance but the only thing that actually works is the treadmill. That was one of the main reasons I moved here!! Overall out of all the places I've lived in 3 different states. This is the worse.

Since moving in it seems that there is always something going on outside trying to beautify the place.... I agree with this idea for the summer I want people to drive by my apartment complex and say hey I wanna live there... when friends walk in my apartment and see what was done they wanna stay :) I will tell you I would rather the rent be 1000=1200 that keeps much of the problems out... I did have an apartment in Jackson almost identical that I paid 980 mo for it was a few years newer but almost identical.
