  • More Helpful Maintenance from Chris

    February 7, 2025
    After my annual apartment inspection (prior to lease renewal), Chris came to my apartment to take care of an outlet that needed a minor repair and a closet door that did not work properly. Chris took off his shoes prior to walking around. I didn't expect that but appreciated it. He repaired my outlet quickly AND checked outlets that work by a light switch to make sure they operated. He also fixed an annoying closet door that did not close. I really liked it that he answered questions and ...
    explained the doors and outlets to me. He made me feel that it was okay to call maintenance any time and ask questions.

    April 25, 2024
    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

    April 6, 2024
    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

    March 28, 2024
    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!

  • Amazing Maintenance & Customer Service

    February 16, 2024
    I've been at Drake's Pond for almost a year and had our first maintenance call and was stressed and worried about my shower not stopping. The office receptionist was amazing and had Kyle a technician out to our apartment in less than 15 mins. Kyle completely replaced our shower fixture and cleaned up amazingly afterwards. I would definitely recommend coming to Drake's Pond, they value their tenants.

  • Great Moving Experience!

    October 25, 2023
    With a small window to move from jobs and the inability to take an in-person tour, the staff at Drakes Pond was incredibly helpful in sharing the information I needed to make my move! Susan was of great assistance in guiding me from the rental application all the way to my completed move. The property is well-kept, and the apartments have everything you need. If anyone is looking to move to Kalamazoo, Susan at Drakes Pond is kind and resourceful!

    My wife and I have been here at Drake's Pond for a little over a year now, and we couldn't be happier. Staff are friendly and helpful. Maintenance is prompt, and are happy to help you with your issues. Special shout out to Alex for helping my wife jump a friend's car the other day!
