The Lake Apartments

choice I made myself and does not bother me specifically, but I know it irritates others. Because of the extremely close proximity of the skatepark, break-ins are constant. At least 3 times a month, people from the skatepark have come into the building and would smoke in the stairway, which would cause the building's main fire alarm to go off. Almost no residents leave the building during these alarms. The only way this can be turned off is by the fire department, who has to come (in two massive trucks by the way). They've become so used to this address, that they're taking longer and longer each time to respond. I fear that if there is an actual fire taking place residents wouldn't know unless it's too late. And because of the constant break-ins, package theft is almost guaranteed if it sits out in the mailroom for no more than an hour. Management's solution to this problem was to put up a sign, essentially telling residents to not leave the door open or not let others into the building behind them. Basically, they leave it up to residents to take care of management's problems. They are incredibly slow to fix anything in this building. The walls in this building are insanely thin so don't expect any sort of privacy. In my bedroom, which shares a wall with a neighbor's bedroom, I've been woken up by late-night visitors on a constant basis. In my living room, which shares a wall with another neighbor's living room, I can hear literally every argument or conversation they have.

insulation. It's off of Temple Ave. so you don't hear the traffic as we're on a quiet street. The property is so beautiful, well-kept, clean and organized. With the hot weather, we're so lucky to have air conditioning, so awesome! The Owners, Managers and people on site are great and are very responsive. They are really nice to work with. I looked at many wonderful apartments, Bunker Hill, Lofts in the city and I feel lucky and blessed to end up here. It's pretty super! LB
