Forestview Apartments

SUPER NOISY! All day I hear slamming doors!! 1dog barking from 7 am until 8 at night. Ridiculous! They asked me to go and check where the barking is coming from. ?REALLY? ISNT THAT YOUR JOB??? Management told me that between the hours of 8-10 there's nothing that they can do. I cannot do my work at home anymore. The apartments are nice though which kept me living here for this long. I've lived here for a couple of years and it still has not gotten better. Definetely not worth $2300.00 a month. I will be moving out at the end of my lease

Our family (husband, wife, toddler) relocated to another state last month (June 2021). Prior to this we lived at Forestview for the past four years. This place has provided one of the best apartment LIVING experiences we have had thus far. However, it has been by far the worst MOVE OUT experience. We were charged almost $400 as a move out bill for carpet cleaning, apartment cleaning, wall repair, and blinds replacement. Although we cleaned the apartment (as we have always done in other apartments) it was not sufficient for Forestview. They sent pictures of areas with things such as a few breadcrumbs left in the bottom drawer of the oven, a little lint on the dryer door, and water stains on the bathroom faucets, etc., saying these required them to pay for “professional cleaning” services. In the end, they refused to recall or reduce the move out bill they charged us. I attached a few of the pictures they sent us from their inspection after we had moved out. This has never happened to us before. Although one may likely enjoy living there, my advice to anyone considering Forestview is to be prepared to pay hundreds of dollars when moving out. The only way to avoid a move out bill is to hire professional cleaners because no DIY cleaning will satisfy Forestview. A friend who used to live there and moved out a while before me said she had a similar experience and left Forestview very upset because of the surprise (over $1000) move out bill. Practically, it appears that one may need to pay for 1-2 days at a hotel or live elsewhere ahead of the move out day, and have one’s professional cleaners clean the apartment during that time prior to Forestview’s inspection. I had hoped to leave a 5-star review for Forestview, but this unfair move out experience has left our family with significant unexpected disappointment and expense with this place that we once proudly called home. Renter take heed!

I'm glad I chose Forestview. My kids said it's a cozy place to stay. My family has been living here less than 3 months and so far satisfied and have peace of mind. Alex is always prompt on taking care of our maintenance requests. With the recent snow storm, it was a mess but Forestview team made every effort to help residents here. They might not satisfied everyone but did their part. We have assigned parking space but it's not Carl or Lisha's fault if someone park at your space, it's the people who are stubborn and doesn't want to pay extra parking and doesn't care if they're taking someone's spot. Not to sugar coat but the apartment management are not robots, they can't just drop what they're doing first and do what resident/s want them to do right away, there's a process to it unless it's emergency. They don't have everything under control. They are not here to babysit residents but to make sure everyone lives comfortably. Kudos to Forestview Team.

I have been living here for more than 6 months now and I love it! As the name states, my new home has a view of the forest. The parking is awesome, because each unit has assigned parking unlike my previous apartment where there was NO ASSIGNED PARKING SPOTS and everyone had to fend for themselves. And NO VISITOR PARKING EITHER at my previous apartment - it was a nightmare. At Forestview Apts., you are guaranteed a parking spot when you come home from work. How relaxing and peaceful is that?! Absolutely wonderful. The grounds are well maintained with a very large picnic park area. The staff are eager to help you with your needs and each holiday season strive to maintain good community/resident relations by planning fun holiday activities. Essex property management does everything online now. This is standard with all apartment complexes nowadays. You can even pay your rent from your cell phone. It makes everything much more efficient. As for car thefts, if you leave items and bags in plain view in your vehicle, chances are much greater for thieves to break into your car and steal. Thank you wonderful staff for my peaceful home. I am pleased to be living here!
