Review for Village Green Apartments

At first glance, the apartment seems decent for the cost per month. It's fairly clean (livable) on the inside but slightly outdated. However, I urge you to never rent from any apartment complex owned by Midwest Realty Management. These apartments include Village Green, Mapledale, and Country Village.

First, you should be aware of their winter clause. They don't allow you so move out during the months of November, December, January, and February. This applies even if you have gone month to month after your first years lease. If you leave anytime during those 4 months, they try to bill you for lost rent, which could possibly amount to over $2,000.00.

Secondly, maintence is terrible! There was an ongoing hot water heater problem that lasted over 9 months. I had to either take freezing cold showers, or not shower at all on any given day. Also, it typically took over a week for anyone to fix things in my apartment, such as my garbabe disposal, leaking sink, intercom, and plowing the parking stalls.

Finally, the safety in the apartment complex is well below acceptable. There are police in the parking lots on a consistant basis (I witnessed a police officer run after someone with his gun drawn). The "secured" building doors do not latch tightly during the winter, leaving access to anyone off the street. I was always scared walking from my car to my apartment building, especially at night.

I would not recommend renting from Village Green. In the 2 years I lived there, I have never been pleased with the management and highly recommed finding living arrangements with another landlord.
