Review

The overall impression from these experiences is that Lakeside Manor (and Lakeside Village) operates with a remarkably friendly and responsive management ethos. Several tenants repeatedly highlight a management team that feels more like a service-oriented partner than a distant administrator. The apartments are described as well kept, with maintenance teams that are not only quick to respond but proactive in addressing what's wrong, whether in the unit or across the property. One tenant captured a common thread: as long as residents communicate openly and honestly, the team genuinely works with them and often goes beyond the call of duty to ensure things are right. This spirit of collaboration seems to be a core strength, shaping many residents' perceptions of living there.

The experience for the office and management staff is often framed as "heroic" and deeply supportive. A standout moment comes from a studio resident who admired the office team for sprinting through a mountain of paperwork - sorting, editing, correcting, and approving everything needed to move forward. Other reviews sing the praises of individuals like Cynda and Adi (and even Addy in a separate note), who are remembered not just for competence but for genuine care and remarkable responsiveness. The sentiment that the office crew is "awesome," "very courteous and helpful," and "amazing" appears repeatedly, underscoring a culture in which front-d desk staff are viewed as integral to a positive living experience.

Beyond management, the physical aspects of the property receive strong praise. The apartments themselves are described as spotless and convenient, with ample storage and closets. On-site laundry facilities are highlighted as clean and easy to use, and the grounds are repeatedly painted as inviting - large trees, generous grass areas, and a property that is "well taken care of." The combination of a tidy living space and a pleasant outdoor environment contributes to a sense of comfort and pride in the community, making it easy for residents to say they would highly recommend the place.

Maintenance is a recurring highlight, with specific individuals named for their hard work and reliability. A maintenance team that includes Greg and Ron is praised for being quick to address issues while remaining friendly and kind. Shout-outs to Everett (or Everet) emphasize his knowledge and effectiveness in fixing problems, while a February update even notes Joseph's dedication to practical tasks like plowing between cars during bad weather. The sentiment across many reviews is that maintenance is not just done - it is done well, thoughtfully, and with a willingness to go the extra mile to keep residents comfortable and safe.

Long-term occupancy and ongoing satisfaction emerge as themes as well. Several tenants describe living there for years, noting renovations that have kept the property modern and appealing. The sense that management and maintenance work together to meet residents' needs is repeatedly connected to the overall stability and quality of living. One reviewer, reflecting on multiple years and changes, credits not only the individual staff members but the adjacency of good management as the reason why the complex remains a strong, well-kept place to call home. This long-view perspective underscores a belief that the property continues to evolve for the better, with renovations and a positive teamwork attitude contributing to continued satisfaction.

Not every review is unblemished, however. One caller raises a serious concern about discrimination and profiling, claiming that the apartments discriminate against people with disabilities and engage in racial profiling. This contrasts sharply with the otherwise overwhelmingly positive feedback and serves as a pointed reminder that experiences can vary widely among residents and that issues of fairness and inclusion are critical topics for the community. Additionally, there are concerns about structural policies that some residents view as restrictive, such as the prohibition on window air conditioners, which becomes particularly contentious during extreme heat. In that sense, while the property is frequently praised for its attentiveness and care, there are real criticisms about how certain rules and procedures are enforced or perceived by tenants.

Lastly, several reviews emphasize accessibility, location, and practicality as key positives. For people with disabilities or seniors, the property is noted for being well located for shopping and transit, recently renovated, and managed by a team that is accommodating and professional. The neighborly atmosphere is frequently highlighted - the kind of environment where most residents feel welcomed, supported, and comfortable asking for help. Even when issues arise, the prevailing tone among many tenants is one of appreciation for a responsive, able-bodied staff that works hard to keep the community clean, safe, and friendly.

Taken together, the reviews depict a community where strong management and a capable maintenance team are central to most residents' positive experiences. The majority voice is one of gratitude for staff members who anticipate needs, resolve problems quickly, and maintain a pleasant living environment. While there are valid concerns raised by a minority regarding discrimination and certain policy constraints, the common thread remains: Lakeside Manor and Lakeside Village are places where many residents feel seen, supported, and proud to call home, thanks to a dedicated team that consistently aims to meet - often exceed - the expectations of those who live there.
