    My experience has been amazing so far! The community is safe and well maintained. It's visually pleasing to look at and great for entertaining guest! I also enjoy the outdoor entertainment area: large pool, large outdoor TV and grilling area!

      The apartments are spectacular. There has been a previous tenant in the apartment that I rented but the apartment looked brand new when I moved in. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. They even left a little welcome gift from a local chocolate shop. Everything within the complex is within walking distance, including the clubhouse where the fitness center and pool are located.

        So far it's amazing-staff and maintenance are super nice and prompt and helpful. The apartments are beautiful. I hope it stays that way as time goes on and they don't raise the rent too much year to year. Great location by car but not really close bus service in case of bad weather. Diverse and more professional residents.

          Changed a lightbulb in my kitchen while I was gone on vacation. Not sure how to fill this with 200 words, but I'll try. Maybe change this part to not have a minimum as how much can you write about changing a lightbulb?? :)

            The Lakes of Valpo is a nice community that is a close drive to everything in Valpo. The amenities are great. The wildlife is plentiful. We've seen a ton of turtles, blue heron, ducks, and geese. It can be a little pricey but it's a nice community that is worth the money.

              This is a great community. The apartment is beautiful and the staff is very helpful. The only downside I have found is the Dish network. I have a 3 bedroom apartment and only allowed to have the service in the livingroom and master bedroom.

                  Everyone was so professional and helpful. The staff was friendly, responded quickly to questions and made sure we had everything necessary upon moving in. The amenities we have come at an incredible value, making the Lakes of Valparaiso the obvious choice for quality apartment living in Northwest Indiana.

                      One of the best apartment complexes in the area, top notch facilities. Really fantastic pool, sports, dog park areas as well as fantastic clubhouse. Lots of other residents have dogs and residents are friendly. Would recommend.

                          Great apartment and amenities. Office staff is very responsive to maintenance issues. Would like to see rent be lower considering it's just as much as a mortgage, if not more, but it's one of the best apartment communities in Valpo.

                            The staff a stuck trying to maintain a community that was built too quickly and that has too many residents to be able to offer a level of service required for the amount of rent paid. No one is at fault, the condition just doesn't match the expense.

                                      Overall it had been enjoyable. The gym could be better. But all the other facilities are seriously amazing. Rent is pricey. But you get a lot of great things for the price. If my rent was cheaper, I'd renew for sure. Down side is the cost to have a pet here is outrageous. With a deposit of $500 and $50 per pet added on. It's way too much. Other places have the pet cost basically cut in half.

                                        Not exactly what I expected. We are infected with young parents and singles who have no regard for other people. The apartments are noisy and neighbors have no control over their kids. Now that the pool is open you really get to see how blatantly everyone disregards the rules. I regret moving here.
