A friendly, helpful service is always provided. I live here alone and as a result, I really appreciate the efforts made to create a community feel to the complex. I love the events that are planned every month. They really add to my feelings of belonging to this community.

    The apartment homes are newly built with good amenities. Office staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Friendly neighbors. Pretty quiet neighborhood. I would definitely recommend these apartment homes.

      Staff is friendly and always extremely helpful! When there is ever a problem they make sure to take care of it right away. Definitely made the right choice when choosing where to move! If anyone is looking for a place to live I'd recommend Lakes of Valparaiso.

        Not a bad place to live if you are older. If you are young and want to have friends over late into the weekend you can expect to get the cops called. I think they should gear certain buildings towards the younger crowd.

          I just moved in within the past couple of weeks, so far very pleased with the staff and service. The location is extremely convenient and fits both my personal and professional needs. Everything is well maintained and the grounds offer a plethora of entertainment and remote-work options.

              Beautiful complex. The pool and patio area are beautiful. We love the clubhouse area and the activities they have often for residents. We love that the snow is cleared quickly and walks are shoveled and salted.

                Great apartment with very nice amenities. Very clean and very friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to rent. Close to everything. Been very happy over past year living here. Just build basketball courts with dog park.

                  In my opinion, the location is perfect: very close to highways and shopping, but still a country feel. The amenities, and quality and layout of the apartments are outstanding. The office and maintenance staff are friendly, professional, and responsive.

                    I found the apt dark, needed a screen door on patio, I'm concerned you use a lot of pesticides and are not environment-friendly. Snow removal for outside parking poor during those last heavy snowfalls.

                      I'm new and have had no time due to work to spend in or around the community. I look forward to getting to know my neighbor and having some quality time with friends and staff. From what I have seen Valparaiso is an exceptional area with all the shopping close by.

                        Very upscale high quality interiors. Quiet safe community. Prices below comparable units in the Chicago land area. Very well organized, tenants are high income individuals, most of them professionals. Highly recommend.

                          We've had a great experience living here. The office staff and maintenance team are always helpful and take care of any problems right away. The gym, pool, clubhouse and other areas are well maintained and clean. The units themselves are large and comfortable. With all the amenities, I think it is a great value living here.

                            Several instances of mold found in new construction. Office staff are rude and incompetent. Poor construction quality and high level of interior noise. Conference room is available for residents but has no WiFi access and staff are unwilling to assist with issues

Maintenance is very quick and will respond just as fast. Also tons of options for apartments. I used to live in the Masters and this by far is the best experience I've had.

                                              We love this place. We are building a slow motion house and have enjoyed living here as much as any previous home. Carrie & her staff do a great job with everything we've ever needed which isn't much because things are anticipated here and don't need remedial attention.

                                                Nice courteous staff. Makes it feel like home. Doesn't feel like a typical apartment community with all the amenities. Having everything new and well kept is definitely a bonus. Very safe and any problems are felt with efficiently.
