Lakes Of Valparaiso is a wonderful community place to walk your dog tennis court basketball workout facility Wonderful pool good community for families especially for those with animals. They take care of any maintenance request very quickly and to your satisfaction I have had no complaints except for the fact that if I Had one thing that I would ask is that they would be all non-smoking, but that's it

I have enjoyed living in this complex. The amenities are well maintained and the rent has been very reasonable so far. I hope to renew my lease when the time comes. The office staff is very prompt and responds quickly and professionally to any questions/concerns I have.

I would highly recommend Lakes of Valparaiso. It's a quiet community and full of things to do inside and out. Beautiful grounds and they even have a play place for Fido. Maintenance is awesome. If there's an emergency in the middle of night in subzero temperatures these folks will be there. Hats off to maintenance and Lakes of Valparaiso

I moved here from Michigan. The office staff was very helpful in making the move easy and fast. I am very happy with my apartment, its location and all of the amenities the complex has to offer especially the pool.

It's been great. It is definitely a bit steep rent-wise, but I feel the value and amenities offered make it worth it. Neighbors are respectful and friendly, and the staff are amazing. The social events are inclusive and fun..

Great apartment. I love that it feels more like a community than an apartment complex. Lots of great amenities, and staff is very responsive to problems and/or concerns. The atmosphere feels very relaxing, especially now that it is summer!

LOV is great. Absolutely recommend this community. I moved here when my marriage ended, and the level of support from LOV staff has been amazing. I plan to renew in October, and I'm looking forward to another year here.

We have not lived here long enough to provide adequate feedback, so I do not feel at liberty to answer this question effectively. Therefore, if at a future time I have to fill out this survey, I will give my comments then.

Community has been great. Staff events have been fun and welcoming. Love the amenities that are provided to us. This will be the first year to try the pool, so looking forward to that. Moving from Chicago to here has been great for the piece and quiet of city life.

Rent hikes wveycyear without new value provided. Poorly planned/boring events, zero community created. Incompetent maintenance scheduling treatments to the road and grass without considering residents. Incredibly disappointed, and it's no wonder there are empty units.

Office peeps are very approachable. Maintenance team gets the job done quick. Luxury feel in the unit - from the materials used to the quality and build. We have a peaceful community. It's also quiet here and we love it.

The Lakes Of Valparaiso was a very friendly community and extremely clean. It is a very private place with a very prompt and friendly staff. Thank you again for all you do. Take a look if you're thinking about the Valpo commmunity .

The Lakes is a great apartment community overall. The staff is always incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. I really don't have much to complain about as far as the condition and quality of the community. The apartments aren't brand new anymore though and it doesn't feel worth such a high premium on rent. This is my second time living at The Lakes, and I understood the premium when the community was still pretty new. But rent rates have increased at a higher rate than other very comparable apartment communities in the city. Just a small one bedroom apartment rents for the same price as, if not more than, the mortgage on a multi-bed multi-bath house. I understand you get maintenance-free living and amenities, but it still just feels like you don't get the value you'd expect for the price. Aside from that, the experience living at The Lakes has been great both times I've lived here.

I love the community; I really can't wait to be less busy at work to enjoy the amenities more. My son does enjoy the gym since it is open 24/7 and always very clean for him. I wish the rest of the amenities were opened longer times so I can enjoy it too with my son, as the pool table and back side.
