I lived at Prairie Tree Apartments for about 2 years. I moved from the other side of the state and the leasing agent was accommodating to my roommate and I in terms of responsiveness, and paperwork. Our experiencing living here has been great. The office staff was friendly and maintenance completed repairs in a timely manner, usually next day. It is pet friendly and the grounds are kept well. The apartment itself was modern. I highly recommend leasing with Praire Tree Apartments if you are searching for a nice place to live.
