The property is just awesome. The staff really cares about you, from the front desk, all the way to management. Pool is great, staff is super friendly and original. If you love free food, drinks, coffee and been treated with kindness, this is the place for you to live at. I have experienced in the past places where after you move in, they do not care about you. At Forest Village, they continue to do so, like the office checking on me after a maintenance request, just putting things like candy on my door, having pizza parties and just feeling welcomed at their office. Love the pool, all the great treats and events they have for pets too. It is quiet, nice and love the convenience of having a shuttle that would take me back and forward to campus without having to pay any extra weird fee. Living there was a really pleasant experience for me, after a hard day as a grad student, I could always count on going home and get disconnected from all.

The apartments are wonderful set ups, spacious enough for two roommates to live comfortably. I feel that the price for one apartment is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the pet amenities, shuttle to campus, and the safe location. We had a mix up when we first moved in and had to switch apartments, the staff were amazing handling the change and were very helpful in getting us the right keys and fixing some issues we had due to the change. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an apartment. The only downside is that the walls are very thin so you constantly hear your neighbors, luckily we have great neighbors so it's not a deal breaker for us!
