Great place with lots of fishing holes. Why we were there. Up and coming neighborhood, up beat and trendy shops, and a very clean area. Love how Ankney has turned all of the water run off areas into parks or fishing places.

I was a resident from 2020 until 2023. The staff at Prairie Lakes was always very responsive and friendly. The buildings' interior were well kept and designed. It has been one of the few apartment locations I've lived and almost never heard the neighbors through the walls (upstair neighbors stomping around can't be helped sometimes). The location was also hard to beat for amenities - right next to the High Trestle Trail, within biking distance of the Farmers Market, multiple ponds nearby to fish at, and plenty of sidewalks to explore. Was sad to go, but the 2 bed 2 bath became too pricy for my income without a roommate.
