We have lived at Lakeview Apartments for about 1.5 years and have enjoyed our first apartment together! Michael and Shelly in the office are fantastic and are always willing to help out. Not many maintenance issues, but the few we have had, it was fixed within 1 day! Maintenance crew is also great! Very friendly and trustworthy! Such a fantastic starter apartment and decently priced! Would recommend!
Also, in the summer, if you’re anything like me, they allow you to plant your own flowers as long as it’s not in the yard where it becomes an obstacle for the lawn mower. Here are my sunflowers from summer 2023! 🌻

I have lived at Lakeview for 15 months and it is really great. The maintenance always gets taken care of well and in a timely manner. The ladies in the office are always super helpful and nice. When I moved in everything was perfect. The washer and dryer are so convenient and the kitchen is awesome. I would still live here if not for a job out of town.
I was only able to live at lakeview for a short period of time but the management team here is absolutely amazing every time that I have had an issue with anything. Also the maintenance requests were always filled within 24 hours of any complaint that we had. As for the security I love knowing that every knight my vehicles and myself are safe due to someone always keeping an eye out for us. With that being said the experience I had here has been way better than any other apartment in the Kalamazoo area.

I've rented several times from Bender Management owned properties and they have all been 5 star. Of course, there are always improvements to be made with the property which I see proactive action.
A lot of the responsibility for how great an apartment complex is depends on the renters doing their part to make it a pleasant community. Leaving trash, slamming doors, unsupervised children, and ghetto dramas are items to be managed more than the property owners.

I have been living here for 6 months now and have had zero complaints. By far the best price in the area for the square footage of space you get plus all the amenities! I have a two bed/one bath – Large bedrooms, big open floor space as far as living room/dining room, and the front closet as well as the laundry room is a nice added space for any storage! Very pet friendly and respectful community. Maintenance has been great – I always see people on the grounds cleaning up and I've only had to get a light bulb and battery in the thermostat replaced and they were on it the day of. The front office management is always friendly and quick to help! Oh – and having the lake/trail in your backyard is a wonderful bonus to the property too. :)

I have lived here for four years in May. If I were to write this review 6 months after I first moved in I would have, without question, given it a zero, and the only reason I did not move out those years ago was because I was fresh out of college and trying to make it.
What changed my mind, was when the (insert explicative) manager retired. He was rude and condescending and did not seem to care about the issues that were occurring. Since he has left, the security around the complex has gotten better, they have resurfaced the parking lots around the complex and the grounds in general are nicer to walk around and enjoy when it isn't winter. Maintenance is also quick when there are issues that need to be addressed.
Hopefully in the spring, they will have the dog park fenced in and opened up, because I think it will make a more enjoyable experience for my pup.
One thing to remember is that this is an apartment complex, you are going hear your neighbors, you are going to run into issues with being able to get your "favorite" parking spot, and since this is a large complex there are going to be issues with the hallways being cleaned up. If your are looking for those commodities, maybe you should reconsider living here, but if your are looking for a warm environment and a spacious place to live consider coming here. It really is not as horrendous as the other reviews have posted.

The property has all of the amenities i want, for an affordable price. Management is working everyday to make the complex better any way they can. Mike at reception is always kind and helpful. I just renewed my lease for 2024 and im happy to be living her for another year. I recommend Lakeview Apartments if you want a good place to live without paying an arm and a leg.
