Hawks Prairie

Save yourself and your wallet and do NOT move here. The amount of issues we have dealt with since moving here is absolutely insane. 3 appliances needed to be replaced within 6 months of moving in. In the first week of moving in we had a leak through one of our lights (scary!!) and needed a new washing machine. Moved in with 3 of our screens broken/with holes in them. Have been dealing with ant infestations, non-stop gnats in the house, and had birds living in our bathroom fan for about a month. We were told nothing could be done about the birds because they are nationally protected so we simply had to live with the incessant chirping and being down to 1 bathroom instead of 2 for about a month when the real issue here is that the outside vent covers should have been properly taken care of to prevent this issue in the first place. Major mold/mildew issue in the bathroom even with having the bathroom window open 24/7 (enjoy using the bathroom during the cold season). Toilet has broken twice within a few weeks and leaked all over the bathroom floor and onto the carpet. The kids that live in the complex will touch and fold the side view mirrors of your cars and there are never any adults/parents watching them. Kitchen counters peel and there is nothing the office will or supposedly is even able to do anything about, so enjoy potential pieces of your counter in your food. Kitchen cabinets are simply painted over with white paint, so all the drawers stick and the paint is constantly chipping, which looks so bad. Rent prices are astronomical and we are currently paying the price of a 3 bedroom, but living in a 2 bedroom (a $300 difference!). We have had to have maintenance come to take care of issues probably a dozen times in 6 months…. Absolutely unacceptable. Oh and good luck getting your mail actually delivered to your mailbox and packages delivered to your home, because a majority of the time they are not. Packages may be delivered to your front door, they could be delivered to your back door (through your patio), or they may be delivered to someone else's home (who knows?!). We hear a lot of excuses from the staff here about all of the issues and they may show up for maintenance issues unannounced and bring other people with them without informing you.

I have enjoyed living at these apartments. We moved in August 2021. The management is quick to get maintenance issues resolved. We reported a broken lock on a Sunday night and John came by and fixed it the next day. It's a great neighborhood we hope to stay in for a while.

I have had a great experience since moving here in February. The property manager, Trina, was in constant communication throughout our entire application process and relocating from across the country! She did her absolute best to make sure everything was in line for our move in date despite all the obstacles with COVID. We were also on a bit of a time crunch as we were staying in an air bnb at the time and were hoping to move in early, which she made happen. Trina has answered emails and phone calls in a timely manner and my family and I appreciate all the work she is putting in to make the community and our home more up to date. This is an older community and it is definitely in need of a face lift but you can beat the price and the location! We have yet to have any issues and plan to be here for as long as we can!
