This review may be a little biased because my husband and I rented an apartment here after years of…read moreowning a home and selling it and then looking for land to build. If you've never been a home owner then you may not miss the privacy like we did in contrast to renting. Okay...the PROS at Woodland Reserve Apts. -- The apartments are very nice. They are well kept, well maintained, and pretty decent sized for the rent you pay. The community is fairly tame, not a lot of "riff raff" and we found the management to be responsive and helpful when there was an issue. The very first night we moved in we had an issue with loud non-stop noises above us. We gave it some time (a few weeks) and then complained to the manager. He quickly dealt with it which we appreciated. When a new tenant moved in upstairs it sounded like she was wearing wooden clogs and doing the "River Dance" across her floors.

Woodsprings suites in Ankeny is by far the one that makes us feel the most at home! Especially most recently as I was facing a life threatening medical condition and needed several surgeries at the University of Iowa.

It's where I felt the safest and most like "home" the rooms are clean, it's quiet, and the staff is SO friendly and accommodating! I truly can say enough amazing things!!!

This Redwood at this location has varied size homes and all have attached garages. Unfortunately…read morethe room for 2 normal sized vehicles in their garages are tight. Decent room sizes and walk in closets for the rent paid. The configuration of the floor plan on 1 particular end unit is odd to me where placement of living room furniture has to butt up or close to the kitchen counter. Otherwise all floor plans are similar as in like a storage elongated container - garage door to mud room door with front side door leading to rooms and guest bathroom and out to the sliding door to the small square footage patio. Some units have kitchen windows facing the street but most share a common wall with their neighbors. Same is true of the bedrooms. You get a window at each bedroom. I call this type of housing multiple ranch style duplexes. You pay for everything. There is no basement to go to during tornado season. Lots of pet owners and a mix of races and ages rent here. There are poop bag stations everywhere but at times, we get inconsiderate dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs. The floors are manufactured tiled and the older units are scuffed up. I would like to see these floorings replaced but especially the worn carpets in the bedrooms. They are very flat from years of abuse. My dog love the different scent on these carpets. They dont provide washers and dryers which you can rent from them for $50 per month each. Im sure that has risen. I do like their high ceiling but to some renters, that is excess electric bill to pay. There is no option when it comes to your internet provider here. They have a few locations in Iowa, N Carolina and Illinois when you rent from Redwood. Plenty of nearby gas stations to choose from. The library, grocery stores, eateries, doctors and veterinarians and a movie theatre are close by. So is the police station and fire-station. Unfortunately like most corporations, they too have a high turnover of office and maintenance staff. They do try to have small get to know gatherings sporadically throughout the year. They do organize a neighborhood garage sale during a summer month but i stopped participating 2years ago. This past summer was their 2nd year. There isnt much sales traffic when this happens. Sometimes you get inconsiderate neighbors who allow the slamming of kitchen cupboard, side and front doors. I had a couple whose husband rumble his big motorcycle from the garage before taking off. He also worked on vintage cars in the garage. People do forget that they share common walls and everything they do has a dominoe effect when in a rental complex. The maintenance staff is prompt and professional. The past office staff is professional, cordial and can be helpful, depending on the situation given. Be mindful of their office hours. They do have open door self tours on some units. I will miss my independence and this location when i leave here next year.

When it snows less than 2 inches, they will be there to shovel the 'nothing' off of your steps at 6AM. I'm sorry - not actually shoveling, more like SCRAPING the nothing off the stairs. (Don't need an alarm clock on those days, because they definitely make it known they are out there) When it snows more than 2 inches, and you have to swim through the drifts between the garages, they are nowhere to be found - I end up shoveling and laying salt myself. Either ALWAYS shovel and lay salt or NEVER. I don't care either way. Am I paying more for this service that is provided only part of the time? "bundled" into my rent? 2. Pest inspection/spray - a guy sprays twice a year in the kitchen and bathroom. They only give you 2 days notice for that. The note states "no need to prepare your apartment in any way" YEAH OK - any normal person is going to want to clean their apartment or at least pick up things that are personal items that they don't want some random person to see. That causes a headache. 1 week notice would be a lot nicer. 3. NEIGHBOR WITH LARGE MEDICAL VAN. This is probably the most annoying thing of all over the last 4 years - one of the people who live near me between 1700 - 1730 or whatever, drives a Huge Mercy Medical van.. if you have seen these apartments and garages, you will know they are 'staggered' and his garage is one that happens to 'stagger out' so it is closer to the parking area along the sidewalk.. He parks his van there making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get your vehicle through that parking lot, or let's just hope you're not parked right next to or behind him because good luck getting out. At one point there were 2 of those vans in 2 different driveways. talk about jam-packed. Things that large should be required to park along the curb or in the street. Thanks.
