First off, my review is only based on my own experience, it's not to negate anyone else's, good or bad.
That said, the experience I've had with Bishop Hill was very pleasant from start to finish. I moved out of my previous house at the end of September 2017, and didn't move into my new home until November 2017, so I had to secure a short term lease (which wasn't an easy task).
I settled on Bishop Hill because the location was very convenient, and that it seemed to be a well-maintained community. Carlie, my rep, quickly responded to my many questions and offered me a three month lease (I wanted month-to-month, but I guess 3 months is better than 12!).
One of the first questions I asked was about any potential pest problems in the units. I've never had that problem in any home I've lived in, so that was a major concern of mine. They didn't guarantee I wouldn't have any, but did tell me that maintenance would respond quickly if there were any such issues.
Fortunately, my unit was pest free the entire time I was there! The apartment was completely modernized, and I really felt I spent a couple of months in a nice hotel. I did have one issue...I came home one day and all my electricity was shut off! True to their word though, I called Debbie, the manager, and Lou came over and fixed the problem, literally within 5 minutes.
I can't thank Carlie, Wanda, and Debbie enough for the experience I've had there. It was my first apartment experience in over 15 years (hopefully my last one), but if I had to do it again, I would go back to Bishop Hill without hesitation. Their staff is a rare combination of friendly and professional! read more
