I am one to typically be very honest about my apartment reviews because when I do my research before moving, the first thing I look at is reviews and I know others do the same, and if I can share my experience to help another person like me, I will. No matter if it's negative or positive. That being said, I have been living at Emerald Lakes for almost a year and this is the first apartment in my many years of renting in Greenwood that I am *happily* resigning my lease! The maintenance team and office staff are truly fantastic and friendly, and have worked hard to make my experience comfortable, safe, and exciting. I have not experienced any mold, flooding, or nasty bug issues, like roaches or bedbugs (and those are deal-breakers for me because of past experiences!), and of the few minor issues I've had this year, each one was addressed quickly and fixed within an hour or two... Including when I accidentally locked my garage door opener in the garage on a *Sunday*! I can say that the Emerald Lakes Greenwood team goes above and beyond every time, including when planning social events for residents which is something I have never experienced with past apartments. The unit itself is excellent, clean, and quiet, and my building neighbors are great about keeping each others packages safe. I love to see neighbors out fishing, walking, riding bikes, attending events, swimming at the pool, sitting on their patios, etc. because it means they're comfortable enough to LIVE. And although some might disagree, I love that the geese feel comfortable enough to have their armies of babies, and I will watch them from my patio any chance I get. Just like anywhere you go in the spring time, as long as you're respectful and keep your distance, you will have no problems with them. I'd rather an apartment keep protected animals around because I can trust that nothing nefarious is happening to them. And the little babies are so cute to watch in the mornings! I'm so thankful to have found this place and will recommend it to everyone I can! read more
