So, before writing this review, I need to preface it with the fact that, prior to moving here to Gallery Place, I had always been a homeowner, never a renter. And, that I was transferred here to Jackson Michigan, by my employer, from a very high cost of living state. So, my views and opinions on certain things, may be a tad skewed.
That being said, even in the initial stages of contact, the leasing agent that I worked with, was nothing short of amazing! She answered every question that I had, not only about the community, but renting in general. She explained the lease terms, community guidelines, expectations of me as a tenant, and what I could expect from them as landlords very clearly. And made the entire process virtually seamless!
The rest of the office staff are equally as helpful, professional, and even in this current pandemic have gone above and beyond! The same goes for the maintenance staff!
The grounds are neat, clean, well manicured, and it seems as though some of the longer term residents even spend their own time and money to add to the landscaping!! I have had three very small maintenance issues since moving in, and all were taken care of promptly, and very professionally by the maintenance staff.
The rent is extremely affordable, considering the size of the three bedroom apartment that I am leasing. And the apartment itself is amazingly nice. In all honesty, it really doesn't even feel like an apartment... It truly feels like a home!
The location is far enough away from the city that it is quiet, with no traffic noise. Yet is next door to a grocery store, shopping plaza, gas station, and other conveniences. Yet, it is still close enough to town that I can be at work in less than fifteen minutes, and is less than five minutes from both the 127 and 94 freeways.
To be honest, the only real complaint I have is parking. The unit that I am leasing does come with an assigned covered parking space, which for some would be a huge bonus. However, my truck is about an inch too tall, and slightly too long to fit under the carport. So, I do find myself sometimes fighting for a space in front of my building. But, even that isn't a detractor in the long run.
I would highly recommend Gallery Place to anyone seeking a quiet, friendly, well kept, and convenient location to live, without all of the hassle and added expense of owning a home.
Absolutely five stars!! read more
