I've had good luck with Marquette so far.
One quick qualifier: There have been a couple of minor complaints that I'd like to voice here, but please keep in mind when reading them that the good far, FAR outweighs the bad. It's literally like living at a resort here at Skyridge Club. So far, I really love it.
Cons: That being said, my first complaint is basically the fact that I found a notice taped to my door after a long day dealing with work that suggested that I needed to secure renter's insurance within the next three days (the implication was clear) even though not only had I already secured renter's insurance (duh, you can't move in to an upscale condo without renter's insurance), but they already had it on file and had done for quite some time. The other incident was an odd circular series of complaints about a mysterious "smell" that I didn't really want any part of that for some reason I was included in even though I was recovering from surgery and about to leave town to take care of some business within hours of whatever the heck happened (which management knew) and therefore, I felt that it wasn't really my concern. If someone is causing intolerable noise or harming a human or animal, I'm more than happy to help figure out the deets, but when it comes to smells that are gone by the time I receive a call about them? Not my problem or concern. I say live and let live. I felt like if they knew the upstairs neighbors (who are super nice by the way) smoked-which they do-and there was a smell-ostensibly of smoke or burning or something like that in the building, that in fact apparently dissipated by the time they made the call to me (really, why bother unless it's a recurring issue, right? That'd be my thinking--unless your aim is to piss off your tenants who are paying upwards of $1300 a month to live where they live, then I'd say can the rhetoric and just chalk it up to a one time thing, right?),why bother calling around? Start with the smokers. It seems only logical. Or really, just wait and see if it happens again and unless it does, let go. It's an upscale apartment complex in 2015, not a dystopian George Orwell novel that we live in (thankfully! lol)...
Those are really the only two cons I've noticed. I only mention them because I want to leave an honest and thorough review and because of the general tone that set for me as a new tenant.
Pros:
Whenever anything (always minor, always fixable) goes wrong in the condo, maintenance is IMMEDIATELY there. They're totally respectful, always with a good attitude and always super willing to help. Every time I've had to put in an online maintenance request, they've shown up within 24-48 hours and taken care of the problem. They're just great. I've even had this really nice maintenance guy (I believe his name is Eric?? Tall, good looking, larger frame, short dark hair) explain to me exactly what's what and give me a heads up on anything that might need to be taken care of in the future. For instance, when I needed help figuring out the odd window tensioner situation and how the heck to open the windows and pop out the frames for cleaning, he walked me around to each window (of which there are a fair few in my condo), explaining to me exactly how they worked and he said if I had a problem in the future, not to hesitate to call again and maintenance would be right over. They even pay special attention to the tenants with pets. They leave information in each pet owner's chart to the maintenance staff to be careful when entering and exiting those peoples' condos so that pets don't escape.
At Skyridge Club, they offer picture hanging services, breakfasts and brunches in the common area, different cool community events, pet watering and feeding services for those tenants who need to go out of town, free maintenance and more. They clean the siding on a regular basis and the windows too, they keep up with the gardening and lawn maintenance and the snow removal in the winter (I don't think I ever walked out to snow on or around my car during the winter. The sidewalks and driveway are meticulously maintained. The walking path (which is so lovely by the way) is maintained really well. I really love that my unit backs up directly onto the walking path. It's great for running, walking and biking and it's so nice to be able to socialize with neighbors and to have all the neighborhood kids who walk by (and some adults too!) want to come cuddle with my kitties. I've met some really nice people all because of the fact that I live right on the walking path. There is a beautiful grove of trees which separates Skyridge Club from the neighborhood behind it, which I absolutely LOVE!It is SO relaxing and nice to sit outside at night having a glass of wine and enjoying the sunset and/or moon and stars or to come out and have a cup of coffee in the morning while sitting on my patio.That is honestly the best part about living here in my opinion.All in all, I love it here. read more
