Haymeadow is a beautiful apartment community in northern Peoria. I've lived here for 1 month and…read morehave no complaints. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and scenic and away from big roads that cause noise. My unit is well maintained, and has no problems. I have a large dog and there is a large yard to walk her in. The noise level is low from my neighbors and they are responsible people. The laundry area is clean. The staff are friendly and gave me a warm welcome.

One of the worst "companies"/contractors I have had the displeasure of working with…read more Unfortunately, I was a terrible judge of character and let Scott McCloud/IRC do work in my condo. I am currently in the process of dealing with the BBB and pursuing small claims court. The matter comes down to extremely poor workmanship, breach of contract, and theft (took my money, did not finish work). ***Pictures and contract are available to anyone who would like to do their due diligence or verify my claim*** Unfortunately, it is hard to tell from the pictures (and without full context) exactly what you are seeing, but the highlights of just one portion of the project (shower) are as follows: Shower drain is loose and not flush, which is a hazard and prevents the water from draining on one side of the shower. Shower door is not square to the surround and neither the left or right door slide on the track properly, and they do not seal or close all the way which leaves my bathroom floor a wet mess at the end of a shower. The shower door is also way too short (standard is 72'', this one is approx 65'') which I am taller than and hit my head on every time I get out of the shower. The shower head was also lowered (standard is about 80", this one is 69") which again, I am taller than and have to hunch over just to get under the water. ^^Those are just the example from the shower, and there are NUMEROUS other issues with workmanship, fit and finish from just about every single thing they touched in regards to the project. (drywall/paint/carpet/flooring/caulking/sanding/installation) The one "pro" I will give them, the faux marble shower tiles look nice and seem to be solidly put together, but, time will tell. ---------------------------------------------- If this review is responded to, you will likely hear the following: "He asked for more than the scope" "I fulfilled my end of the contract" "He asked to save money" "He kept changing things" "He told me he didn't want ABC or XYZ done" "He wanted free work" "I told him I was going to come back to do "free work", but he put in a "lie"of a review, so now I am not going to" "I was trying to be a nice guy and help him out" The list of excuses will be long, and inaccurate...again, because I have the contract, pictures, and texts to back up what I am saying. Do you? Folks, this was an insurance claim job ($12K), it was not coming out of my pocket. I just wanted to get back to "pre-loss condition". And, I can assure you that all I was looking for was the job to be done on-time, on budget, and correctly/professionally....Unfortunately, I received none of those. IRC (Scott McCloud or his worker) have not been back to my home in over a month, and they still have a set of my house keys, which I asked for back approx. 3 days + ago in my 3rd response to the BBB complaint, and that he's had for over 3 months). I tried to extend the opportunity for Scott and IRC to make this right numerous times (I have the texts to prove it) and nothing has come of it. If you check my profile, I have never left more than a 5 line review praising a company, so this is something I do not just do out of a petty grievance. ---------------------------------------------- Illinois Remodeling Consultants (IRC) LLC is also labeled as NGS (Not Good Standing) as of October 1st, 2022 which according to the State of Illinois website means: "Illinois corporation not in good standing (NGS) refers to a corporation in the state of Illinois that has failed to comply with the state's requirements for reporting and paying fees." ---------------------------------------------- Doors open for them to make it right, as by the time we are finished with our final BBB dispute it will be on to small claims court. ---------------------------------------------- Buyer beware. Take your time, do your research. And most importantly, trust your gut.

As my wife and I married in May directly following graduation from college, my wife and I had to…read moremake a very quick move to the Peoria area for my career the following month. We had less then a week to find and sign with an apartment, and Cape Cod Village caught my eye. We made the several hour drive out to the area to look at a few other apartments, but once we stopped at Cape Cod, we knew this was were we wanted and signed within 2 hours. From the beginning, the staff has been absolutely incredible which greatly contrast the landlords of a college town. While with the latter I felt I was being deprived of any amounts of cash for this and that with little support, I feel that Cape Cod has genuine concern for all the residents and are extremely proactive in maintenance and care. Rather than just repairing issues, Cape Cod continually contacts us in advance and ask if there are any concerns we have or if they are going to update anything around our home. They just repaved the entire parking lot, and still continue to make improvements around our home including updating our AC to a smart controller. The club house amenities have been deeply appreciated this year with COVID as they opened the pool to residents over the summer and had it staffed full time to check temperatures and be cleaned between guest. The gym which is surprisingly nice has also remained open to us and cleaning supplies have been provided to sanitize equipment. While there are not bars or benches with free weights, the gym is very well equipped with machines and dumbbells with space for stretching and warm-ups. While it may not be enough for hard-core gymrats (there are full gyms in the area to be a member of if so), it has been perfect for my wife and I to frequent several times a week and is just one more perk that pushes Cape Cod over the top of perfection. If you are more into running, the complex sits right on the Morton bike path which gives plenty of options to get out and go. The area feels very safe, quite a bit more then East Peoria, and our friends in the area regret not living here when they have come to visit. They would move if they didn't already have contracts elsewhere. One thing thing that you must keep in mind is that the apartments are pet friendly which can mean dogs can occasionally be heard barking across the lake and there is always someone out walking their dog at any time of the day. While I have a low tolerance of pets and I have allergies, I've had no complaints as others seem to keep great care of their dogs and we've gotten on well. There are two types of apartment buildings here, old and new. We live in a new one and are so happy with the living space. The walls and ceilings are thick, we cannot hear the neighbors or music and the electric bill has stayed very low as there is great insulation. We pay about $30-70 a month for electricity which is very reasonable and actually less then we expected keeping the heat and AC at 68-72. Be sure to program the thermostat though to fluctuate if you're not home in the days and this will help keep the bill lower. Moving in to the third story took some physical effort with couches and furniture as the floors are very tall, but the stairs were deep, wide and the walkways are as well. There was no difficulty in getting things moved around as the outside is very spacious and well lit. I know that we will miss this place when we have to move due to work, and we both think that we will not be able to find a place this nice for this great of rent. Cape Cod has spoiled us. Every day when I come home it feels like coming to a lake front condo. I cannot recommend this apartment enough! Love the space, love the staff, and really hope you can as well!
