All that being…read moresaid, I can look past most of the cons I listed because it just comes with the territory of apartment life, which sucks even at the best of times, and penny-pinching residential groups. However, the final and most important reason for my rating is regarding safety, and unfortunately, earned this property an automatic 1 star when it was normally closer to a 4, all things considered. When the pipe burst in our building in December 2022 on Christmas day, I had just left our apartment less than half an hour before to spend time with family. I experienced no issues with the sinks or showers or pipes leading up to 12/25/22, nor did I have any problems unlocking/locking our front door. Shortly after I arrived at a family member's house in East Peoria, my partner received a call from one of the maintenance guys asking permission to enter our apartment since we weren't there; supposedly, his master key wasn't working, so our front door was forcibly opened by a battering ram by the fire department. In place of Santa's sleigh, two firetrucks were on site when I drove back to the apartment from family festivities to see what happened. It was a theatrical scene and distressing for all involved. Thankfully, our cats hid under our bed and didn't escape. Not surprisingly, our front door and deadbolt were noticeably damaged, as well as the interior door trim and adjoining drywall (see photos). The broken door trim, hardware, drywall pieces, and screws were also left in our entryway to step on and clean up. To top it off, apartment staff forgot to turn our water back on within our apartment after whatever pipe issue was resolved on Christmas, so we were unnecessarily without water for a couple days; we weren't updated about the water or front door situations on apartment management's end, so I had to call for an update, only to resort to leaving a voicemail since no one was answering. I bought 10 water jugs and a pack of water bottles from Hy-Vee so we could use our toilets, have water to drink and brush our teeth, etc. and purchased a door security bar and body wipes from Amazon. I submitted maintenance tickets to have record of both the water and door issues, which seemed to confuse/annoy one of the maintenance guys when he had showed up to turn our water back on after I had left my first voicemail (one of several). Long story short, it took way too long to have proper security for our apartment, and the door was never replaced; maintenance installed a new deadbolt and hastily painted over the damaged door; I have no idea if it was ever replaced after we moved out in May 2023. We live a few minutes from a Home Depot if staff didn't have parts on hand or the "door was on order" or any other excuse for not addressing the door and lock issue sooner.

It was safe, it was clean, it was quiet, and it was affordable. Both the residents and the staff were very friendly, so it was a nice environment to live in. The apartment is surrounded by woods on three sides, so it is a quiet and relaxing environment as well. When I moved in, my apartment was meticulously cleaned before I moved in, and everything was in good working condition. I did have one minor maintenance issue during my stay, but I let the property manager know about it, and it was promptly taken care of. They have 1 bedroom and studio apartments available. They also have excellent deals for those of you that are looking for a short term deal, and they even have some studio apartments available for rent that come with furniture, a TV, kitchen supplies (pots, pans, plates, silverware, etc), towels, sheets for the bed, pillows, and blankets (all linens were new). I literally only had to bring my clothes and other personal belongings. These studios also include your cable, internet, and utilities all in your rent bill, so all you have to pay for is rent. For those of you that are just starting out, college students, interns at CAT, or just someone looking for a convenient apartment, it was very nice and easy. Onsite laundry facilities are also provided. The apartment is in a more residential section of Peoria, but it is fairly close to major stores and just about everything else you need. It's a 15 minute commute to Caterpillar and downtown Peoria as well. There is plenty of parking provided, and it is free. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay at Woods and Meadows, and I would be more than willing to come back again. I had a good experience there, and I highly recommend it.

I spent the last three years at this apartment complex and can only say positive things about my…read moreexperience. First of all Woods & Meadows only offers studio's and one bed apartments (and no balconies). I needed more space so unfortunately had to move out, otherwise I'd most likely still be there. The apartments are clean and cozy. Everything worked fine in the two I rented during my time there, and if it didn't, Richard the maintenance person came out quickly to fix the problem. The complex as a whole is very quiet. The pool is small but well kept and rarely got busy in the summer. The complex manager, Cindy, is wonderful. She doesn't stand any nonsense but is also very helpful, efficient and friendly. If I had anything negative to say - it would probably be just that the apartments are a little older and would benefit from better AC/heating units. This apart - Highly recommended if you're looking for a great value, quiet studio or one bedroom apartment.

Our search started in October 2024. However, we didn't find OUR house until August 2026. So let's…read morego to the beginning. I research everything. So obviously, I read reviews on different agents. I'd come across more than a handful of realtors with very high reviews, but wanted the best God had for us. So we prayed and asked God to lead us to the right agent. Long story short, I called a female agent about a house and left a message. By the next day we still hadn't heard from her. She called and texted back over the weekend but for some reason we kept missing each other. So I contacted another realtor who also had very high reviews who was selling a different house to ask about another house. At this time, we still had plans to go with the female realtor. However, Scott (the 2nd agent/realtor) contacted us right away. I was up-front with him and told him that we were looking at another agent waiting for her call. Scott kindly said that there was no need for that and he can help us...lol. Now, let me just stop and say that Scott did NOT poach from another agent. The other agent hadn't yet spoken to us. With that being said, I believe it was God answering our prayers. We agreed to keep Scott as our agent because of his high reviews. However, I personally believe it was more to it. Feel free to think of it like this, God chose our realtor for us. With that being said, this market was and is "stupidly other worldly". We barely saw nor liked most of the houses on the market. We started out almost $180k lower in the beginning. We were just starting out not really understanding the market. Scott, was never pushy. He gave us the space to figure it out. There was a lull period until April 2025. We went up almost $100k from where we first began. We put an offer on a house. Again, Scott gave his gentle input but let us figure it out. The seller went with another offer. I'm personally happy they did. The market was horrible at that time and I agreed to buying out of desperation. Our desire was to buy in North Peoria or Dunlap. Unfortunately, the houses in those area's are ridiculously priced. Let's move up to 2026. We increased to $180k above our original amount. We finally saw a house in July of 2026 that we were interested in again. Scott showed us the house and we put an offer on it right away. If you've gotten to this point in the review ask Scott what happened next. It's as if God held this house just for us. No one put an offer on the house!!!! Guys, it made absolutely no sense. We were able to negotiate with the sellers. Scott gave us a starting point and we went from there. Scott was adamant about not letting the sellers keep us waiting for an answer past 24 hours. He was on top of everything. Needless to say we purchased this house in a desirable neighborhood for significantly under asking price with Scott's help. We know it was ultimately God that did it. But I do believe that Scott was God's choice for us. He stuck with us through this crazy market for almost 2 years. We were picky because we didn't want to accept the dictations of the market. I'm sure it was frustrating to Scott to go without a sell for that long. Scott, we appreciate your attitude and gentle grace (which I think is your superpower) throughout this 2 year journey. We pray God blesses you, your family and your business. Scott, thank you for your time and patience. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Blessings, The Holmans
