We were on a corner so we didn't share walls with many people- so I have zero noise complaints. The grounds are kept nice and clean. If you love animals/dogs this is definitely the place for you. Reminds me of a petting zoo. The bees/wasps in the summer were absolutely terrible here/ bugs seep in from outside in the entry way all summer long also. Rent everywhere is astronomical- so to live in oak creek I guess we paid the price- $2200 with attached garage. Little steep. Don't plan on getting your security deposit back- we cleaned the apartment and had minimal paint touch up's, etc but still got charged $200 for cleaning and a $45 paint fee for above normal "wear and tare" if I didn't have other significant things going on I'd ask for pictures because that's ridiculous ...they are stealing from people quite frankly -especially considering the ridiculous monthly payments... the response time is slow when you reach out to them (granted there are a lot of tenants) so understandably there may be a delay but... eh. 3/5 seemed appropriate

It was brought to my attention recently that a review was written on 8/2/2016 under my name for…read morethis company, that was NOT written by me but by a previous employee who used my name and email to write this review. The account has been closed for some time and will not allow me to delete the review written on 8/2/2016. Please disregard this review as this is INACCURATE. Our store had to close due to the economy at that time, and since we where not a franchised business, we could not stay a float. The property that we rented was actually a very beautiful space and never had problems with management or maintenance while the store was there. If we ever had a maintenance issue, they where actually there within hours to fix it. Honestly, with how much other people or companies where asking in the area for rent at that time, Jay Benkowski offered us a very great rate for rent due to being a small business, which helped us a lot until we could not afford it anymore due to the economy. Again, I apologize to the Benkowski Company for that review that was written by someone else using my name, which was uncalled for and never should have happened.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Be very weary when renting from Benkowski. They will be very nice…read morein the beginning but when it comes time to move out, they will take you for everything you have and then some. I rented from them for 7 years. I was never once late on a rent payment except for 1 time when the post office lost our check and it got delivered late but was post marked on the date I admitted to mailing it which was the 1st. There were apparent issues getting it picked up, it was postmarked the 2nd and never received by Benkowski until almost 2 weeks later after getting lost. Still, we were charged a $60 late fee. Upon moving out, a few things were trying to be put past us like being charged for painting the basement (which was never done by us had they reviewed their own move in video) and not following their OWN fee schedule for the replacement of an interior door. We disputed the charges and mailed a letter back stating we would not pay that and it took them a full 2 months to respond back to us. We not only did not receive any of our security deposit back, but had to also pay an additional $199. Let's just say, I'm extremely happy to be done doing any business with them and will gladly take home repairs any day over paying them for their crappy town home which by the way, had water in the basement 3 separate times in 7 years. There is no upkeep is done on their properties besides snow removal and grass cutting which is extremely minimal. If you want to be woken up at 3am by a snow blower, then rent from Benkowski! Save your money and purchase your own home to put equity into. Had I known about a great mortgage broker and realtor sooner, I would never have had to put up Benkowski at all

A Nightmare You Can Avoid... I lived at the Gables for just…read moreover 2.5 years, and while things started off great, they took a nosedive after about a year. Since December, I've had nothing but trouble: sewer backups, a smoking AC/heating unit, and a leaky AC. The new manager, Tara, is all about deflecting problems and passing them up the chain, where they just get ignored. If you're eyeing a one-bedroom in the 285 building, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. You don't want to deal with the mess of sewer backups that have flooded my apartment from the neighbors' waste. It happened to me 2 times--twice when I was home and twice after I caught it before it got worse. After the second incident, I asked for a small rent discount, but it took six months of dealing with these issues before they finally offered a Visa gift card as a lame apology. The whole process was poorly handled. They brought in a plumber who, during a visit, suggested my neighbor might be flushing adult wipes and even discussed trying to evict her in front of me. Totally unprofessional. Tara tried to deny the third incident and complained about the costs of hiring professionals. If you're hiring experts, shouldn't they actually fix the problem? I don't want to hear about how much money it's costing you. Managing an apartment complex means dealing with these issues, whether you handle them yourself or hire someone to fix them. Complaining about costs is just an amateur excuse. It's clear that they didn't want to move me to a new two-bedroom unit because it would've cost them more, and that's the real reason they didn't address the problem properly. On top of everything, garbage pickup is a nightmare, especially in winter. With snow piling up, you're left squeezing your garbage cans to the curb, which takes up more road space. On windy days, trash ends up blowing everywhere making it a dump, and tenants don't always clean up after their dogs. Parking is another issue--nobody follows the no-parking rules on the road. They've also started charging for water, claiming it's a common practice elsewhere, which isn't true. Plus, the workout room equipment is frequently broken, and these "luxury" units are far from luxurious. If you want to live somewhere that actually lives up to its promises and has a management team that knows what they're doing, do yourself a favor and avoid the Gables and check out Coast at Lakeshore.
