I have taken many photographs of the Rock River at sunrise. I'm constantly in awe at how beautiful the view is. And the building is quite soundproof, relatively speaking. It's a big concrete building built in the 70's. Someone in the hallway will hear your music, but not anyone in any other unit. I've never gotten a complaint about my music, and I often play it somewhat loudly at various times. Like, very early in the morning. Hence why I have so many sunrise photographs (never a filter added).

Before leaving the country for work, I submitted a rental application with the understanding that…read moremy apartment would be ready by June 18th. I asked to see the unit beforehand but was told it wouldn't be available until June 17th. Since I was abroad, a family member viewed it for me. Based on their impression and with no other options, I signed the lease. I returned on June 22nd and was immediately disappointed. The apartment was in poor condition -- dark, musty, with spiders throughout, especially in the bathroom. The toilet was filthy and looked like it hadn't been replaced in years. I went to the leasing office and spoke with staff and Property Manager, but received no meaningful support. I explained that if I'd been allowed to see the unit beforehand, I wouldn't have signed. The whole process felt rushed and unfair. I've started the lease termination process. The staff has been unhelpful and seems indifferent to resident concerns. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid this community.

Windows were older and I forgot about the existance of Plastic film wrap so when the wind blows During a winter storm the mini blinds moved with the wind like 8 inches it was wild I should have asked for help with Plastic film as maintence would have probibly helped me for free if I bought the kit so that was my fault. They give one of the nicest amenities which was basic local channels for free so no stupid rabbit ears and the internet speed and quality was great and reliable and lower cost then getting my own internet. There were a couple of turn offs we had alot of people who would speed through the parking lot and so I went to speak to one of the managers in the front office and said hey if someone wants to rent here and has kids I would reccomend the back apartments so that the kids would play in the backyard instead of the front thus avoiding the fast drivers and the lady let me know that they cant tell people what apartment to pick and I said just to let them know of the traffic and they seemed to not care about the safety of kids and more about liability of reccomending apartments or seeming discriminory and that was not the point. The apartment laundry seemed to not work like sometimes even half loads would still be soaking wet so I had to buy a laundy spinner to get the water out before drying the cloths There is great drainage and I only saw 2 silver fish once after heavy rain by my sliding padio door so I was super happy that that is all because this apartment was clean and bug free exept that one time and that was 3 days of rain and I have had more bugs in more exensive places so I am impressed with their pest management expecially the amout of grass and greanery they have they must control the pests which was nice. All and all it is a good place to live but remember it is not the most expensive place and they do cost saving like not having emergency boiler maintenence done for the last 2 days of memorial day weekend with no hot water was not fun but with lower rent you can not expect the best or fastest service that is why I give it a full 5 star. They also did not messs with me with my security deposit so that was nice and they even did a walk through with me after asking the management to make sure there would be no issue with getting security deposit back.

Worst kind of landlords…read more They will give you an apartment in poor condition, raise the rent annually without fail, and then nickel and dime you on the security deposit. I took on an apartment after the previous tenant passed and they did not want to repaint and they did not replace the carpet. The previous tenant was there for 13 years and I was there for almost 3. Guarantee it's the same carpet why else would they take 130 from my security deposit for cleaning. Apartments in Pine meadow are in a decent location, but they are plagued with mold, old appliances that don't work well, frequent bug infestations, and damage from the previous tenant that they don't bother to repair but will charge you for on the security deposit or get creative and charge you for things they didn't list on their note that they give you in preparation for moving out. Also, I have video of one of the owners urinating on the back side of the apartment in front of my blink camera. Classy. I also have footage where he entered my apartment without notice while I was not home more than once, definitely recommend a camera or two if you move here.

Our son rented from the Holtans for his last three years of medical school and has been very satisfied with the property and the service. Broken items were addressed quickly - a busted overhead garage door spring was replaced within two hours of our call. The husband and wife landlords are both medical professionals who understand the med school calendar. They crafted the lease to end, more or less, with the end of our son's time at UIC-Rockford, and not 12 months after the lease began. We really appreciated that. The property is a little older and could use upgrades here and there - some rugs, maybe add a garbage disposal and under-counter lights and consider a full-size washer/dryer. But for a single student, there's nothing here that would be off-putting. (I imagine most married couples would be happy here, too, but I can't really comment on that.) The site is only about 15 minutes from campus and just a bit more from most of the hospitals and clinics a med student will likely spend time at. Most major retail/food stores are close by (try Woodman's if you're on a budget . . . or if you're not) and there are several truly wonderful restaurants in the area. Comcast provides video and internet and we had no problems with either during the three years. And, seemingly most importantly, our son found several coffee shops where he could sit and study for hours.

He started out and found being a landlord in Rockford, you need to be tough. People have written: about a small leak in a sink that took a week to fix, that is not a big deal.

By time the person would have had a court date and was able to square off with him everything would be all good. All leases have it spelled out if you don't pay your rent on time. There is one about him not paying a cleaning person, I wonder his side of that. He is a perfectionist. He also had the same cleaning lady for years and she was content.
