My husband and I lived there for 5 years. Rent kept going up, but nothing was fixed. Our unit…read morelooked like it was never renovated since the 70s. The landlord is a slum lord. Charges for everything even if it is out of your hands. She drives around and takes pictures of cars, and she leaves passive aggressive notes on doors. Our neighbor tracked dirt in on his shoes and left us a note on our door with dirt folded up in it and said if it happens again they will fine us...even though they KNEW it wasn't us. Cracks in the walls everywhere. The window was leaking. All they did was come in and paint over the cracks caused by rain. The shower had bubbling paint and black mold. Safe to say, I am glad they raised our rent because we actually went a bought a house because of it. Beware of Leona...she doesn't care about anything but money.

I have had no issues here. My apartment is all updated and clean. Common areas of the building and…read moreoutside are clean. Have never seen any bugs. Maintenance has been responsive and thorough thus far. Maintenance has been out cleaning the grounds, sanitizing door handles and cleaning common areas. I can hear my neighbors kids bouncing around upstairs once in a while but nothing terribly irritating or serious. This is an apartment complex with several buildings and different kinds of people. There's bad people everywhere you go.

My husband and I just moved here and our experience has been awful so far. After we got approved,…read moreour leasing agent went rogue. We were passed around to 3 different leasing agents and all of them were very rude to us. We were told that we can do a final walk through of our unit a week before our move in date and when that day came, we were told our unit wasn't ready and that they "usually don't tell people that". When we asked if our unit would be ready before our move in date, the leasing agent said "it should be but I'm not sure". It was like pulling teeth just to get a for sure answer. The week of our move in date, we were told that our unit would not be ready until 2pm on our move in date (still no final walk through). The unit ended up being ready by 9am on our move in date, but when we did a walk through we found so many things wrong with the apartment. There is a crack in the wall above the bedroom window that is the entire length of the window, there's a crack in the corner of the window, a crack in the ceiling, the toilet paper holder is loose, paint chipping in the bathtub, and holes in the living room window screen. Also, one of the screens in the living room window was wide open. We took pictures and documented it. Fortunately, our parents were able to fix the toilet paper holder and we pulled the window screen over to close, but we shouldn't have had to do any of that. We were sold on an updated unit that is move in ready (and it was VERY expensive to get in this place). During the documentation process of what needs fixing, the leasing agent was very rude to us, making comments like "well a lot of that stuff is cosmetic" and "if you guys still have a lot to fill out, you can do it in the business office. I have to finish my work". Also, we never received our mail keys when we turned in our document of what needs fixing (they "hold them for ransom" until you turn in that document). Fast forward to our first night here, our bathtub was clogged and we had to pull out a large clump of hair from the drain (neither one of us had showered yet). This was very frustrating as we had already been through a lot and just wanted to shower and relax. Also, there was a pile of dog poop in front of our living room window that my dad had to pick up and throw away. Overall, this has been a VERY frustrating process. This place takes your money FAST and does very little to resolve issues. We are glad that this is only a 12 month lease and are already looking forward to moving out. All pictures of our issues have been included and maintenance requests have been submitted.

This is a great apartment for those living on their own for the first time.

Walgreens may be half a block away, but with the conviences of the drugs your next door neighbors will be selling, why even bother going to walgreens? When you tour the place, you'll see a nice modem unit with tons of amenties. But when you actually rent the unit you'll end up with a unit that hasn't seen updating since your parents moved out on their own. Also a great place to start a family, as there are tons of activities for your kids to do. You don't have to worry about your children ending up smarter than your dumb ass for renting this apartment. They'll be gnawing on lead paint chips and then get to experience the worst Joliet Public schools have to offer. (But that's another review all together) Go ahead and let your little bundle of joy drink forumla made with Joliet tap water, it contains radium, as in the reason they can't drink the water in Japan anymore. Joliet claims it's not hazardous to humans, but it sure kills house cats and dogs fast. You don't have to worry about getting raped as long as you dress consertivly and tape your breasts down, because those hussies that actually got raped in the hallway were asking for it by showing clevage. Don't have any friends or dating life suck? That's OK, you'll have plenty of roaches to talk to, perhaps you can even find another rat named Ben and be the next Michael Jackson.Cher may have said we all sleep alone, but she never slept in this apartment building, where there's an orgy of sucking all night every night, and it's the bed bugs on all parts of your body, not just the parts that enjoy a good sucking. If you really have no intentions on having a better life for yourself or your family, this is a great place, if you do want your life to get better, try the dumpster behind the food for less, you can get enough boxes to make a lovely duplex.

I'm shocked this place hasn't had reviews, but mine is overdue so here it is. Due to work, I had to…read moremove to the south suburbs. I wasn't thrilled being pulled away from Chicago, but we all have to do what we have to do. First, Diane & her team are wonderful. I still remember both her & Adriana showing me units - accommodating my schedule - I didn't get off work until late, & I appreciated them working with me. They were both amazing & I settled on a unit Diane had showed me. Any maintenance request I had was handled quickly - their team was very friendly! I appreciated the laundry room being very tidy, being able to pay rent online, as well as making maintenance requests. Despite being close to a hospital, it was very quiet & peaceful. On occasion I'd hear the garbage truck or landscaping but that's to be expected. I loved my open kitchen, large bathroom, bedroom, & large walk in closet. I was sad being unable to stay as changing jobs again would require me to move yet again. When the time came, I wasn't happy about leaving - I loved my unit & the staff here. Even when my move date was a day past intended, Diane was really great working with me. If you're in need of an apartment in the Joliet area, I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much again. (I miss my old place there!)

Birches I lived in…read morethis community for four years - the longest I've lived anywhere since I was 18 years old. Please don't mistake that as a good thing - the housing market sucked and management literally trapped us there. The four years I was there - I grew bitter. Bitter, because I see plenty of cars in the parking lot that violate the rules of being in the parking lot (flat tires, zero suspension, expired plates by YEARS, etc.) that did not get ticketed or towed. Yet, of course our vehicles did not get exceptions. Bitter, because I had cats and paid exorbitant fees to have live with us at the complex, only to be told upon exiting that those fees covered absolutely nothing and we should have left the patch of carpet they tore up (since they had an accident by the door and marked it) and were going to be charged $300 to cover it. Bitter, because we pay for the gym and pool year round, despite weights being stolen, machines not working, and the pool being opened later than promised. Bitter, because we didn't have a consistent staff member to talk to for our first two years there due to employee turnover. Bitter, because we'd meet the neighbors and they'd talk about how the girl that sits at the pool is a hooker for weed and her boyfriend likes it - what kind of community is this?? Bitter, because we paid for water usage split for the whole building, so if your neighbors are taking long showers, tough luck! Bitter, because the trash removal fee was tacked on to our bill every month rather than included in the base rent - that, among other fees, mean the base rent isn't actually what you will ever pay. If you want to live in a place where they don't care to communicate issues, don't care to double check their spelling and grammar when they do communicate, and do the absolute bare minimum to fix things, this is the place for you. If you want to be taken advantage of since it is a low-cost of living area, please rent with The Birches. Oh, and they do offer incentives to review, so please take those positive reviews with a grain of salt. :)

The windows leak cold air all the time, my cars paint has been chipped from the workers mowing and "snow blowing", if you need something fixed good luck, the AC is so weak it will only cool the immediate room it is in, once you live here you are nothing to them because you are trapped in your lease, want to upgrade apartments to something bigger? Nope! You live here now so you are the absolutely last priority when it comes to getting the new m2 bedrooms that open up.

I was barely home, because it was so dangerous for me and my toddler. I would come home to glass on the floor, the maintenance men would go through my things. I would hear conversations that i had on the phone from my apartment from other tentants who laughed at the fact that they we're getting away with attacking me. I remind you i talked very low, So i honestly think it was a secret camera in my home. The tentants would lie on me & my toddler all the time. When i address the tentants, they got very upset and wanted to fight and start threatening me. When i told the property management, they put a letter on my door saying i wouldn't be able to renew my lease (Believe me i wouldn't have renewed my lease anyway, because the environment was extremely dangerous) One day i called the police and the tentants upstairs from me already knew i had called the police, And we're already standing at the place where I told the police to meet me at, nd made it seem like i was the one's doing things to them. It took me time to get there, because my child is autistic. Again, i believe it was a secret camera in my home. The maintenance men, tentants and property management lied on me and said i had a dog so i could get kicked out of the apartment before my lease was up.
