Golfside Lake Apartments

Experience was fine until a stabbing happened inside my building and McKinley has been nothing but incompetent. Asked to clean the blood of the walls and still left it all over the front entrance, still there 3 weeks after. This complex is not safe, fighting management to let us leave early but no answers outside of "we're working on it" weeks later. Going to file a complaint with the Washtenaw Health Department. This is beyond ridiculous.

Golfside Lake Apartments is a beautiful community with great amenities, including two swimming pools, two tennis courts, a playground, and a nicely equipped fitness center that is available 24 hours a day. It has good walking paths, and a beautiful lake teeming with ducks and wildlife. The grounds are always well-kept. My apartment was updated prior to my moving in with newer appliances in the kitchen and updated fixtures in the bathroom as well as new carpet and fresh paint. The apartment is well maintained, quiet, and comfortable. The maintenance staff here is top-notch! I had a few minor issues requiring repair or attention since moving here two months ago, and they have consistently been quick to address them. The leasing office staff are all quite friendly and welcoming, and they e

This might be a little unconventional, but I was just that impressed. I need to walk down Golfside several times a day, and I need the sidewalks clear for mobility reasons.

Golfside Lake, which does shovel but because it's so close to the street the plow often covers the sidewalk up again, didn't give me platitudes but instead had the place shoveled again within 24 hours and has so far kept up with it since. To compare, my own complex, Aspen Chase, has ignored it this entire winter despite multiple requests. I was really impressed with this

A few things to know about other reviews for Golfside Lake Apartments: 1: after receiving so many complaints, they removed the ability for tenants to publicly post/discuss crime, maintenance issues, questions, etc within the portal/app used to pay rent. 2: after investigating a few profiles associated with the 5-star ratings, I noticed SOME of the reviewers are based in Florida where the property owners are based. 3: some folks are lucky to have anything above a 2-star experience. Maybe they live in a unit away from the cheaper units where most of the crime takes place. Maybe they don't leave their unit or don't share a laundry machine. I'm just an average well-mannered dude that never missed a rent payment or caused any drama over the five years I lived here. Here's my review: Golfside

Moved in recently and we love our new apartment. Excellent experience and great service from the leasing staff. The Manager Hector helped us with the application process and was very supportive every step of the way, thank you thank you! We recommend Golfside Lake for renting in the Ypsilanti area.
