Shakamak Retirement Community Apartments

Not a good place to rent. Good Samaritan and manager of complex could care less about residents. They promise and never deliver. If you are unfortunate enough to end up here, realize you've abandoned hope. The manager only works 5 hrs a day, 4 days a week. She could care less about the residents.

Avoid this place like the plague. The management cares nothing for the residents or community. You have to fight for clean air filters, clean laundry rooms, lawn maintenance. The residents are great, kind caring neighbors, but we are stuck here with no way to move elsewhere.

Shakamak Independent Community has great residents and nice apartments. Unfortunately, management fails to provide repairs unless it is an emergency. They will tell you there is a handyman, but he spends all his time at the nursing home. Promises are made to residents which remain unfulfilled sometimes for months, and in many cases, years. There is little (if any) communication from management to residents unless a complaint is strenuously made. Even then, they will drag their feet and act as if the tenants should understand when months go by without their needs being addressed. Some residents have literally waited as long as 2-5 years for sinks to be fixed, carpet replaced following hot water heater leak, new stove. etc. Most of the residents have simply given up on request for repairs. One tenant still has a coffee can under the kitchen sink to catch leaks. It is emptied at least one a day. He has been waiting 5 years for carpet replacement as well as sink repair. I gave 3 stars for remodeled units, great residents and peaceful area. If you rent here, be prepared to manage all repairs yourself or hire someone who will.
