Barrington Lakes Apartments

Alfombras manchadas y despegadas , paredes rayadas , dificultades para conseguir puestos de estacionamiento después de las 9:00 pm , en los apartamentos el piso de madera es muy desgastado .

Ignorant and inattentive management. The maintenance/cleaning team fail to clean the walls and the units for new arrivals. They will try to charge you for things they never bothered to clean themselves. Over priced in general especially when it comes to parking. The lots are way overcrowded. You may as well not pay to park in the lot and just walk to your car parked on the street. Find something better is my recommendation.

I have never lived in a more unprofessional place. Constant hidden fees, a bunch of random charges. Never fix anything. I would live literally anywhere else these people do not care about you or anything they want to drain you of your money. They towed my own car from my own parking lot. Biggest mistake was moving here. I’ve lived in 4 other apartment buildings in Chicago and never dealt with more problems than here. Also I have dealt with rats and roaches…..

Parking lots are so overcrowded and there are not enough parking spots for tenants let alone guests. Pot holes took months to be fixed (that’s being generous) and were cheaply patched that fall apart within another few months. Guest passes (or guest registry for their new online system) is a nightmare and the towing company will tow at 10 on the dot.
Garage floods and the gate key to the garage was almost always open because it was broken so often. There is a mountain of trash like toilets,... tables, chairs, actual garbage, old AC units, etc just piled in a section in the garage.

I never used the pool, gym or game room so I can’t really have an opinion.
But…
In the resident buildings, the hallway carpet looks beyond dirty and has dog urine stains. Overall, the hallways have a very unpleasant odor that’s very musky and of urine.

Management has changed so much I don’t even know who it is now. As I was moving out the property manager was new, but right before then it was Judith. Judith was very pleasant to talk with and I never had a negative interaction. The receptionists as a lot of other reviews say, are clearly miserable and are not pleasant to talk to.

I don’t know what else to say other than overall, I recommend avoiding this place. I lived here 3 years and that was 3 years too many. For what you get, the word “overpriced” does not even come close. Read More

Amenities look NOTHING like the pictures they have up. Someone was shot in the face here. Dog poop everyone & no one keeps them leashed either. Roaches and other bugs fill multiple buildings. They do bare minimum to fix things. The hallways are disgusting and the carpets and walls are covered in stains. Packages stolen. Management rude and ignorant. The list goes on, really I could probably write a book about it. DO NOT LIVE HERE.
