Glens of Northville Apartments

I was a renter at Glens of Northville ( Woodland Glens then) over twenty years ago. Over time, some things change and others stay the same. The name has changed, but the quiet, friendly community has remained. Upon reaching out for a place to live, I was greeted by Linda, the Assistant Manager. Linda was very helpful, helping me decide which unit would be best for my needs. I enjoy the pond view! Linda, Marlene, Cecil and the rest of the staff here at Glens of Northville, are great. ... Whenever I have had an issue, and there have not been many, the team is ready and willing to make my stay here very comfortable. Keep up the good work. SZ Read More

There are 5 speed bumps within the complex & the first 2 are a little high so you always have to be careful. They recently replaced our garbage containers near each building to a much smaller size. The maintenance team is terrible. Honestly, they do get paid minimum wage for the work they do so I don’t blame them. In the winter they don’t put salt down near the carports & I have slipped a couple of times. There’s not really any stop signs & people do like to speed. Oh & theres 2 ponds, but the... geese & ducks take over that pretty much 75% of the year. They have very strict rules for the pool. Apartments are okay, but rent keeps getting increased every year. Ugh. Read More

I lived there for one year. They are way too expensive for the Apartment they provide.Cheap Materials. And poor quality.

It seems there is way more negative reviews on places with people nitpicking every little thing they can find, this made securing a place difficult as it seemed everywhere was no good to live. After a year of being here, without having to ask maintenance replaced all the windows and sliding doors which are very nice now. Summer has started and my AC has gone out. Less than 24 hours after notifying staff through the portal, they were onsite diagnosing the issue and game planning a solution. The... place has been fantastic and honestly don't have a single complaint at this point in time. Highly recommend this community. Read More

We love the Northville area, and our neighbors were quiet /kind, which is the reason for the two stars. Rent was far too high for what we were getting though. My wife's bike got stolen (locked up in the car port, but chain was cut) about a year into the lease. Not a secure community (no gate, guard, etc.), and outdoor lighting at night is seriously lacking. Our previous apartment complex in Ypsi had a gate with a 24/7 guard for about $300 less per month. Management staff is also 50/50, and a few... times, left the office early before close (no reasoning).

Fitness center gets the job done, but equipment is clearly not kept up or broken (as of Dec. 2017). Example: Treadmill safety pin is loose and janky (can shut off mid run). Really just a "Hey we have a fitness center too!" marketing ploy. Being a runner myself, I will say the surrounding area is great for jogs. An upper-middle class neighborhood is less than a 1/2 mile away where jogs in the morning are great and quiet. Another 2 star reasoning there.

Poor building maintenance. Building fire alarm would go off randomly, sometimes in the middle of the night. No fire, or smoke smell in the hallway. Just poorly maintained. It would go on and on, until it shut off automatically. We would be enjoying a movie in our living room (which IS spacious with the high ceilings), and BEEP BEEP BEEP. For 20 minutes. Never got resolved in the time we were there. In addition, washer / dryer units would periodically go out of service or stop working. This was very frustrating, something that was shared by us and our neighbors.

Also, the speed bumps are outrageously large. Whenever a UPS / Moving truck comes in, you'll know it! You'll hear the truck's load rock from deep in the apartment... not to mention your own car / SUV when you pass over them (go slow!).

Please check the news too. A father and son died in the pool on memorial day weekend (or shortly after) in 2017. Was all over local news, and we had reporters right outside our building for a few hours. Very sad, but another underlying reasoning for our complaints. ... we never went to the pool, with this news in our head.

Luckily, we moved out when we did. I would seriously consider other communities before this one. Read More
