Have lived here about 8-9 months and are loving it! Right on the service drive so quick access Ann Arbor or the airport/Detroit.Jabira and Olivia were so helpful moving us in quickly when our other apartment lease fell through.The maintenance team is responsive and respectful. Especially Anthony who has taken care of most of our maintenance issues, he works efficiently and is very polite, he goes above and beyond to solve problems! It’s great to feel comfortable with Waverly staff!Life is good here for us.

Extreme lack of communication. None of our maintenence requests go through. It has been dipping into the 40s in our apartment for 2 months now, and despite email exchanges and work orders, not even a temporary fix was talked about until today when we directly mentioned it. Broken/missing window screens, door screens that dont latch, and careless paint jobs are a couple reasons why this place doesnt quite feel like home. However the views of the lake are beautiful, I love the area, and the renovated common spaces and gym are quite nice.

Honestly not a bad place to live especially if you’re by yourself. Location is good,every time I’ve had a maintenance issue it’s been taken care of. Rent is a little overpriced right now but so is everything else in the market, Also I pay for reserved parking spot and dealt with an issue of someone constantly parking in my spot, security and office was of no help so I’ve found my own solution and put cones whenever I leave to avoid people parking in my spot. Besides that the area is pretty nice office is friendly, and they allow pets which is also a plus.

Overall:Avoid this place at all costs if you can. I moved here as a last resort with my partner. We found that they do not care about residents and everything is pretty much a disaster here.Maintenance:Maintenance is hit or miss, they rarely fix things. When they do, it’s a patch repair or half-done. Ex. when I reported our fire alarms constantly going off/not working, they simply removed all of them from the building instead of fixing them. This was left for 7 months until the fire dept. forced them to fix it. “Renovations” are the same, they hire as cheap of contractors as they can, contractors do half-done work that takes forever to complete.Management:Management is atrocious. They refuse to be held accountable in almost any situation, they’re not queer-friendly, and most of all, they don’t care about you or your comfort. They will almost always gaslight you until you give up on trying to address whatever it is you need to be resolved, making it impossible for you to get assistance from the only people who can and are supposed to help you out.Cost:The rent is ridiculous, and increasing, squeezing every cent out of you for below basic housing. Your electric bill will be absolutely through the roof the majority of the year as the buildings are old/uninsulated. Expect to pay around $300/month. Expect ice and mold all around your doors/windows as well and no, they will not replace the doors that cost you $300+ a month in electricity and mold growing all around the frame.Location:The complex location falls between three airports, railroad tracks, and is right next to the highway. The area is extremely loud, if you plan to spend time outside, it is not an enjoyable experience and you’ll likely need to go to a park or somewhere else in the nearby area to relax.The “walking” trail is just a short muddy two-track road that is left unmaintained and unlit.My experience:My partner and I moved across the country to this complex and it was a disaster and continues to be. We communicated with the office about our situation and when we would arrive to ensure a smooth move-in for ourselves as the trip was extremely long/stressful as moving always is. The complex did nothing on their end to ensure that we would have a smooth move-in. The leasing office was not where the signs/map showed us but in a random apt building that my partner found by calling and walking around the property. When we finally had our keys, the apartment was nothing like what we signed for/were told it would be like. It was full of bugs, missing door handles and fridge handle, chunks of wood in the tub, water-damaged ceilings, uneven laminate floors (not carpet as promised) that looked like an optical illusion, no A/C, leftover decor, spray-paint balcony walls, and more issues. They got us a hotel and agreed to show us a different apartment. Our other “option” was to be completely houseless and stranded.The new apartment had plenty of issues and was not move-in ready either; sticky black residue all over cabinets, candle wax in the tub, yellow residue dripping down walls in the bathrooms, electrical outlet hanging out of the wall, kitchen drawers broken, fridge shelves broken, bugs, door handles missing, no hot water in bathrooms, rusted water shut-offs, and more. We had to transfer EVERYTHING to this apartment after already having switched everything over, which was unbelievably stressful. Movers scheduled for old apartment had to be changed last minute, we had to extend UHUAL rental another day, and take work off. We called the office about the uncleanliness of the place, we were told to get a cleaner and we would be reimbursed for it. We sent over the bill to which we received response that they never said that and they would not be paying for it. In the end, they paid, but we had to argue with them.This whole process was defeating, I’m not even capturing the full scope of everything that happened. If you’re considering living here, look elsewhere.

Really nice apartment but cheaply made!! I’ve lived here for a few months now and man the noise is absolutely ridiculous! It’s not that my neighbors are being excessively loud it’s just these apartments are cheaply made! I can hear everything in my apartment like conversations from my next door neighbors, even neighbors who live under me, I also hear everything in the hall way, everything in the parking lot. It’s just ridiculous and the office can’t and won’t do anything about it and it’s very frustrating cause I get woken up out of my sleep a lot of the time because of how clear I can hear the sound.

So I live here for about a year now & my apartment almost caught fire on my birthday, because of the AC motor that’s in the closet ceiling needed to replaced, & filled the entire apartment with smoke I had to grab my 2 kids and call 911.The kitchen flooded because of the sink backing up, electrical outlets don’t work, bugs galore, old appliances in they classic apartments, HIGH DTE BILL IN THE WINTER MONTHS $300-400 just for a 1 bedroom. It be so cold you have to keep the heat on 75 degrees because of the balcony doors are not well insulated. Maintenance has always answered my requests in a timely matter & fixed things that needed to be fix right away. Maintenance gets 5 stars from me. The office staff is friendly. I wouldn’t recommend living on the 1st floor because my balcony is not useful at ALL it just there to collect people’s trash that they throw on the ground and debris from the renovations that they are doing on my building somehow lands on my balcony lol. The view from my 1st floor unit is terrible its no grass just dirt. They are pretty expensive apartments To. I needed a 2 bedroom and it’s $1275 for a basic unit. But It’s a safe area, the police department is close by grocery stores, restaurants, & shopping centers are close by.

Ive been at this complex since it was called Harbor Club. It was great when owned by the old Management Company. Being a resident at this property is horrid now. Maintenence orders go ignored or delayed for months at a time, Construction work is going on every other week without notification (if you work from home this is a BIG) issue, and those in the main office dont seem to care about the residents at all.

If you like highway noise 24/7 and train horns in the middle of the night-this is the place for you! B.Lipponens review said was spot on. No cleaning before you move in..just a rush to take your money.New owner alert. The new owners are running the place into the ground.Changing the name was to get rid of a bad reputation and misleading with views of the lake but cant go down to the lake.This used to have a golf course and driving range. Now they just mow a path and call it a nature trail..muddy, bug infested and lame.Just a below average complex and dated.Being on a golf course was great! That is a selling point..nothing like playing 9 holes in your backyard! Bring the course back!!!UPDATE: I dont sign my papers Frugal Traveler. Their responses with we dont have someone with that name here are probably meant to deter you but it would be unwise to give a real name. What you wrote is not what was told. You used to use water to water the course and grass from the neighbors across and let them use the pool and fitness center for YEARS..then a new owner took over and took their priviledges away because we no longer needed the access. Pretty lousy so now they hate us.Now..the grass watering we are charged for.

Excellent place to stay. I took a tour on Wednesday with Aaron. He was a great rental agent, and answered all of my questions.All the staff are very helpful, and you can tell they love their job. And they are very honest about the costs of staying at the Waverly, and their approach has no pressure with great customer service.The units are clean and they have begun a massive updating project on their buildings and apartments. Its nice to be shown apartments and know you will be given a clean, up to date unit if you did choose to live there. No worry about bait and switching.The area is so peaceful and the grounds are clean. They have different price options. I only wish they were about 10-15 minutes closer to my work. If they were, I know I wouldve applied to stay there that day.

I have lived here over 20 years. I am very proud to be a part of the upgrading processes that are being done. I find the leasing staff to be very helpful and friendly in organizing and addressing any concerns I may be having. Dawn was great at following through to complete my requests.I recently had a lot of repairs and upgrades completed by one of the maintenance staff-Jim. He was friendly but most importantly efficient and took great pride in his work.Jim did an excellent job! Best maintenance person I have had in years.I look forward to continuing my residence- home here and witnessing a growing team effort..Long time resident- Loreen
