Testimonials

This as this being my first apartment experience I am very happy with my stay and the staff. I love that I can put in maintenance request on the app and they are taken care of in a timely manner. I really find this location great and affordable I get to walk to many locations nearby. I picked this complex since a wash machine and dryer is included in the unit. I truly enjoy my time here and highly recommend.

We moved to Forest Woods Apartments in January of 2024, and we have had a wonderful experience so far! Our leasing agent and she did a great job at communicating with us what the application + move-in process was with timely follow-up. There was also a move-in deal happening at the time that she made sure we received, which was much appreciated. The grounds, facilities, and units are in great shape.

It’s insane how smooth and efficient the process for maintenance is at Forest Woods. I’ve had a handful of requests for various things to be “fine tuned” in my unit and it’s so easy and quickly accomplished EVERY TIME. My most recent request was to fix the shower dial which I thought would take some time. Nope! They sent a really nice guy who was in and out in like less than ten minutes! Thank you to the Forest Woods team for their excellent support to tenant needs

Wonderful place to live. The maintenance team is quick and efficient, and the washer/dryer in each apartment is a dream. Also love the large kitchen and bathroom space.

The Forest Woods apartment complex is AWESOME. Not only do I have my own washer/dryer in unit, but the overall accommodations are very impressive. There’s even a community gym and pool! I can easily communicate with the office staff as they set it up so that you literally have like ten different ways to reach them. Any maintenance or inquiries you put in are met in like under a day…at least for me so far. Ha The location of this complex is private, but not secluded.

I’ve lived at Forest Woods for almost 2 years now - You can tell from the images it is a quaint environment, perfect for any student (quiet, friendly, etc.) - Lots of wild life you come across, and if they’re human, they’re friendly! - I really enjoy every experience I have with the staff in the office. They are consistently good at what they do and are ON IT. - Maintenance work is ALWAYS quick to be tended to when requested with rare exception - Dog friendly - big time perk.
