Hickory Hills Apartments

Nice quiet place.
Location is perfect.
Maintenance is quick and responsive if you need anything to be fixed.
Overall it's good to live here

I have been living here for three years now, and we love this place. Very quiet place as it’s only 4 apartment buildings, plus it’s located within the single homes area. The maintenance is doing a great job, always. There are washers and dryers in each apartment building. Small pool which is never, ever crowded even on the hottest of days. Always room for parking, a very clean place, no bed bugs/cockroaches issues. Lissette is always attentive to the needs of residents!

I have lived here 7 or 8 years now & I love it. Rental Agent "Lisette" (I hope I spelled that right) is very helpful. I had one complaint this past week and it was due to renovation of the apartment above mine. This is BOUND to make alot of noise. I called the rental office & left a message about it. I wasn't able to get to the phone in time when she called me back but she left a very pleasant message about the renovations being done above me.

And even though she said something to the effect of 'it has to be done, the noise will only be for another 3-4 days', approximately 1/2 hour later (and for days after) the noise wasn't as unbearable as it was prior to the phonecall. Hammers weren't being dropped onto the floor (my ceiling) after each use, and maintenance was no longer "stomping" in and out of the apartment.

Don't misunderstand me. I dont think they were being purposely noisy-I just believe they weren't aware of how the noise of a dropped/tossed hammer travels to the apartment below. Maintenance is very considerate, this is why I know the noise wasn't purposeful.

Can I say, the reason I moved here was because:
a. The complex is small & "homey" (also, no dogs are allowed, so I can walk on the grass without fear!)
b. The other residents are courteous & friendly.c. There are absolutely NO cockroaches (this was a major consideration for me when I was looking for an apartment years ago).
d. The security of having a locked entrance on each building.e. No crime, drug use, or "hanging out" outside the windows of peoples' apartments or in the parking lot.f. Parking is NEVER an issue.g. There is NEVER trash 'strewn about' anywhere on the grounds (because everyone respects one another here).

I should've posted a review alot sooner than this. Thank you for all you do, Lisette & Silvio! It is SO appreciated! Too bad I can only give 5 stars!

The area is great. That's the only upside of these apartments.
We were promised new appliances in our recently renovated rented apartment. One of the stove tops just starts gas but no fire comes out, which is pretty dangerous and the bathroom sink pipe is leaking underneath so much that we have to keep a bucket under it.
In the middle of the night, at around 4 am, our neighbors above start their day and drag us right along with them. The ceiling is so thinly made and their floor cracks so terribly, it feels like it will break any second. Every step they take is incredibly loud for us and we are unable to sleep after 4 am EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Our neighbors next door are also VERY audible. So much that you can hear their conversations if their phone is on speaker. I can hear every single word they're saying, their TV, even their snoring at night. The neighbors to the other side of us ALWAYS have their alarm ring until 10 am. None stop. It starts at around 7 am and just keeps going. Never shuts up. It is still ringing as I am writing this review. Maybe no one even lives there? I don't believe that someone would just leave and let it ring for this long. It is ridiculous. My point is that the walls in these apartments are just outrageous. They are so thin that it seems you have no privacy whatsoever. As if all the neighbors live in the same room. I can't even speak comfortably with my husband because I know there's someone ALWAYS able to hear us perfectly. I wouldn't recommend these apartments to anyone. Stay away.

Beautiful and quiet place. Everything is very clean and organized. Special thank you to Lisa. She is doing a great job.
