    Needs a dog park. The apartment complexes on both sides have a dog park. Makes me want to leave.

    5/5 Alicia on Nov 8, 2023

    We moved into the townhouse on Jan 1st of 2023. We have absolutely loved living here. The staff is very friendly, the maintenance crew is great, the grounds are pretty with the lake and the ducks and geese. The townhouse itself is very well maintained and I feel that it has been updated adequately. We planned on staying here for many years but we ended up getting a dog (who was welcomed by staff and residents) and we feel we need a yard. If we didn't need a large fenced yard, this would have been our permanent home for years to come.

    This building is winderful. Beautiful high ceilings. Vintage elegance is everywhere, but it feels safe and friendly not ‘boozshee’. The rental company and the maintenance staff are great. Noise travels, we are definitely aurally aware that other people are right nearby, both in the building and outside. Small price to pay for the rest of the living experience. We are really happy here. This is a good place.

    I live here

    5/5 Andrew M. on Aug 25, 2021

    The Township Apartment Homes, is probably the nicest and most understanding apartment complex I’ve lived at. I moved in to a 2 bed 1.5 bath townhome and have only lived here for a little over a month but have loved it ever since. I’ve only had one issue which was when ever it would rain the kitchen would (not flood) but get water in it. The maintenance team has always responded back within an hour of receiving the work order and always shows up immediately after the phone call. During this whole COVID-19 outbreak I was out of work for a week and then the following week my work had messed up my paycheck due to the pandemic. So I had to pay my rent 2 weeks late but the Township management team has been understanding and helpful in every way possible and have waived the late fees. I have amazing neighbors who actually want to be friendly every time they see you and all in all I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND The Township to anyone. A little on the pricier side but definitely worth it for the area, the team at the township, and the apartment it’s self. Sean and Maria have been amazing and helpful through the move in process as well as the delayed rent issue and waving the late fees. Thank you guys!
