Testimonials
OUTSTANDING!! The property itself is filled with trees, giving the complex an alpine resort feel; yet, it's just off a convenient road. But what really makes Commons at Creekside special is the management team. They are by far the friendliest and most efficient we have ever encountered. Our entire experience . . . from initial phone call through the application process was smooth and pleasant. I wish all apartment complexes were run like this one!!

So, I have lived in a lot of apartments. And The Commons is BY FAR the best I have ever lived at. The atmosphere of the grounds is amazing. My husband and I often compared it to the resort we honeymooned in. Walking to the hot tub in our swim suits while hearing the wildlife and the peaceful tranquility was hands down the best part of living there. My kids made so many great friends in the complex, and LOVED that the office was always more then happy to give them treats every time they stopped i

We are renting while saving to buy a house. We searched around for months and couldn't find a better deal than at Commons at Creekside. Any concern is quickly felt with by their friendly staff. Our affordable three bedroom apartment is backed by a beautiful forest, providing shade in the summer and lovely critters year-round. I love this apartment!

These apartments are in a great neighborhood with lots of parks around for kids. The apartments are set in a beautiful wooded area and are quiet. Amazingly maintained grounds and buildings. The apartments are a great size and have lots of storage. Bus stops and MAX lines are within walking distance. The walls are thick and you can't hear your neighbors!

My best apartment experience. Reasonable pet rent, heated pool that always looks clean, hot tub, water included, quiet, friendly tenants, helpful employees, well kept grounds, a 5 minute bike ride to the train, and regular improvements! Reasonable rent with updated kitchen and bathrooms are also a plus. I even got a free carpet cleaning when I resigned my lease.
