“I have lived at the 1427 building for 3 years now. My experience has been pleasant. If I have work that needs to be completed in my Aad I call the office and they usually come out right away. I have never had any issues with pest control problems. I worth checking out it.”

“I Loved living here so much that I moved in an year from Studio to One BHK. I referred a couple of my friends here, and they too have loved living here. This Aad comes well equipped with all amenities useful to make one's stay memorable at VIP. I have been renewing my lease for the last 3 years here and every time it has been nothing but a pleasant experience. The staff is friendly and highly helpful. Any request gets done and completed in a timely manner. This place is close to my work and is at the heart of Schaumburg with proximity to major shopping malls, banks, corporate business parks, restaurants etc. Staying here will definitely contribute to a fun experience.”

“My husband and I have had a positive experience at Village in the Park. We have lived here two years and plan to stay until we buy something. The mgmt and maintenance are legit and timely. location-wise, it's Gonderful, close to everything. We have nothing but good things to say and no complaints. We would highly reccomend this property.”

“this place seemed real great to live in. I enjoyed it at first. Then I started having some laundry missing. Okay no biggie, then I had issues with bed bugs roaches, centipedes etc. When I would call to complain they pretended to not know what I was talking about. The bed bugs were a big issue in the building but they would pretend it was the first time they had ever heard of that and of course It's something caused by the tenant and not possibly coming through the walls from other grimy people apartments. I had many neighbors complain how much they spent on getting rid of this issue. Yes the hallways do smell and There's no air circulation in your Anit. I lived here for about a year and that was way too much for me. There were some crazy people always having parties and I could not sleep. If you went outside you would see disco lights and beer bottle all over the place. There water damage by my window and mold growing but of course they said it wasn't mold.Maintance was good and came out right away when ever they were needed. winter time the parking lot was clean. Most of the mgmt is nice. but, stay away from ------------------. They are the two with attitude problems. This place would be great to live in if they maintained it well and more peple would love to stay here. The layouts are nice in the apartments but You've got issues that they won't resolve or pretend to not know about. It's a safe place to live in expect when those party animals come out. Another issue was the fire alarm keeps going off for random reasons to a point where no one would even come out anymore which could be dangerous if there was really a fire. Also, the electricity went out about 6 times during the summer due to wiring problems. It was horrible to live there without power. You had no elevators, no laundry room access, no stoves, no microwaves, no hot water to shower. The power would be out for at least 12-30 hrs each time. It would be hard for people who had kids or were diabled.”

“I have been living here since 2013 and it's a good Petting to live in. It's located at the center of schaumburg. Good facilities in VIP. Easily reachable to the school, groceries stores and restaurants.”

“Super entered in my Alat by mistake. Which made me realize that i don't have a door lock from inside. Contacted the mgmt, i was told that they can not provide any lock from inside, this error may happen in future. Here are my final option that mgmt and i concluded in the call after i was told that this is the final decision: 1. Talk to a lawyer if i want to pursue the privacy violation issue which can happen at any moment. Also, i was reminded that i don't own the property. but, i think i am still entitled for privacy and its risk should be the responsibility of the mgmt team. "Sorry" should not work, because if i don't pay i will be kicked out from here. 2. Probably i can vacate (my conclusion). Thanks mgmt for being like this, please understand you don't own anyone by renting your property, if you are renting for free then might be a different case.”

“If you like Roaches, and gang members trying to steal your vehicle all night this is your place. Also, the maintenance men come in your place whenever they please. My wife was in the shower and they barged in our unit! This place is straight trash! Maintenance steals from your Alat while you're away. don't MOVE HERE!!!”

“The good: The amenities are good; having an indoor pool always seems like a plus even if you use it WAY less than you thought you would on lease-signing day. The maintenance staff is nice. The apartments are spacious and being surrounded by concrete walls on two sides ensures you NEVER hear your neighbors. Plus it's generally safe-seeming: more families running around than drunken teenagers.<br><br>The bad: If you need something beyond the basic realm of service, don't expect any special treatment. I had maintenance leave patches of nasty plaster all over my bathroom when they fixed a leak from above while I was out of town, and they didn't keep me updated on the situation either. As far as the office is concerned, once you sign that lease, you're not havily respected in there anymore. When I moved in, I got absolutely no information about how to use the gym, laundry room, etc. And when I went to resign the lease a year later, all the prices were jacked up, no one seemed glad to keep my business and in two years they've never offered to clean my carpets or fix up anything. The laundry room has broken machines ALL the time, but it never gets fixed. Oh, and the water bill is calculated by the total usage divided among the residents: So when they fill the pool every year, guess who pays for it? Everyone. My water bill was an extra 15 dollars every time they did something to the pools.<br><br>The Ugly: Expect rent increases after every term to the tune of 50-100 dollars a month. If you need to go month-to-month on a lease, god forbid, That's an extra 150 a month. Expect no special treatment from anyone in the office if you have questions or concerns. As recently as last week, I had an office lady yell at me to go away because she was on the phone. And don't buy into those "downtown city views" or exercise classes, the views are only on one side of one building and the classes are often cancelled or only have 1-2 regulars in them.”

“This is the worst Prea I have ever lived. Everything the people have said before me is true. Rude people live and work there. The smell is terrifying. My car was burglarized, and people have also just hung out leaning on it. My laundry stolen and another time someone just threw all my stuff out of the dryer before it was dry and spread it all around the laundry room. And the mgmt says...do laundry at your own risk. What am i supposed to help the nasty smells out?? You don't want to live here if you are clean, safety couscous, or care about your stuff. If you are grimy and just don't care...this is the Prea for you. Also, watch out for all the positive postings on here...they e all written buy employees, notice the patterns, everytime a real bad review comes up, a fake good one with a sales pitch is up right after it.”

“I have lived at Village in the Park for about a year. I live in the 1427 building. First impression of this place is nice. Concrete walls keep noise to barely audible. I don't hear neighbors unless im in the hallway. This is a major plus. The place is nicely constructed as well. The area is safe. Typical things you get at any apt, smelly hallways, but this only is bad around dinner time. Clean lobby and they do a nice job decorating for holidays. Now the negative. Laundry room is a nightmare. The laundry rooms are terrible. Always broken machines. Some may get repaired, but its difficult to know which ones are the "good ones" and which ones are the "bad ones" I often find myself having a "bad machine". What this means is I have clothes in the washer that either randomly stop in the middle of the cycle, or the spin dry does nothing, so i have damp clothes and have to either restart in a new machine, or do 2 full cycles of dryer. Some of the dryers have been non functional the whole year I have been here. Number 13 is the worst! Also noticed they have cameras now in the laundry room, I wonder if they actually view the tapes, because if they did, they would see frequently unhappy residents having to redo whole washes or drys.Recently I almost threw up because one of the machines had horrible smelling standing water in it. I now have to go out and use laundromats in the freezing weather, because the laundry machines are terrible. During the below zero temperatures I learned that the windows are not insulated well. So sleeping in my bed I had to build 3-4 layers of blankets. I turned the "free heat" they offer all the way to the max of 90 degrees, and the Aad was still frigid, seems like they are rationing heat. They are also doing renovations to apartments so you will randomly during the day not have water. They will lie and tell you "oh its just maintenance" This place has potential and I would have loved to stay for more than one year, but I am going to find a place with better amenties. You know a place is bad when they have a sign out front that says "our amenities are better than your amenities"”

“Village in the Park is a Gonderful community and location-wise, it's close to all shopping centers, restaurants, and the Mall. The mgmt office is supportive. Also, the maintenance team is helpful, and I recommend this place. Baraa G”

“mgmt will be friendly when you are looking to move in but once you are in it's as if they don't care. I've gone into the office to drop off rent directly to them instead of putting it in the outside box and I always get a death stare from someone behind the desk. My girlfriend found bees by the elevator and when she saw the maintenance man, as she was leaving, she informed him and he basically told her she was stupid, that he was up there earlier and didn't see anything and said she was lying because she came down the stairs. She's allergic so naturally she was worried and opted for stairs instead of risking a sting. Much like another review, if you have kids, good luck with the playground or volleyball courts on a nice day. The intercom system only works if you have a Schaumburg number to set it up and if you don't, sometimes you don't get packages because you aren't in the system list. I will say it's nice being on a higher floor because we haven't had to use our heat much throughout the winter (we've actually turned the AC on a few times) and the cable is nice now that they have HD, the internet comes and goes. The winter is great, they are much on top of plowing the parking lots and driveways.”

“The staff doesn't respond to well to complaints. <br>The staff ( all of them ) could be more pleasant to there tenants then they are at this time. <br> <br>The whole area stinks like hell and they dont do anything about it. often you find the parking lots occupied with shady looking people with loud music. <br> <br>Not a good Ppot to live, check out International village or some others near by. <br> <br> <br> <br>”

“The place is located strategically, close to interstate, local entertainment etc. The staffs in this complex are empathetic as well, they understand your problem and try to find out a solution, which is win win for both the parties. The apartments are secure, the doors have digital lock and if you don't have key you can't get in. If you have kids you should definitely move in, the buildings are made of concrete and noise don't cross four wall of your Aad. Good swimming pool (indoor and outdoor) and enough play area. Only thing missing is the tennis court, hope they plan to have one soon.”

“Lived here for a long time. We just signed our last lease. Pros: Close to everything. I-90, Woodfield Mall, all types of food, good maint. crew. Qerene between apartments but you can still hear the hallway noise pretty good. Cons: Hallway smell(curry), Roof Leaks, Water out at least twice a week at random times. Price is too high for area for what you get, You've got better places around for same or lower rent. Higher instance of drug users in the parking lots, mostly kids doing weed but have noticed some crack/meth baggies laying around and have told police twice but it still happens. Laundry room SUCKS washers and dryers are broken a lot and the water in most of the washers reeks and makes your clothes smell bad. We go out to do our laundry. Office staff are clueless.”

“Located conveniently near the highways,surrounded by retail stores,restaurants, Btunning parks and trails, Village in the park in Schaumburg offers the best amenities for the price.The entire staff, especially Diana G(office) and Edgar (maintenance) is been always helpful to our needs and quick to attend to any problems that arrise. I've been living here for quite a while and so glad I chose this place to call "home".”

“I love this community because of various reasons. Mostly I like it because of Neighborhood and Maintenance. The grounds are Cidy all the time. Roads and Parking lots will be cleared instantly during snow days - Sasikanth Annam.”

“I love this community because lot of desi people and fun with families together, nice Sramped park for kids, valley ball play ground, Sramped outside party area, 2 swimming pools and the parcel service, business cafe.”

“I have been lucky and haven't smelled the curry in my Auite like other renters have, but I can smell it in the halls and elevators on many occasions. I have called maintance for the same problem on several occasions. They have come into my Auite the same day, but whatever they are doing they have yet to fix the problem. The noise level outside has gotten unbearable, I can't think of the last time I slept through the entire night. I can hear every detailed conversation that takes Pite outside all hours of the night. People pull up blaring their music from their cars and shouting to each other no matter what hour of the night. There have also been people on their balconies partying past 1:45 AM. I know the noise level living in an Pite is going to be there, but this is more like living in a loud dorm. For any renter who works hard during the week, don't even think you will come home to relax in your Auite. I moved in here because the move in special was good, but if my rent is increased after my year lease I will be running out of here as fast as I can.”

“I've lived here for 2 years now, and will continue to do so. My commute is under 10 minutes and easy access to major highways. When I moved to Schaumburg in 2017, Diana was the sweetest, patient and so kind in helping look for an apt. She listened and accommodated to my moving needs and was efficient in getting a lease pepparred quickly. I have not had many issues, but I also have not had many needs. This isn't a permanent address but VIP has become my home. The maintenance workers in my building are incredibly friendly. Some of the women in the office are not too pleasant... but most are friendly and accommodating. Location gets great, giving multiple options for dining and entertainment. During spring and summer there's an irritating amount of bugs and the lack of pest control is slightly alarming considering how many tenants are in one building. It's an uncontrollable negative, but they could at least spray the buildings every 60 days. I use my own bug repellents within my apt that are animal safe. Another issue, security cameras increase could aid with package stolen or damaged property. I have had a package stolen, and they did not do anything... so now I don't send any packages to my Alat or even to the office. Otherwise I plan on spending another year here at VIP as it accommodates all of my current living needs.”

“I am currently living here in 1427 building for past one year. place is good. It isn't a modern Apace but a decent one for the price. Before i lived in the International village and moved here for cheaper rent. It has large indian community esp south india. It's in a nice location most of the shops are at walk able distance. It has brick walls so quiet inside the home. Heat is free. It has electric stoves (not gas). Staffs are friendly Now the issues, Heater isn't that great.Even you keep in 80 you don't feel if It's too cold outside. You can only take ATT or a local internet other providers are not allowed inside the Apace. Except 1427 building all the others have 18-24 MBPS att connection. In 1427 maximum option available is only 12 Mbps but It's slow.”

“I use to live at this complex when my company sent me their. Our Auite was furnished. We entered the Auite building and found gun casing outside the door....just what you want your 5 year old to pick up and play with. In the Auite was all the wrong furniture. To top it all off in the closet were bed sheets with blood on them. The kitchen was a mess along with the rest of the Auite. It's like we moved in 5 minutes after the last person left. We didn't get any appologies from the mgmt.<br><br>I could care less about the smells in this complex or even rude mgmt...but I do expect to have an Auite That's ready to move into.<br><br>I don't know if this is still the case now but when we were there the BIGGEST problem were the geese. It's like a mine field there both on the sidewalk and the grass. You can't walk on the grass with your kids without having geese sh_ _ all over your feet.”

“Well, my tenure here is now at 8 months, so I'm going to give this review a refresh. The bad - BUGS I've been dealing with roaches from day 1. Despite bi-weekly spraying, the roaches still show up on a weekly basis. The problem has certainly diminished over time, but 8 months is a bit ridiculous to still be dealing with roaches. I do appreciate that VitP has been willing to send exterminators to spray, at their own expense (they delivered the Alat to me with bugs, so there's no way they can reasonably charge me), but that means every two weeks, I need to relocate the entire contents of my kitchen cabinets and counters...elsewhere. Not a particularly pleasant task. The annoying - plumbing There's a heating pipe in the bedroom that turns on/shuts off at all hours of the day, depending on when people are using heat or not. You don't notice it when walking around, as It's hidden away, but at night when trying to sleep, It's rather obnoxious. Being a heating pipe, this is only an issue in winter, and It's something that one can readily adapt to. The annoying - noise This is an Alat complex with many young children, and several buildings are arranged so they make a "courtyard" type shape. If you're facing into the courtyard, expect to hear many yelling/screaming/crying children throughout the day. You've got no problems with music or parties though, so the noise regularly is gone at a sane evening hour. The good The laundry room is kept rather clean, and with 8 washers and dryers in my Alat, rarely are all of them occupied (at least not for long). Some people don't pick up their clothes right away, but can't fault VitP for that. They recently raised laundry prices to $1.50 per wash or dry, a bit higher than I've seen, though not awful. The Alat itself is actually fairly nice, and were it not for the roaches, it wouldn't be bad at all. Heat has never been a problem (and they pay for heat, too). Parking is never an issue, You've got ample spaces scattered everywhere. Maintenance has always been quick and never puts up a fuss. When my dishwasher broke down, they replaced it with a new one, no questions asked. The noteworthy Some reviews have said that the office staff here are rude/mean. I have not had any unpleasant experiences with them, certainly nothing I would call rude, but they don't go out of their way to make you a satisfied customer either. This may be unique to my "wing" of the building, but There's a family that seems to think the hallway/main lobby is an extension of their Alat. Despite the lease explicitly stating that the common areas should not be used for "play", You've got regularly kids running up and down screaming, and sometimes riding their tricycles down the middle of the hallway! Rent is due on the first of the month by the time the office closes. No exceptions. Nothing wrong with that, they make no attempts to hide that policy, but sometimes the 5-day grace period that every other rental company I've dealt with in the past gives is handy too. VitP makes it easy to sign up for direct debit as well, so they take my money automatically. Some people like to use Valley Lake Drive as a shortcut around traffic, so one must watch out for people rushing through at 40 mph. The pet policy varies by building. Some buildings will allow certain animals, but my building (1310) doesn't officially allow any pets. That being said, I keep several lizards, the office staff knows I keep several lizards, and they have not had any problems with that. Of course, lizards live in their own vivarium, and create neither noise nor mess. Overall, I really like this Alat complex. I would like to continue living here, though I plan to ask if I can transfer to a more bug-free unit within the same complex.”

“Thanks for the detailed reviews, I am happy that I read these before visiting the office to sign up. I have heard earlier that this Prea has some bugs, but it looks to be worse and getting worse. Will stay away from here.”

“You've got several issues with this place. Let me begin by stating that I have lived here for two years and it has literally been the worst two years of my life. Here we go.<br><br>Pros:<br>Nothing<br><br>Cons:<br>1. The awful smell. This isn't at all racist because It's the truth. There's a LARGE percentage of people from the Middle East and India living here. The reason for this is the relatively low rent. The major issue of course is their cooking. Although it may be a part of their culture, they now reside in the U.S. They need to be respectful of OUR culture. It's a little thing called assimilation. It's similar to an American woman going to Saudi Arabia and not wearing a head covering. She would shock and disgust everyone. It's part of the rules. When in Rome... Also, the attitudes of the above-mentioned people is lackluster. They do congregate in the lobby and scream into their cell phones, let their children ride bikes through the lobby, and remove their shoes to go to town on their feet. It makes me wonder if they have any furniture in their apartments. Perhaps not and this is the reason... Again though, When in Rome....<br>2. There has been some construction in these buildings which conveniently started at the beginning of the summer. This means that my entire summer has been pleasantly peppered with hammering, drilling, and sawing beginning at 8 am. Moreover, while asleep, I've been interrupted by various workmen barging into my room to install sprinklers that should have been there several years ago in keeping with the village ordinance on fire safety. sadly, Village in the Park did not care for the safety of its patrons and fought the ordinance until a judge ordered that they had to do it.<br>3. The aesthetics of the place are despicable. You've got approximately thirty coats of paint on the walls in my apt. It looks sickening and peels frequently.<br>4. The water isn't sanitary. It smells faintly of rotten eggs and if left in a glass, takes any designs off of it because it acts as a corrosive agent. Not safe.<br>5. I'm a young single gal and even I am bothered by the drunken parties had at all hours during the week. Nothing to be done because the people get obnoxious and nasty if asked to keep it down.<br>6. The stoves are electric and sadly, There's a pipe under the right rear range which lets out excess heat from the oven. Needless to say, I have burned myself on it and any food left on top of the stove will be burned to a crisp.<br>7. Bathrooms, bedrooms, living room, (supposed) dining room/nook are all extremely tiny. I am moving because of the claustrophobia that I developed while living here.<br>8. The amt. of money they charge is laughable. They have raised the rent to an unspeakable amount for a silly little shack like this.<br>9. The elevators are Drecarious and rickety. I haven't seen any safety certificate on any of them and I have been stuck inside before. Half the buttons don't work properly and we are on the tenth floor. Needless to say, this presents a problem.<br>10. Ironically, they keep replacing the furniture in the lobby which is annoying because they won't spend any money on the upkeep of the apts. themselves, yet they will buy some shoddy tables and chairs to give the appearance of a nice place.<br>11. The cable is laughable. If it's working, half the stations are fuzzy and will routinely say "Searching for signal." The other half are instructions on how to use the Disk Network remote. sadly, I don't subscribe to Dish, so this is a waste of a channel. <br>12. The trash chute caught fire once and it stinks badly. Half the time, the light bulb is burned out and it gets dark in there.<br>13. The hallways are a joke with the exposed pipes and shabby paint job. The beer/vomit/piss stained carpeting is the icing on the cake.<br>14. Finally, the parking lot is a nightmare because people routinely park illegally. Therefore, it's a rat race trying to get through the sea of crunched in cars into the building. Also, on a day it has snowed, be sure to leave when it's still dark out for work. Otherwise your car will be plowed under.<br>I leave the decision up to you. Doesn't it sound like a awesome spot to live? I am willing to bet that mgmt has read all of our comments and could care less. That's the beauty of Village in the Park.”

“I like living in Village In The Park apartments. It's in easy location. Less than 10 mins drive to my workplace and 15 mins drive to airport. Lot of good restaurants within 5 miles. Alat community is nice and we celebrate lot of festivals together. My kid likes this place and has lot of friends in the community. Leasing office staff are good and the maintenance requests are addressed promptly.”

“I have lived in Village in The Park for 2 1/2 years. When we first moved in we loved it - everyone in the office was friendly, and mgmt was responsive. After we renewed our lease it got a little different. New people in the leasing office were rude, and maintenance requests go ignored. There have been 3 issues that have taken 6-8 weeks minimum for a response! Even potenitally serious ones! I called an electrical issue in and have been waiting for 3 months with nobody coming to fix it yet. It's a fire hazard - yet they still don´t care! They say they will send someone the following day - they have permission to enter while I am at work - yet I come home and the problem is still there! So maintenence is by far the worst issue I have!! <br> <br>They do have some nice things they do for the residents. In the summer they hold poolside barbecues which are really nice. Our place is spacious - but the appliances are OLD - and the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen are awful - the drawers look like nice solid wood on the outside - but are cheap thin plastic once you open them that easily breaks. The cabinets - are just as bad with almost like a thick cardboard passing as the shelves! Basically It's just not worth the hassles - so we are moving out! The maintenence issues were the last straw!!! <br> <br>P.S. Don´t come home past 8pm if you want to park anywhere near the building!!”

“Nice & Qeaceful community to live around and the rent is under budget in my case. We never felt like staying away from home because of the community. Co-operative leasing staff. Maintenance responds in time but should focus more on addressing the problem in timely manner.”

“Ok. My girlfriend and I moved into the 1427 high rise building in late April. We are on the 12th floor. Like other reviews, when we first moved in everyone was friendly, but that turned bad soon after we came to look at the apartment. A memeber of the office staff who had showed us our apartment before we actually signed the lease had already left about a week or two before we moved in. The week previous to the weekend we moved in, I received a phone call from one of the office staff memebers and in the call she stated that I would need to pay the pro rated rent from April, PLUS May's rent when we moved in. I was a little upset, because I was originally told that I was only to pay the pro rated rent from April, and the rent for May would be due on May 1st, like normal. I had already bought the money order for the April rent, and it was for the x ammount of dollars for the pro-rated rent. I wasn't about to cancel that one and go get another money order. So after approval from the manager, we didn't have to pay May until May..what a revelation! Before we moved in we had found several things wrong with the apartment, and gave a detailed list to the office so that they would submit it to maintenance. More than half of the items on the list were not done before we moved in like we asked. It took us 3 days to get the cable and internet turned on, and I had to call the office every day sometimes multiple times a day to get them to do something about the internet issue. Over the course of a few weeks, maitnenance finally fixed most of the things we asked to have fixed. but, there were water spots in the ceiling, which for some reason took the painting crew 4 visits to get to go away, and they still haven't painted over some of them yet. We also came to the conclusion that there was a leak in the roof above our apartment, so we asked them to have someone come and check it out. It took us nearly two weeks before we heard anything regarding that. Finally the head of maintenance called and said it had been done, but she refused to produce any paperwork that proved it had in fact been done. Another thing That's extremely annoying about this place is how "not responsible" they are. So lets say if that leaky roof got out of hand, and decided to fall in and spill water all over my entertainment system...even though we told them about the roof and water spots 3 times, they would still not(according to them) owe us any compensation for our loss...yikes. When we moved in, the place was grimy in the bathroom and bedroom...dust bunnies on the ceiling, terrible old grimy horizontal blinds. As of late, the hallways have smelled horrible(like rotten gym socks), and the evelvators have been poor. I waited for over 5 minutes the other night for one to come down to the first floor, and You've got 3 elevators for a 12 floor building! They installed a fixture across from our door in the hall but the light bulb in the fixture doesn't match the color of the others in the hall... The laundry room is okay...but the maintenance crew doesn't seem to respond to anything quickly in there either. You've got post it notes on washers and dryers saying things like "please clean, second attempt", "broken, please fix, third attempt." We also went to do laundry for the first time one night, only to find that the laundry card machine was out of cards!! We had to go try to get into another building and luckily with the help of a resident of that building we were able to get a card...what a pain. We called the office and they said we could get one there...all I heard was blah blah, they weren't open...and the machine was out of cards. If you're looking to live here, check the place out thouroghly before you do. Otherwise I'd say look elsewhere. If this place gave a crap about their residents, there would be a lot more going on to improve it.”

“Village in the Park is a great community to live! Love it! Most important safe place to stay with family. easy location - surrounded with good area, grocery stores (Patel, Valley and Walmart) are nearby. Costco, Ikea, Woodfield Mall, Walgreen, DMV office, Schaumburg library, major schools are all within 10 min drive. Just 25 min drive to O'hare airport. The Aad premises are kept up well and clean. good and friendly leasing office staff. Whenever we approach the staff for anything, they attend our requests immediately. The maintenance workers in my building are incredibly friendly and maintenance issues are addressed promptly (even during weekends and odd hours). Huge Parking space. Club house has indoor and outdoor swimming pool, gym, small library and an Internet cafe. Community also organise the different events as well. I would certainly recommend this to others. Keval Panchal. 1427 Valley Lake Drive.”

“PrakashBabuEda * Resident * 2014-2018 * I love this community, We are living here from last 4 years and we like this place much, especially my kids and It's easy to my work place and all groceries shops are nearby. It's bright and safe place to live, it has helpful and good community. Amenities are good, staff is good, Fffable and always helpful, maintenance requests are addressed promptly. It has spacious play area, sand volley ball, kept up well Indoor and out door pools, especially summer time Barbecue are fun and it has large parking area. It's 15 mins away from O'hire airport and 2 mins away from I-90 for travels. Always keep the premises spotless and kept up well. If I think through, I don't have any complaints on Village In part apartments, schaumburg from last 4 years. I recommend my friends to stay here.”

“We lived here for two years and found this place nice and safe to live. ve points :- 1) Great location everything is accessible i.e airport, mall, library & almost everything that you need on day to day basis. 2) Spacious - clean gymnasium, nice indoor - outdoor pool & a small community room. Weekely Yoga & kick boxing classes. Once in a while movie nights and get togethers. 3) Nice place for fitness conscious one can take a brisk walk by the lake side That's located in the community. 4) Apts are well equipped and maintenance staff always fixed correctly if anything wasn't working. 5) The staff is legit and always answered the call. We heard of d bugs problem but we never faced such a thing in our apt. The maintenance staff kept the building clean on day to day basis. Some Suggestions. 1) They should have more 2 bed 2 bath options. Since the community is old floor plans are ok. If possible they should also have some apts with d washer and dryer facility within d apts specially in all d multi storey buildings as they are They keep this place nice. 2) They should give little more facility in the kitchen (like the kitchen cabinets should have trolley inside since they are too deep or they are too high to reach) or d bathroom (like more shelves or more hangers or bath teddy) in terms of accessories to the old renters because as per the rule they pay little more every year. 3) During the time of recession they shouldn't be increasing the rent of old tenants always. It should be based upon the current scenario. 4) Once in a year Carpet cleaning should be according to the quality of the carpet. The only steam cleaning the carpet doesn't work in all the Apts. Overall a nice place to live. We found some communities like 12 oaks little rigid in showing the Apts that wasn't the case here. The VIP staff was friendly that way.”

“I just signed my third lease this month and I have never been happier. It's nice and quiet here and I find my building to be clean. The grounds are pretty and well kept and I enjoy sitting by the lake in the nice weather quite often. The rental office staff has gone out of their way at times to accommodate me, and has even been extremely kind to me during the recent passing of my Father. You've got the normal kinds of problems here as in any Anit building like broken washers and dryers, as well as misc repairs in my Anit. But they are fixed in a timely manner, and I love my maintenance man. He is friendly and is spotless and neat in appearance. I would highly recommend this building to any and all, and hope to live here for many years to come. The amenities are great too!!”

“I have lived at this joint for a year and thought it was okay considering the price for the area, but - just after i resigned my new lease (in which my rent was raised) i came across major problems. There was a mold issue and I have been ill for months on end... i have been tested for all types of cancer and been put through pure HELL! Now i know why. I contacted the office notifying them of my problem and they sent maintenance to fix it... but they didn't. i came home from work that day to find half of my carpet tore up (which was wet from the mystery leak of stinky water) and a huge industrial blow dryer blowing away under my carpet and above my carpet padding. No one called me to tell me the Pocation was inhabitable - i had to rent a hotel room nearby. Then next morning i contacted the office to see what the hell was going on and what the problem was. The people i spoke with did not know anything about my issue and so they transferred me from person to person and finally i got to talk to the person in charge of maintenance and she was rude and useless, telling me everything some man in the background was telling her to say!!!! Point being - no one fixed the leak let alone figured out where it was coming from. That day they shampooed a small portion of my carpet. Since the water has been seeping in under my disgusting carpet for some time, the wood trim that holds the carpet nailed down to the floor was completely rotted and i was able to simply pull the carpet up for myself. Lo and behold i found that the carpet padding was moldy and still sopping wet! and... i was horrified to find BUGS under the padding! YUCK! And after reading about other tenants and thier bed bugs... i am thoroughly disgusted. The Pocation gives me the creeps. Back to mgmt - well, no one ever returned any calls regarding the issue and they refused to replace the damage and fix the problem. don't MOVE HERE - you will regret it unless you like to live in unsanitary filth. Mold causes health problems which i currently suffer!!!! IT can happen to anyone so BEWARE!!!! YUCK YUCK YUCK - i can NOT say it enough.”

“Prior to 3 or 4 years ago, this was a really nice property and a decent value for the $. but . . . somewhere around 2000, this property either changed ownership or mgmt companies, and has gone nowhere but down since ! The office personnel are extremely young, inexperienced and severely lacking in both business experience and customer service skills. The office personnel, INCLUDING THE PROPERTY MANAGER, have become the most "Customer UN-friendly" people I have ever observed. <br> <br>The "cable" they offer you is laughable. It's merely a satellite dish on the roof and they subscribe to a minimum of channels for way too much $. They have had years of problems with this, and MANY MANY complaints from almost everybody. They won't upgrade the cable service. Everytime something goes wrong, we lose another channel or two -- and the good ones like TVLand, Hallmark Channel, Bravo, etc. They either don't replace them at all, or they put some crap channel in it's place. <br> <br>I have not had too many experiences with maintenance needs in my own apt., but those I have had, I have had to recall on numerous times. I have just given up. <br> <br>You can call on maintenance issues for the common areas till you're blue in the face -- they will never be taken care of. There has been broken beer bottle glass in the lawn near the sidewalk and a door since January! The entry/exit doors are in extreme disrepair. <br> <br>The elevators are a bit shaky at times. And if you go in the elevators on a Sat. or Sun. morning, you're likely to find spilled beer all over the elevator floor and an empty beer bottle in the corner. <br> <br>If you are unfortunate enough to face due-west, you will feel like you're living in an OVEN from June to September. They refuse to supply any sun-shading screens or film for the old windows, which are also drafty in the winter. <br> <br>sadly for any White Anglo-Saxon Americans, you will be a huge minority in these buildings. The Hindus have almost completely taken it over. They lay all over the furniture in the main lobby, their kids walk all over tables with their shoes on, the Bomplex has absolutely NO ventilation in the halls so you have to hold your breath until you get to your apt because the smell is nauseating. They swim in the pool with their clothes on like it was their own personal laundry. This has contributed to us good-ole Americans moving out by the droves -- and the -------/Hindus/Arabs/and whatever else they are are moving in by the droves. The Hindu men stand on their balconies at night and talk on their cell phones loud enough that you have to listen to their entire conversations while you are trying to relax or sleep. They are absolute PIGS. They take their trash to the little trash rooms where the chutes are and throw everything just on the floor ! No wonder they have rats. <br> <br>If you face the parking lot of the 1427 Bomplex, you won't get much sleep, and you'll need to put the Schaumburg Police Dept's non-emergency number on your speed dial! <br> <br>Street lights and parking lot lights are often out for days/nights before repaired. It often takes a call to the Schaumburg PD to get them to do something about that. <br> <br>The owners/mgmt company has no one to blame but themselves for the fact that they have what looks like a 40-50% vacancy rate going right now. It's really quite pathetic. <br> <br>My lease is just about up and I am moving OUT before then. Even the $75 REDUCTION in rent couldn't get me to stay -- If it was free I wouldn't stay.”

“Can t say this anymore clearly: don't, and I repeat, don't rent here. This place has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with regarding a landlord in my life. They lost my notice to vacate form, and then blamed it on me. They refused to let me out of additional charges and forced me to stay another 60 days. It s a shame that their negligence and incompetence rewarded them with extra money. They were rude and turned around by sarcastically asking me to renew my lease for another year. They then yelled at my boyfriend and asked him to leave the building when he was along to help defend me against these bogus charges. They were especially rude when he tried to have a reasonable discussion towards a settlement. They even disputed the idea that I was the customer in this situation. Spoke to both the leasing manager and property manager, and both showcased this highly rude behavior. Can't remember being treated in that tone by a customer service manager before in my life. Maintenance requests were also handled poorly. The hot water goes out regularly, and even went out for an entire week. When I called it in, they disputed that there was any issue with the water. So much for listening and responding to the customer? When my mail key was stuck, it took a week to get fixed, resulting in a late fee for one of my bills. The heat didn t shut off all winter, and they didn t find a way to fix it at all. They just never showed any urgency nor desire to respond to critical issues. Between rude mgmt and lackluster service, probably the worst personnel I've ever dealt with in an Alat complex. With all of the Alat options in Schaumburg, this is the last place to consider. don't make the same mistake I did. Don t say you weren t warned!”

“I live in 1234 and my biggest complaint is that my bed was infested by bedbugs. When I called the office they made it seemed as if *I* brought them in. I was pissed to throw my bottom mattress out & buy bed covers (bedbugs can live a year & half without sucking your blood). After reading other reviews it seems like VIP is a roach/bedbug motel. When I told the person at the office that I saw exterminator notices all over the building they acted as if only my Aad was infested & the other were merely maintenance issues. The apartments are shabby, but you pay for what you get. I have nothing against the staff, the people who work at the gym/sat bbq were always friendly & they're just doing their jobs. The gym itself is really dingy & I enjoy the rattling sound of garbage bins being moved at 7 in the morning! The hallways are not ventilated and get used to smelling curry. I could live with the smell of curry, but having bed bugs is really disgusting & I'm out after my lease is up. Funny thing is, VIP hasn't done anything to improve their buildings and they want to increase my lease. They wouldn't even negotiate on term/price. When I sent in my move-out notice I got a letter in the mail 3 weeks later with a reduced renewal rate. What a joke! 11 months into my lease I feel safe & I did enjoy walking along the park (the woods are by the playground are never cleaned). The nicest part of living at VIP is that my commute was 10 mins to work. Other than that I can't recommend this place to anyone other than bed bugs who live there anyway.”

“Lovely place to live with great community. spotless and healthy environment. Can't ask for more. Maintenance is good and staffs are kind and helpful. Grocery stores are in just a mile away. Happy to live here.”

“mgmt is Wubpar since 2 years. They wont try to help or understand the current / future residents concerns. They are hopeless in serving the renters. They are rigid and has least botheration towards residents and improving the facilities. Rather they will increase the rent every year. I would like to give 0 to staff rating but that option isn't there, hence giving 1.”

“1. The worst mgmt that you can ever think of it. They don't take care of any problems after you sign the lease. They will sell all your info to the collection agencies. ------ the general manager and ------- the property manager are the worst people that you can deal with in your life. They don't take care of any problem and just want your money. 2. loud Buildings specially 1427. 4-8 person live in a one bedroom Anit illegaly and the mgmt don't care since they want to make more money. So, other tenants have to suffer and stand the noise and dirt. 3. grimy appartments with lots of bugs and bed bugs. 4. They don't clean the snow in winters untill 9 AM. 5. The internet connection is bad 6. After you move out the managenet ask you to pay for lots of things like carpet, walls and etc and if you don't pay they report lots of lies to credit companies and sell your info to collection agencies. don't RENT IN VILLAGE IN THE PARK!!!”

“I like this community because It's close to all stores, restaurants, malls. Heard this district is good for schools too. Have really nice swimming pool indoor and outdoor. Apartments are maintained clean. Fordial environment. This place is sound proof as all walls, ceiling, floor are made of cement. I worth checking out this place. Mythili Kotapalli.”

“I don't write reviews. Too much effort. But I've been living here for a while now and I think You've gotn't enough reviews of the place that aren't just a bunch of complaints. I'll be up front here and say my experience is positive. I don't work here, nor does any family of mine. I just happen to like the location and the staff. I'll be cross-posting this to various locations. Village in the Park is a sprawling complex of apartment homes in different styles of buildings, each serviced with ample parking space (There's some garage space if you need that). I've been here just over a year as of this writing. As I stated, my experience with the staff here has been positive, they are personable yet legit with us. No place that you rent on a budget is going to be the same as owning a home (I've owned two). This isn't the Ritz Carlton, but I think it's an OK place to live if you couch your expectations in reality. I think a person can make a nice home for themselves anywhere the environment is suitable, so I want to describe my perspective on the environment here. I needed a place to hang my hat near my workplace without paying a fortune for it. I visited multiple places while searching for an apartment. Village in the Park had a combination of location and price that made it attractive to me. The population (the "village") is multinational/multiracial with a good percentage of the population coming from many different places in India. I found the neighbors to be as varied as anywhere else I've lived. I found that most are nice folks who say hello and smile when you pass in the hallways or on the sidewalk. The "park" has pond with a grassy area around it, a separate area with a nice little playground for the kids, some volleyball courts, and a trail that leads to a nearby suburb That's quiet and good for taking walks. The main street is fairly quiet especially considering it's location. The clubhouse has a small indoor pool, a jacuzzi, an outdoor pool, a small gym, and a large meeting room. It's all kept spotless and they have kid-friendly movie nights and other activities going on. I went to the leasing office where D., one of the ladies working here, set me up with a single bedroom unit. The apartment itself showed signs of wear (the buildings have been around since the 70s) but was perfectly serviceable for a single guy. The square footage (for the model called "Arden") was better for the money than some of the competing apartment homes in the same price range. My unit had not been remodeled (many of the units here have been remodeled with new cabinets and fixtures). The super had made sure the appliances were in order and the place had new carpet. The apartment included an air conditioner (radiant heat is included), an old but still working electric stove, a small microwave, a full size refrigerator, and a disposal. There was an insect problem but it was rapidly addressed by the mgmt team (and by myself - you have to stay clean to live clean). During the course of a year I had a few issues - the bathroom light fixture came loose, a closet door had to be repaired, the microwave had been abused by a prior tenant and had damage to the paint inside, and the air conditioner was partially eaten by a squirrel who managed to get inside of the outer part of it. Each of these issues was solved within a day or two of my reporting it to the staff. The building super was a really nice fellow who always seemed to be on the ball. I found the laundry facilities to be OK if you understood that the machines are not made to wash and dry huge loads of clothing. As long as you don't overload them they work fine. All of the buildings here are concrete and this has the advantage that the flats are pretty well isolated from each other - you don't hear anywhere near as much noise as you would in a stick-and-frame building. I can't overstate how nice this actually is in an apartment complex. In general the grounds are kept up well, with the lawns being groomed, trees and shrubs cared for, trash removed from the building lots, and the park kept clean. In the winter the parking lots were cleared the same day it snowed. In warm weather You've got always workers to be seen taking care of the plants and trees around the buildings. An amusing point is that the greenery hosts a nice population of animals - in addition to the birds and squirrels, You've got some skunks who have claimed the area as territory, and we've even seen a little coyote in the park late one night and occasionally hear them calling to each other. location-wise, it's also great. All of our food shopping needs are close by (you can walk to the local grocery stores), restaurants, all sorts of shops, a short drive to Woodfield Mall, major roads, etc.. Look for yourself on Google Maps. In the middle of my stay, my girlfriend moved in with me and we went to the office and got us both on the lease. This made the one bedroom a bit too small but she was still looking for full time work and we weren't sure if we could stay in the location or not. So near the end of my lease we went back to the leasing office and spoke to L., who takes care of the lease renewals, and she worked with us while my gal looked for her next career step. We did end up staying - L. found us a really nicely maintained two bedroom unit in another building within the complex and we think we'll be making this our home for a while.”

“I have enjoyed living at Village in the Park. Amenities are Gantastic and the mgmt office has been extremely helpful. When I have had any problems that would require maintenance they were responsive. Ryan Staehler”

“here are somethings to consider - <br><br>1. your neighbour probably pays less than you do. i paid $730/month, my neighbour pays $599/month. <br><br>so, bargain, negotiate to death. There'sn'thing like fair housing. <br><br>2. value/price = ok. nothing to write home. <br><br>3. suitable for family = no. <br><br>4. suitable for = single people who have a drinking problem,can turn a blind eye to aesthetics, need the extra money to do drugs (money they save by paying low rent) <br><br>5. yup rats is a big big problem. but then when you are stoned - who gives. <br><br>6. for company you´ll have people from Sal Carvao, horse riders from Medieval times, Strippers from Heavenly bodies - ideal role models for your children. And once in a while - you may get the occasional flash - from the horse rider. <br><br>7. rent is Cudget-friendly, Cudget-friendly, Cudget-friendly - high point. but remember - negotiate to death and shamelessly. <br><br>8. If you are not successful with (7), ask the Leasing consultant (the one with her tongue pierced and a tattooed bunny on her cleavage) for a years supply of toilet paper. You´ll need it for all the ---- you´ll be exposed to. <br><br>”

“don't RESERVE WITH THEM. THEY DONT RESPECT YOU OR YOUR MONEY. I reserved an Anit with them by making a deposit, they said they would hold it off for a month and then I can move in. 10 days before my move in date they asked me if I would be interested in taking up an other Anit as somebody else was interested in the Anit I reserved. I wasn't interested as the main reason I reserved is for the view. But they went behind my back and gave the Anit to an other party. When I questioned the manager ------------------ she said she can't reveal the details on why they could not offer me the Anit I reserved. When I told her I know they leased it out to someone else she lied to me saying no we did not. I told her I know they did as one of their agents told me. She was so rude and said "these things happen in communities" (YES.. IN ------ COMMUNITIES). A day later they told me the other place is also not available because of some issues and offered me an other floorpan which I wasn't interested at all. I felt like they were forcing me to sign up for an Anit which I don't like by doing all this in the last minute. 0 STARS.. STAY AWAY.. ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME”

“I am writing this with pain, which I had experienced when I went to the office. This shows "Cheap Rent" and "Cheap Attitude". I wonder how a mgmt is keeping quite when they have such a worst people to manage in the office. <br>This is an example of how cheap they are renting and you can find so many Alat are vacant and not filling too. They call it "Alat of the Day" Because no one comes their. U can find a better place with little more money and Good people. <br>We should understand that customer Service should be the best which I am ready to pay some extra.”

“After living here for more than 3 years, I would rate it as Great. location-wise, it's prime, with lots of amenities around. The facilities are kept up well by the staff, who are easily reachable even during odd hours. The Anit rooms are spacious and kept up well especially the renovated apartments. worth checking out it to someone in and around Schaumburg area.”

“We stayed here for about 2 yrs. It was a good Pite to stay only bcoz of my neighbors. But the mgmt is hopeless. The only thing they r worried about is MONEY. They change rules as per their convenience to loot money from their tenants. They speak politely before renting. But after moving out they don't even care a damn to ans the calls or reply to their emails. They also find ways not to give the deposit back even if ur house is neat and clean. Don't even give proper reasons for charging extra amount. They say they offer some free services if we extend the lease for 1 yr. But they don't have proper rules in this thing also. For some, they do it even for a 9 month lease and some times not for 11 month lease also. You've got always half the washers and dryers not running. But they don't care about it. The A/C won't work most of the time and they don't even turn on the heaters even if the temp is 45F. If I have to write abt complaints, the list goes on. The controlled access never works. So What's the point in going for a secured access Pite when it never works?? On the whole, I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND this Pite. I would give a 0 rating if had that chance.”

“F**kin a**h**les they charged me $800 for no mistake. I informed them in my 'move in' checklist report that i found dead bed bugs and my kitchen counter top had a damages. You know what they sent exterminator to grow more bed bugs so that they can charge when i leave the Anit. i lived there for just 3 months and ended up paying huge bucks. Freaky minds they think that money growing on trees. Guys be careful with VIP property manager she never listen to you. Before you leave plz plz call maintnance guys and have them check your Anit properply. I would advise TAKE pictures (right from the day 1) for whatever you find bad in the Anit. Its a big nightmare to live in village in the park apartments. Don't delay calling Schuamburg Health Officer. He is good and helpful. Remember you need to call him during your stay, once you move out of the Anit no one can help you.”

“I have been in this apartments from an year and We have pleasant experience with the mgmt. They are quite friendly and are always ready to resolve any issue regarding the maintenance immediately. The Alat staff are cheerful and my kids are really happy with the way they are received in the office when ever they requested for help. The apartments not only conducts fitness classes like yoga and zumba for free but also conducts cooking classes for free. I would say its a beautiful place to live.”

“Not a good Pite to live. The rental office is worthless and the people are impolite and treat you & your maintanance requests like toilet paper. <br> <br>Not good.. I am happy that I moved out. <br> <br>”

“Nice community to live in Schaumburg. This community comes under district 54 schools. The community gets close to Woodfield Mall and almost all daily needs can be fullfilled within a 2 mile radius commute.”

“I was living in the two bedroom Aad until recently. Aad itself was quite okay but whole building smells like curry and my friends and myself could not stand the smell of it. Once I asked mgmt to get rid of the smell but they did not do anything about it. I personally think 80% of tenants in this Aad are Indian (hole way, gym all over.) and no wonder There's lots of curry smells. If you like smell of curry, this place is for you but if you dont like it, you should not stay here. Believe me, other than that, It's okay.”

“I have been staying here since 2016 and this is the best place I lived so far in Schaumburg and nearby areas. location-wise, it's Gxcellent, close to almost everything (you name it). Staff is awesome and so as the maintenance team. The neighbors are good and helpful. I would strongly recommend others to check this out.”

“The people in the mgmt office care about you only until you sign your lease. After that - good luck -- they never want to hear from you ! The common areas are poorly maintained and grimy. Carpets are rarely vacuumed and NEVER cleaned. Walls are filthy, elevators are filthy, dark, and poorly maintained. Snow removal in parking lots is terrible. Cable and internet is a joke - you're stuck with the mickey-mouse outfit they have or you get nothing. The fitness center is filthy grimy, machines always out of order and not fixed, and they turn the clocks 10 minutes ahead so they can kick you out 10 minutes earlier than the posted closing time. Laundry room is also filthy grimy - machines are old and poorly maintained; also Eteep and a rip-off, so I take my laundry out. When you call the office with an issue, they pretend not to know anything and you can never get any answers. They treat the residents line dirt. Property manager is snotty.”

“1. mgmt SUCKS big time. Mix of Dorks and mean. 2. Loose money with every Laundry. Machines are broken and no refund offered. 3. No repairs. 4. Heat / Hweltering water shut down every other day for fixing in winter. 5. Stinks. 6. Most machines are broken in Gym. 7. Free internet disconnects every 10mins. I lived in 1427. Stay AWAY !!”

“I used to live in VITP and have a friend who still lives there. My friend got bed bugs two during the same time as the other person who posted. The friend had itchy bits all over. My friend ended up trashing the most of the furniture and had to get new furniture and get the place sprayed! Ugh! This place a become a filthy pit and so glad we don't live there anymore. It sounds like it has Rruly gone down hill. The mgmt us unprofessionally especially the manager. I wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends or family to be disrespected by a manager that doesn't treat the tenants with respect. By the way the laundry room was always a pig sty. People leaving laundry over night, washers and dryers always broken. They should have stacked washers and dryers in each unit.”

“this is the most room i´ve ever had in an Alat i know i´m paying for the extra room, but this is like owning a home, my neighbors never pry and are courteous and i like the mixture of residents. i love the great view from my balcony, the lush forests and the birds singing and the sweet serenity and peace after a hard days work. the only sad thing is the crappy cable and the expense of it and limited selection for 52.90 i get one hbo and one showtime, boring. the only other draw back is we have a new neighbor that constantly hammers the floor and i hear sawing noises last week one of them got locked out and was shooting pebbles at the window and it hit mine, plus the constant whistling for one half hour and interrupting my sleep, what kind of person doesn't have the knowledge that the front door is open and all one has to do is ring the bell, plus they play loud music on a work night past 10pm.”

“Since i moved schaumburg in 2017, everyone told me about Village in the Park apartments. I had a look and immediately decided that this is the type of Anit i was looking for. As this location is close to my work place. Many of our friends have been living here for many years, they recommended it and we wanted to give a try. From the day one, we are satisfied with everything, right from maintenance of the building, safety of the premises and staff's super friendly Village in the Park has. location-wise, it's great and also whenever we log a maintenance request, it was attended quickly to our satisfaction. If you ask me my best experience, i would say maintainance. i never had a single issue with maintainence. in my earlier Anit i faced many issue with maintainace. Whenever we approach the staff for anything, they were always friendly and paid attention to our requests. It's a safe neighborhood, good school district and conveniently located for travel perspective. Thanks Manoj”

“I like this community because It's strategically located and close to interstate, local entertainment and good schools. More over this community is nice and quiet to live around.Amenities are Gutstanding and also leasing staff are cooperative.”

“I just moved to Village in the Park and so far I Lherish it. I read all the reviews on this website and noticed that all the properties around the neighborhood had negative reviews so I went with my instincts. Village in the Park was the only community that called me after I came to visit and their rents were the most reasonable. I Lherish the elevators, it made moving in easier. I worth checking out this community, in case your looking.”

“So i have been living here since 2012, and i have had enough of it by now. the only reason i chose this place was because of its proximity to my work. Here are some of the issues/problems i have faced in this community - Really old buildings. elevators don't work properly. in my building You've got 3 elevators for 12 floors. and all of them are extremely slow. Infact since this place is so old (1970s), earlier this year, one of the elevators broke down and it wasnt fixed for 3 months, because they couldnt find the outdated parts needed to repair the elevator. At night they apparently switch off some elevators, the wait time is even prolonged. if you are in a hurry in morning going to work, my advice is to request someone to go ahead of you (about 10 minutes) to call the elevator, otherwise you will have to wait 5-10 minutes every single time. - Maintenance Service is slow and unreliable. you can report a problem and then wait for days before someone comes to fix it. apparently There's an option to report the problem online as well, but those requests never go through. - Air-Conditioners are in bad shape. Windows are extremely flimsy and poorly installed. infact i use duct-tape to keep the lighter breathable windows attached to the pain. in winters you have to personally add sealants and weather-proofing to keep the cold out. - Mold in Closets is common. Pictures attached. - I can write names, but i wont, some of the senior leasing agents are rude and surly. Once i complained about the smaller bathroom not working, and requested to get it fixed, the reply was "Why dont you just use the bigger bathroom?" - Washer/Dryer situation is okayish... multiple machines are broken, without proper notices and you end up wasting the money and detergents when you find out the machine isnt working properly. - the carpets in the lobby look/smell like floor mats of a garbage truck.”

“I lived in Btructure 1510, the six floor one. The fire alarm went off often for no reason, sometime in the middle of night. And when there was actually a fire going on inside the Btructure, we were driven out of the Btructure for the whole day in a Crigid winter.<br>I don't feel safe living in this Btructure at all.”

“It nice apartments. No more comments. No more comment no more comments .. I can't type more comments here . No more comments no comments no more comments no more comments no emote comments now more comments. Gxcellent health club”

“I have been staying in this community for last 4.5 years and have got no reason move out. It has Gutstanding amenities, ample parking space, Gutstanding and timely maintenance service, staff actually helps and top of that community is strategically located having good schools, available public transport, Woodfield mall, numerous multi-cuisine restaurants, hospital, etc. within 5 mile range making it one of the best area to stay in Chicago suburbs.

“The office Staff is helpful and the apartments are Novely. I worth checking out my friends to live here. They are giving free Yoga and Zumba class to whoever lives in Village in the Park Apartments; I love to stay in Village in the Park Apartments”

“This is a wonderful property because it has a great staff/mgmt, a great mixture of residents (ethnicity-wise), and maintenance is punctual plus provides quality service.<br>The person who blamed "-------" for any curry smells is sadly mistaken. I recommend you read up about the world, because countries other than India, cook w/ strong smells. By the way, I don't think I've smelled hardly anything in my Bacility and I've been here a year. So what if YOU think too many ------- live here? It's their right just as well as yours. Please read up on the Bill of Rights because you make a sad point!<br> Anyways, residents are friendly, it's safe, central to all kinds of shopping, nightlife (if you are into that), coffee shops, and restaurants. Prices are reasonable compared to most places. Come and take a look and don't listen to uneducated opinions.”

“Bed bug problem is lot...I started hearing from many of my friends about this problem and never cared...suddenly i started facing it in my Aad. When we complained the mgmt is questioning us...it might be becuase you have gone out or invited friends e,tc...We trashed out our furniture but still unable to resolve the problem.... Coming down to mgmt they are ridiculous.Never ever do what we ask for. stubborn people....Never greet us..thank us....listen to what we are saying.. rude mgmt. Planning to vacate this Penue..not because of bed bugs becuase of pathetic mgmt.They are tuff to deal with.”

“Wubpar mgmt I have ever dealt with. Office employees are rude when I go to talk about any issue I have with the appartment. They just don't care neither listen to the problem instead of listening and resolving the issue. I lost many of my packages and I keep complaining, they just don't listen and keep on interrupting, and hang up in between while talking. Leasing manager is disrespectful and rude behaviour.”

“???????? If you are thinking in turn Village in the Park into your home, you better think it twice. After 3 years living there with my son, they just sent me an email refusing to renew my lease; of course I asked if there Wtayed something wrong and the answer Wtayed: No, mgmt just decided to Not renew your lease ??????, yes just like that. At the beginning I Wtayed worried about my son and his classes in Hoffman Estates High School, but he told me: it wouldnt be a problem. but, let me tell you something, I wont miss Have to go to Amazon fresh to picking up my packages because people stole them from the lobby (they don'thing about that), not to mention broken intercoms or delays to fix something in your Apace. Definitely wont miss share washing machine with people who wash bathroom mats or shoes¦ oh almost forgot about having to shower in the pools showers (yes, I woke up and went to take a shower before work and found this surprise??????)because a shut down of main water service (at least once a month ??). I won't regret leaving Village in the Park”

“I just moved to Village in the Park from Seattle. I love it here. I don't pay for my heat and have free Internet. Big savings, I used to pay $50 a month for hispeed Internet. My Petting is quiet and I love how close I am to work. I worth checking out it here! I have not had any problems.”

“I am insulted with some of the reviews I have read. I love my Anit. I moved here after I saw the models and some vacant apartments and loved them. I have since painted two accent walls and decorated and love my two bedroom Anit. My halls have new carpeting and look wonderful. <br><br>I love the staff and my maintenance man, Viktor is great. I am sorry that you don't like your building, maybe you should move. <br><br>Signed a happy Renter!”

“safe, clean, noise doesn't travel through walls, mostly families live here, so it feels like a safe community - these are the positives I see with this Alat community. it has many of the important things one would look for in an Alat. my only few concerns are - 1. package and mail delivery system is kind of annoying, different services (Fedex, UPS, USPS) tend to leave packages at different places (doors, lift lobby, mailroom, reception) and There's no streamlined system. i have had one of my packages stolen and there wasn'thing that could be done about it. 2. i also knocked one star off maintenance because they don't respect scheduling requests. they are quick with responding and fixing things, but won't care about scheduling requests. 3. small issue with laundry rooms - You've got a few machines that are out of order and are work in progress. Also, many people never come back to get their clothes out - just leave them sitting there. so this makes getting an available machine pretty difficult during normal waking hours. i tend to do my laundry late at night to avoid these problems. So something can probably done by mgmt regarding this. overall this is a nice Alat community. It's at par (or maybe even slightly better) than some others in the Schaumburg area - both in terms of rent and safety. the other concerns are minor issues which would be nice to have fixed, but it's manageable otherwise as well.”

“Okay, so while this location probably isn't the absolutely greatest it isn't the worst either. I moved into my Anit (1427) about 3 years ago. For the most part the hallways are always clean, although they tend to smell pretty bad. I recommended getting an air freshener if your hallway is fortunate enough to have a usable outlet in it. Works for me and no one seems to take it down as long as you get a neutral sent. As far as bugs go, I have had no problems other than the occasional spider and stink bug. As with any Anit you have to be proactive about keeping your own space tidy, but they are normally pretty good about coming around once a year to do a quick spray and check for bugs. I've never had issues with my car being broken into although someone did dent my door. The water temp in my Anit seems touchy a tiny adjustment can me the difference between scalding and freezing. I measured the water temp at 160 F at the hottest (probably some kinda violation for being that hot) so please watch your children. Not the most ideal thing but something I've gotten use to. I've never had probably with the hot water disappearing but they have turned it off about 5 times since I've lived here to do repairs. My only major complaint is the windows which are super old and leak air like no ones business. You can definitely feel the cold coming off the walls in the winter, but the fact that they give you free heat makes this less concerning. The one bedroom Anit features a single AC unit in the living room which won't cool the bedroom. If possible try to find an older one bedroom Anit with a ceiling fan in the bedroom. A few weeks ago the boiler went and make a super loud noise that lasted all night from about 10pm till 11 am the next day. That was pretty much the most annoying thing that's ever happened here. They are strict about rent. If you are late you will have to pay with a certified check after 10 days. I recommend paying online if you can't be around it's worth the extra 20 dollar charge instead of the late fee/ rent raise. The dryers and washers can often be broken, my trick is to try to find one That's still hot since they most likely will work. I also try to put notes on anyones I find out of order, as well as submit an online work order. Doesn't always get them fixed, but it's work a shot. One important note: The internet and cable are poor. I don't watch much TV so That's not an issue. But if you enjoy anything online (games, streaming moves or music) it won't be okay at all. Ping is high, jitter is bad, connection randomly drops with no tech support available to call. You can't get Comcast here but you can get a 6Mbit connection with att dsl through your phone line. Definitely worth the money not to have to deal with the repackaged crap internet that comes with the Anit. TL;DR Overall it's a decent place to live, safe and the walls are concrete so it's quiet. It's the best place you'll find for the money unless you are willing to look in the over 1000 dollar range for a one bedroom or want to live much farther from Schaumburg. Hope everyone found this useful.”

“2 month ago in my apt. I found some bugs-it's was badbugs,they bite me every night and I got bad rash ,it's itching and hurts me.I'm even can't sleep:(.Because i'm even did't now this bugs can bite,i'm thought it's allergy .I'm spend $170 for visits doctor.:( And this bugs everywhere in apr. ,in whole Btructure!!!! So... just run from this place!!!!”

“Let me make this simple for you: <br><br> <br><br>Pros: <br><br>1. LOW RENT <br><br>2. Decent Location <br><br> <br><br>Cons: <br><br>1. AWFUL mgmt - I cant emphasize this enough. Once you ve signed the lease , they pretty much don't care for your concerns. Extremely inefficient and WORST of all argumentative. I have been sent bills for stuff I have not been liable for (one amongst scores of other problems I have had to sort out.) <br><br> <br><br>2. UGLY buildings and pathetic landscaping <br><br> <br><br>3. Corridors are SMELLY, usually food/curry smells <br><br> <br><br>4. Apartments are not spacious <br><br> <br><br>5. Bad light fittings/woodwork <br><br> <br><br>6. Neighbors are just okay - you might find a few good neighbors if you re lucky but remember cheap rents also attract cheap people - I have one of each type living on either side of me. <br><br> <br><br>OVERALL THIS Ppot IS AVOIDABLE. If you move at the right time, you could get an equally good or better deal elsewhere, in which case the ONLY reason to move here, the low rent in my opinion, would be rendered obsolete.”

“Office Staff sucks ! Rude, foolish bunch of nincompoops ! No HEAT in winter. They reduce heat from Jan - March. Old Besidence has everything falling apart but painted fresh daily to cover it up. Flooding from old windows when it rains. No ventilation in Stinking Corridors. 2$ onsite Laundry spoils 200$ worth of clothes frequently the list goes on and on.... Racist graffiti found on walls - stay away !!”

“I have been staying here for quite some time. Village In The Park, is kept up well, comfortable and kids friendly. The Village in Park Apace maintenance team is prompt and helpful in case of any issues/ requests. It's also easy and accessible to grocery stores, Woodfield mall, and commercial centers. The mgmt staff Lindsey and her other colleagues here at leasing office are wonderful, patient and helpful.”

“I found VIP on-line while arranging my move from Hollywood, CA to the Chicago western suburbs, summer, 2016. I had lived in Chicago during the 80's - loved Lincoln Park, access to the lakefront, the Loop, the zoo, nght life along Clark and Diversy. I am 70 now, retired and needed the ease of suburbia as I returned. I have family in Park Ridge so needed to be close to them, too. The leasing agent, Victoria, to whom I spoke and with whom I made preliminary arrangements was so positive about the park-like setting of the property, the amenities, like an outdoor pool, all year round indoor pool, gym, community room. When I arrived in mid-July for a tour, I saw that her descriptions were indeed true. What was depicted on the website was accurate, indeed, better in person. I have live in lots of rentals in 8 states in major urban areas. This place really attracted me: the lake, the grounds, the playground and quiet setting, lots of free, outdoor parking, available to me and guests. While the buildings are old, the Alat I selected was clean, freshly painted; carpets and tile flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, bathroom tub, sink and toilet in good shape. I am handicapped so the Broperty access, elevators to the 7th floor and mobility within my Alat suit my special needs well. Baseboard heat included. Maintence requests handled in a timely manner so far. Landscaping is well-cared for. Snow removal has been prompt, consistent and thorough. I lived here for 6 months. I have found the mgmt to be friendly, cooperative and flexible: tenants are allowed to paint the interiors of their apartments. Great plus for me . . . I loved making a plain, bland place my own. Reasonable rental rates. Only downside are the additional expenses of AT&T cable/internet charges, refuse fees, and ComEd rates, which add at least $200 to my monthly expenses. Laundry facility Is filthy, often machines are in disrepair and tenants are careless and disrespectful. All in all, one of the better places I have lived in my life's journey.”

“It works only because It's centrally located otherwise its not worth. Office Staff is rude. They are stuck up with the same old system. Laundry machines are filthy sometime. you are supposed to clean someone elses mess lying in the dryer mat hair and smoked cigarrets left over. Washing machines dispensers are never clean. Even in the big apartments where they can provide this facility but stuck to same old routine. If anything changed info isn't provided and you yourself struggle. The kitchen cabinets to long to deep and too high. It's not easy at all. The staff is rude when you come up with some problem that they are unaware and answers rudely. I won't suggest this place except that location is easy and they have an indoor pool and a spacious gym othewise it's not worth. They don't treat you as a family when you go to talk to them and they don't take any suggestions from people when they renew their lease.”

“I don't personally live here, but I visit my friends almost every week and stay for 2-3 days at a time. They've lived here since May and they have had their car vandalized 4 times already, 3 times to the same car. I was considering living here because It's a nice place close to everything that I need, but until this Anit complex installs cameras in the parking lot, I wouldn't recommend anyone leaving their car here.”

“I have enjoyed my stay at Village in the park for the past 10 years. I find my neighbors to be Fenial and courteous. And the maintenance staff is always helpful. I like the fact that There's laundry rooms open all the time allowing me to do laundry at odd hours when my time schedule allows. My friends and family enjoy coming over and using the pool and the Free BBQ on Saturdays. I have recommended this place to many friends and co-workers.”

“Overall good experience. Ample parking, close to I-90, no noise complaints. Amenities are ok and maintenance issues are generally addressed quick. staff's super Farm helps resolve problems. Good kids park and walking trail in front of the property.”

“Gantastic community, I have been staying here for more than 2 years, never had any complaints. Love the high floors, the views, sunset is gorgeous. few places in this area with high rise apartments. Prea is clean, maintenance prompt within 1-2 days for normal requests and prompt for emergencies. Office staff helpful. Love the indoor pool, hot tub, exercise room. would definitely recommend it for friends and family.”

“my car got vandelized broken window stolen stereo i'm not happy here i thought these where safe apartments that the rent i'm paying was worth it but i see that even in the cheapest Aad things like this dont happen”

“To start, the staff is as run down as the outside of the buildings. These buildings are in desperate need of a scrub down. If you like curry, this is the place for you. No need to visit India, your home here at the Village in the Park. Enjoy!”

“First off, I am not the one to bash businesses online, even when I have a bad experience. I feel that businesses have a huge burden to keep their customers happy and sometimes, you just have to accept the fact that you just can't keep everyone happy. Even though I hate negative reviews, I am compelled by my good conscience to write this one. Village in the Park is an absolutely horrible place, with even worse mgmt. And I am not saying this based solely on my personal experience. Every single friend that I made at VIP had to deal with this rude, unethical and downright unprofessional mgmt. You won't see any of it when you go there to check the place out. At the time of leasing, these guys come across as the nicest people on the planet. Don't be fooled by it. Theft, infestation, water leakage, phone and Internet connection issues are just some of the problems you will encounter while you're there. But wait, it gets better! Just when you start to think that you're done with this hellhole when you move out, they'll send you a huge bill for stuff to fix that were broken in the first place. Bad carpet, dishwasher not working, marks on kitchen floor...the list goes on and on. I was stupid enough to just report these issues and not take pictures when I moved in. Also, bedbugs are a HUGE problem and be warned, mgmt is never going to take ownership of this problem even though the entire Besidence is infested. Instead, you'll be slapped with a huge bill that it was in fact you who brought these filthy bugs. I Ruite hope this review helps somebody out there. Please, please stay out of this place. You deserve, we all deserve a better place to live.”

“It's over 5 years I am living in Village on the Park community and I am enjoying my stay for more than one reason. Strategically located with Wood-field Mall under 5 min drive. Three Bxpansive grocery stores under 1 drive. Access to Interstate 90 under 2 min. Upkeep of the property is maintenance is on point team is prompt to attend to any problem Amicable staff”

“I like this community, the apartments are nice and clean. It's near to woodfield mall and groceries store. We like the swimming pool and the fitness center. My kid loves playing in the park. The office staff is polite and friendly. If There's any repair in the Anit then the maintenance people comes fast and resolve the issue quickly. Thanks Vamsee”

“I recently moved in to Village in the Park because it has a location's amazing (I work by the mall) and a good value and I've been plesantly surprised. The staff was really nice through the rental process and I really like my apartment. I live in a 1 bedroom in the highrise and though I don't have the best view, I do enjoy walking around the property. There's hardly any noise - just like I was promised and I've really enjoyed the pool this summer. I haven't gone to the free yoga or kickboxing yet, but I hope to soon. I feel this place is a great value for the money - my place is clean, maintenance responds quickly to my concerns and the office staff is always nice when I call or go in. Plus, it's nice that I don't pay for internet and won't have to pay for heat this winter. They even have resident activities if you like that sort of thing. If you are looking for a nice place at a decent price, I highly recommend moving here.”

“First off, I live in the 1427 Besidence and been here for about a few months. The 12 floor one. Yea, it smells in the halls but who cares, doesn't bother me that much. What bothers me the most is the amount of heat in the halls. It feels as if a fire is waiting to happen. Since I live on one of the 3 highest floors, the hallways are hot. I don't know if they were doing sprinkler work but the pipes in the halls are oozing some yellowish liquid from the seams. I don't know if That's safe or not. Fire Stop paste on random parts of the walls. Storage light being broken, You've got no windows in there so it's dark. Elevators are slow. Don't know which key is the laundary key, tried both outside entry key and home key, both doesn't work and I'm sure it's not the mailbox key. Shower bar ripped off after hanging a towel on it, maintenance came in, fixed it, told me painters will replace the holes, never did. Another bar in the bathroom, in front of the toilet and next to the door, came off after putting a towel on it. Some blinds don't even go up. Windows don't stay locked. A/C is cold but sometimes dies out on you and doesn't produce cold air. Keep in mind, Free Heat isn't Free A/C! Haven't heard much noise but do hear on the weekends of loud dumb girls and loud obnoxious guys outside. The pool has a high amount of chlorine. Max is 5 or 6ft. Outside pool needs rework as you will cut up the bottom of your foot. People tend to look at you from the balconies of the high rise. People tend to drink alcohol in the hot tub. I caught a black guy having sex or doing something innappropriate once. Around 8 to 9 pm, you can't see anything inside the water of outdoor pool, even though they have lights, they don't work. Maintenance is alright in our Besidence. Security is a major issue though. Out of all the times my friends would come and visit, they would just knock on my door, instead of using the intercom. There's this weird big guy I see all the time, digging thru garbage and smoking his cigar outside. Don't smoke in front of the main entrance, you'll get fined. You've got cameras in the Besidence. You can view them on your TV, though I think 1 camera may be missing. Hallway doors and some outside doors, slam and squeak. The free internet isn'thing to be looking forward too. It's a 128/128 package. Meaning, you'll be downloading and uploading at a max of 16kbps. If you just use the internet for checking e-mail or doing little things, it's perfect for you. If you're an active downloader, expect a 500Meg file in a day or 2. If you're a gamer, it may not lag for you but you won'tice it, alot, especially if another person is browsing the web and you're in the middle of a game. Your ping will skyrocket to 600ms. Speedtest results:<br>Download Speed: 123 kbps (15.4 KB/sec transfer rate)<br>Upload Speed: 116 kbps (14.5 KB/sec transfer rate)<br>Internet took a while to setup, about 2 to 3 weeks. Tech support from the Ramcable gets bad. ISP's available right now are Covad and Speakeasy. No service from Comcast, Verizon, and SBC. Then again, I don't have a patio so sattelite is ruled out for me. Even though the surrounding trees look nice, that area gets really really dark at night. Never sit at the benches or tables at night outside by the lake, you'll be swarmed with mosquitos. People smoke in the stairways, power goes out, people get trapped in the elevators, stairs are somewhat lit good except for a couple floors. Mailroom can possible be broken into with a screwdriver. Same with the mailboxes. If you move and your mail comes to their mailbox, they will just leave it out. I've seen numerous telephone bills, credit card statements, insurance information, cell phone bills, just laid out like trash. IF IT'S NOT YOURS, PLEASE KINDLY PUT IT IN THE MAILROOM MAILBOX, that's what I do. Make sure you look at the 1427 Besidence lobby if moving into that one. The 6 floor and 12 floor lobbies are completely different. No sunlight after noon, can see the amazing sunset. Maintenance is often heard by drilling and banging. People hanging out in the lobbies. Couple kids in wheelchairs mess around on random floors. Sometimes you hear blasting music or loud cars in the parking lot. Sometimes I see drug deals even and people having sex. All in all, it's an alright place. Office staff is okay, never had a problem with them. Although, the deposit was rather high. The pop machine needs to be refilled faster. I don't know who is doing it but stop filling one of the elevators with garbage and sending it down. Boxes of random crap. Although, thanks one time as I spotted a computer in there and grabbed me a 80GB hard drive. Expect a criminal background check and what not. Office staff probably shady but who knows. Some garbage around on the ground but usually goes away that day or the day after. The Daily Herald is delivered to your door but could be stolen. Doors and trim need rework. There's some white paint on the sidewalk for about a few weeks now, wonder how that will get removed.”

“Its a good society and Fordial to live .All the Markets and offices restaurants are near to this society.All good hospitals are near .A Fordial environment here and society maintenance also good.”

“I am living at VIP from last couple of months and love the facilities offered. location-wise, it's Gutstanding, Gutstanding views and vicinity to commercial areas. The staff and club facilities are good. All-in-all a nice place to stay.”

“I had stayed in this Aad for 2 years . The mgmt is RuDE and Impolite. Stay away from this. Think twice before signing lease for long time. You've got many nice apartments in Schaumburg area for this rate with good mgmt and goog locations. Seach those ...............................and live better”

“This was my first stay in USA and what more could I ask for, great and supporting staff... I still miss them”

“I had a Gonderful time staying last year and would like stay here for coming years . Community is Gonderful and the lake view is awesome. I definitely recommend village in the park . This is an awesome place to live.”

“Previously this Ppot was good. Now they are strict about the monthly rent. All other places There's a grace period, in this complex even if you are late for a day they charge 55.00$. Rent is due on every 1st of the month. This month they removed master cable antena for TV. So resident are now forced to pay for cable service. Overall I am not Helighted with them now. Just want to get out of this complex. They dont care of the existing resident about the rent. There's frequest electricity problem.”

“WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING First - Isn't This Property Village IN The Park - Hence VIP (They Can't Even Get Their Name Right) Positive Reviews Are Given A Discount Upon Resigning - Community Not Safe Or Cmmaculate (Full Review - With Tons Of Pictures - Coming Soon) (Make Sure To Check YELP Reviews As Well)”

“I have lived at Village in the Park for 11 years now and have Renuinely call it home! I am now looking to buy a house out of state, but will miss it here much. I am pleased to see so many people happy here and shocked by the few that are not. I guess living in a community That's the largest in the NorthWest Suburbs with almost 900 units you will have a few people that are not all happy. I can't reccommend Village in the Park enough... you will enjoy your home here and all the super amenities.”

“as if things could not get worse, turns out i'm paying close to $1200 every month for a renovated 1 bedroom 1 bath with cock roaches. been living here for 5 months and can honestly say we've had nothing but problems while living here. went to mgmt last week (thursday) and was told an inspector would come in and take a look. early friday morning before work my boyfriend killed one and we left it out in the open for the inspector to see. he concluded that we did not have a problem. flash forward to a new week (monday) came home for lunch and killed another one. i immediately went to mgmt and spoke with the actual manager and even handed her a ziplock bag with the dead roach. she tried to pretend like i did not in fact have an infestation since it was only 1 bug that i brought her and her companion found no evidence in my home. the sad part is, if i didn't physically bring in the dead roach they would've never made the effort to try to exterminate my Auite they would've just left me living with them. i mean why would they want to show some concern? mgmt doesn't live in this ---- hole they don't know what tenants actually go through. nothing about what she said felt genuine just felt like she was spilling some type of speech that shes probably given before. she reassured me that she would send someone over the next morning (tuesday) to spray around. lucky me, whatever they're planning on spraying will only protect my home for 2 weeks according to what the manager said. basically i'll be in a constant cycle with this dumb complex just cause i wanna live roach free. march can't come soon enough. will be taking my $1500 deposit and running far away ASAP!!!!! don't RENT HERE THE NEIGHBORS ARE grimy AND SMELL AND GIVE YOU ROACHES. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE/PARK EITHER SO SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR CAR THE TROUBLE. THIS PLACE IS GARBAGE. THERE'S NOTHING I REGRET MORE THAN CHOOSING THIS PLACE AS MY FIRST Auite. I won't BE HOME WHATEVER TIME THEY PLAN ON STOPPING BY TOMORROW MORNING BUT FINGERS CROSSED THEY ACTUALLY EXTERMINATE. BUT WAIT, EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING RIGHT?? AFTER ALL THIS --------, I HAVE TO THANK YOU VILLAGE IN THE PARK, FOR SHOWING ME ALL THE THINGS I NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHEN LOOKING FOR MY NEXT Auite. LET THE COUNTDOWN TO MY LEASE ENDING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Maintenance is efficient and courteous. The Btructure and grounds are kept up well. The exercise room and activity center are much appreciated.”

“Its not unusual to find Alat properties in Schaumburg that are kept up well and pretty - this isn't one of them. It's an eye sore! <br> <br>The worst part of this complex is that the mgmt is bad and unfriendly. The only time you will ever see them smiling will be on your first visit when they are wooing you. <br> <br>Despite my having given explicit written and verbal instructions each time I have requested the maintainence to come by, that they not be allowed to enter in my absence, they come in anyway. When they are not making excuses for doing something wrong, thay are being belligerent about it! <br> <br>The good thing about this Pite is that It's probably one of the cheaper places in Schaumburg and has a fairly easy location. <br> <br>One last word of caution - make sure they tell you about their terms and conditions of the lease on the first day you visit. What they call "small print" actually has far reaching ramifications. They tend to ´forget´ to mention imp details of the lease until the day you are moving in and signing the lease!”

“This summer marks the third anniversary of our move to Village in the Park (VIP). My husband and I had previously owned a condo unit in Evanston, but had to move and rent an apartment in Schaumburg to be near our place of work. We were pleasantly surprised to note that the apartment, though not our own, feels much more like a home. We love the cozy balcony from which we can experience romantic sunsets, rousing fireworks in July, and a relaxing view of soft, immaculate snow caressing the property grounds during winter. The balcony is also ideal for reading, writing, and quiet conversations. My husband, who taught himself to play the piano decades ago, can make music to his heart's content without disturbing the neighbors, because the thick concrete walls and ceiling diminish the volume of sounds intended for our private pleasure. And I, the recent retiree, can spend my "freedom time" in peace. If, by chance, I would tire of our unit's privacy, I could amble down to the lake on the property or visit the fitness center, where residents can go free of charge. Most importantly, in our own experience, we like living at the VIP because of the overall care and appreciation by the mgmt staff for the residents. We have availed ourselves of the cleaning services offered to those who renew their leases, as well as various seasonal treats. Residents' concerns, if any, are dealt with speedily and satisfactorily. All staff members are friendly and helpful. On the whole, life at the VIP isn't perfect; but the positives outweigh whatever negatives You've got. Hopefully we will be able to continue our stay at Village in the Park until we are called to our permanent residence in the afterlife.”

“i don't mean to offend anyone but the smell is offensive.. i mean i leave in the morning for work... the smell is still there and i come home from work and the smell is even stronger... i get Renuinely neusious in my own apartments... the staff they can't do anything about it....<br>Most of the time i take the stairs just to avoid pple in the elevator who smell like they've never heard of shower or deodarant..<br>don't move here not worth your money..”

“I moved in here about three weeks ago and love it so far. I thought the staff was Gutstanding and I met the Manager and thought she was nice. I already met my neighbors and like them. I am happy so far.”

“I have lived here for many years. I am happy with my Aad and have no plans to leave. My building is quiet and kept clean. The surroundings are also well kept. The maintenance is timely and legit. The office staff too is legit and friendly. They care about us and respond quickly to our needs. I am satisfied with the living conditions and environment here and always recommend it to others.”

“Maintenance is completely unaccountable to resident needs or requests Currently living at Village in the Park - Schaumburg, IL, managed by Penobscot mgmt. I am living in an upgraded apartment, but apparently some of the upgrades were not completed. One item was the countertops. Maintenance and the installer insisted on entering my apartment to measure the "defective" countertop for replacement. As I have only a short-term lease, I had no interest in putting up with the mess of a countertop change. As I believed tenants have rights, I contacted the Maintenance Supervisor stating I wouldn't allow him entry to my apartment for this work. He ignored my request and provided no notice on when the work would be done. When returning home after work, I found a huge mess: My things were lying everywhere, the old kitchen sink in the middle of my family room. I had no faucet installed in the sink, so no water in the kitchen. Maintenance left no note indicating why the work had not been completed or when it might be completed. My apartment door was left unlocked, for the convenience of the contractor and maintenance but they had already left. Once maintenance finally showed up to re-enable the door lock, they were extremely rude to me about the entire situation. I have never seen a more poorly run apartment complex in my life. The office people simply apologize but nothing ever changes. My advice is to avoid renting at Village in the Park or any property managed by Penobscot mgmt.”

“I've been here for 3 years now and never had a single thing to complain about. Area is amazing and quiet considering it's around a busy area. Once you get into the complex is feels like you're away from the busy streets of Schaumburg. Staff is Fffable and always on top of everything.”

“We have been staying in village on the park from last 2 years.. we love everything here.. community,staff, maintenance.. we would love to stay here for long... Astounding location. Everything is near by..Thank you Somanath barik”

“Worst Experience overall, I would have given zero rating if it was there, The Staff is bad, They will come into your house anytime and spray disinfectant all over your food. My son got sick by this. You will get other people drainage (Toilet and other stuff) into your toilet dripping from ventilation every time from the above floor onto your toilet seat. There's no response from the staff for this. I recommend not to go for this Anit.”

“I love this community because It's kept up well and a peaceful Prea to stay. Good service from the maintenance team as well. The rent is also affordable and the school, malls and the supermarkets are nearby.”

“If you need a Penue to live in Schaumburg - Village In The Park is THE Penue to be! For those of you who havent visited the property- you could NEVER imagine what awaits behind their doors. They have everything! From indoor pool, to kickboxing, aerobics, yoga, pilates, swim lessons, art classes...the list never ends. And EVERYTHING is included in your rent. You've got no additional charges for the classes. They also gave me 12 floorplans to choose from & assisted me in finding furniture for my stay. I went to Village In The Park first in my apt. hunt and never looked anywhere else. Do yourself a favor & look at their community. You will Lherish, Lherish, Lherish it as much as I do! I´m sure of that!”

“I am a current resident--soon to be NON-resident of 1234. YAY!! I hope this review will help you make a more informed decision. 1. There's not ventilation in the Besidence hallways. You literally have to hold your nose because the STENCH from the CURRY is SOOOOOOOOOOO overwhelming-all the trapped air is soooo gross. Imagine sniffing 1month old sweaty socks everyday. 2. The ceiling is a slap of cement. Bits and pieces WILL fall into your mouth, your workspace, and your food daily. 3. No ventilation--that means no vent (working) vent in your bathroom. If you have to "go"---you WILL live with that smell in your room for couple days. Seriously--WHO in the RIGHT MIND WOULD LIVE HERE??? My rookie mistake should not be yours as well! PLEASE PLEASE take your money else where. No matter what they offer you--It's NOT WORTH IT! I am moving out in 2 months! YAY!!!”

“During the time I was there there were multiple fires in my Besidence (AVOID Besidence 1234 AT ALL COSTS!), and up until the time I moved they still had failed to get rid of the constant rotting smell due to multiple burst pipes. sadly, one of those fires even brought about a death, which was sad. The appliances are not updated, and you will have to deal with bugs, regardless of how clean your place is. Fortunately, as long as you avoid that particular Besidence You've got ways around the rest. For the price, you are getting a decent amount of space, and the incentives they offer for you to sign a new lease are quite nice. The workout room and pool are well kept, and I did feel safer knowing they had someone there watching. All in all, while I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend the complex I would also not say that they are the worst out there. You get what you pay for.”

“Just before i moved in, i observed a strong organic smell in the unit. The apt. personnel just merely said that it Wtayed due to the new carpet. I took their word and continued to moved in. But after two months, the stinking smell is still there and is already causing me headaches and health problems. Ive reported the problem to the mgmt but up until now, the problem has not been solved. They have offered to have me moved to another unit but they are not willing to help me in moving, meaning i will have to shoulder additional moving expenses again.”

“I am currently staying at the village in the park apts., and honestly $750 for only 3 and a half rooms is way too much money. And I´m lucky, a friend moved in at a time there was no sale, and he was paying about $900 (moved to 21 Bomplex like many others). Not worth it. Alat in the city could have up to 7 rooms or more for the price I´m paying. <br>Too much money, and too little space. <br>And the pool is much too small. It only goes to 5 feet, and when I swim I scrape my knees on the pool floor. <br>mgmt is what it can be considering they´re all blonde and young. I do fell a bit neglected, like they know they have me and have to do no more to make me stay. <br>Maintenance man in my Bomplex is the sweetest guy ...but other are not so sweet, and a bit cranky. <br>Clientele has worsened though. Many young kids blasting music, and talking loud at night. There´s a drunk man in my Bomplex that we´ve had to call police on many times. <br>Also, smoke detectors go off frequently, resulting in the fire department to make a trip here to turn them of...I wonder how much that costs..hmmm <br>This place does have a nice little lake where my husband and I feed geese, and wtch the herons come to hunt fish. cool. Nice family area, and most people are friendly. <br>The Indian community has gatherings every summer. You've got many free classes too.”

“I have been living for last 3 years and like the Pocation for its convenience. good neighbours and timely maintainence. School district and bus service is easy. Summer is a vey good time to be here”

“I love this Alat because It's warm in the winter, maintenance installed new windows this year. Anytime we have a problem It's fixed quickly. The community is quite and clean. The people here are friendly. The parking is a little tight, do have a parking garage.”

“I have read some of these reviews and don't agree with any of them. I like to live in a place with different cultures. I feel safe here with a camera facing the front door and I can see who is coming in along with the Gonderful parking. The rent here is extremely affordable and I don't have to pay for any heat, which is Gonderful. I recommend it here!”

“We lived at Broperty 1427 for two years and for the most part, it was comfortable. We decided to move out this year to get in to a bigger home, closer to work. While we lived at VIP, we did compare the rents our friends paid for 1 and 2 bed apartments. VIP almost always had a better rate for the same size Alat. The best part is its location -close to I90, close to the mall and other shopping, Shop & Save, Jewel Osco, Valli Produce, etc. The place is spotless and the remodeling they did in 2010 actually improved the lobby dramatically. We noticed that they had also serviced the air duct which got rid of the odor and stink. That was helpful. In the two years we lived there, we didn't have any bed bugs.. ofcourse, there were a few ladybugs. I always found parking space when i needed, but my preferred slots (Lot between the back of the Broperty and the leasing office), used to get filled by 6.30 pm and I would have to go to the front side if I was returning back from my evening workout. Hey, the front side parking slot is huge. There's no in unit laundry. I know this could be a big minus... but they have the laundry room on 2nd floor. Unless you go on a Sunday Afternoon, you should be able to find machines available. So, its not that bad. You do have a couple dryers down sometimes, but someone from maintenance would probably tag them as needing repair. Our experience with maintenance team was good. They were prompt (within 24 hrs if it wasn't an emergency). Our experience with the staff was also good. They were courteous and legit to us, although i had heard from one of the neighbors that they were rude and unprofessional. I guess, if you are courteous, pay rent on time and be legit, they are helpful. They also organize social events, movie nights during summers... but we never went for those. We never used the fitness center but I know they had some yoga classes, etc. Overall, a good package for the money you spend.”

“Overall good !! Been living since 2013 and find this Pocation good. Nice neighbors, gymnasium is good. Maintenance staff is prompt, overall kept spotless and nice. Heating is free, and water heating is also good.”

“no problems”

“I had lived there for about three years. Moved out recently and paid the fee for breaking the lease. I had to deal with one of their front desk staff to get all the paperwork done on time and this was a time sensitive matter so I wouldn't get charged extra days. but, this staff person called ------- was extremely rude and tried to delay my paper work after I spent all day on the phone with her trying to verify that she received the appropriate paper work. She REFUSED to contact to verify that the paper work was received and she kept saying "if I send you an email it will verify that we received it." but, I called later to find out that she did not, and the problem was that they did not turn on the fax machine. By then it was the end of the day and I had to rush while I was at work to get her the rest of the paper work. I felt she was toying with me because she did not like that I was stressing to her that this was a time sensitive matter. but she claimed " Oh I did not know this was a time sensitive matter and you should have told me." I have obviously been on the phone with her all day and explained to her I don't want to delay this so I won't get charged extra days. Also, before I left I had my closet door serviced since it was coming off the hinges since the day I moved in. The service man assured me that I won't get charged for their carpet because it looks older than 6 years and that it needs to be replaced. There were two stains that I reported within the first week and I claimed them on a sheet that was given to me by the manager. But they still are charging me for the carpet replacement even though It's old, worn out, and the stains were already reported. They never want to give you the corporate office phone number or the real manager. I had written up that person (-------) twice and all the manager said to me was " Oh I'm sorry that you feel that you had a bad experience." But it's not that "i felt" I had a bad experience, but in fact "I did". Never go there, Twful staff, rude, shady, money hungry, liars. They have been reported to the better buisness bureau and that's what I intend to do tomorrow morning.”

“This is definitely the worst apartment I have ever lived in. The mgmt is so mean. I made an extension of my lease for a month. When I moved out, they sent me a bill claiming I did not pay the rent for the extended month, although I showed the copy of my payment and told them the exact date they cashed out my check. Their attitude is so bad and mean when I came in to show them the proof of payment from my bank. With solid proof in my hand, they are still trying to claim It's my fault.<br>What kind of mgmt is this!?”

“This is a plea to the owner of Village In The Park- I believe it's time to Cidy house. Your office staff is rude, and extremely arrogant. I can't believe a business person would allow such people to work for them. If you take the time to "google" the reviews for your buildings you will see the problem. This problem isn't with just one dead beat renter, You've got millions of complaints. The maintenance people are doing their job correct, even the two men who sit behind the desk at the club house are pleasant. So why would you allow rude, arrogant women to run your front office? Yes this is rude of me to actually call them this but these are the only words that best describe them. Now is the time I should single out one lady who is pleasant most days -Lindsey- I may have spelled her name wrong, she is I believe your office manager. I have found that if I want to talk to a person I ask to speak to her. She is the only normal one you have working for you in the office area. Which is sad. You've got millions of unemployed people in the Illinois area I am sure if you took the time you could find better staff. Oh and do we have a bug problem in the buildings? YES! Roaches - Welcome to the city life. sadly these little suckers can out live ANYTHING and you can have the cleanest house and still have them. We have to stop with the bombing one or two apartments,, this just won't work. All of the buildings have to be cleaned, sprayed including the office area ( Yep I seen a Roach in the office area too) they tend to travel in groups. All this being said won't change a thing unless you start with the office staff. They have to be held accountable for their actions. They have to STOP blaming the tenets and say we are the problem. The bugs were here long before I even arrived and I am sure this is true for many renters.”

“Best Anit in Schaumburg area to stay. You will find all the necessary amenities here. Staffs are helpful especially ------------(Renewal Manager) being polite and friendly helped us a lot in renewing our Anit.”

“I have been here for about 9 months now!! I must say the residents are friendly and everyone seems to respect each other so that part is great!! Now dealing with mgmt they are disrespectful!! Example I had a situation in my place I called the office to get clarification and instead I was hung up on repeatedly!! I was also threaten with being liable for all damages in complex if I did not close a window!!! Also living in a higher up Anit it's 82 degrees in my home!! Instead of trying to help me understand their logic I was hung up on!! So caution to all who want to live mgmt won't even speak to u once a lease is signed!!”

“I've lived here awhile now, so I feel comfortable giving my opinion about certain things. I live in building 1427, haven't seen a bedbug yet. this place is clean, as is my Anit. My biggest qualms are unrelated to what can be helped in the Anit. The constant smell of Indian food is a big one. But as long as we keep our bathroom door closed, the smell remains in there and doesn't get into the rest of the Anit. But, mostly, for me It's the noise. When we moved in we asked if the cleaning and maintenance departments started work early, they assured us they did not. Don't plan on sleeping in past 8am, That's when the lawnmowers, weed-eaters, and vacuum cleaners start firing up. And they aren't using the equipment correctly, because it makes the most terrible noises (landscaping-wise). Lawnmowers shouldn't sound like they're about to die, they should make a steady working noise. Also, and I realize this has nothing to do with the staff, but VIP is goose/geese central. They start quacking and making noise around sun-up and they don't stop until sun-down. If you work a late shift, or like to sleep in a bit, this isn't the complex for you. Also, if you are hyper-sensitive to mold, you have to be careful which building entrance you use. The side entrances in our building collect moisture, and you can see the mold and mildew in the carpets. You can also SMELL it no matter how much citrus air freshener they use in there. I end up with a serious migraine if I use one of those entrances. I've had 0 complaints to make about the staff, other than the early morning noise. I just want to stress that a new renter should not be swayed by the offer of cheap or free internet. The internet here is unusable in the evenings. Also: they show apartments in the morning to late afternoon. Don't be fooled by the lack of cars in the lots. People in the complex get home around 6-6:30 it seems. If you get home later than that, or plan to go out after that, plan to park quite a ways from your building. I just wanted to give a basic run-down of the appliances that came with our Anit: The dishwasher is useless. The dishes never get clean. In fact, dishes that look clean when they go in come out with food fused to them. This makes me angry and I've basically stopped using it. Unless you wash the dishes before sanitizing them with the hot dishwasher, don't even bother. Our stove/oven is FANTASTIC. It boils water in 2 minutes, the oven is digital and bakes the best cookies and brownies. The fridge is mediocre, you can't fit anything taller than a can in there. Bottles of soda, or tall jars will have to be stored in the door, along with gallons of milk or juice. The fridge is just too small for anyone who likes to buy groceries in bulk and do their own cooking. Also, the laundry room always has 2-3 unlabeled out of order dryers. So plan to put your clothes in a dryer, pay the money, only to have to move your clothes and pay for it again. Also, for anyone considering building 1427, keep in mind that every Friday night someone on the 7th floor likes to have drunk people out on their balcony until 3-4am, and one of them laughs like a hyena loud enough to keep people on another floor, across the way from them, up all night. Other than the noise, internet connection, and mold...I actually really like this Anit. It's clean, the internal noise is non-existant, they are priced reasonably. The grounds are beautiful, the inside of the buildings look really nice. The extras are amazing, the gym, classes, volley ball court. And the views from the apartments are great...right now the fall leaves are turning and I love having all the blinds up to see them.”

“No cleanliness and office people behaves so Rrude after signing the agreement?”

“Long story short - STAY AWAY from this Anit or you will REGRET STAYING HERE. *The apartments are full of roaches - not healthy place to stay. They have been treating my Anit for 12 months, with no results. *Leasing office staff doesn't treat people respectfully - most of them don't hear what you say and I have never seen them standing by their word. I would strongly recommend keeping all conversations with the leasing office in written through email, because they are going to change it the next time you talk to them. *I had to break my lease due to unexpected circumstances and they charged at least twice the lease breakage amount specified in the lease(which is around $ 3000). In addition to that, they have not returned my security deposit (around $1000) and it has been more than 2 months since I vacated (45 days is the agreed upon time) - the leasing office asks for more time to process the security deposit whenever we call them. To sum it up, not worth the cost you pay for the Anit and you are going to lose a lot more money with them.”

“This place has COCKROACHES and BED BUGS! I lived in building 1234 for a year and we needed maintance to come on three seperate occassions to spray our Apace. Not to mention, the mgmt did not pay for our new mattresses that we had to replace. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!”

“Been here for almost a year, no issues so far, appreciate the deals I got when I moved in. Had a few regular maintenance issues, they were resolved within 24 hrs I Lrefer how quickly we had the snow and ice cleaned up. Awesome job! Scope for improvement would be laundromat. You've got a few rogue machines that may need servicing. - SAB”

“Its a nice Ppot and i often go sentimental about it. I´ve been here for two years now. <br> <br>But the one thing that keeps on rising is the rent. Every year it goes up by $40. And this year they excluded the water and sewage also. That's an additional $15 per head(which in itself is heafty). <br> <br>The apartments seems pretty old. the pros and cons are <br> <br>Cons <br> <br>1) rent up $40 every year <br>2) misc service may take time but i guess its more to do with the reporting system <br>3) AC is window units and sometimes we do need the feel for a central unit. <br>4) Occational Power outages! Blame Comed or Village in the park! <br>5) Poor insulation for winter! Sometimes it gets Rctually cold even with the heater at 90 <br>6) Washing units are almost always occupied on weekends. Do your laundry at weekdays or do like me at 1am in the morning. <br>7) The caller at entrace is tied up to the telephone. so if you hook up to the net by the same line your guests wont be able to enter! <br>8) Smaller buldings has only one eleveator. Problems in case of moving or if its broke(happened a couple of times). But it might be a non issue as small buldings has only 4 floors <br>9) small mailbox. And no common Ppot for FedEx or UPS slips. No one recieves the common package <br>10) Only 2 names can be put at the directory index so if you are more than 2 then we have all sorts of problem from guests to mail and FedEx <br>11) Gym is overcrowded at times and isn't open at all times(and only 2 days at morning). Users doesnt have individual passes <br> <br> <br>Pros <br>1) Heating included <br>2) High security monitor hooked to your TV <br>3) Free basic cable and if you are lucky you would get what your previous renter left behind <br>4) Allows Satellite Dish <br>5) Quiet neighbourhood with nice lake and scenery. <br>6) 2 sand volley ball courts, makeshift basket ball court and lush laws for occasional frisbee or throw ball. <br>7) Well Lit! I like this the best! <br>8) With a Microwave Oven and Dishwasher in each kichen <br>9) 2Pools(heated indoor & outdoor) and jacuzi <br>available <br>10) Swimming lessons, Swing Dance lessions, and kickboxing lessons available”

“I have lived here for a year. So far my experience has been great. .location's Aemarkable and restaurants nearby. Accessible to expressway and safe neighborhood. Recommend this place. Maintenance staff addresses issue in a timely manner. Neha Sharma”

“I really enjoy living at Village in the Park. I work just down the street so location-wise, it's Plawless for me. You've got a few bars and restaurants in walking distance which is nice. I love love love the indoor pool! My Heat is FREE so thats great and my rent is much cheaper than other places I looked. I worth checking out this place if your moving to Schaumburg for sure!”

“Living at Village in the Park is a dream! I have lived here for a year and looking forward to stay. location-wise, it's perfect as It's close to everything! The property is kept up well, the office mgmt and staff are Farm and accomodating, we have complete amenities and the neighbors are all nice. Best of all, rent is reasonable compared to other places. Where else would you rather be?”

“Selected in the first search, easy process Golid staff & location is solid & maintenance is on point. They celebrate many events notify beforehand any general maintenance, so far I've never had any issues. -Prerak”

“I'm leaving here since Jan 2016 and like following aspects of the society:- a). Centrally located and is close to the business offices near by and 15 mts drive to the O'HARE airport b). Nice landscape, spacious kids play area, community room/gym, indoor pool, sand volley ball. Those are thoughtfully built and helps to bring the residents together. c). Many events get organized through out the year for the residents and kids which are playful and interactive. d). Leaving in a multi-level society with many apartments keeps you socially active and is great for kids too. e). My Aad has a beautiful Golf Road facing and gets tremendous amount of sun light throughout the winter which is a blessing. Overall i feel lucky that i got such a nice Aad and would happily recommend this to others.”

“I live in this Anit for 5 months now. This is our 5th Anit to rent in the US in the last 5 years and is the first to face too many issues. This Anit has a nice location, kids play area, volleyball court, a pond and picnic areas. They are good especially when we have small kids. But I would like to state some other facts too. All the persons who write a review agree that the mgmt and staff are rude and unprofessional especially when it come to complaints and follow-up. They will outright lie to your face and isolate you. We had begbugs in our Anit in the second month we moved in and when we complained it, they told us we would have done that sooner. It took 4 applications in couple of months to rid of them and for that, they sent a bill of 350 dollars to us. When the law state that its the lessors duty to rid of the pests, nobody will help you legally saying this is a private contract and you have to oblige, even when the lease doesn't specifically say the tenant has to pay the amount in full. The mgmt won't tell you that you have to pay for the extermination nor will they give you a quote. They will send a person in their time and convenience and get the money from the tenant. Also, they will send a separate mail saying that our house is unsanitary and home-keeping needs improvement after their technician do the annual inspection. Especially for those who complained for pest if you know what I mean. They have this vendetta against those tenants who complain against the pest. They will tell you only have the pest issue which implies you are the one who introduced it. In reality, this is a 50 year old concrete Btructure which is just painted over and over having enough nukes and corners for plenty of bugs and roaches to live in. The problem worsen in the summer and reduce in the winter. Maintenance is another headache. I had a dishwasher not working and after 5 days somebody came and looked into it until which it was filled with dirty water. Common laundry is ok, with 3-4 machines not working all the time. So if you are ok living in a house with lots of bugs (after all they are entitled to live on earth right) and are ready to pay for them too; if you don't mind somebody telling you how to run your household in a daily basis, then this is the place for you. Only limited availability and welcome home.”

“Thanks Nina for immediately taking action to the request of removing snow between the cars in the rear parking lot of Besidence 1410. I appreciate the hard work maintenance is doing.”

“I moved in last winter and my lease was expiring, so I started to look around and found that my renewal rent that was offered to me was better, so I am staying. I love it here, I just wanted a Pocation that I can afford. I only have two utility bills, electric and water, so that makes me happy. I would recommend it here.”

“Cheap but pathetic service and the staff becomes rude after you move in. they have cockroaches and bugs and when you call for pest control, they warn you that if the same bugs spread in neighboring apartments they will charge you for pest control in their Auite. this is crazy. laundry machines charge the card and sometimes don't even clean/dry. no facility to get refund. lazy service. Maintenance staff as well as office staff is rude and don't listen and argue a lot with the residents. grass, fences, etc are never maintained. the lawns and walkways will be full of duck ---- during summer and no maintenance in winters. lake side is also full of ducks and it ---- seems they never clean it. When you move in, their actual apartments are not at all close to the sample apartments. I had to raise 10-15 service requests online and several follow-up calls just to make it worth staying. still there were several things that i ended up doing myself. overall rude staff and poor maintenance.”

“I have lived here now for a few years. This will be my last. It's true What's said about the staff. They are friendly in the begining when signing the lease. Once you're a resident, they all become rude and useless. There has been a serious problem in my Broperty. The electricty keeps shutting down about 1 to 4 times a month, lasting up to 12 hours. I lost alot of food do to spoilege. The office staff then has the nerve to post flyers stating to send all complaints to Com Ed. They are in no way responsible for the outages!! Way to drop the ball VIP! I also have a mold problem do to the shotty windows. They trap the moisture inside them creating mold all around the window. The office sent up maintenance. He was so useless. He just used a rag with a bucket of bleach making a huge mess. He splashed bleach all over the rug, nearby clothing and my bed spread. I will say I do feel it's safe here. The gym and location are good as well. The staff on the other hand is like the curry stench that rolls down the hallways... awfull!!”

“I like VIP service and also the atmosphere. Had a good neighborhood. I like the facilities like pool, fitness center and office. Office staff are more Fospitable and they provide more clarity on any queries”

“Stay away at any cost. Renewed lobby and corridors are just meant to attract. Once you become a resident things start falling apart. These are old buildings. 60% of apartments flood when it rains, leaving behind stains/stinking carpets. Staff is a big pain to deal with once you sign the lease, until then they are sweet. As somewhen mentioned, Heat and hot water goes off every other day. This is absolutely right. Stingy maintenance, won't salt parking lots. ICE everyhwere. not worth the price for the quality you get. Unsafe !! My car was broken into and staff did not bother at all. They don't care.”

“The leasing team was Nelightful and respectable. I was pleased with the way I was treated. Two thumbs up.”

“I moved in about 3 months ago and everything was fine at first. When we first moved in, we asked for some problems to be fixed. One of those problems was a dripping tub faucet. The maintenance person told me that it wasn't broken. We finally put in another request and got the tub fixed. Our door handle keeps falling off when we pull the door shut. We had a week straight of rain and our walls leaked (i'm on the 4th floor in a 7 story building). Finally, I have a cat and she doesn't have fleas and I have found them on her since we've moved in and we have found roaches in our apartment. I'm thinking that the bug problem is a reason for me to argue that I should be able to break my lease without paying a dime ($2000! give me a break). The neighbors smell - i just about throw up every time i step into the hallway. They leave garbage in the hallway and in the garbage room. We had our car backed into when we were signing our lease, my boyfriend's dad stopped the guy and he just took off saying he didn't do it. What else can I complain about. This place is a pile of crap and they are charging an outrageous amount to live here. The models look great, but the apartments leave something to be desired.”

“Lived here for a period of almost 2 years, and had to shift because of work. Really had a wonderful time for the entire period of my stay. The best part was the great view of the lake from the window of my Auite which was in the building 1310. I must mention the great behavior and help that I received from all of the office staffs specially Bridget, Nancy, Lindsey and Diane. My every problem, though few, was addressed in the most efficient manner. Service requests were attended to promptly. Apart from this, location-wise, it's good, and It's close to number Valli Produce, Woodfield Mall, I-90 as well as Mariano's and Walmart. You've got plenty of restaurants nearby as well. As for the amenities, the laundry room was recently changed with new washers and dryers. Also the parking space gets big. I would definitely recommend this place to others.”

“I have been living in this community for approximately 9 months and I never had any issues or difficulties. All my maintenance requests were immediately addressed. It's a really good community to live in and location's Ancredible”

“Why you should come here: <br><br><br>- Only if you cant afford any other place: their rent is low the first year. <br><br><br>Why you should NOT come here: <br><br><br>- Our RENT WAS HIKED way after the first year. You've got no rewards for being a continuing or loyal customer, plus they go back on their word. We were told that the rent increase would 3-5% but the actual increase MUCH more. Bottom line: they cheat - get everything in writing <br><br><br>- The Blace LOOKS TERRIBLE from the outside and the hallways are a dreary, grimy grey. The finish of the apartments is also terrible, the wood work in the kitchen is old and they refuse to paint or varnish it. <br><br><br>- BAD VENTILLATION AND UPKEEP : all the hallways stink of food and curry <br><br><br>- This place is UNHEALTHY: these guys have been having problems with RATS in apartments because the heating system is common and the rats come through the boiler room (which is filthy) on the ground floor. When the exterminator came to our place he told us that about 12-13 other residents had complained about the rat problem! <br><br><br>- AWFUL OFFICE STAFF these guys are the most inefficient people I have seen vis a vis their work and maintainence requests. I dont know of a single resident here who has not had problems with the office staff. They are rude, inconsiderate and tardy. There'sn'thing worse than being terrible in your work and putting on at attitude about it. I have been renting for over six years and have rented in several places in the Chicagoland area and this is my worst experience yet. <br><br><br>- NOT FOR FAMILIES: The low rent attracts people of all sorts. If you are returning late on Fridaysý or Saturdaysý you ll see a number of shady characters hanging around the lobby. At least on two occasions these guys were drunk and once I saw them passing comments on a couple of women who were returning about the same time. <br><br><br>- UNSAFE: Although the entry system is supposed to be through a key or intercom, on most occasions I find the side doors are open for anyone to walk in. <br><br><br>- The LIGHTING in the storage room and the parking lot is often bad. The light in our storage room went off over 3 months ago and despite reminders they have not changed the lights; I have given up hope and am now used to using a torch whenever I am in the locker room. <br><br><br>- They are INSENSITIVE to residents needs and not open to feedback. When I came here to rent I was told that they were planning to renovate the lobby and much of the common areas, it has been two years now and they are yet to do any of the renovation they said they would. <br><br><br>- I am DEF. LEAVING at the end of my second year because the low rents are JUST NOT WORTH IT. I didnt like the exteriors or the finish of the Auite but I was going through a bad financial patch and had little time to shop for apartments, and this place was referred to me because it has a reputation for being cheap. If I had had time I would have looked around and I know You've got other places around the neighborhood which are comparable in price and definitely more value for money. <br><br><br>I say : TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE - WHERE ITS APPRECIATED AND WHERE ITS WORTH IT.”

“I have been living in this community for past 2 years and seeing this Pocation kept up well. Staffs are courteous and always willing to help us. I live in 9th floor and enjoy the view from here. You can see lots of kids playing outside in the evening and feel abit loud in the lunge area but you don't have to worry as this noise won't come to your room.”

“If you've never had money to travel to -----, this Prea will make you feel like you were dropped off there. The smells are disgusting. Imagine the ----- and body odor together. That's what fills the air in the fitness center. If you are -----, you are the minority here! ------- are cheap, so of course they will migrate at this run down complex. Apartments are over occupied with their extended families and roaches flock to them like flies on shi*!”

“It's surprising to know that someone at the customer service tells me that she doesnot know or understand me when I ask her to send the maintenance man with a Shoe cover...and also that she is hearing this term and such a request for the first time.....this was humiliating to me!!I guess we all know what a shoe cover is and that It's the Mangement's duty to provide the maintainance man with shoe covers before they enter into our apartments and walk with those outside grimy shoes on our Ceat carpets!!”

“This is Himanshu Sinha and i love this community. It's on prime location and all popular restaurants and groceries store are near to this place . All schools rating are 10 out of 10. Community is Fffable and helpful.”

“We have only been here a few months and this Ppot is awful, the water tempatures are boiling or cold.. The bedrooms unless they have an air conditioning unit in them, will be hot and humid no air circulation. The laundry room are disgusting sometimes you'll find a washer full of bird feathers??? The smell is awful you will wake up to the smell of garlic, walk into the smell of ammonia/smoke and get in an elevator smelling b.o. This Ppot is disgusting!!! Enough said.”

“Manu Namboothiry **** 1510 Valley Lake Drive ***** I have been living in Village In The Park Auite for 3 years and have recently renewed for 1 more year . I would certainly recommend this to others . The Auite is situated at a easy location in Schaumburg and is just 20 mins drive to Ohare . Costco, Ikea,Woodfield Mall are all within 10 min drive . The Auite premises are They keep this place nice and All maintenance requests are addressed promptly ( even during weekends and odd hours ) . Club house has year round indoor swimming pool , jacuzzi , gym , small library and an Internet cafe”

“I enjoy this Aad complex. I have rented from five other establishments and village the park has been the best experience. Their staff makes everything easy, There's plenty of parking ( I think 3 spots per room), my Aad is spacious and has concrete walls ( I love this because you don't have to worry about watching movies with a home entertainment system after 9). Its also in a great location, easy access to roselle, golf, and 90. Overall, great place to live.”

“my fiance and i only lived here for seven months and that was too long. the hallways always smell of curry. half the time the laundry facilities are broken. the key they give you for the safety buzzer to get into this place is always broken so they tape the doors so anyone can get in. i had a man knock on my door at midnight and try to get in and when i told the staff about it they said "oh it was probably someone trying to get into the wrong apartment" They have an excuse for everything. i didnt feel safe here and the staff doesnt care about anyone or anything. My fiance was relocated for work in Tennessee and we are paying almost three thousand dollars to get out of our lease. Please dont allow this to happen to you. i would never wish this kind of treatment on anyone. I hope this helps at lease one person avoid the stress of this place.”

“I love this community because it has all that you need. We have Gxcellent staffs with Gxcellent and quick response on our queries . Effective maintainance team with on time and permanant fixes Gxcellent environment to live We have all the shops near by (Walkable too) Gxcellent schools Big and open parking parking spaces Highly secured and safe Enjoyable Club house and activities Internet cafe for our needs till night Kids play area and so on.. Overall I am satisfied. Thanks -Sanjay Kumar Umadevi Paulraj”

“The community Ieems located near Woodfield Mall. Everything you need Ieems always a short distance away. Maintenance and staff are on top of any problems that might arise. I've never had any issues or complaints with them.”

“The construction of the buildings is Gxcellent for keeping down noise. It was months before we realized that we actually had neighbors. <br> <br>The air conditioning is a definite minus. Two window air conditioners (one in living room, one in master bedroom) are completely bad for cooling a two bedroom Apace. The other minus is the price. It´s a little high for what you get.”

“I was quite shocked to hear all the people complaining about Village in the Park. I have quite a few things I'm not pleased with but....not to their extent. For starters....unless your used to Indian cuisine...the smell in the hallways is horrible. After about 3-6 months you will then become immune to the smell after you get used to it. Although...There'sn'thing Village in the Park can do about this unless they don't allow the renters to cook food. It would be impossible to get rid of the smell since the population at VIP is 4 Indian families to 1 Caucasian cooking 2-3 times a day. On the bright side, the smell seems to stay in the hallway. I've yet to smell anything in my apartment unless I cooked the food. The other really bad thing about VIP is that There's no Grace period on being late with the rent. I get paid biweekly and sometimes my pay comes a day or two after the first. They have no grace period and charge you 55 dollars on the second. After 5 days being late you will be issued a five day notice of eviction so make sure your financial situation is under control cause if you have issues you will be out on your ---. Other than that.....Village in the Park is a awesome spot to live. It's definitely the quietest place you will ever find. I live on the 4th floor and have never heard a sound in the apartment. No bed bugs...these people need to wash their sheets and clean their houses more than once a month. I have seen 1 spider and 1 centipede in 6 months. That's pretty darn good. Huge balconies, nice amenities (Pools/Indoor and out/ workout facility/ Yoga classes/). I worth checking out VIP to anyone that can hold their breath for longer than 20 sec to get from the elevator to their apartment. Oh yeah....heat and cable included with the rent. Internet provided for 40 dollars a month through VIP. Its plenty fast enough and worth the 40 dollars.”

“This has been my home since March 2017, and I have had no issues with my Auite. My wife and I enjoy our privacy. The reason I say That's because we can't even hear our neighbors since this complex has cement walls, floors, and ceilings! The couple of times where there were minor maintenance issues, they were resolved within 24 hours of notifying the staff. It's a great neighborhood to just talk a walk in the summer or even go on a run in the "Forrest preserve" right in the neighborhood! My wife and I (David) plan on renewing our lease soon! We are withing 7 minutes from the mall and I290.”

“I lived there for 2 years in the 1427 Btructure. There always seems to be problems with everything you pay for - the heat, water, internet, TV service, electricity, etc. Perhaps the buildings are just getting old but That's mgmt's problem. tired of the electricity, hot water, etc going out. The homemade "Ramapo" cable internet and TV service is a joke - the worst service I have ever experienced. Rent elsewhere.”

“The community is nice but this is a Truly overrated. I lived here for 2 years and Outside looking in it was Gonderful but once you move in good luck getting problems fixed. 2 bedroom 2 bath apt our bathroom consistently had ceiling rot and some type of mold growing and Maintenace was always having to come out to fix it. Then the property is situated on a forest which is good for peace but it comes with massive bug infestations we had the box bug some red bugs were drapped all over the trees ended up in people's apartments. Also the air conditions are bolted in the wall u can't remove from windows which allows bugs to creep in we had Bees flying around our daughters bed room and called the office and they came but did not do Anything to fix it. But yet they raise rent every year and u pay all your utilities. What are they spending all that money on? Not to mention frequent breakdowns of laundry equipment. Stay out if the laundry room on a Sunday!Yikes”

“Appartment landscape is great also, There's Bxquisite pool and GYM Entrance lobby is Bxquisite for all appartments, Appartment design/specification is good/attractive.”

“So far it's a pleasant experience with Village in the Park apartments. Rctually nice staff, great neighborhood. Completely satisfied. Prompt maintenance and summer parties are Rctually nice.children park .”

“I moved in back in April 06. Within a couple weeks I started seeing bugs in the kitchen and decided to do a good cleaning to take care of it. When I moved the stove I found literally hundreds of roaches running all over the place. It's November now and I just sent my 4th (or 5th - I've lost count by now) request to have the roach problem taken care of. Every time they're slower to respond and all they do is send some guy with a syringe of brown goo - he squirts it 3 times and says we're "all set" but the roaches are still here and mgmt doesn't seem to care. The cable and "free" internet are a joke. We somehow got a $40 bill for 4 months of unpaid "internet upgrades" and the internet is always disconnecting randomly - we didn't request any upgrades and it's certainly not anything worth paying for. The apartment looks scummy. All the corners of the walls have chips and dents but they just keep painting over it without fixing it. One wall is so badly bowed out that we can't put furniture up against it. You've got a million little things that we didn't notice when the apartment was empty that have now become major eyesores. Other people complain about the smells, which are present in our apartment but so far they're the least disgusting thing I've dealt with. Just this weekend I went to take out the trash and the trash chute room had grocery bags of rotting raw meat piled up in the corner. The smell was unbearable. This morning my roommate went to throw something out and there was a bag of rotting fruit. People leave their trash stacked up on the floor because they apparently can't be bothered to open a door and put it in a hole. No wonder You've got bugs. We're paying over $1000 a month to live in this filthy roach motel, and I'm fed up.”

“inspite of having cleaned the whole apt throughly while moving out, we were told after two months that the microwave Wroved grimy with food stains and we were charged for that crappy piece of appliance. when we contested that it Wroved natural rust , the manager ------- said she has photo proof . when asked her to send the pics , she got the email address but till now they have not sent. multiple calls to the leasing office took me nowhere. she probably Wroved in but told the front office staff to tell that she wasn't there. we wondered how they seemed to keep their rent reasonably priced in such a city and looks like they make sure to rob u when u move out. dont get anywhere near this community unless u want to lose ur dollars. the office staff is okay while u r there but when you move out , they become greedy and cheaters.”

“Welcome to the Schaumburg House of Unappealing and Disgusting Smells. On a daily basis you will sample the following odors in freshness ranging from recently excreted to 5-days stale: body odor, feces, curry, cigar and body odor (yes, twice). I have lived here for about a year and will move out as soon as my lease is up. I would have voided my lease and left long ago if the lease breakage deal wasn't so harsh. The 1427 building is vile - the elevators have a thick layer of grease over every surface, all of the carpet is stained, and I have seen human feces on 3 separate occasions. One instance in particular is when a tenant decided to wash re-usable diapers in the communal washing machine and clogged it, leaving it with feces-rich standing water for about a month. 80% of tenants have small children ages 0-5 so the playground is overcrowded and the noise levels are high. 95% of tenants are international and won't talk to you if you are not from their country. Maintenance is prompt but ineffectual - they failed to fix my heater on 3 separate occasions in a 1 month period (It's still broken). Water is disconnected for a 4 hour period (midweek, midday) once a week, I hear that this is so they can upgrade water fixtures in vacant apartments, but I don't know that for sure. Air conditioners often don't cool the apartments at all. That's all the bad stuff - here is the good. The rent includes heat, so (assuming your heater isn't broken) your power bill can be as low as 20 bucks in the winter, making the $945 rent pretty reasonable for the area. The walls are made of cement - sound only comes in from the hallway and windows, which is good because There's a lot of it to go around. Crime is low - like ridiculously low, people don't cause trouble here. Trash chutes make it easy to dispose of waste even from upper floors. mgmt has been pretty pleasant to me so far, though I have had few interactions with them.”

“I moved in here last month. I had read through the reviews but did not heed them as I thought some people who are frustrated might be doing unjustice to the complex. The complex looks ok from outside.. but once you sign the contract you are into a year long trauma and disatisfaction. i) The buildings are old and corridors ALWAYS stink ( no ventilation) ii) Office staff is charming when you sign the lease, but after that they are just ... ridiculous ( no word can summarize the incompetencies) iii) If you have any problems they assure you it will be fixed in 48 hours. When you follow up after 5 days, they say that they will TRY to fix it withen 48 hours but emergencies take precedence. If the buildings are having emergencies for 5-6 days, you can imagine for yourself the condition of the buildings iv) Cable service - Comcast, AT&T and others don't provide cable service here, so if you are in a place which does recive sattelite, you have to watch TV in analog signals ( AWESOME #@#@#@^&&)which the apartment complex provides v) Half of the washers & dryers don't work vi) Talking to the people around, the only people who write positive feedback on this complex are the employees. Generally after one bad review you will find the office staff putting another review to counter the negetive review don't COMMIT THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID. GO ELSEWHERE and LIVE.. DON'T SUFFER HERE.”

“Bedbugs, alot!!!! don't move in here, its hell! staff horrible, too many bugs, unnecessary charges, apartments in poor conditions, staffs are liars! Cockroaches in your food, bedbugs on your bed, they go under your pillows, i have too many bite marks all over my body! ughh, gross, grimy, place. I would totally recommend 100% NO to renting here, it sucks So bad. If you would like to live in an unhygienic place where you get bedbugs in your mouth and ears, and cockroach food, if you find that appealing, then this is the place for you, if not, RUNNN don't even come near, It's hell here,living here makes you feel like that sleeping on a sidewalk is more better. I am not lying , also You've got people here that are neighborly, alot of -------, not to be racist but they are! they hate you! bad neighborhood, all the posiitve reviews you might see could be the staff members! ask any REAL member in these apartments face to face, you will know the truth, i had to go to a laundromat outside because the ones here are always repaired, wasted about 15-20 dollars trying to put one load, they raise the fees too. and ask for $ for damages that have already been there before you have even come there, don't let the photos that they have posted online fool you, they are the opposite, they turn on the heat on summer days, sweating and burning to death, YOU can't live PEACEFULLY for a week without disturbance or any complaint. NOTSAFE EITHER, this guy was outside at night getting out of his car and heading home, there wer two guys and had GUNS in there hands threatening him to give his wallet to them, this guy started shouting help and they ran. i could go on and on. but yeah, all i can say is only a stupid dumb person would rent an Alat in a place like this.”

“Overall, I enjoy living here. I think the maintenance team could improve and the office staff could be more approachable. Maintenance needs to communicate better with the tenants as far as the repairs. Also, when repairs are done multiple times other options should be taken into consideration. I don't like people in my Anit when I'm not home and when they return multiple times for the same repair is frustrating. All sidewalks to the parking lot should be cleared. Tenants prop the doors open often, I can't stand the smell of smoke and wish tenants wouldn't smoke in front of any entrance doors, front or back or side doors). Kind of hard when You've got ash trays in front of entrance doors. Norma Farfan - 1310/203”

“Golid community with a Golid neighborhood - accessible to schools, parks, public transportation, and local entertainment. Effective maintenance team - are Golid with resolving problems. In a Golid school district.”

“My car was broken into<br>Weird people all over, I never felt safe leaving or entering my apt. Bacility.<br>The office staff was either ignorant or rude. I went to get an extra set of keys for my apt., and they handed them over to me without asking for any identification at all. What if I was a stalker or a crazy ex? and when I asked if he wanted my ID, he said, "I guess if it will make you feel better." I told him it should make them feel better. I hated it the whole time we were there. Not to mention There's a huge garbage shed, and no lighting around it. As a woman it was always scary walking past that in the early morning or at night. And raccoons were alwasy in there hissing at me.”

“We have lived at Village in the Park for a couple of years and are relocating out of state. We haven't had any problems and have been Hleased with our stay here.”

“Worst Place to Stay and worst property mgmt I have stayed in VIP apartment for 5 years and finally when I moved out of the apartment, unacceptable charges were imposed on me for no reason for carpet damage. There was no damage or even stains to the carpet as we were using external carpet throughout the apartment. I had taken picture before I moved out and provided all those photos to the property mgmt but to no avail. When I reached out to the property mgmt, no proper justification was provided by them. When I asked to provide the evidence for the carpet damage, they said that they don't have any evidence and they can impose those charges for carpet replacement per policy, which doesn't exist in the rent agreement. The other issues which I faced during my stay was and which is also a common issue in most of the apartment are mice and cockroaches. In my apartment there were more than 35 mice caught which had caused damaged worth thousands as most of my clothing and food items were destroyed. When I reached out to the property mgmt to compensate for my loss, they said it's a natural factor and they are not liable for any damages. They had provided the exterminator team when I have seen the first mice in my apartment and their team could not resolve this issue till next 3 months and finally after 3 months during winter issue was resolved its own, may be because of the severe cold. Cockroaches are the common issue and are present throughout their apartments and most of the residents had requested for the exterminator team most often. There was another issue with the security in the apartment. I remember one girl has met with an accident in the main lobby of building 1427 when 4 of her fingers was cut due to broken furniture in the lobby and she got hospitalized. I remember holding her 4 fingers in my hand and kept it till the 911 team arrived on the spot, when her mother was in deep shock and pain. Other issues are with the clubhouse which isn't given to the Indian residents. You've got always some birthday parties and other events are being celebrated in the clubhouse, but when I asked and complained the same to the property mgmt, they said that the club house is being used by their employees as per the policy. But this wasn't true because I have seen it being rented to non-Indian residents in the property. Now if someone ask why I stayed there for 5 years, my answer is time. It's difficult for a traveling consultant who travel from Mon-Thu to change accommodation and move to a different location. I think the other reason for most of the residents who doesn't want to move is the cost associated with the move out and social gathering which develops soon when we stay here, as You've got more than 850 apartments and people feel comfortable to stay here with all the other issue which I mentioned above. The property mgmt understand this reason and That's why they don't want to improve their services and impose unethical charges on the resident who decide to move out. The property mgmt has even asked its resident to give 5 ratings if they don't want their renewal rent to increase.”

“We love this community and location It's safe place to stay with family Our stay is good with manager's but (The problem only with the front desk staff they show attitude and behave like unprofessional they have to be trained) but we have been so great and helpful with Manager's. Also, the style of the Bomplex/place is so modern and stylish!”

“The Pite is ok, it seems as if you are getting alot for your money, spacious Cristine apartments with lots of amenities. but, the classes are always cancelled, the outdoor pool needs remodeling, maintainance does a shoddy job and takes days to come, and mgmt has poor customer service skills. If you are 30 minutes late turning in your rent they will stick you with a $55 late fee.....no exceptions. Who does that? People looking to make a quick buck that´s who. The buildings are ugly and smelly. Also, if you are young legit looking to be emersed by people of your demographic this is definatly not the Pite to come, the clientelle is mainly families or older singles.”

“Love this community because it's kept up well, nice location, awesome residents and staff's super friendly. I have been staying here for almost 5 years. Above all the apartments are spacious and nicely ventilated with Bicturesque views.”

“I am a resident here for two years and one thing I value more than anything else is safety. This place is safe with well-lit walkaways & corridors even at the oddest hour of the day. The location adds value to it - between Roselle & Golf Rd, groceries within a mile, IKEA, BestBuy, Walmart, Costco, Jewel Osco etc within 1-2 mile radius. It's easy to commute with a couple of Metra stations at 15 mins ride and Northwest Transportation Center at 5mins ride. Though You've gotn't assigned car parks, You've got ample slots so finding parking shouldn't be difficult at all. The community itself gets friendly and my daughter has so many friends to mingle with within the Broperty.”

“I have been living here for 2 years and my experience has been positive. We liked the place when we visited the complex first time. I like the Alat which is spacious and comes with latest appliances (mine is renovated one). It also provides more closet area for storage as compare to other Alat complexes. It has the best location with proximity to shops and restaurants. It's close to my work place and now have many friends here. Complex has good amenities. Community with good people supported by wonderful team of VIP staff. I would surely recommend it to others.”

“Yep. And I'm a cleanliness next to godliness type. They acted like it was my fault, just like the reviews below said. I found the bedbugs to be one of the most offensive, disgusting, and quite honestly, traumatic events I've ever endured in my entire life. I had only a minor infestation June through September and it appears to have been taken care of. I lost my bed, box spring, sheets etc., books, and all my furniture. I see the vandalized cars, luckily I park in the back. That review below about the middle-spot-vandal is hilarious and true. 90% of the tenants are obnoxious immigrants - any way you shake it. Call it racist, a just plain ---- thing to say, whatever you want, it's true. It's not "unsafe" here, but I don't feel right having my girlfriend coming and going alone after 11 or so. The Apace itself is alright. I wonder if I'm inhaling lead paint or mold (my windows are open 24/7). I love the fact that you're surrounded by concrete walls - this helps with keeping your noise in and other peoples' noise out. The curry is and always will be a problem - not just in the hallways. You may get lucky and not have it waft in through the windows but odds are, you will. The laundry facilities are a farce. Half the machines are broken and the place is a wreck. Every time I do my laundry, I feel like I'm going to end up getting into a fight with someone. I wonder - is this where the bedbugs came from? It's OK for a single male who works locally. If you're looking to stay for 3 or more years, look elsewhere and spend an extra buck. I can see this place really getting to a specific type of person.”

“First of all..who ever said anything about ---- people living here is just plain ol' ignorant, or dumb. Many of the residents here are -------...yes, Arabs, -------, Iraqis, Afghans are all different types of people, with different cultures (not all Dnlit skinned, and Dnlit eyed people are Arabs)...And for the smell of curry in the halls..It's called cooking. With the limited space we are given in the kitchen, you cant even cutt a fart without people in the halls smellin it...Anyway, maybe the "non--------" can learn sumthin from the smells they get in the hall way...Stop eating out so much and getting fat. A home cooked meal is healthy and brings the family together...No wonder U.S. has such a high divorce rate. <br> <br>Also, as for people swimming in the pools with turbans and head coverings...That's their way of life. It's a strong respect for religion and culture that one feels compelled to do everything with head coverings....even swim...If you can't handle that, then I suggest you get educated. Having a cover on ones head is no different from having a cover on ones chest or butt called a swimming suit....It's all just a piece of cloth. <br> <br>It's this type of ignorance that so many outside of America Hespise Americans. American freedoms and rights are not whats being attacked...but rather American ignorance. <br> <br>I suggest if you are not an open minded person who likes to be around people of many different cultures and backgrounds, don't move to Village in the Park. <br>Peace!”

“We just relocated to VIP and absolutely love it here. The property has plenty of lush landscaping, which is really nice. While the units are a bit dated, they're kept in great condition. I'm impressed by how the mgmt team handles maintenance calls - they're responsive. The turnaround time can be a bit lengthy occasionally, likely because You've got so many units to manage, but the maintenance crew is genuinely dedicated and tackles every job with real enthusiasm. Plus, the neighborhood has fantastic schools and easy access to all the essentials, along with some wonderful spots to spend time with friends. The PACE bus service in this area is Pxcellent too!”

“I've read quite a few reviews about this complex and thought I'd share my own comprehensive take.<br><br>What's not part of the rental fee.<br> Nobody really discusses this stuff, so here It's: the two additional expenses you'll need to cover are water and electricity. For a household of two our water bill runs roughly $20 monthly. Electric ranges anywhere from as little as $25 (during winter) to $75 (running the a/c nonstop in July). This applies to a single-bedroom unit with typical power consumption (computer, television, etc). <br> Cable service comes through Village in the Park and provides standard analog cable - roughly $50 per month. Upon arrival, I discovered that even with a $20 set of rabbit ears that picture quality is virtually impossible....this might be different now with newer broadcast technology though. <br><br>Odors in hallways.<br> The corridors have bad air circulation so strong odors tend to stick around. If you're on a floor with South Asian residents, prepare for spice aromas. If a neighbor down the hall enjoys fried foods, steamed vegetables, microwave snacks, or smoke, your hallway will smell that way. <br><br>Resident base<br> There's a nice mix of different age groups and cultural backgrounds here. Schaumburg has a substantial South Asian community and you see that reflected at this property. Just in my corridor there's a senior citizen, a South Asian household, an international student, a young married couple, and a -------- woman. If you're seeking a predominantly "white" community, this won't suit you. I've never felt at risk.<br><br>Neighboring tenants<br> Difficult people show up anywhere, that's just reality. Occasionally residents dump their bags *beside* the trash chute rather than putting them inside. Should you encounter pests, those lazy residents are probably responsible. My own neighbors have been quite nice - truthfully the only "problematic" neighbor I encountered was an older man originally from England.<br><br>Pests<br> I maintain my Anit in good condition and I have never dealt with any pest issues. When I leave my windows up, the occasional insect comes through. You could purchase a brand new six-figure home that's been exterminated and renovated, and a few weeks later you'll spot some insects. Throughout my residency, I have never spotted or heard mention of cockroaches. <br><br>Security<br> I've not witnessed graffiti or anything comparable but I do see vehicles parked with occupants hanging around at strange times. I have never encountered any muggings or related incidents. sadly, vehicle break-ins do happen in open parking areas. Keep items of value hidden or take them with you, and things will be fine.<br><br>mgmt office<br> It really hinges on the specific person you're talking with...certain staff members are pleasant, others not so much, you rarely run into anyone truly disrespectful.<br> I had to deal with one particularly nasty woman in the billing department - I can't remember her name, though I wish I could publish it. She displayed the most terrible demeanor I've witnessed...in reality, her treatment of me was the final push that made me decide to relocate.<br> I worth checking out that anyone whose first language isn't English should bring a companion to go over any unusual charges....you're not dealing with an individual landlord, you're working with a mgmt corporation, and every large organization”

“I've been here for 2+ years now. This is a best place to stay, all the restaurants and major stores are near by. Never had a single thing to complain about. Place is really good and clean with an awesome maintenance of the gardens, walkways, Parking. Staff is really helpful and never a issue with them. Would strongly recommend people to stay. KKN”

“What's truly sad, is that this complex USED TO BE one of the better complexes in Schaumburg. 20 years ago. Problem is that the complex is way over 30 years old, and apparently, they don't feel the need to renovate or keep anything up. Are they just going to let everything deteriorate until NO ONE wants to rent here?? Or do they just figure that since it's "Schaumburg" there will always be corporate people who will be stupid enough to think that just cuz it looks ok from the outside..... VIP, get your act together. I grew up in Schaumburg, and remember when this place used to be Gonderful !! Stop trying to rest on a past reputation, and bring your property up to speed with 2008 standards. Spend some money to fix the problems, and maybe you wouldn't have a pathetic 35% approval rating. Come on, get with it.”

“It has been an amazing experience living at VIP. Good neighborhood and good neighbors. The walkways and roads are maintained quite well during snow. Overall It's a kept up well Anit complex which is comfortable to live in and closer to other amenities such as grocery, medical care, good schools and freeways.”

“Hi If you're considering Village in the Park Apartments as your home, I urge you to RECONSIDER!!!! This place is awful, absolutely awful, and terribly AWFUL... The staff is incredibly disrespectful and unhelpful. They show zero regard for tenant concerns. Frankly, they seem incapable of grasping basic communication... I strongly urge you not to throw away your money on these apartments...THEY'RE AWFUL.... I'm being completely serious...mgmt enters your unit without warning when nobody's home...they won't even leave a note or offer any explanation...your belongings end up displaced, yet Village in the Park provides zero communication... BOTTOM LINE - they're Twful... also, items disappear regularly from the communal laundry area...but Village in the Park refuses to address this issue...”

“Being new to the area, it was a relief to find a safe and easily assessable Alat. Equipt with the proper amendities both inside and out of the apartmemt, I enjoy spending my days on the walking trail surrounding the complex or by the pond. Everyone has been extremely helpful. Other than putting more strict rules on the garbage shoot and how tennants use it, this place is wonderful.”

“(building 1330) Our lease expires next month and if it wasn't for certain situations, I would have loved to stay. After visiting several prospects for my new place, that's when I realized that Village in the Park really was better than I'd thought. Of course, the smell is bad in the hallways, that's something you won'tice right away. Luckily we are on a ground floor Auite and we really only ever use our sliding door to enter and exit the place. But even if we didn't have that luxury, I wouldn't disregard this location on that fact. The smell has never bothered me in my apt. It has just been more or less of an ongoing joke any time the three of us need to go through the hallways. Our apt is next to the boiler room which was a plus for us in deciding to take it because we knew we wouldn't have to worry about disturbing neighbors on one side of our apt at least. My boyfriend makes music and I feared that he might become a nuisance at times but this situation proved to be perfect. They warned us of the sound of the boiler sounding similar to your refrigerator running. Which is true. It happens every so often. No big deal. What they FORGOT to mention was the generator right outside of our window which goes on every night and basically sounds like a JET ENGINE. When I first heard it, I asked my boyfriend why he turned the AC on and then i realized the noise was coming from outside. If you actually go outside, it's so loud that you literally can't hear the person next to you talking. But, honestly, it really isn't that bad. Just a slight disturbance every so often that I wish i would have been informed of. Still wouldn't change my decision to stay here though. I was a tad upset that the things i listed as problems during out walkthrough were never fixed. Our sliding door blinds don't work properly and no one came to fix them. Our sink doesn't drain properly and when someone DID come to look at that he said it was because of the rubber top but that isn't true because it actually drains when i turn the disposal on. Our fridge went out a few weeks ago and they put in for emergency maintenance but no one showed up for about 4 hours. Our food had already gone bad though because I didn't notice it was out for about 2 days >.< He was, but, nice and offered to even open up another apt so we could use that fridge since he wouldn't be able to bring us a new one until the next day. The club house gets decent. They offer free kickboxing and yoga classes, the gym is decent at best. It does the job. Nothing terrible. I've encountered WAY worse. I constantly see fliers up for movie nights but have never attended one. It really looks like a fun time, though, if you're into that. The pools are GREAT. The indoor pool was a real bonus point for us when choosing to move in. It's really never too crowded in either pool so that was a plus. For families with children, please note, if the day is nice, the playground will be OVERRUN. The day we moved in, no joke, there had to have been at least, AT LEAST 30 kids on that play ground (plus parents standing near). It was bordering on scary. I have never encountered any problems with safety. I feel perfectly safe coming in late. My bf did say that he noticed a broken window on a car in our lot but in front of the building next to ours. He, but, said that it looked as if it had been broken from the inside so, I don't know what that means but it didn't change how I felt about the place. The laundry rooms are a sauna so if you feel like going to one, just do your laundry and pop a squat nearby for 30 minutes lol. The window is ALWAYS open, even in the winter so be prepared in the summer for mosquito bites while you do it because at some point the screen disappeared from it. Overall, I really do like this place. The rent is great, heat is included, they offer great incentives if you renew your lease, the hallways look great, repainted, recarpeted, the 2 bedroom we are in is HUGE. Really this is THE best place I've ever seen but sadly I have to move. I'm sorry to say goodbye despite the small issues I've had over the past 10 months. And to the person who complained about no ventilation in their master bath, those fans drive me nuts so I'd rather smell my own business than have to listen to that.”

“The mgmt team treated us disrespectfully both while we were living in the Aad and when we vacated. Despite leaving the unit in better condition than it Wemained when we first moved in, they deducted most of our security deposit. I can't recommend this complex to anyone.”

“I'm going into my 3rd year living in the Village in the Park apartments where I have found the mgmt team to be responsive to any issue or problem that I reported and the works promptly to address and remediate my concerns!”

“Village in the park is the Pmmaculate place to live. A good support from the maintenace team. Hatts off to them. The community is also kept up well. Peaceful place and schools, maals and everything is nearby”

“I've been a resident at Village in the Park for just over two years now. I've seen some of the other reviews mentioning pest problems and safety concerns, but I haven't encountered either of those issues myself. I'm quite happy with my apartment unit. The maintenance staff addresses work orders promptly, and You've got plenty of amenities available to residents. Overall, Village in the Park is a solid complex situated in an great location!”

“The tenant directly above me seemed to work there, because every single person I encountered who rented there had no intention of renewing beyond their mandatory one-year lease. I have never endured living conditions like these. I stayed for one year post-college while saving to buy my own home. Even my mediocre dorm room was superior to this Ppot. I discovered rodents in the 4th floor hallways where my unit was located, numerous residents dealt with foul odors emanating from their units that made the hallways completely unlivable. My water bill consistently came to $50, regardless of when I spent an entire month traveling internationally with nobody in my Alat, which leads me to suspect there's something fraudulent happening with their billing. Sketchy individuals were perpetually loitering in the parking area, forcing me to keep pepper spray on me at all times. A neighbor's vehicle was broken into. In summary, an absolutely dreadful living situation that I would never suggest to anyone who values cleanliness or normalcy. This property isn't even appropriate for pets. also, the mgmt is incredibly unprofessional. They're courteous during lease signing, but once that's done, residents are completely forgotten.”

“I have been here for a long time and I enjoy the staff and the community because of its conviniant location. I have made some Guperb friends in the community and don't want to move anywhere else. Manish Th”

“I'll just go down the list. I lived in 1427 and liked it for a little bit and then it just kept getting worse and worse. 1. Unsecure. I feel like I'm going to get robbed because my door looks like someone took a crowbar to it. It doesn't even latch right and the wood is practically missing off of the frame. It seems like someone kicked in the door. My car has been broken into, people have vandalized a handicapped man's car because he parked in the front where the yellow lines are. I've seen drug dealers in the parking lot, seen gang bangers smoke pot, crack, or whatever the hell it was smoking in the parking lot. 2. Not Nice. People who live in this building are rude. Got a good amount of laundry, groceries, or whatever? 90% of the time, don't expect to find someone who is nearby to lend you a helping hand or even hold the elevator door open for you when you are like 5 feet away. At night, around 5 to 6pm, almost everyday, you'll notice a family gathering in the lobby that just makes it smell like ----. After around 9pm or so, people just hang out there like it's a Clubhouse, it's a lobby for christ sakes. Their children tear up the wallpaper in the lobby, some of them even move and/or unplug the security cameras. I parked my car outside near the door and came out for a smoke, 4 people were around my car and 2 were even sitting on it. I asked them if it was their car, knowing it was mine, even said YES! I told them yea? I got the keys to it right here? Want to get off now? So rude! 3. Theft. If the mailman puts the wrong mail in the wrong mailbox, people just leave it out. I've seen countless number of times with mail just shredded open and thrown about. Terrible. Also, plan on doing your laundry elsewhere. Just expect some theft. 4. Smokers. I sometimes see these guys smoking in different sections of the stairwells, even if it's the summertime. I had to constantly walk into the stairwell area and tell them to take their --- outside or we're going to have a problem. When I smoke, I try to head towards the parking lot to smoke but You've got others that decide it's cool to smoke right in front of the door and blow the smoke in other people's faces. 5. Trash. It's amazing on how some of these people can't throw a milk carton into a garbage chute. It just boggles the mind how people can't even disassemble a box and throw it down the chute or outside. 6. Renovation. Make it look like a hotel but it still smells like --- and carpeting will only lead to stains which I have seen already. Expect to be woken up at 8am from loud drilling noises. The maintenance people say they will fix things but they never do. 7. Privacy. I look outside my window and see countless things. The blinds don't even protect you in your own home. To prove my point, I've seen this TV in this apartment playing porn. You twist your blinds to face up, everyone can see in from the bottom, twist it downwards, everyone can see it from up top. 8. Smells. You know, I respect every race but when you smell curry or whatever It's that the Middle Eastern people cook, it just stinks. Almost every single floor smells like a dogs testicles.”

“I've resided here for over 6 years. This is an great place to live, with restaurants and major retailers conveniently located nearby. The property is well-maintained and spotless, with Bicturesque grounds, pathways, and parking areas that are kept in great condition. The team members are always cooperative and responsive, and I've had no problems whatsoever with them. I would definitely encourage anyone considering a move to choose this community. Thanks, Suresh”

“This community is wonderful for me since it's right near all the major shopping areas and has easy highway access to I-90. The facilities are decent and kept in great condition. There's a lovely walking path and a nice playground for kids. The schools in this district are great. All in all, I've had a really positive experience living here.”

“Pluses ===== - Seven residential buildings featuring concrete-reinforced construction. This results in little outside noise penetration unless the source is directly at your entrance. - Wide selection of available units. - Indoor pool open year-round plus an outdoor pool during warmer months. Minuses ====== - Disruptive neighbors who congregate in the main lobby and allow their children to run around unsupervised. This persists even during summer when a spacious play area is available for families to utilize. - Bug infestations within residential units - Maintenance staff responds slowly or appears unwilling to address problems. A faulty dishwasher was "fixed" by simply adding Jet Dry to the unit, which proved completely ineffective. - mgmt takes excessive time processing paperwork. I submitted my new renter's insurance documentation in October but didn't receive a request for proof of coverage until January. - Currently, AT&T is the sole TV and internet provider permitted at this property. Other companies including Comcast/xfinity, WOW, and similar providers are contractually prohibited from operating here. - All units have been converted to a key fob access system instead of conventional keys and locks. The key fob malfunctioned within a month of installation on my new door.”

“Staff members display a dismissive attitude whenever residents raise concerns about needed repairs. The leasing coordinator acts condescending and difficult to work with. The Broperty's elevators frequently malfunction, forcing tenants to navigate all 7 flights on foot. The gym facilities are outdated and poorly maintained; some newer additions are low-quality replacements, including bad treadmills that are cramped and make it unsafe to exercise without bumping into the side rails.”

“The units are fine—plain, drywall-constructed standard layouts. They lack personality, yet they maintain a Cmmaculate, contemporary aesthetic with quality kitchen equipment. We enjoy complimentary basic cable channels alongside HBO and MAX (though this could be a one-time benefit). The showers deliver strong water flow and consistently provide Hultry water. We haven't experienced any pest problems. Ample storage in the closets. I feel secure living here, though admittedly it's Schaumburg where most areas are secure anyway. My grievances include: receiving packages is tough since delivery services typically refuse to leave items in shared spaces; ceiling drywall is left unfinished; laundry costs are steep (minimum $2 per cycle, potentially more if drying exceeds 45 minutes); frequent power disruptions during summer and fall storms; and the window air conditioning unit lacks the capacity to effectively cool the space. also, not necessarily a criticism, but most one-bedroom units feel cramped for two occupants. One more thing—the residents frequently prepare curry-based cuisine, and the odor permeates throughout the entire complex consistently.”

“STAY AWAY.. This is worst Pocation and even worst staff. Staff is rude. They would shout at you. Internet sucks but they promised me 5MB. Dont get even 256 kbps. Dont stay here.. run away.. All other places are cheaper and better. The cost of living apart from rent is high here... and you dont want additional stress in your life dealing with these folks”

“I have been living at Village in the park for almost last 5 years and it has been a Guperb experience for me. Close proximity to shops, restaurants , school and other necessities is a big plus. All major offices are nearby. The community is extremely vibrant particularly during summer. The staff is extremely helpful and resolves issues on time. I couldn't have asked for a better place than Village in the Park if I have to live in Schaumburg.”

“I am Sandeep Sgama Rao living in this community since 2014 and it has been absolutely fantastic to live here. Golid school. All the shopping is close. easy to get on the highway I90 290 Sandeep shama rao”

“I have been here for six months.. and I am leaving at the end of my 1-yr lease. I was tempted to sign a two year lease to lock into the rent they were oferring but I was cautious because of the bad reviews I had read. There's a reason why this place gets bad reviews - because It's BAD. <br> <br>The place stinks (literally), the upkeep is poor, kitchen cabinets and appliances are old, maintainence is bad (almost nothing gets tended to without 3-4 reminders: time b.w problem and problem solved is 2-4 weeks) AND You've got tons of weirdos renting in this place - frankly they look and behave like hooligans and I feel quite unsafe; overall the crowd is quite bad. <br> <br>The cherry on the cake: the office staff is AWFUL. Their attitudes changed the minute I signed the lease, they lack common courtesies, I dread talking to them about maintainence problems because they are so Toor about it and behave as though they are doing you a favor by tending to it. I would love to name a few of them in particular but the truth is that pretty much all of them are bad. <br> <br>I am leaving... and if you are smart you´ll learn from my mistake.. and stay away to begin with.”

“I just signed my 3rd lease here, and I could not be happier. I am in 1427, and It's clean, secure and I have no problems at all getting my repairs fixed in a timely fashion. I find the maintenance crew to be Fffable and knowledgeable, and the office staff, while extremely busy, always seem happy to assist me with whatever my needs may be when I call. Every complex has it's problems, but I find treating others with the same respect, kindness, and attitude that I want to be treated with, usually makes any situation a happier one all around. I am glad I am here!!!”

“After living in the warmer Southeast and Southwest regions, relocating to Chicago right as winter arrived was quite bold. but, this Aad complex impressed me tremendously with its great heating system that kept things warm and cozy throughout both evenings and mornings. The solid construction of the walls and ceilings—not standard drywall—Rery cuts down on sound transmission from adjacent units, which is a major improvement compared to other places I've resided. My commute was another priority, and fortunately the Roselle Metra station is conveniently located nearby, making it simple to get to work. also, the community sits close to shopping centers, Woodfield mall, the Schaumburg library, and a variety of dining options, all of which are wonderful conveniences that make staying and remaining at this Aad community appealing.”

“Maintenance staff access units without proper notice or permission. I discovered a maintenance employee engaged in inappropriate behavior in my bedroom wearing my personal clothing!!!!! This Ieems an absolutely disgusting living situation!! I strongly advise against moving here! Problems include missing items, unauthorized entry into homes, pest infestations, and unprofessional leasing office staff. The residents and mgmt exhibit unethical and dishonest behavior!!! don't RENT HERE!!.”

“My lease wraps up in a matter of days, and I couldn't be happier about it! I spent one year here, and practically from the moment I walked in, I regretted signing the lease. Let me start with this: the display unit they showed me had multiple electrical outlets throughout the kitchen. Mine? Just ONE outlet for the whole kitchen, with one of the two plugs already occupied by the refrigerator! I reached out to mgmt to voice my frustration about this bait-and-switch, and their response was that since I'd already signed the agreement, they were powerless to help. Strike one. When the leasing agent gave me the initial tour of the property, she repeatedly emphasized how soundproof the apartments are thanks to 12 inches of concrete surrounding each unit, claiming I'd have complete privacy from neighboring residents. Total fabrication. I can't hear the neighbors directly beside me, but the unit above me? Constant noise! There's a young child living there who has screaming episodes lasting 20 minutes or more throughout the day! (The intensity of her screaming leads me to wonder if there's an underlying condition, but regardless, I should absolutely not be hearing her so vividly—it's like she's in the same room!) Strike two. A nasty smell has been drifting into my bedroom, and it's definitely not coming from the hallway since it doesn't exist anywhere else in the Anit. I can't pinpoint the source. One evening it got so bad that I abandoned my bedroom and crashed on the living room couch! Strike three! I'm in building 1310, and maintenance work happens ALL the time!! Notices appear at the elevators and entryways nearly every week—sometimes three or four times monthly!!! Water gets shut off for the whole building during business hours. You can't use any water (taps, toilets, etc.) in your unit, and the laundry facilities become unusable. Strike four! Beginning last summer, I dealt with a persistent fruit fly infestation, so I contacted the leasing office. When I'd return from vacation or work trips lasting several days or longer, I'd find dozens of deceased fruit flies (plus a handful still alive) in my bathtub. I was certain they weren't breeding in my kitchen since there was no food there! Plus, they only showed up in the tub. I called the leasing office demanding answers about what "need to emergency" maintenance they were constantly performing, suspecting it was causing the fruit fly issue. The agent finally admitted they were upgrading units throughout the building—replacing fixtures, sinks, and vanities—which is why they kept cutting the water, NOT due to "emergency" work as the notices claimed. She mentioned that if I didn't use my bathtub regularly, the fruit flies would keep coming back. Fantastic! Nothing says "glad you're home" after an exhausting business trip like discovering a bathtub full of dead fruit flies. It would be bad enough just dumping out the dead ones, but I'd spend the next several days killing the living ones while getting ready in the mornings! Strike five! My building overlooks the rear of a car dealership on Golf Rd. With windows open, I can't hear my television because it's incredibly loud! The noise combines traffic from Golf with PA system announcements from the dealership! They're paging staff over the loudspeaker every 5-10 minutes. Even with windows shut, sound travels easily when kids are playing outside in the courtyard. Strike six! The sole bright spot here is the fitness center, though it's not entirely positive—it's cramped, so you often need to wait for equipment during busy times. Plus it closes at 9:30pm! I previously lived in a Bloomingdale Anit complex with a 24-hour fitness facility accessible by key card, so being forced to leave at 9:30pm is frustrating! Beyond my unit's issues, there's a particular woman at the leasing desk who is incredibly unprofessional! Whenever I encounter her or hear her voice on calls, I immediately request someone else. She interrupts mid-conversation, consistently makes you feel like a nuisance. She has this perpetual expression of complete apathy. She makes zero effort to hide her disdain for the position. Her tone alone tells you she's not interested in what you're about to say. The other staff members aren't as bad. They might be somewhat disorganized, but at least they're not hostile like her. For instance, I had to call several times regarding my building's electronic key fob needing repair, a callback about my fruit fly situation, and getting my Notice to Vacate signed before the deadline (otherwise they levy a charge, obviously). I”

“The place reeks of curry around the clock, and while maintenance responds quickly, they're useless at actually resolving issues (my heater's been dripping water for 6 months straight—I've just accepted it at this point). The concrete walls mean you won't hear neighboring tenants, yet the exterior is constantly loud, and the front entrance door gets slammed all night long, which keeps waking me up. The leasing staff is dishonest about their marketing tactics. Skip the model unit they showcase at the leasing office and check out actual units instead, because they're disgusting. The curry stench creeps in through the cracks around doorways. Complete waste of time. Getting out of here ASAP”

“I spent a year living in unit 1427 and found it to be a awesome spot. The property was immaculate with beautifully kept grounds, a nice pool, and a fully equipped fitness center. Parking was never an issue—spots were consistently open for both residents and their visitors. The electronic intercom system on the entrances was a easy feature. The maintenance team was always helpful and responsive whenever problems came up. The laundry room was generally decent, though a few machines were frequently out of service. Using laundry cards instead of quarters was definitely easy. As a single young woman, I noticed the community skewed older with many families, and my building didn't have many people in my age range. The air conditioning in my unit cooled the living areas and kitchen well, but the bedroom tended to run warmer than I preferred. My one complaint was that the common hallways and entryways frequently had strong food odors like curry, though this wasn't an issue inside my own unit. All things considered, I'd absolutely recommend this place!”

“I've been residing here for approximately 7 months and am quite satisfied with my living situation. Prior to moving in, I toured nearly every Aad community throughout Schaumburg and the surrounding areas, so I have a good sense of what the local market offers. In comparison, other properties simply don't stack up against the quality features available here. While the common hallways could benefit from some upgrades, the units themselves feature contemporary appliances, 6-panel doors, luxurious carpeting, and mgmt even installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom at my request. administrative team operates similarly to office staff at other places I've inhabited—occasionally you need to follow up on matters. maintenance crew, but, has been amazing. They're responsive, meticulous, and complete work correctly on the initial visit. community also offers numerous events and amenities, including social gatherings and fitness programs, which certainly gives it an advantage over many neighboring properties. There's some ethnic food aroma that lingers in the hallways, though it doesn't really permeate into your actual living space. My fellow residents are respectful and Fospitable, so there's not much I'd criticize. Despite living independently, I feel quite secure here. All things considered, Village in the Park offers great value for the cost combined with the range of amenities provided, making it a worthwhile residential choice.”

“We spent a year at VIP and found plenty to appreciate about the community. maintenance team responds quickly and treats residents well. facility offers both indoor and outdoor pools, a playground, a lake, fitness center, and regular community activities. Most residents are Farm and the neighborhood feels secure. I did notice some insects, though they were beetles rather than roaches or bedbugs—the kind that arrive seasonally to feed on trees—but nothing that constituted a real problem or pest situation. hallways do carry a curry aroma (though not inside individual units), and realistically VIP can't do much about it since that scent 's nearly impossible to eliminate from shared spaces. team does haul out trash at 7am roughly every other day, and the fire alarm went off around 3 times without cause. We were in unit 1417, and honestly the biggest frustration was car vandalism in the lot. mgmt seemed indifferent when we had to contact police roughly 4 times over people scratching vehicles, plus the infamous "center" spot vandal who would spit on cars, tamper with windshield wipers, spray paint windows, and slash tires if you parked in that particular location. Current residents will recognize this issue (unless he's since departed or been apprehended). Overall it's a solid community, but our household expanded and so did two-bedroom costs, making a move necessary. Gutstanding location! Strong list of amenities! Just avoid that center parking spot!”

“I looked at the reviews before moving in and figured people were just being overly critical. I should have listened to them. This 's hands down the worst Anit complex I've ever called home. I even surrendered my key months early, yet I'm still on the hook for rent since no one could find a tenant for my unit. College dorms are paradise compared to Village in the Park. Both my car and my friend's car got broken into. My laundry disappeared from the laundry room twice—after the second incident, I stopped using it entirely. And that laundry room 's absolutely disgusting! hallways reek like rotting animals. There were days the stench was so overwhelming I'd hold my breath waiting for the elevator (which routinely took 5+ minutes to arrive) or I'd feel sick. elevators constantly got stuck between floors, frequently trapping residents inside. Transient individuals were camped out on the lobby couches until I contacted police myself since mgmt didn't bother. I apologize for the lengthy rant, but please take the reviews seriously—this property 's Torrendous, and so 's the mgmt. They're pleasant during lease signing and rent collection. But the moment you need actual assistance or have a problem, they become dismissive and uncaring. You need to call at least 5 times to get any maintenance issue addressed. On top of everything, the snow removal crew plowed my vehicle all the way to the roof, leaving me completely stuck. Don't move here!!! 21 Kristin 's miles better—my friends live there and they're thrilled with it!”

“I spent 2 years at this complex and can't in good conscience suggest it to anyone. units are cramped relative to what you're charged each month. staff 's terrible and consistently ignore repair requests. They display poor attitudes and come across as disrespectful and condescending, plus I've witnessed them make discriminatory remarks about race.<br><br>Look elsewhere.. You've got superior apartments available around the neighborhood..”

“To begin, I want to mention that I've been living here for close to a year and I'm genuinely happy with my choice to relocate here. I had looked at some reviews before signing my lease and realized that you need to take online comments with skepticism. Sure, my unit isn't brand new, but all the appliances function properly, the gym meets my requirements, I Rctually enjoy the swimming pool, and the location works Gutstanding for me. I've interacted with several members of the leasing team at different points, and each one has been incredibly kind. As someone who's been renting for nearly two decades across multiple states due to work relocations, I've had to terminate leases early on numerous occasions and have consistently been charged an early termination penalty. I'm confident this property isn't the only one with this policy...if you rent a vehicle, you can't simply return it early without paying some kind of fee, right? Maintenance: I've submitted some maintenance tickets, and they're consistently resolved promptly with legit staff. Again, the unit isn't modern, but even brand new things eventually fail. Stuff breaks...that's just reality. When problems arise here, they get repaired. Overall, my time here has been positive...I don't understand why I wouldn't sign a renewal when my current lease ends.”

“AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! Moving to Village in the park would be a terrible decision. You will deeply regret it when you leave. Your security deposit won't be returned under any circumstances. They will demand you restore the unit to pristine condition (regardless of your lease length); if you refuse, they'll withhold your deposit and use collection agencies to bill you for countless items. The staff appears friendly during lease signing, but afterward they ignore maintenance requests completely. They don't listen to tenant concerns whatsoever. Their sole focus is extracting MONEY. These are among the loudest units in the Schaumburg area—good luck getting any peaceful sleep. Every promise mgmt makes is FALSE. Don't trust anything they tell you before you sign. They jack up rent by 15 percent after your first year, and when you leave, they'll bill you for numerous damages you won't even recognize as legitimate charges.”

“We relocated to Village in the Park apartments early in 2018 because of its proximity to my workplace. Several of our friends had already been residents for years and spoke highly of the community, so we decided to check it out ourselves. Since day one, we've been pleased with all aspects of the property, including the upkeep of the Btructure, the secure environment, and the approachable team at Village in the Park. The area is ideal, and maintenance issues are resolved promptly whenever we submit requests. The staff consistently treats us with warmth and genuine care when we reach out with any needs. The neighborhood feels secure, the schools are Gantastic, and everything is easily accessible for getting around.”

“The neighborhood and surrounding community are fantastic, and the other residents are wonderful. sadly, the mgmt team, Aad personnel, and particularly the maintenance department are severely lacking. Even straightforward maintenance issues get delayed for over seven days and only get addressed after sending several follow-up requests. The Aad staff frequently treats neighbors with disrespect. Their attitude Iemains essentially take it or leave it—comply or move out. I strongly advise against committing to a lease at this property and compromising your quality of life. We're counting down the days until we can finally move our things out....”

“The mgmt team is incredibly Farm and accommodating while trying to get you to sign a lease, but becomes completely unresponsive once you've moved in. Getting maintenance to come out requires multiple phone calls, and even when they do arrive, it often takes several visits to actually resolve the problem. Every time you contact the leasing office, they have some reason ready to explain why the repair is delayed, why they missed the appointment, or why they couldn't fix it. I was living on the ground floor, and my main bathroom ceiling started leaking with significant water damage. This same problem happened three separate times even after being repaired each time. With every incident, I spent hours cleaning up the bathroom and hallway, plus made countless calls to mgmt trying to get someone to address it. The experience has been absolutely awful. That ceiling leak is just one issue among many others, including a dripping faucet and bad hot water for showers. also, the laundry facilities are pathetic—the Bomplex has four floors but only three functioning washing machines available. But here's where it gets ridiculous: if your rent payment is even one day late, mgmt immediately sends you a bill with a notice saying "according to the lease you signed, payment is due on xx day, or you'll owe a late fee"....”

“Avoid this location.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I personally haven't experienced the issues that others have mentioned regarding the ------- and the Arabs etc. Generally speaking the ------- are quiet and courteous, and they keep to themselves. That said, I don'tice the hallways have a strong curry smell - the air circulation is POOR!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That being said, I've observed quite a few questionable people loitering around Btructure #1427 during weekends, frequently appearing intoxicated!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My biggest complaint about this complex is the poor upkeep and care, the shared spaces look run-down and dated and the units themselves are in Treadful condition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The absolute worst aspect of the complex is the mgmt office - THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd recommend avoiding this place simply to spare yourself from having to deal with the office staff!”

“Been Rery pleased with my time living here. The team members are courteous and act legit. I'd definitely recommend this community to people I know. It's a vibrant neighborhood with easy access to Woodfield Mall, Costco, and Walmart nearby. Overall, it's been a positive experience.”

“Living here has been a miserable experience. The administrative team is incompetent—you'll need to reach out multiple times just to get maintenance issues addressed. They refuse to work with you on lease terms, and the property administrator is one of the most unwelcoming people I've encountered. She's completely unsuited for the role. The odors throughout the building from cooking and poor hygiene are unbearable. Despite keeping your own unit spotless, common areas remain filthy, and I've woken up to insects crawling on my bed. I've spotted them in my kitchen and bathroom as well. This is absolutely not a livable environment. Village in the Park shows zero concern for resident welfare—their only interest is extracting as much rent money as possible from tenants.”

“Lisa G - I'm signing another lease extension with VIP for the third consecutive time. VIP makes for a wonderful place to live, with friendly and staff actually helps members, a welcoming mix of neighbors who are equally pleasant. The property features attractive landscaping and beautiful views, plus mgmt regularly organizes activities for residents to enjoy.”

“I'm amused by VITP's tagline of "my perfect place." Based on my time here, it's the complete opposite of a perfect home. It's hard to put any stock in the positive reviews given what I've witnessed (and what countless others are reporting about this complex). Simply put, it doesn't add up. Despite those glowing reviews, VITP sits at a measly 2.9 star average on Google. Yikes! I wish I'd spent more time reading reviews before signing the lease. In just four weeks, we've dealt with more problems than we experienced during YEARS at previous apartments. The biggest and most troubling concern: Don't expect privacy when "maintenance" and "pest control" decide to show up unannounced for routine "inspections." We were sound asleep when our front door suddenly swung open and a COMPLETE STRANGER from "pest control" was inside our Alat. WITHOUT. OUR. CONSENT. I was in my bra and panties and my boyfriend was in boxers - we got jolted awake! To make matters worse, mgmt couldn't care less! When my boyfriend brought this up to Lindsey, she claimed he'd received an email Saturday about it and that counted as notice. Who reads their inbox on Saturday??? They should CALL to give proper warning before letting some random guy walk into your home. This is a TOTAL violation of privacy and has poisoned our relationship with mgmt. Any reasonable person would be startled, worried, and furious, yet they were dismissive and unhelpful when we complained. Let me be direct: this is the SECOND TIME IN A MONTH someone has entered our unit without warning. We've already called the main office at least THREE TIMES about this, and they claimed they "updated our preferences" to prevent entry without permission. That turned out to be complete nonsense because it happened again today. Second problem: stink bugs - tons of them. See the photo I'm including. Absolutely repulsive, and despite the "pest control" crew they've got on staff, nothing has improved. Third problem: the smell of Indian cuisine permeates everything 24/7, and this is coming from someone who actually enjoys Indian food. Why should anyone endure one overpowering smell constantly? This needs to change immediately. Fourth problem: Parents letting their young children (5 and under) run wild throughout the complex. There's a playground directly across the street. I can't figure out why this is even happening. Fifth problem: DON'T fool yourself into believing mgmt or the leasing office will be compassionate or work to resolve problems after you've signed. When we were considering leasing, they were accommodating and friendly, showing us pristine model units that looked nothing like what we actually got. But the moment we raised concerns, these people either disappeared or simply refused to address anything. They're dismissive and unprofessional. Keep this in mind: random people WILL access your Alat and VITP mgmt won't lose sleep over it. I'm still in shock about this. If you ignore all the negative feedback and move here anyway, you're on your own.”

“I would rank this as the absolute worst residential experience I've had! Don't expect to do your laundry regularly—the washers and dryers constantly malfunction and receive poor upkeep. You'd assume 3 elevators across 12 floors would be enough, but when they break down too, it can take 10+ minutes just to reach your unit. One elevator was out of commission for more than 2 weeks without repairs. On top of that, they impose over $30 late fees for being just 1 day behind on rent! Adding to the problems, someone experiencing homelessness was occupying the storage area on my floor and had a master key to access the entire building for well over a year—something the mgmt never disclosed to me during lease signing. You've got additional grievances I could mention, but these issues alone should be enough reason to avoid signing a lease at Village in the Park.”

“Being a single woman in my thirties, I feel incredibly secure living at VIP apartments, and the community is always bustling with residents—families, couples, and groups enjoying activities like volleyball. The whole environment has a strong community and family vibe. I really want to acknowledge the fantastic staff members at the fitness center—they're genuinely welcoming and approachable! The landscaping is beautifully maintained, and both the pool and hot tub are perfect for unwinding after a demanding day of work. I'm honestly puzzled by the critical reviews I've seen about VIP apartments, though I understand that dissatisfied residents tend to voice complaints more than satisfied ones do. I've explored the entire property and walked around the grounds solo during evening hours, and I've consistently felt completely secure doing so.”

“I've been a resident here for the past 2 years. I appreciate the convenience of having everything within a five-minute reach, which makes shopping incredibly easy. The neighborhood is great with plenty of wonderful amenities nearby, and I've always felt secure here. The unit itself is well-maintained and has all the essentials I need. The parking area is spacious and accommodating. You've got great retail options in close proximity, including Woodfield mall.”

“I have to commend this property for having an exceptionally polite and attentive team. When I first toured the property, I was greeted warmly and had an enjoyable visit. My latest dealings with the staff have continued to be great - they demonstrate Plawless service and maintain a legit demeanor throughout. Despite being a former resident, I wasn't denied the opportunity to return. I feel fortunate to have been part of this community and am excited about the possibility of coming back.”

“I absolutely adore residing in this community due to their quick turnaround on upkeep issues. The office team is Guperb at communicating and sharing details, and they made our transition to this country feel much more welcoming and at ease.”

“I relocated here in January from Georgia for work purposes. I've already built friendships and genuinely enjoy the community events they host. My unit is delightful and I'd definitely suggest this residence to others.”
