The Landings at Amhurst Lake

Positive sides: location, fast-​reacting maintenance and leasing staff is friendly in general.
Problems:
1. Very outdated appliances (albeit in working condition).
2. The heat system is using your water heater. It takes rather long to heat your place up and is LOUD. I don°Øt consider myself a light sleeper, but the heat wakes me up almost daily.
3. If you still decide to rent here (why?), MAKE SURE YOU STAY AWAY FROM THE BUILDINGS ADJACENT TO C PULASKI DRIVE!!! It is a rather busy highway that has a limit of 50 mph. The noise of accelerating vehicles can wake you up as early as 5 AM and thus I had to sleep in the closet.

Have lived here more than 10yrs. Though the previous reviews are relative based on their own limited experience. I have found office staff only courteous. I strongly disagree they «don’t care». During my recent week long business travel was informed the vacant unit above mine had water heater burst soaking my unit. Landings promptly explained what happened and took immediate action not only replacing my water damaged unit (dry wall, carpet, and a new water heater in my unit as well). Their prompt action prevented an incredible disaster had nothing happened until my return.
Another example — week long celebrations for the tenants and monthly notices of activities that all tenants can join. If you’re dissatisfied with annual rent increase — why are you not making that discussion prior to signing the lease? For what you’re receiving– beautiful grounds, friendly staff, tenant services throughout the year, a maintenance staff second to none — nice place to call home.

I would suggest you to live anywhere nearby except at Landings. My stay here was pretty pleasant with great neighbors but the whole experience was let down by the extremely rude staff and management. They will be very nice to you when you go for a tour but trust me its downhill from there. My move out was a complete nightmare and they did nothing to help me out. Its all about extracting more and more money from residents. Needless to say I will never be renting at any RMK property anymore. My horrific experience actually prompted some of my friends living there to move out too! Wish I could give it 0 stars.

Everything here is just fantasy. All presentation no quality at all.
Buildings are old, just adding make up on and on again and management takes huge rent.
If paying this much better take a town home in Vernon hills or Lake bluff or Gurnee or Libertyville
and have own parking garage and peaceful life.
Leasing office people are not courteous enough to attend us though we pay for their livelihood. They just seduce new people with a small swimming pool and a congested Gym.
If we take any snacks or drinks thats kept for us from leasing office, these ladies will give an awkward look at us .
I hardly recommend this place.
In winter people have to walk far to trash waste.

I cannot say enough good things about The Landings. I lived here for one year while attending graduate school at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (about 4 miles south of The Landings). The staff was always friendly and helpful. The landscaping is well taken care of and our maintenance requests were always promptly attended to. We moved out only to relocate to the city. During our move our moving truck never showed up and we were essentially homeless for the night. The Landings allowed us to stay in the apartment and just pay a prorated amount for the night. If they had not done that we would have been on the streets with our stuff so I am very appreciative towards them. Overall, living here was a great experience. The major cons are with the city of Waukegan and not The Landings (not a large restaurant selection, no sidewalks, just overall not much to do). Also, the work out area is small and can get cramped at times, but you just have to know when the good times to go are.
If you are on the fence of where to live in the area, I would absolutely go with The Landings. I have been to other apartment complexes in the area and I believe the Landings is superior to the rest.

I lived here for six months while in Waukegan for work (Jul to Dec 2011) in a 2bdrm, 2bath on the first floor.
Pros:
–friendly office staff
–late office hours (until 6 or 7pm weekdays)
–fast maintenance (work orders completed same day or day after)
–plenty of parking spots
–clean and spacious apartments
–in-​unit washers and dryers
–good amount of apartment activities/​events
Cons:
–gym lacks proper equipment and is too small and hot during the summer
–no jacuzzi next to pool
–initial problems with fridge leaking and blinds falling off (had to open 3 maintenance work orders after moving in)

Lived here for two years. Third floor apartments are spacious with vaulted ceilings. No elevator to get up to the third floor was a pain. In unit washer/​dryers are clutch. The leasing office lets you be and offers some fun activities in the summer. Only real complaint was the rent being increased by over 20% year over year.
