Heather Stressman at Campus Creek is absolutely amazing to work with! She has gone above and beyond to ensure our daughter and her roommates had a wonderful move in! Campus Creek is a safe and awesome apartment complex!

I lived at Campus Creek in the cottages from 2019-2023. The absolute worst place to live. There were three shootings that happened while I lived at Campus Creek and it doesn’t end there. I did not have a working shower for literally three months and had to use my roommates. Our grass was mowed maybe twice the entire summer of 2022 (see photos). My roommates and I kept our apartment very clean yet we had mice, raccoons, and skunks on our doorstep wandering from the field behind our apartment when the grass wouldn’t get mowed. Our neighbors would throw parties until 3:00 - 4:00 am and “security” would just stand outside. The next morning, we would get a notice on our door as well as the rest of the apartments around, saying we would all be charged $50 each if the area was not cleaned up. They have had 3-4 management changes since 2019. Due to so many management changes they lost my payments. I have provided screenshots and receipts for proof of payment to countless people, all of which tell me they will figure it out and then never reach back out. I paid my entire year of rent in advance only for someone in the newest management to tell me they are unsure of where my money went. The only reason I stayed for so long was because I loved my apartment (despite having trouble getting things fixed when needed). I highly suggest looking elsewhere. Campus Creek STILL uses the video of my apartment to advertise (which I was never paid for after they said I would be). A complete joke.

I hated my time here I feared leaving it because the maintenance they have is grossly incompetent on multiple occasions I’d come home from work to my door being not just unlocked (no I’m not that stupid) or flat out open because they refuse to lock the stupid door. My heat went out during the coldest storm we had in years and it took them over a month for a “priority job” there solution was to manually start up the blower motor when that didn’t work they offered me 6 space heaters but don’t worry I still have to foot that electric bill all because they didn’t want to order a new blower motor. They didn’t do any maintenance of the apartment between residents other than maybe vacuuming because 3 of my 4 sinks had such bad timescale build on the faucet they continued spraying after I shut them off. The dishwasher can barely be classified as such. And today I wake up to a call saying they closed my door because it was open( I’ve been staying at my girlfriends place) and they didn’t think to lock it I’m sorry but I know I locked it so who’s been in my apartment the only nice thing I can say is I never got roommates

I love living here and have had great experience with management. They are so helpful and super nice! I would recommend Campus Creek to anyone in the Big Rapids area.
