Arbor Glen Apartments, east-lansing-mi

Overall, the apartment is decent and the regular service is generally good. The leasing office staff are good, and the maintenance team is excellent. They are kind, responsive, and usually arrive very quickly when there is an issue. I genuinely appreciate their effort (Two stars are for maintenance team). However, there are several major downsides. First, during spring and fall, boxelder bugs become a serious problem. They appear in large numbers around the apartment, especially near windows. I saw and killed 10-15 bugs in my room everyday. Also, room with large windows become extremely cold during the winter. I installed extra insulation film by myself. The biggest issue, however, was the outside contractor hired by management for repairs. I have lived in multiple places before, and I have never experienced anything this unprofessional. They entered the apartment covered in mud, left dirt on the carpet, completely trashed my walk-in closet and left it that way, left the AC running after I had turned it off (basically I don’t use AC during spring, so it’s pretty sure someone turned on), and even stepped on my clothes!!! It’s definitely not a professional job and people don’t do that if they have common sense. I thought someone broke into my room at the time. It is unfortunate because the actual apartment staff and maintenance team are basically good people. (I am currently in contact with management regarding this incident). The third-party service hired for repairs was the complete opposite. If you want to experience unbelievably disrespectful contractor service, this place may be perfect for you.

I’m extremely grateful for Jaren’s help throughout my leasing process at Arbor Glen Apartments. As an international student preparing to study abroad for the first time, I had many detailed questions and concerns about renting. Jaren responded quickly every time and patiently addressed all of my uncertainties. Moving to a new country is a big step, and I feel very lucky to have worked with someone so professional, kind, and supportive. His help truly made a difference in my experience. Thank you again, Jaren!

I had an outstanding experience working with Catherine in the leasing office at Arbor Glen. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to my needs. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, taking the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. What really stood out was her warm and welcoming attitude—she goes above and beyond to make you feel valued, not just like another applicant. Her communication was prompt and clear, and her attention to detail is truly impressive. If you're looking for someone who is dedicated, efficient, and truly cares about helping people find the right place, Catherine is the person to see. Arbor Glen is lucky to have her!

Jaren did an awesome job, being candid and honest with us. He showed us exactly what we are looking for and I absolutely loved it. He answered all our questions and was patient and kind with us! He was absolutely awesome. We are in the process of signing the lease now, they even allowed us to move in early because our current place move out is on the 24th and they aren’t charging us extra! (Side note I absolutely hate 25 east which is my current place DO NOT MOVE IN HERE, the partial furnishing was torn up and disgusting they refused to change out or remove them) but anyway the reason I gave 4 stars to arbor glen because of the tour scheduling issue we had. They had to reschedule us 2 time and we finally on the third tour date we managed to see the unit we wanted and it was everything we were looking for and was worth it. Just was a bit annoying trying to get a tour around our schedule and them rescheduling it. But this was NOT Jaren’s fault he’s amazing. All in all definitely lease here it’s awesome and I’m so excited to move in!!!! Thanks Jaren!!!
