So, I have been at stonegate for ~2 years.

So, I have been at stonegate for ~2 years.

If you want the short summary, it is as follows: through these two years at this property, I have been through three management changes. This has lead to a bumpy couple of years. However, the newest management company seems to know what they are doing, appears to be on top of maintenance, and seems to care about their tenants. So if you are thinking about moving here, disregard any negative reviews from December 2015-December 2016, as the property is under new management and 98% of the old people have been fired. Ultimately, I would recommend living at this community given the current management company and staff.

Now for the long version.
We moved in around December of 2015. We got a west facing apartment with an okay view (the views here are wonderful at almost every angle). Something we learned from with is that the eastbound winds are STRONG here. In a westbound apartment, we had some nights where our door would actually bow in, but I m happy to say we have have never had a window or door break nor have I ever seen one in the complex.
We were worried when we moved in and found that the people next to us had a large dog that barked whenever someone went up/down the stairs. However, to our delight, we literally never heard the dog barking! So the apartments are well insulated.

Another thing we were worried about was smoking. Neither me nor my wife are smokers, and we did not want smoke (of any kind) seeping up into our apartment. Although there are smokers on property, most are respectful and smoke in the designated smoking area off the property.

There is a great hiking trail right next to the property. It leads to some open trails were you can walk around a resivour and observe local wildlife.

Our worst time in this apartment was when pinnacle properties took over. During this time, it would take weeks to get maintenance requests complete (and they would only get done if you called the office multiple times). Dog poop seemed to collect in the grassy areas of the property, and the office staff was never in the office (they had it posted that the office was open at 9, they would mosey in around 11). In other worlds, pinnacle properties is a TERRIBLE company and I discourage you from ever renting from pinnacle properties.

Recently, we found that another company had bought the property. We were concerned about this at the beginning. However, this new company has been AMAZING! maintenance is quick and responsive, snow is removed on time, office staff is on time and a pleasure to work with, and everything seems to be better managed.

Despite this property's bumpy year, I think the new management company has made phenomenal efforts to take care of their tenants, and for the first time in a year I feel like I am getting value for what I pay.
