Testimonials
_____________________________ _ _ _
. . . One of the first things that attracted me to
Garry Lewis properties was the neighborhood. It was quiet,
well-maintained, and friendly. I felt that my daughter and I
would be safe there. And I loved the idea that I wouldn't
have to mow or shovel snow! The yard is huge for the kids to
play in and I can still keep an eye on them. Of the few
times that I had a problem with anything, maintenance was
always very quick to get it fixed. The elementary school,
middle school, and high school are all within a mile.
Grocery stores, gas stations, and gyms are all within a
couple miles of the neighborhood - what else could you ask
for?? It's a quiet area, yet close enough to the city so you
still have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. To
put it simply, I love it!!
. . . I could not be happier with my choice. I just
renewed my lease for next year. My apartment is HUGE!!! For
less than I'd be paying at xxxx xxxxx, I got another 100
square feet (that's a whole other room!) and free high speed
wireless internet. The application process was a dream
compared to xxxx xxxxx. I tried to apply at both but even
though I am in law school and have been on my own for years,
xxxx xxxxx wouldn't rent to me unless my parents divulged
all kinds of private details about their finances. That was
absolutely ridiculous! For god's sake, let a grown man have
some dignity! Applying at
Garry Lewis Properties at Corporate
Lake (which runs
Brandon Woods Place,
The Hill,
Timber Ridge, and
Bethel Duplexes) was very
easy and straightforward. It did not involve embarrassing
intrusions into my privacy and the privacy of my parents. I
also believe Garry Lewis Properties sometimes rents to
responsible undergrads where xxxx xxxxx does not . . . .
. . . I've stayed at countless apartments throughout the
years but this is the first one that feels like a home. It
is located in a neighborhood and feels like it is a part of
it . . . .
. . . I'm a very busy
law student at the
University of Missouri - Columbia
(Mizzou)
and need absolute silence when I study. This is the first
apartment I've had that I can truly study at home. When I
open my window I hear nothing but birds chirping . . . no
screaming children, no barking dogs . . . it is truly
peaceful. It feels like it is a retreat from the hustle and
bustle of Columbia . . . .
. . . You can tell a lot about the safety of an apartment
complex by the frequency of police patrols. In the last
apartment I had at xxx xxxxxx, a police car drove by
literally every half hour. When I was at xxx xxxxxx, I even
had police come to my door in the middle of the night to see
if I was hiding someone's baby-daddy in my apartment!!! As
you can imagine I DID NOT renew THAT lease! After looking at
most of the apartments in Columbia, I really wouldn't
recommend any that are north of Providence. In the year that
I've been at
Brandon Woods Place, I can
only recall seeing one police car and that was because he
was eating lunch at
Smokin' Chick's BBQ or
It's a Grind, the coffee
house, both down the street in the Southampton Village
across from the lake. On several occasions, I've
accidentally left my car unlocked overnight and in the
morning, my radar detector and CDs are still there. This is
the kind of place where a neighbor will knock on your door
and tell you, you left your headlights on . . . .
. . . The neighborhood is really beautiful. There is a huge
lake across the street with fountains and geese and is
apparently fully stocked with fish which you can feed off
the patio of
Gaucho's, a Brazilian
steakhouse and bar right on the lake. I really love driving
by that lake.jpg)
every morning. There is a big grassy field next to the lake
that is great for playing fetch with your dog or Frisbee
with friends. There's even going to be a huge hot air
balloon festival in August right next to the lake. There
will be a target on the island in the middle of the lake
that the hot air balloons will have to try to drop something
on. It sounds like a lot of fun. If you like to play tennis,
there are 8 lighted courts across the street at
Cosmo Bethel Park. There is
also a very nice walking path around the lake at the park.
(There are really a lot of lakes in this part of town.) But
you don't have to go to the park to get your exercise, there
are sidewalks on both sides of the streets and people walks
around the neighborhood almost every evening . . . .
. . . This is a great neighborhood for children. The
elementary school is only a couple of blocks away (but the
buses still take them across the highway) and the high
school is only a block away. There is a courtyard between
the apartments that children can play in and stay within
view. The Columbia Performing Arts Center is also just down
the street if you have a daughter you would like to enroll
in ballet or another dance class. The center is in a really
beautiful Greek revival style building with lots of glass,
columns, and what looks like a small botanical garden. It
really makes the neighborhood feel high class, especially
when it is all lit up at night, reflecting off the lake . .
. .
. . . There are a couple of nice apartment complexes in
Columbia but none other has an atmosphere like the
Garry Lewis Properties at Corporate
Lake. If you are looking for an apartment in
Columbia, one of the
Garry Lewis Properties at Corporate
Lake properties should really be at the top of
your list . . . . |
