The reviews for Lakeview Retirement Community and a nearby apartment complex present a mixed picture. Lakeview Retirement Community receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with residents and staff praising its warm, friendly atmosphere, professional management, and abundant amenities. The community offers a variety of activities, high-quality food, and beautiful living spaces, making it feel like a resort. However, some note that it is pricey and lacks assisted living and memory care options. Overall, residents and visitors appreciate the caring staff and vibrant social environment, making it a highly recommended option for independent living. In contrast, the nearby apartment complex receives more critical reviews. While some residents appreciate the friendly staff, maintenance, and scenic views of Lake Murray, many express dissatisfaction with the living conditions. Common complaints include thin walls, noisy neighbors, pest infestations, and poor management. Several reviewers mention issues with hidden fees, unresponsive management, and inadequate security. The complex's amenities, such as the business center and gated community features, are often described as non-functional or misleading. Despite the attractive exterior and location, the negative aspects, particularly noise and management issues, lead many to advise against living there.
