Mallard Creek Apartments

I called Mallard Creek my home for a year. I think it is an excellent apartment complex with wonderful, responsive management. I would highly recommend Mallard Creek.
Location: The neighborhood is extremely safe and actually quite pretty… nice landscaping, green space, trees. The air just seems so fresh here! Restaurants and shops including a Starbucks are walking distance. It’s also located right off Highway 55 (but completely tucked away from all the traffic/​noise). Yes, you are not in the heart of the city (uptown, downtown, etc.) but it is such a quick, hassle-​free drive into the city.
In-​Unit Features: And, yes, this is not one of those fancy hardwood floor, stainless steel appliance lofts that you’ll find popping up all over the city, but the units are still very well-​maintained and in great shape (new appliances, washer dryer in unit).
Community Amenities: Parking (including 1 underground space), pool, business center (this is essentially a tiny closet with a stone age computer), fitness center (also not large but the treadmills met my needs), tanning bed (not sure anyone used this), dvd rentals.
Staff: Management is very attentive and responsive. Maintenance is quick to come address any issues that may arise, which are few and far between.
Value: Unbeatable. I could potentially get a studio of equal quality in the city for the same amount as a 2 br/1.5 bath here.
If you’re looking to rent in the suburbs, I’d check out Mallard Creek.

Building was nice enough, and maintenance work got done in a timely manner. On-​site management was great, but they were not always in the office. It made trying to get packages or getting info a little hard sometimes. Location was great for getting downtown in a jiffy, and there were some great restaurants within walking distance. Library was also close, which was a plus for me (with a kid). Also, a bike/​footpath was really close too.
Management has changed since I left, and I know they expanded the gym and got rid of the hot tub.
