Have a girlfriend that lives there. A apartment Complex senior citizens, very heavy Glass doors do you have to insert Key turn and try to pull door at same time , HARD.. Can not enter through back/SIDE door, AND IF YOU'RE THERE TO VISIT No doorbell to alarm anybody in the apartments let them know somebody at the door looking for you??? absolutely no parking in the front , so either let friend know you're visiting.Or walk a block to get in...SMH.....<br>They also leave 2 metal shopping carts. If you need to use take products up to your apartment., wheels don't spin properly and does not turn...Bring your wagon or use the Wheelchair.

I’ve been considering moving my mom into a senior community and drove by this property. It is very visually appealing and when I make this move this will be on my list to tour.

I have lived here for several years and really enjoy it. I am 2 blocks from downtown, 2 blocks from two lakes and the Farmer's Market. Everything is in walking distance including numerous restaurants and the apartments are attached to the Oconomowoc Senior Center. Renee our Property Manager and Dave our Maintenance Man are extremely friendly and responsive.

My 85 yr old dad was robbed of his truck by gunpoint in the secure parking garage and suffered trauma and this apt complex did nothing about it. My parents rented this place under a senior contract when the place was first built. Mom died and dad got kicked out at 91. My dad wanted to live to 100 and he would have but died 3 months later. Last year he was walking around Fowler Lake and this year he died from stress. He wanted to stay there until he passed, but Berkshire wanted market rate and instead my father suffered more trauma. Rent here if you want to, good luck with it.
