I have lived at Mallard Creek for a year now. I think this is an excellent apartment complex with wonderful, responsive management. The neighborhood is extremely safe and actually quite pretty. The location is also good, right off Highway 55 (but completely tucked away from all the traffic/noise). 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). I would highly recommend Mallard Creek.

I lived at Mallard Creek for almost 2 years, and I only moved because I needed 3 bedrooms. Now that I'm at a different apartment complex, I can see how many great things I took for granted at Mallard Creek. The underground parking is amazing, with stalls that are wide enough to open your doors all the way. Heat and air are adjustable in unit, even if the hallways can get cold in the winter. The storage unit is included in the rent price, and it's a good size. The grounds are very quiet - I never heard any neighbors outside or through the windows. In the entire time I was there, I only had 1 noise complaint. The staff is very friendly and will get back to you (for maintenance or questions) usually the same day or next day. Everything in the unit is oversized - the kitchen, washer/dryer, bathrooms - you shouldn't ever feel cramped. Another convenience is that the mail is central and on your way in, whether you come from the garage or the front door. There's also plenty of restaurants and shops nearby.

I have lived at Mallard Creek since 3.2011 and have had a great experience. The staff is very kind, attentive and approachable. All of my needs or requests have been addressed in a timely, professional manner. I have a one bedroom apartment and love it. There are pros and cons to every apartment but have been very happy with my choice especially after being hesitant because of some negative reviews. Pros: -ability to paint your apartment any way you choose if okayed with the office or they will paint a few accent walls if you choose from their color choices. -in unit free, full-sized washers and driers -dishwasher : ) -pourch with slidding screen door -full sized shower with tub -massive amounts of kitchen and bathroom storage -underground heated parking spot -decently sized storage locker -heat is included in rent and you have control over your temperature (dial in your apartment) -in unit AC -(depending on your apartments position in the buiding) a view of the creek and nature behind the complex -great work out room with AC and a flat screen (open 24-7) Cons: -small pool -AC is loud -hallways can be noisy when there is a lot of traffic. I only notice it when there are kids running up and down the halls or screaming (has only happend 2x total) -It is a bit pricey but average for the area and utilities

Pros: 1 indoor parking spot, (fake) marble countertops, (fake) birch cabinets, new stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher), washer/dryer in unit Cons: The windows leak TONS of air and the fact that the heat is only on for a few months makes for freezing temperatures at night especially during the months it's off like march, april, september, and october. Maintenance is spotty, either it happens the next day or not at all. The elevator seems to go down for a day or two every month. Management is rude, lazy, and ignorant. The complex would be good if it weren't for the staff and windows.

Clean apartments undergoing renovation. Friendly people and courteous and efficient leasing agents. Upkeep is constant and on-going. Great for the price.
