Loud music poor management

Loud music is played extremely late at night by other tenants. Management ignores complaints. Lived here for a year and have yet to make it a full week without being woke up to neighbors loud music.

4/9/19
The Best of staff

Eric and Carol treat their clients with high priority and respect. When they say they’re going to do something they do it. My wife and I can’t say enough about Lincoln Square Apartments!!!

7/18/17
A gem!

I heartily recommend Lincoln Square Apartments. The building managers and maintenance crew went above and beyond in accommodating me and my roommate and making us feel at home. The apartments encircle a beautiful courtyard complete with tables, grills and a pool. My unit itself was well-maintained, with spacious rooms, new carpet (in mine, at least) and a washer/dryer. The property also sits in the heart of Springfield’s historic downtown, walking distance or just across the street from many restaurants, bars, etc.
