Shelard Village Apartments

I moved here right after the covid pandemic started. The move in process was easy, I was fresh out of college with a new job, and man, Shelard was perfect. I loved having all utilities paid, because I didn’t have to bother managing heat or anything. My neighbor was amazing, and Micky and Caryn were lovely— I felt I could approach them with anything. Maintenance was exceptionally fast too— had a wasp nest problem and the guys came in and took care of it the very next day. I wish I could’ve stayed longer, but a life change made me move.

I have lived at Shelard Village for 3 years - 2 years in a 2 bedroom and 1 year in a 3 bedroom. You pay nothing on top of rent unless you want a garage space. The staff is always helpful, the building is kept up well and the pool and lawn kept clean.

I really enjoyed living here. It is in a great neighborhood and near highway 55, 169, and 394. It is quiet. It was confusing at first with the super long hallways but I learned my way around. Really nice since the updates. The only down side is it got a little too expensive. The office staff is great and professional. Parking can be a bit hard if you come in at night and do not pay for a garage.

I am almost finished with my year lease in a two bedroom apartment. Overall I have really enjoyed my stay at Shelard Village Apartments. I hadn't lived in an apartment (only houses and duplexes) for the past 8 years and at first the long hallways were strange, but I've definitely adjusted. The building is very quiet, I think the only noises I have ever heard were the neighbors downstairs turning their shower on, and kids playing in the pool because our balcony faces the courtyard. I don't find either of those noises distracting or unpleasant. The location is very convenient to highway 169 and 394, and there are a number of convenient things to walk to. Willow movie theater, Tea House and Pineda Tacos, liquor store, and a few minutes longer walk to Rainbow Foods and Thai Table (AMAZING). We have a south facing balcony and have had really good luck growing vegetables out there over the summer. The pool area has been well kept over the summer and we enjoyed the exercise room and sauna over the winter. My only complaints would be that the air conditioning unit is located in the ceiling of the kitchen and is VERY loud, also the water temperature has a bad habit of scalding or freezing you for a few seconds randomly throughout your showering experience. As I said though, overall I have enjoyed my stay here, my roommate is even staying on to sign a new lease.
