Wish neighbors upstairs would walk more normal. Constantly hearing them moving stuff around and maybe stomp walking or something. Walls and floors seem so thin. Can hear people talk and laugh outside.

Maintenance is great, the grounds are kept neat and clean, it’s mostly quiet. The only real issue is parking- good luck getting a spot anywhere near your apartment!

A great place to live. Thankful for the BEST office staff and maintenance people in Bowling Green. There are so many amenities on grounds, and two dog parks for your doggie friends!!
I am very happy with everything about my drake experience except the front gate being broken all of the time. The ground are kept very nice, the staff are all great, it’s quiet and comfortable here.
Smooth transition moving from out state , Employees are very nice and friendly: Have been very prompt on our requests:. So far the complex is clean and well maintained
We LOVE the Drake!! We knew the Drake would be our home from the second we toured a room. All of the clubhouse staff are so helpful and caring, and the maintenance staff is amazing!!! There are so many great amenities that come with living at the Drake- we never want to leave! The cherry on top is that they do a monthly -sometimes twice a month- event like bringing a food truck to the clubhouse, giving away mums during fall, movie nights by the pool in the summer, or setting up snacks in the clubhouse. We LOVE this place and do not have any plans of leaving any time soon!
Everyone in the office, maintenance, etc. is always so nice and helpful! I love the amount of storage the kitchen has, the in-house washer and dryer, and the space in the shower!
Love it here! Very quiet, tons of amenities, we couldn't ask for a better place to call home. Plus you can't beat a Starbucks coffee machine on tap 24 hours!
I've only been living in The Drake for a month, but I have already fell in love with the place. Everyone has been so nice and helpful to get me.
We’ve been at The Drake for about 5 years and love it for the most part. Maintenance is great, the grounds are kept very clean, and management is responsive. It’s also a very dog-friendly neighborhood, which we love! Our only wish is that there was better soundproofing; our new upstairs neighbor is very loud!
Everyone has been so welcoming and kind. I have truly felt like a member of this wonderful community from the moment I walked in the door. Thank you!
I love the fact that you can put a maintenance request in at any time of the day or night and the response is almost immediate during the day when it comes to the maintenance team fixing the issue.
We’ve been here 17 months now, and are very happy. Our building neighbors are quiet and polite. The staff are wonderful! We weren’t needing a pool or exercise room anyway, so the small ones here aren’t an issue for us. (We are at the smaller of the two related properties.) The amenities at the much larger complex are great! My sister lives in that section and is very happy there, too.
It’s been awesome! Very friendly neighbors and the management have been nothing but very helpful. Great place to live and highly recommend anyone to move here!
Staff are efficient and super friendly. Complex is so pretty with green space and beautiful landscaping. Mu favorite area is the quad, with the lights and firepits.
everyone is wonderful and very nice quite and peaceful. staff is wonderful and very helpful anytime i have needed anything they try to do stuff for everyone in the complex
So far my experience at the drake has been great! I have always been iffy on apartment living but the drake makes it a nice a friendly experience.
Nice facilities. I love the amenities such as the Starbucks machine, pool, dog play areas, and the walking trail. There is also a really cool area to wash you dog.
I absolutely love living here. Have lived in several other places in BG previously and The Drake is by far the best. So thankful for everyone here and all they offer!
Love being at the Drake. The community is fantastic and the staff does its best to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone in the Bowling Green region.
We have only been at the Drake for 2 months, but we absolutely love everything about it so far! Best complex and staff around! Very clean complex and the apartments are absolutely stunning!
I’ve only been here a few months, but all the residents I’ve met have been wonderfully welcoming and friendly style is utterly amazing in every way I love all the benefits, the beauty of the property and look forward to the time I have here
We love living here. We always feel safe and the grounds are always kept clean. The only thing that needs improvement is the soundproofing. I can hear everything my upstairs neighbor does…everything.
It’s very quiet and clean. I absolutely love living here. The staff has been great. Maintenance fixes everything in a timely manner. Nobody bothers people.
I've only lived here just shy of two months. But already I love it here. It's calm and peaceful but still full of life and activities. The property is amazing and the staff work really hard to keep residents happy as well.
I love it here! The staff is great. The amenities are great. I’m having to move because my income has changed. If it hadn’t, I for sure would stay ?¨
Our move in was the best decision we’ve made in a while. This place is awesome and feels like home already. We’ve enjoyed the pool and our deck is very nice. The administration here have been very helpful and supportive in everything.
Almost 2 years and i still have a great time leaving in the drakes Everything is amazing . The clubhouse and the pool area are still great and i enjoy them
The Drake apartments is run by very kind and attentive individuals. The complex is clean and quiet while also catering to anyone wanting to have fun and relax by the pool and bon fires.
We have no complaints this far! After only living here for a week, we are so happy we chose the Drake. The one issue we mentioned on our move-in inspection was taken care the day after we turned in the paper. Great environment!
