Woodland Courts

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with my fellow Unilocaler who loves this place. In my opinion, it blows.
Maybe this Unilocaler lives in a building with residents that actually respect one another (super lucky)! The buildings – well, at least our building – are old, the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything in other apartments (I wish one neighbor would stop aguing with her boyfriend?/pimp?/husband? about the same damn problems and just dump his ass, geez).
Management is non-​existant (hard to reach, especially if you have questions/​concerns, and doesn’t return phone calls). Some neighbors are nice, but many in and near our building do not have respect for anyone (for example, there is some guy who claims to be a «DJ» who blasts music almost every weekend from his apartment… and you can hear it throughout the entire courtyard).
Maintenance guys are usually nice and helfpful, and I do agree with the previous review in that they keep the grounds nice and well-​maintained.
NOTE: If you like racoons, there are plenty of them that roam around, especially near and in the dumpsters in the parking lot.
There are plenty of better options out there folks. This place isn’t worth the rent they charge.

I promise I don’t work for Woodland Court apartments, but I really like Woodland Courts. When I first moved here, it was family owned and managed and their were cameras, which is why I chose the place. They offered me a low security deposit and one month free. I had new carpeting and the apartment was spacious and well maintained. It is now managed by Pinnacle, I believe, and they are doing a decent job. Things don’t get done as soon as they used to but in comparison to other apartment communities that I have lived, I would give them an A. The grounds are very well maintained. The elementary and Junior High schools that the kids attend are good schools. There are a lot of children in the area. That was a plus for me. Every year their is a community pool party for residents. Pinnacle has continued that tradition. The only time I have ever had a problem is when some pipes were being worked on in the basement and it took months for them to get rid of all of the gnats, but other than that, no real problems. The location is great. It is a bit pricey for Alsip, but there is a pool and a nice balcony. Also, you are probably paying for the location. The cameras no longer work. My lease ends soon and I am really going to miss living at Woodland Courts, but I don’t want my child at Eisenhower or a pricey private Highschool so I have to go. If I didn’t have a teenager, I would definitely stay. The neighbors are wonderful (everyone works). There was a time when their was a waiting list to move in. That has changed but a lot of the residents have been their a long time. If I could change anything about Woodland Court, it would be that we had assigned parking spaces but the lot is huge and I believe the village of Alsip owns it.
