Shadow Creek Apartments

I lived at ShadowCreek for 1yr (2010 – 2011). The only reason I’m giving 3 stars and not 4 stars is the price is a little high for Lufkin… even though this was the only «luxury» apt in the area.
Pros:
–Dog friendly grounds
–Gated
–Grounds are kept clean
–24 hour management answering service — comes in handy when I’ve locked myself out early in the morning walking the dog (several times)
–office staff (Emma) is very nice and remembers your name
Cons:
— Bark park (off leash dog park) is actually a ditch that is enclosed by a gate. If i dont pay attention, my dog got really muddy and dirty several times running down the hill into the ditch. Suggestion for management: treat the bushes/​trees with flea/​insect repellent now that it’s warmer outside. I’m not sure if this is a direct relationship, but my dog tended to bring home unwelcome «visitors» after visiting the park
— trash pick up is not daily
Overall the location was conveniently close retail areas and had quick access to the freeway. If i had to choose, I’d live here again.
