Been here about 2 years now and honestly we never had any complaints. Maintenance is always quick to respond. The gym is really well stocked and all equipment is well maintained, only had one issue with a machine and that was fixed by the next day. The pool is always clean. Grounds are well maintained. BBQ areas (when open in summer) all work and are clean which is great. The ladies who work there really went above and beyond to help us when we were moving in. Everyone is pretty friendly. It is also a dog friendly place, which is a bonus.

I have lived in Prairie Winds for 8 years. I like the everything about the complex, that I even upgraded my apartment at lease renewal.

The office staff is very friendly.They are diligent and take care of any needs I have promptly and efficiently. They have events in the clubhouse of different themes and provide food and liquor. There is an upcoming pool party this month.

The maintenance staff is great. I only had a couple of minor issues, and they fixed whatever I needed, on the same or next day the latest. They keep up the property immaculately and have been the same team for years now too!

The amenities are amazing. When I have a first-time visitor, they can't believe the size of the 24-hour gym, or the how nice the 24-hour indoor pool & oversized hot tub are. They have conference rooms with big screens TV's. Even a very nice pool table that is also free 24 hours.

My favorite amenity is the outdoor pools with chaise lounges, tables, plus hammocks and cabanas, right next to a 4 grill, grilling station surrounded by a 20-seat bar for people to eat at. I was pleasantly surprised that those amenities are open by the outside temps. Unlike many other places that are only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That's like and extra 2 months.

They really thought out the landscape plan with different trees, so there is green all year round, which is perfect for the many dog owners to walk their dogs to the onsite dog park or trails around with pet waste stations throughout. They even have 1 garbage area with compactor away from the apartments, so there are never any unsightly trash cans or trash days to deal with.

I could say more nice things, but this review says all you need to know!

We love it here. Prairie Winds is a great community. The people who live and work here have been very helpful and friendly.

The units are beautiful and well maintained and the convenience of having your own garage is fabulous.

I have lived at Prairie Winds since about March and have loved my experience! The property itself is beautiful and well maintained (with lots of amazing amenities). Although apartments, it feels more like living in a townhome between the floor plans, private entrances, and landscape. The office staff has been very kind and supportive to both myself and my family, and they always have a sucker or dog bone to hand out! I haven’t had to interact with maintenance, as everything in my apartment has been perfect since moving in. It’s also nice that they do little extras for the families that live here, such as an egg hunt, or breakfast, or Mother’s Day treat. Overall, Prairie Winds is a welcoming community/neighborhood vibe and a great home!

I downsized from a large family home to a 2 bedroom apartment here at Prairie winds. From the first time I walked into the office I knew this was the place for me. The office staff did not disappoint, were professional and personable. They have been great ever since. My Apartment is like a house. The upgrades are beautiful and I have not heard a neighbor ever since being here. I feel like I am living in a luxury hotel every day. The maintenance staff is like no other. They are professional and personable and get the job done. I have been here 3 months and know I am not leaving here anytime soon. Prairie winds is home and with the amenities is well worth the rent I pay. The staff goes above and beyond to have events that help you lmeet your neighbors. All my neighbors are nice and the grounds are beautiful. I cant say enough nice things about Prairie winds!

I have been living at Prairie Winds Apartments for almost a year now, and my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The amenities provided here have truly elevated my living experience. The indoor and outdoor pools are not only beautiful but also well-maintained, offering a perfect retreat whether I want to swim laps or simply relax by the water (which tends to be the preferred option!).

The gym is, without a doubt, the highlight for me since I workout 5-6x/week. It's equipped with everything I need for a good workout, making it easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle without the need for an external gym membership..WOOHOO! The variety of equipment ensures that there's something for everyone, and the cleanliness and organization of the space contribute to a positive exercise environment.

The grilling stations are a wonderful addition, providing a great space for outdoor gatherings and enjoying delicious meals. You can always count on seeing a friendly face at the grills. In the summer months it truly becomes a gathering place for all the tenants. Shortly after living here we were invited to come out to the grills only to find out that everyone gets together regularly to cook and share conversations. Seemed to good to be true but that's exactly what happened! Have I sold you yet?

The apartments themselves are spacious and well-designed. I appreciate the thought that went into the layout, providing both functionality and a sense of openness. The attention to maintenance and landscaping adds to the overall appeal of the community.

Beyond the amenities and physical spaces, what truly sets Prairie Winds Apartments apart is the people. The staff is not only professional and responsive but also genuinely friendly and welcoming. It's evident that they care about the well-being of the residents, creating a sense of community that is truly special.

I feel fortunate to call Prairie Winds Apartments my home. It's more than just a place to live; it's a community that enhances my lifestyle, and I can't recommend it enough. Also, I huge thank you to Amy in the front office. Without you, this wouldn't have become a reality!

My wife and I moved to Prairie Winds following a fire at our home. We had very low expectations of any temporary housing but were thrilled when our relocation consultant found us this property. We have had only 100% positive interactions with everyone in the management office. A few minor items needing maintenance intervention popped up, but the response was swift, fixed the first time with a smile and always handled professionally. The amenities are something that are very much growing on us. The exercise facility rivals what I paid for at a local health club, indoor & outdoor pools, full locker room and a secure mailing center that beats receiving package deliveries at our home's doorstep. The people here are friendly and respectful. There's a number of people who have dogs, but the owners do an excellent job of cleaning up after and training their dog to interact well with others. We're very fortunate to have found Prairie Winds!
UPDATE: With our house restored, we 've moved back home and can now reflect on the 10 months we lived at Prairie Winds. The impeccably appointed units are maintained by their very responsive, efficient and friendly maintenance crew. The amenities are one of the things we will miss more than we realize at the moment. But, we can't say enough about the office staff. Susan, Amy & Emily treated us, as they do all residents, as if we were family. Helpful and responsive beyond our expectations, they assisted us in every way possible. Although we had a unique rental experience and knew that our stay was finite, without question, if we were looking for a long term rental residence, we would never choose anything but Prairie Winds. 10 out of 5 stars!
