Great Place To Live

Ive lived here 3 years. Great to have full basement & attached garage. Neighbors r friendly, safe, quiet. I would encourage anyone looking for an apartment to definitely look into one.

Current reside of Lakeview. I have been here since 2018. Everything started out OK, but as the years progressed, Ive come to the conclusion that the landlord is borderline slumlord. I have remained here purely out of necessity. Not much else given the area and I have kids who I need in a decent enough public school district. Grounds are kept very nice, but inside is a different story. Depending on the unit, appliances/unit as a whole is outdated. For those that they claim to have renovated, appliances, especially microwaves are cheap and literally just stop working every 6 months. When it is brought to their attention, it literally takes weeks to get a new one. After the 2nd time, I bought my own and used for about 1 month before they replaced it. They force you to sign in the lease that you will pay for carpet cleaning after you vacate. So it doesnt matter whether you live there for 1 year or 5...normal wear and tear does not factor in. While I can understand paying for badly damaged or stained carpet, that is not the case...you pay regardless. That is taken out of your security deposit. They have a loyalty program based on the number of years one stay. There is supposed to be certain rewards in the form of updates to the unit depending on number of years one has been a resident. I received a reward for my 1st year(after literally harassing them), been here 3 years, never received for 2nd year or 3rd year. They chalked it all up to COVID, but that did not stop them for collecting rent. Maintenance is not responsive. Their only priority is fixing the place up after a tenant vacates to get the next tenant in, but could careless about their current tenant. The owner advised neighbors to call the cops on my family because my 4 year old was too loud. Walls are paper thin, one can literally hear their neighbors breathe---yes, it is that thin!This is not a family friend place. Beware if you have children, especially young children. They will literally place families with young children next to elderly people and/or students and them move the family when neighbors complain and ask family to pay higher rent. These people only care about collecting a check. They could careless about your comfort, needs as it relates to the unit itself. Rent constantly increases with absolutely no updates or upgrades to the unit. Signed the lease this last time as I had no other option, but definitely will be out next summer. Consider this your warning...if you must lease from them for whatever reason, I understand given there is not much else around here for renters, but go in with the information above and dont be surprised. They are not good people, just a bunch of money hungry people. I have emails to prove everything single thing I posted here too. If you are seriously considering and need any evidence, just let me know and I can meet up and provide evidence. Yes, I am willing to do this because I dont want anyone to experience the way my family have felt living here the past 3 years. For the amount of money we pay in rent, this is totally unacceptable and it needs to stop.

I was a tenant here for 2 years while attending the medical school down the street. The property was in a prime and convenient location--close to areas downtown, as well as other amenities. They were very quick to resolve maintenance issues which was a huge stress relief for me.Regarding the management, they are receptive to tenant inquiries and concerns. Natalie in particular was quite amicable and dedicated to resolving issues that arose. I would certainly recommend you utilize Maleno if you will be in the Erie area.

I am a new resident to a Maleno property and have been amazed at how well run this community is. The team goes above and beyond your expectations. My son and I love it here!

We have been renting with Maleno for over 2 years now and love it! Staff is very friendly and responsive. They do a fantastic job keeping up with the rental property. I would highly recommend Maleno for anyone looking for a high quality rental company!

We have been clients/renters for 17 months and are very pleased with our unit in the Village on Pacific. It is perfect for us and comfortably accommodating for my wifes physical problems. We appreciate the attentiveness of Maleno to the detail maintenance they provide whenever the need arises. The area is quiet--which is a big plus for us. I have met several others domiciled in this community and all are pleased and some have been here for more than 11 years. I highly recommend this area for anyone looking to downsize with relatively care free living.

Been living here for a year and it’s the best! Management is friendly and helpful. No complaints! Planning to stay here for all 4 years I plan to be in Erie.

The home and the landscaping are nice. I found out through sheer happenstance that someone at Maleno, either maintenance or management, had lost the lock box key to our home prior to us moving in. I came across it five or so weeks after moving in under some bushes near our front door steps, and sure enough it still unlocked the house. For putting us at risk I have to deduct two stars.Update 3/22: Updating my response because I realize my experience may be one in a million and I believe Maleno has good intentions. Lets focus on the positives. The community here is great. There is shared outdoor space which is nice, and a lot of space to run. They have online pay with no convenience fee and online maintenance requests which are usually taken care of quickly. You have to be very nitpicky to find things you *dont* like about this home. Would give 4 and a half stars if I could.

This review is from Nedim FilipovicFantastic place to live in, very good & quiet location on top of that. Apartments are nice, clean and spacious. Having dishwasher, washer & drier in each unit makes it a extremely good deal. On top of that 24/7 fitness center & the pool is just another bonus for all of us... A+++++

Very helpful and responsive in any issues. The addition of AppFolio portal was the best decision Maleno could have made as it makes paying rent and requesting maintenance very smooth and simple.

Ive been living in Lakeview Apartments for about a year now and I absolutely LOVE IT, Best place to call it home and one of the best townhomes you can get in Erie, Great staff and very convenient location.

Great location with excellent amenities. Beautiful and spacious apartments with views of Lake Erie.

Quite neighbor, the entire staff is friendly and very helpful. Awesome place to live!!

Have stayed in Maleno for around 2 years and its been great staying here.Very well managed, friendly staff and especially enjoy having a garage, laundry facilities within apartment.

Great location, beautiful living space, and overall wonderful community to be a part of!

Community with better price and all amenities needed.

The staff is kind, and the apartments are beautiful! They do not say in the lease (or anywhere) that people can smoke inside the building. I signed a lease for a lovely newer building, but when I was moving in, I smelled smoke and found out I lived above a chain smoker. This is a a dealbreaker on a home for me. Maleno wouldnt let me out of the lease. I had to find someone to take over my lease; however, I still ended up paying 3 months rent.

Excellent service, and very helpful policies.

I have been staying in Lakeview apartment since 2016 and has pleasure experience so far...

I LIKE THE REWARDS PROGRAM.

The best real estate and rentals in Erie PA!
