Two years ago, I moved to Farmers Park. We were planning to build a retirement home, in the area, and wanted to be close to our daughter and granddaughter.
After narrowing the options to three complexes I chose Farmers Park! I have never, not one single day regretted the decision.
Derrick Smith, property manager, was knowledgeable about the area, provided data as requested, returned calls, texts, emails in a timely manner and was helpful at every step in the process.
I had not lived in an apartment since my early college days so electronic key find, security cameras, safe (and inside) mailboxes, recycling, valet trash/recycle service at my door, package delivery to my door, emaculate tile areas, a community rool w/kitchen and all the necessary items to host meetings, meals or family dinners. I requested an organic garden spot and gardened #4 last year as a school project for my grandchildren. It was so much fun. You plant and gather your garden. The staff maintain the automatic watering system and "The Rain Cloud Pavillion" to sit in and catch a rest while the garden grows!
Inside the secure apartment quiet indoor carpeting and heated and cooled hallways are an added touch.
My husband loved the safe, electronically secured recreation room where his golf clubs and bicycle were always handy on the first floor.
The safe weather stairwell was a blessing last year when tornado sirens alerted and residents moved quickly to a safe area. Everyone brought their pets and others helped as patents made several trips to retrieve children, pets and necessary cell phones, etc. It is a safe community!
Every detail is measured and purposeful. The largest Farmers Market is right outside my building where local vendors, food trucks, flowers, micro brew services, and some of the finest brunch dining in Springfield - The Aviary is just an elevator ride away!
The staff are friendly, helpful and caring. Ryan keeps "all things mechanical" on track with preventive maintanance checks (always with your consent) no surprises. I enjoyed a large corner apartment home with floor to ceiling, wrap around windows, a covered outdoor balcony for plants and taking in a Missouri sunset. It was perfect.
Pet friendly does not describe the value Farmers Park places on fur babies! I have nine hall "friends" on my floor and any time I am taking my two Yorkies out for a walk my neighbors call them by name and always pause to chat and scratch a furry pet. It is wonderful.
My home was just completed this week and it was time to say goodbye to my friends and neighbors at Farmers Park. Derrick, of course, made leaving as easy as my arrival. He personally called to see if I needed assistance or any support. He treated me with utmost respect and kindness. I will miss seeing him around the property. I will miss all the really good humans who call Farmers Park home.
If you fond yourself in search of a safe, pet friendly, energy efficient, apartment home. Don't waste your time looking. I share my experience, without prompting, so you can rest assured Farmers Park is a great community...
Read moreThe worst place I have ever lived at, horrible customer service, was left 3 days with no water in my apartment first week I was there had a broken toilet was told by the maintenance crew that's how it was, until the toilet completely stopped working. Needed help with covid relief 2 times but was threatened to be evicted for my apartment after being late for 5 days. Had the worst experience during situations that the apartment complex was dealing with, I had no water for 3 full days and wasn't helped with anything, until I made it know I wasn't able to even have drink or showering water. In January of this year we had a freeze over and I was with out electricity from 3am till about 5pm in the afternoon when the temperature was around single digits. I had horrible experience with other tenets there and had nothing but rasicim at the apartment complex major reason why I left. Now that I've been out of the apartment complex a full month, I was charged for utilities for the month of January asked of I could use my deposit towards that, I have gotten so response back tried calling the location and no one ever answers. Tried emailing a few other times and nothing. AGAIN THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVERN AT AN...
Read moreMy wife and I just recently sold our home that we've been living in for over 20 years. We have decided to try and find an apartment to live in for the next 2 to 3 years while we build the home we want to retire in as were both 60 years old now
We thought we had narrowed our choices down to what we wanted to look at in Chesterfield Village and Farmers Park, however we have now emailed twice and called four different occasions to Farmers Park and I've only received 1 reply and it was in response to our email, they emailed me back.
I've now left four different messages for a return phone call indicating that we would really like to come see the apartments as we need to make a decision soon, and if we need to wait a couple months before moving in we can make temporary arrangements if necessary
I've never experienced customer service so poorly as what I've experienced with Farmers Park not a single phone call back after four phone calls I've made and left messages for on four different days, discouraged and disappointed doesn't even begin to describe...
