I may be the wrong person to post for Timberlake Apartments...but here goes anyway.
Timberlake informed my roomate and myself that they may not have an apartment for us July 1st when we moved to town, so that it would be a better idea to rent starting June 1st. This may or may not have been true but I know that people were renting apartments at Timberlake up to the week that school started.
When I moved into the apartment on July 1st I found that a maintenance man had been using the apartment that I had been paying the rent for for the last month for his extensive breaks. He had brought a tv in for entertainment and there were pizza boxes scattered across the counters. Not only that but the apartment itself and the outdoor area was filled with garbage, pieces of the blinds had been removed, the sink was leaking, the washer and dryer were not hooked up, and the apartment itself had never been cleaned. The maintenance men were very quick to get things cleared out and cleaned up. However, after having the cleaning people come in on two occasions I still have never been able to get rid of the smell of urine in my bathroom. When my roomate and I talked to the front office about the month that we had paid and the three days that it took to get the apartment in order they told us that they were sorry but that they don't offer any compensation despite their apprent breach of contract. After this conversation they were considerably less friendly when we saw them over the course of the year.
We had new neighbors move in several months into our lease and within several weeks recieved a notice in the mail that we had had multiple noise complaints against us, and being that it was a breach of our contract that two more would result in eviction. After talking to the office about this and telling them that at least two of the cases were during block week when we weren't even home. They told me that there was no proof of that. So, the next noise complaint they came to my apartment and found that NOBODY was home! I am still trying to get the original complaints off of my rental history.
Finally, when we went to give notice that we would not be renewing our lease they informed us that because they had prorated us by one week back in June we owed them complete rent for the month of June and our lease agreement wasn't over until July 1st. This is in their lease agreement and I should have paid closer attention, but do not let them make you think that they are helping you by doing this as they are really trapping you in a 13 month lease.
I am sure that the majority of the people that live in this complex have had vastly different experiences, but from my own only I would not recommend this complex to others.
-----------------------------------------------
I just moved from the Timberlake Apartments. My lease expired and they were going to raise my rent by $100. The apartment itself was very nice and large for a one bedroom, but not worth $895 in this area (for month to month). My carpet was stained when I moved in and I had lots of cockroaches due to being downstairs and close to the dumpsters. My upstairs neighbors were quite loud; I thought they were building a bowling ally up there. The management was also quite lazy when it came to my finders fee check. By the way I still have not gotten it (from nine months ago). I am not holding my breath in getting my deposit any time soon.
On the good side, I liked that the apartments have alarms (but I never used it). I also liked the pool which has a waterfall in it (but I never went in that). I did, however, use the free yoga classes twice a week. I am going to miss that (but my wrist won’t).
Good luck in your apartment search!

I also live at Timberlake, and I have lived here for 2 years now. The pros, to me are: The staff has always been very friendly to me, and my maintenance needs have always been taken care of ASAP. I LOVE that they have alarms--that was a big selling point for me, since I lived alone the first year that I was here. I haven't used the clubhouse that much, but they do have a "theatre" that you can use to watch movies on a big screen (or have a superbowl party if it doesn't overlap with block exams). It also has a decent (not great, but functional) weight room with a treadmill, and there is a racketball court. The washer and drier are in a closet outside on the patio, which I thought was weird at first, but I actually really like it, because they don't make your house hot when you're using them, and you don't get all the noise inside either. The carpet, like all apartment quality carpet, shows up with stains very quickly after you move in, but they do let you get it cleaned every 6 months (no extra charge to you), which is nice.
As far as cons go: You can hear a lot of noise from the apartments around you--the walls are VERY thin. There are a lot of cockroaches, and although they spray for them every week, I get a lot of them in my house--especially once it gets hot outside. Also we have had two leaks in this apartment--one from our waterheater which needed to be replaced, and one from the hot water pipes upstairs. I guess the original plumbing in these buildings was bad, and we got a bad one. That said, they took care of the carpet cleaning and fixing the dry wall really quickly. After the second flood, they didn't offer us new carpet, but once we requested it, they did that for us too. They raise the rent on everyone after your 1-year lease is up. Ours went up $105. I actually got a good deal when I started on here ($715 for a 1-bedroom, ground-level--which was cheaper than anywhere else I looked) and our rent is $820 now, but it still seems comparable to rent in other complexes if I moved to them now.
