I lived in Oakbrook Manor for 18 months after moving to the area for a new job. My apartment was filthy when I moved in. I had to fix most maintenance problems myself. They didn't even shovel the walkways to the apartment buildings after 2 feet of snow. It took 4 days to fix a clogged sew line resulting in sewage backing up in my bathtub. I had no use of my bathroom for that time period. The windows are paper thin and ice formed during cold days and outside noise was easily heard. There was a garage behind my bedroom wall where the person renting it would work on vehicles at all times of the day and night. The laundry room was filthy with no hot water. I would not recommend living there at this time.
Pros: Cheap, always apartments for rent.
Cons: Dirty, Lack of Maintenance.
