The apartments are old. We had the water shut off several times in winter because of pipe problems. Our toilet leakeked for months. The fixtures are old. The air filters were never changed I think because they were so dirty so check that if you move in. The kitchen storage is so limited. The washer and dryer are small I don't think you can fit a blanket in them. People tend not to pick up after their dogs so you might step in some if you walk on the grass. The carpet in the hallways is old and... the paint is chipping. Most of the people who live here are Indians who work at abvee and I think the only reason they live here because they want to be close to work and desperate to get their kids in a decent school district.

This apartment complex is definitely overpriced, I would recommend trying to find a cheaper place in the area. Myself and multiple neighbors have complained regarding the heating and air conditioning and filthy HVAC vents with no response from staff. It is very difficult and expensive to break your lease early, and they are not flexible with your needs. The pool is only open for a very short period of time in the summer. Save yourself the trouble and rent somewhere else, this place isn't worth... it. The local police have to patrol the property as there is apparent drug trafficking activity. The office and maintenance staff is a revolving door. Read More

You will not regret or disappointed by choosing Deere Valley Apartments.
We have been residing here for the last four years. Our experience is fabulous. The managements are very friendly and helpful. Billy, the maintenance manager, is a great guy. Your maintenance requests will be taken care of without any delay. Great school districts. Check Oak Grove School (District 68) for more detail, if you have little ones. The school bus comes and picks up the student from Deer Valley. Also, it is a... safe place for you and your family. We let our kids play outside without any worries. ?????? ?? ?? ?????? We are going back to MN next week. We will miss Deer Valley. If you are joining Rosalind Franklin University, check them if they have specials. God bless! Read More

Hard to find a reliable, safe apartment complex on the border of Waukegan, but Deer Valley is just that. The school system (Oak Grove) is top notch! Remodeled 24/7 gym, clubhouse, pavement. Most residents are very quiet and have a job at Abott, meaning they need to sleep early and not stay up at all hours of the night. Maintenance guys are the best in the business and response time is usually a few hours. Only issue is the kids (and sometimes parents) playing in the middle of the street.
