I recently lived at Glen Oaks East Apartments, and my experience there was profoundly impacted by the support I received from Krista and Kyle in the leasing office. When I encountered a difficult personal situation, Krista and Kyle were incredibly accommodating and understanding. They went out of their way for me, showing so much empathy and support during a very challenging time. Krista and Kyle are genuinely good people. They don’t just view this as a business transaction; they actually care... about their tenants and their wellbeing. Beyond the remarkable staff, the property itself is beautifully maintained, with spacious rooms, modern appliances, huge balconies, and great amenities. The community is also pet-friendly, which added to the positive living experience. Glen Oaks East Apartments is just a fantastic place to live, made even better by Krista and Kyle’s exceptional care and understanding. I can’t recommend this community enough for its genuine, caring approach to its residents. Read More

Okay price aside, this place is a gem. My roommate and I were recent graduates in 2023 and were relatively new to apartment hunting. Before living here, the search for an apartment was full of firsts, and we were very cautious about what we wanted. The thought of finding everything that we wanted was a dream. That is until we visited Glen Oaks for the first time and met Kyle and his team.

Immediately we were welcomed with open arms and even though we were on edge he made sure to level with us... and disperse our doubts immediately. He was a friendly face that went beyond surface niceties. They assured us that this was a place we could call home and it was.

When I say that it was and is night perfect, I mean it. It's a quiet community with a very homey atmosphere, especially during the winter. The decor of the apartments is modern and they allow you the freedom to customize as you choose. We had zero noise complaints, keeping in mind that there were pets in the complex. Most importantly, the staff, led by Kristie and Kyle. There's a reason Glen Oaks is the way it is.

For them, this place is precious, the community especially. They pride themselves on serving the community as best as they can, because of the passion they have for the place. So you can bet your pants that this place is loved and cared for, unlike places where it's just a business.

I should also mention that the repairs and maintenance are timely and the amenities are good--minus the gym, the gym should be bigger. :) You can also have pets, but restrictions are applied. And there is a moving discount for people who work at certain places, so make use of that if you choose to move here.

Even though we don't live there anymore, I'd still encourage you to come over and find out for yourselves how good this place is. I assure you that you will have a pleasant experience here. Read More

I cannot say enough good things about Kyle, Krista, Mark and Glen Oaks East overall. Their team is a small but mighty one and they had my back from the beginning - starting with them going above and beyond to combat extenuating circumstances to find a way for me to live here. As a female looking for a place to live in Grand Rapids, my safety and comfortability was important to me, and they made it important to them too. This place felt like home from the first tour with Kyle and I can't imagine... having a more positive experience living somewhere. It also should be noted that in the year I lived at Glen Oaks I did not have to place a single maintenace request. I've never lived anywhere (and I've rented places in Grand Rapids for the last 4 years) that I haven't had to deal with multiple things breaking or leaking or having issues with and I did not have a single one here - although I know if I did, Mark would have come by immediately and fixed for me. My only complaint is my time living here went by too quickly! If you chose to live at Glen Oaks, you'll have a group of people that actually care about you and making it a great experience from start to finish. Read More

Upon moving in, I was very surprised how spacious each room was, clean, bright, and nicely painted with fresh paint and updated cabinets, countertops and lighting fixtures. This place is way better than I thought when I walked through it (twice) and we are so happy in our new home. Location couldn't be more perfect - it's private and secluded and very pretty, yet very close to everything. We love it!

Glen Oaks East Apartments are some of the nicest units my fiancé and I checked out! They are are located just outside of downtown GR near Forest Hills. The area is safe, all the units have been newly renovated, and the price is great! We had the pleasure of working with Kyle and Krysta and they are phenomenal. Both of them treated us like family and were always available to answer any thoughts or questions we had during the whole process. I would highly recommend Glen Oaks to anyone!
