  DO NOT MOVE HERE. Save yourself and move to Sycamore or other affordable areas. Our upstairs neighbors fight every single night and my daughter says she's scared. We literally cannot sleep. Management is terrible has not done ANYTHING. Corporate hasn't done ANYTHING. If you find yourself in the same situation you'll need to pay $2,000 to break your lease. Oh and did I mention I've only lived here for three months?! Even the business manager says she has WITNESSED DRUG TRAFFICKING BY MY NEIGHBORS. AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. If you're tempted to move here don't. It's run by terrible people and unfortunately some terrible people live here. Keep your family away.
  
  UPDATE: Amber Manor's response to the situation above was to "allow us" to move into another apartment without paying the transfer fee. (gee, thanks) However, we did have to pay for a moving truck and go through all the trouble of moving... again. During the winter months our electric bill was $200!!! Solely because of the heater! Mind you I am very frugal and used heat as little as possible and our bill in the old unit was only $30. When I called ComEd they told me it must be the heater in the unit, because the old tenants had bills around $400!
  I had another run in with management when they were doing construction on all of the parking lots. They wrote an extremely unclear note about the construction, making it seem as if the parking lots in front of the buildings were going to be worked on one by one. They must have realized that notice was unclear and put up another one on our buildings then night that they were going to be doing construction on my building saying we couldn't have our cars parked outside at 12 am. I never saw this notice because there wasn't one on MY particular building! Long story short, my car got towed even though construction work on my building didn't begin until the next day. I was pissed and told the incompetent management that they didn't notify us properly. The response I got was "I got 70 calls from residents asking where they could park yesterday. You should have just called." YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO TAKE 70 CALLS IF YOU JUST WROTE OUT A THOROUGH NOTICE SAYING WHEN EACH INDIVIDUAL BUILDING WAS GETTING WORKED ON. They literally will never admit that they're wrong or even apologize. I spent $150 getting my car back and I was also late to my first day at my new job because of it. As everyone else has said... if you actually listen to your residents... admit you're wrong... and make changes, then maybe all the good residents wouldn't leave.
  
  UPDATE 2 4/17/18: It seems that Amber Manor has gotten some new staff and a new business manager, so hopefully things there will change for the better and they will take these issues seriously. Regardless, I am glad I have moved out because unfortunately, this is not the best area. (Crime, drugs, etc... as I mentioned above). Honestly, I would only give an ok to live at Amber Manor if it is your last resort, or you have a dog (they accept all breeds).
