    Nice location but poor value

    I lived here 11 years - the lakefront setting, clean landscaping, revamped clubhouse, monthly activities and free/available bus to doctors and grocery are great. Rent on a 2-bed with carport is low (~$800) but only really affordable with family help; electric heat is expensive and there are annual increases and extra fees. Buildings are old and units small with outdated kitchens (no dishwasher, old fridges), spotty maintenance, aging laundry rooms, and some serious upkeep issues (water damage, dirty rooms). Management changed from the founders to their children; staff can be unfriendly and I had my deposit mostly withheld for "wear and tear." Beautiful location and decent services, but poor value overall - I can't recommend it.

    About Forest Meadows Villas

    Forest Meadows Villas sits at 574 Leisure Lane in Medina, Ohio and welcomes adults aged 55 and older, offering a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The average rent is about $1,370, and some units wrap in utilities like electricity, water, garbage, cable, internet, and even solar power, which helps keep costs down, and the solar energy system is one of the first for multi-family living in this area, meaning the place was set up green right from the start. Residents can pick from a variety of floor plans, including the Villa with one bedroom, the Midroom Villa with space that works for an office, dining, or a second bedroom, and the Townhome Villa with two bedrooms and plenty of extra living space, so no matter what, there's room for more than just the basics, and every villa comes with a big living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, and disposal, plus electric heating, carpet and hardwood floors, cable-ready set-up, and high-speed internet.

    The grounds outside are always kept up, with landscaping, picnic spots, outdoor grills, and a lake, and most villas offer an outdoor patio, a front porch, and even the chance for a private garden looking out over the lake or courtyard, if you want to pay for that view, and there's also the option for a private covered carport for your car. There's a mail room close to the villas, a clubhouse that hosts weekly activities and events, and a Villa Voice newsletter to keep everyone updated, plus on-site laundry and storage available for a little extra if you need it. Dogs and cats are welcome, within certain limits, so pets can live here too, and there are strict non-smoking rules, both in public and private indoor spaces, so the air stays clean.

    Safety's always considered, with features like a personal Life Alert necklace and a wireless personal alert system offered, and there's maintenance for interiors, exteriors, and appliances included. Residents can use free bus transportation to grocery stores, doctor's appointments, and social events in the area, and parking's straightforward right by the villas. Community spaces are always tidy, with remodeled apartments, clean clubhouses, and nicely kept grounds, and anyone living here has access to both on-site and off-site activities and trips to keep busy and engaged, with a focus on making it easy to live an active life among people your own age. Memory care services are available too, and the place recently underwent renovations, so things look bright and fresh throughout. Average reviews put Forest Meadows Villas at 2.0 stars, which means most people found it good, and the community encourages anyone curious to come by and take a look around.
