Chatham Wood Apartments

Not worth it for the crummy amenities and outdated apartments. Rent keeps going up but my unit stays the same. Not sure why I'm even paying so much at this point. I've asked every year for 5 years to have the old (falling apart) carpet replaced, and it's never been done. All I've gotten is empty promises and excuses. Not to mention the communication here is absolutely terrible! You are told work will be completed on x day(so rearrange your life and make sure you are ready) only for no one to... show up, even after speaking with the office to confirm. No call, no notice, no apology just a make sure you rearrange your life again on another day so we can come back. Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've had to deal with this lack of consideration. Another huge concern is how unsafe I feel here, it is not well lit at all, building lights malfunction all the time, leaving entry ways in darkness. My car has been broken into on 3 separate occasions as the parking lots are also poorly lit. The buildings at the back of the complex are the worst, strange people who do not live here do drugs and hang around in the breeze ways. Please if you live alone, avoid this place. I'm thrilled that we decided not to renew our lease and I cannot in good conscience reccomend this complex to anyone else. Lee mas

I just moved in and I am very happy that I did.
when I moved in the apartment was ready to go, I have lived in apartments for many decades and this is one of the better moves that I have made. Office staff is friendly and welcoming, maintenance staff got things right. location is great. I am very happy . Come check them out.

Pros:
Property managers committed to solving problems, if they even come up (thanks Shannon!).
Little to no excessive noise (good neighbors?)
Well laid out apartments. All space can be used effectively.
Parking *generally* isn't an issue. Don't have to walk far. There is an overflow, just in case.
Feels safe without needing overbearing community gates or anything.
Well laid out landscaping, but definitely needs more sidewalks.
The office collects mail that doesn't fit in the standard mailbox... .
The maintenance staff are nice & competent. Typically the problem will get solved within a day or two for smaller/simple stuff.
Plenty of storage space.
Flexible leasing.

Cons:
Some of the less expensive apartments can be pretty basic - no frills. Could use some minor renovations, i.e. resealing the windows and doors, redo the trim and spattered paint on flooring, potentially upgrade appliances & central air units.
Needs better (cardkey?) access to the pool and exercise equipment. Often the pool can be closed well before its regularly cold outside.

Today my friend and I got bad news about an apartment we were looking for until we found Chatham Woods Apartments and made the impulse drive there. We were greeted with a smile and welcoming face, Misty. She was very enlightening on our tour and answered any questions we had. She was very fun and delightful and I wish all the other apartments we looked at had people like her. I am glad to say we have found a place and beyond ready to move into our new home and become part of Chatham Woods... Community! Lee mas
