Orchard Park Apartments

The walls are paper thin. You'll hear your neighbors sneeze, cough, having sex, dogs whining or barking and everything you can imagine. The tenants here will have carte blanche to terrorize you with their noise. Very inconsiderate neighbors live at this complex and area. The worst was when a neighbor of mine would leave for work and their dog would bark nonstop for hours on end until they returned home. If you want peace of mind and quiet this is not the complex for you. However, the apartments… themselves are nice and clean and modern. They will take your deposit when you move no matter how clean or well kept the place is when you leave. Being on the north side of the city they are not safe and attract a rough crowd including the tenants. I would avoid living here and anywhere on the north side of Springfield. Ye have been warned.
No, really save yourself the stress. It's not worth it. You'll be better off and much happier living elsewhere.
Good luck! Read More

Move out charges are insane. They are trying to charge me for things that we fixed ourselves before we left. Replaced all lightbulbs, blinds, toilet seats, repaired any holes(keep in mind I have four boys and a greatdane) so yes small holes that I took the time to fill and sand left the apartment clean. Carpet was a little rough but nothing a good deep cleaning wouldn’t fix. Lived there for three years so the carpet seen a lot of traffic. I’m pretty sure they are supposed to replace the carpets… after so long anyways. Long story I’m being charged over 3g. Over half of the list they gave me are things I had already replaced. Do your homework I’m not the only person being overcharged for things. I paid for someone to clean the apartment thoroughly before I turned in my keys. Pay the extra costs and go elsewhere. No security cameras people are getting their cars broke into. Multiple thefts. Including my wallet and my husbands truck. Homeless camp in the woods across the street. AVOID this place. AVOID it at all costs. Read More

The management has been a popular complaint but I want to say over the past 18 months it has improved vastly. They are extremely friendly and have always been right there to address anything that might arise. So props to MANAGEMENT!

I live on the 2nd floor and I will have to say I have had 2 different sets of neighbors above me now and it's noisy. I can hear the shower running sometimes and can diffidently hear them walking, maybe they are all flat footed!

Maintenance does a great job closing… out your work request, most times the same day! I did have one occurrence where they worked on my deck and I was not aware they had been in my apartment to check my deck or to work on it. I brought it to their attention and I don't believe it will ever happen again.

The amenities are wonderful, I do wish that you could access all of them all the time and I will elaborate. You can not access the theater or media room in the club house after the staff leaves of course or on Sundays. Other than that fantastic!

As for the price, they are listed above! But you get a spacious apartment with all the amenities and you can have pets. You don't pay 1st months rent/last months rent and a deposit plus pet deposits which can add upwards of $2000.00 plus depending on where you are moving.

So overall I think it's a pretty great deal! And yes it's NORTH Springfield but you can take the HWY around the city or the Bypass to James River there are options! Read More

Worst experience I've had! The walls are very thin. I can hear the people around me using the bathroom (urinating, etc). I have had a banging pipe in my wall for over 3 months and they still have not fixed it. My water bill has gone up a couple dollars every month since I've been here. The final straw was when I came home today to find everything on my counter piled in the middle, with drywall and paint all over everything including my camera and laptop. And I'm missing medication from the… bottle that was on my counter. I was not called or notified that anyone would be entering my apartment at all today. The management acts like they care and will work on it but we are just getting the run around. I do not recomend these to anyone. You can get an older apartment with less problems and save a lot of money. Read More
