Love it here!! We have lived here for 7 months now and it's been amazing!! We have had no complaints whatsoever. We love our place, the amenities, the community feel, and the staff! The office ladies are so sweet and the maintenance guys are all so prompt and helpful. The events have been a fun added bonus as well. And the gym is great! I was able to cancel my gym membership and just do my workouts here. We would recommend Stillwater to anyone, it's been a perfect place for us :-)

Poor communication via email I keep trying to email the office regarding my rental insurance. No one ever responds to my emails.

Stillwater New Community

I’ve had a great experience at Stillwater Apartments. The community is peaceful, well-maintained, and you can tell management truly cares about the property and the residents. The landscaping is always clean, amenities are in good condition, and maintenance requests are handled promptly and professionally.
The office team is responsive, respectful, and solution-oriented. They communicate clearly and follow up, which makes a big difference in apartment living. The community events are a nice...
touch and help create a welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, if you’re looking for a property that balances value, service, and a comfortable environment, Stillwater is definitely worth considering.

The new management never answers the phone and always trying to enter the unit the same day of placing out notices. Management is awful

Running away from Runaway Bay!!

Since moving in there’s been multiple managers and horrible maintenance. And apparently the last manager threw away all the work orders which hopefully doesn’t mean they threw away our original rental agreement paperwork because the apartment needed to be fixed before we moved in and never was. The buildings are old and were never maintained. They need to be torn down and replaced. Roaches and water bugs galore and Yes both!!! We weren’t allowed to use the fireplace we were told upon moving in... the property lost insurance because a crackhead set their apartment on fire. This new Apartment manager is making improvements but the prices are honestly ridiculous at the moment based on space, area, and living conditions alone. I can’t wait until my lease is up.
