Royal Hill Apartments Phase I

Royal Hills is a great place to live for nature lovers! The AT has several trail entrances within 5 miles of here, the river is a mere 3 1/2 mile walk, and Skyline Drive is also within walking distance...as are Main Street and lots of local, small business shopping and eateries. The building managers, Kim and Eddie are kind and helpful!! And luckily for me, the neighbors in my building are quiet and drama free.

After Kim and the boy took over as site management, it was an awful experience to live there.

1.) The boy would stand outside with a few other older tenants and gossip saying awful things not only about myself but some of the others. One of the tenants I confronted and she revealed that she had seen my file which holds personal information I only released to the management and myself.

2.) I spent 4 hours cleaning my apartment after I had moved out to insure my security deposit was returned.... I accompanied the walk-through and signed a form stating only the carpet shampooing and a “re-clean” of the apartment would be taken out of my deposit. When I received my check they had taken an extra $200.

3.) I agreed to move out 2 weeks earlier in the month so they could rent the apartment out as soon as possible. Kim was supposed to refund me a few weeks of the full month I had paid. That never happened and it was impossible to get in contact with her or anyone.

4.) Getting in contact with anyone in the building is impossible!! The only time they call back or call on their own is when it involves a rent payment.

The whole experience was uncomfortable, aggravating, and disrespectful. I was a tenant for 3 years and was so uncomfortable I relocated quickly.

I Do NOT recommend becoming a tenant unless you absolutely need an income based place to live. Even that is debatable. Read More
