Sewells Park

I currently live here and am planning on moving out next month. Don’t know where to begin. Moved into the apartment and first thing I notice, a burned mark in the wood flooring about 2 feet in diameter right in the middle of the living room. Secondly, mold and wood rot in the bathroom about 15x5” right next to the bathtub. This neighborhood is not a safe place for anyone let alone children. There’s constantly police and fire trucks in this neighborhood, like at least 3 times a week. I had a… homeless woman who appeared to be a drug addict enter my building and knock on my door asking for money after she saw me enter my apartment. The AC and heater will work some days and won’t others. I’ve been dealing with a horrible German cockroach infestation for a few months now and I’ve tried every way to deal with the bugs to no avail, it must be building wide infestation. The managers actually had pest control come by to the apartments to see if they needed help. They came by and saw the problem then told me they would come back on Monday to take action. The never returned. Read More

They switched three property managers and were not at all organized. The apartments have loud tenants, and the apartments attracts mildew. Don’t do it.

I warn you- this will be long, but it will give you insight as to why you should not rent an apartment here. I broke my lease and paid over $2,000 just to be out of there after only 7 months.

I rented this apartment because I needed somewhere to go and quickly. At first it was awesome. The staff was amazing and helped me to get into a unit quickly.

My first issue began when they would do random unit checks and give you just a few days notice. If you have a pet they are to be contained… during that day -no times were given, just a generic statement that they could potentially enter your apartment without you being present.

My second issue would be maintenance. I had maintenance in my apartment without my knowledge and was told, by the maintenance man himself (Chris) that he stayed in my apartment and played with my dog a little because she wasn't kenneled. She would have been had I known the repair was going to be done. Not sure how it's ok for someone to stay in your apartment without your notification or even be in there at all. It also made me feel incredibly unsafe in my unit, I don't know what I had out that day, or what he could have potentially gone through without my being present. It was just incredibly unsettling. They also used KILZ paint to paint over water damage/mold staining in my unit and did NOTHING to fix the issue. The painted without my knowledge, while my dog was in the unit and didn't open a window to alleviate some of the fumes, which were ridiculously strong. Inconsiderate and unconcerned for you and your pet/family's health - bottom line.

My final issue was with the woman at the front desk. The one who was so incredibly nice and helpful to me when I first moved in turned into a completely different person when I went in to discuss breaking my lease. Not only was she short tempered and snappy but she also argued with me over if I even had mold in my apartment while throwing me dirty looks the entire time. She was also rude to a man who was there moving out with his broken lease as well. She was so awful that I emailed management regarding my run in with her.

All in all if you can afford to look somewhere else DO THAT.

DO NOT RENT HERE, I promise you I was not the only tenant who moved out in the short 7 months that I stayed there. Read More

I never had any trouble out of these apartments. It's nearby anything you could ever need, Kroger, Farm Fresh, Harris Teeter, ODU, Ocean View, everything. My neighbors were always quiet. Only issue was parking but it wasn't a horrible situation. I loved the hard wood floors and that the apartment came with a microwave. There were roaches when I first moved in but the complex was diligent about coming to spray the entire building periodically. I recommend staying here. Perfect size for one person… . Read More
