Roach Motel

If you like living with roaches, palmetto bugs, etc then this is the place for you. Exterminating only forces the bugs back into their hiding places, they return after about a week. This was never home, maintenance workers hang out behind the apartments on their phones instead of cleaning and making this a better to live. Roach motel, don’t believe the hype, the pictures only show the nice parts, and they have the nerve to charge a pest control fee and they are not controlled. I wonder does the… office have roaches, maybe I can drop off a few.

Wanted to apply but couldn't.

After seeing availability on Apartments.com, actually calling the place to confirm availability, I scheduled a 12:00PM appointment to see a unit (Blair to be specific) on 5/17. On the day of visiting, we were told the only unit they had was being 'refurbished' and that they didn't have any available units.

They still had a unit to look at, but after inspecting the apartment, while nice, was NOT the same original floorplan as the website. The person at the office said that the apartment had… been 'renovated' and a second half bath was added, and that the price went up with it. They explained they had a call center rather than an actual representative to set this appointment up.

So to keep a tally
-The website availability was wrong.
-The CALL CENTER telling me there was availibility was wrong
-The floorplan layout was wrong
-The Pricepoint was wrong (compared to both this website and the listed prices listed IN THE OFFICE.

Now, overall, the apartment within IS NICE. I like the location and everything. But this runaround is not appreciated. I notice the property manager often responds to the reviews here, and I'd like to state I'm still INTERESTED in renting here, but this was NOT a great first impression of the office side of the equation.

Thank you for bringing your inquiry and tour experience to our attention. We are very glad to know you liked the apartment you saw and are interested in being a part of our community, but we are sorry we did not have available the floor plan you… most wanted to tour. There are days when availability fluctuates rapidly, so it states on the listing that the information is subject to change. It is understandable that this situation you encountered would be disappointing, but we abide by fair housing laws and sometimes this results in a leased home and unavailability of a selected style. We would love to assist you in finding an alternative to suit your needs, so please call our office at (757) 461-5504 whenever you are interested in an availability update. We are eager to speak with you and turn around your impression of our wonderful community. Thank you again. -Claudia / Community Manager

Phenomenal living

My family and I moved here in 2009. Our experience has been above and beyond expectations. The Staff (Office and Mainteance) are very caring, respectful and efficient. The location is superb and convenient. The location is very sufficient for seasoned folks and families, pet friendly, on bus line, shopping centers and hospitals just to name a few where everything is within your reach.
