Great apartment complex
We lived here for a year, and we only left because we moved out of state. This was a great place to live. I loved that each apartment had its own outdoor space - especially because we were lucky enough to have a completely gated area, which our puppy highly enjoyed. The rent was reasonable (though it seems to have gone up a bit in the last two years), and the scenery was great. I haven't seen any other apartments so far that have as many sidewalks as this place does, but it's such a great feature. There are a ton of dumpsters everywhere, which makes getting rid of garbage easy. It's close to shopping, and the bus stop is right there. The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I didn't realize the extent of my love for this apartment complex before I moved and realized how much I had taken for granted. The area is always clean. It has a homey feel to it. There are pet waste trash bins everywhere, which makes cleaning up after your dog so easy.
The only negative thing I have to say about this complex is the way they handle lease renewals. Our lease said we had 60 days before the end of the lease to make up our minds. Their website said 60 days. The piece of paper with lease renewal options said 60 days. Yet they kept insisting we tell them at 30 days. This wouldn't really have mattered if we weren't waiting to see if my boyfriend's contract would be renewed or not, so we really needed the extra time, time we should have gotten because that was what the lease agreement said. Perhaps they have changed the information on their site/leases since then, but that was a big problem for us, and that is why I am docking one star from the review.
Other than the lease issue, this was a great place to live. I would highly recommend it. If we ever moved back to Charlottesville, we would be coming back to this complex.
