I would give negative stars if I could!!! they will tell you it's non-smoking, but surprise! the odor of marijuana is so strong it permeates other rooms. it is literally so strong that I fainted and went to urgent care. Additionally, the fire department has been called numerous times for a gas leak, because of the smell of gas in five nearby apartments. It smells of mold, according to the fire department lieutenant. In one month, I have counted 17 cockroaches coming from the stove, freezer, refrigerator. You can't breathe in here, but when they show you the apartment they will leave the balcony door open and spray air freshener. We have spoken to the management office, the owner of the property, staff at Neighborhood Properties in Charlottesville who oversee this apartment, their manager, their boss, and the regional manager, Tony, who were less than friendly. "Gunshots happen anywhere ma'am, cockroaches are normal, marijuana is natural ma'am! That's not our problem. You signed the lease. It is what it is."an actual quote from the manager of Neighborhood Properties regarding Brandon Ladd apartments. So, if you like the smell of marijuana, violence in neighboring apartments, gas and mold smells, being yelled at by property managers, this place is for you! Regardless of urgent care visits for difficulty breathing and fainting due to this, they still charge $2500 to break the lease in less than a month, and getting yelled at in the process while being extremely kind to them. These people are thieves, criminals, and con-artists. We are a respectable friendly hardworking family... to be treated like this is deplorable, as are their apartments. Oh if only they knew I'm a PhD student at UVA and can ruin their tiny reputation in an instant. Next in line is the health department, the Sheriff's office, and my lawyer. DO NOT MOVE HERE. read more
