Having lived for over a year I was curious about the reviews. I see that the most critical ones are…read morefrom years ago. I love it here and since Jessica arrived as Property Manager things have continued to improve. She and her staff are friendly and attentive to problems, and she runs a tight ship when tenants are sloppy or careless.. The trash compactor area and recycling are much better though I am stunned at the amount of trash the complex produces, and more people seem to be picking up after their dogs (though I can't fathom why everyone doesn't). Roman and his maintenance staff are great!

I was really hesitant to leave this review and was hoping that corporate specifically Tammy Graveen…read morewould make things right but unfortunately their lack of empathy for their residents being robbed makes me realize how important this review is. My lease was up in July but I had already planned on moving June 1 so I told the office if anyone wanted to take over my apartment early, that would be great. No one told me that someone was going to be taking over my lease as of May 31. I only found out when I went to the office to hand them a check. I was dealing with Abbie at the front desk during all of this and I called her the next day to ask if it would be okay if I handed in my key and fully moved out Saturday June 3 and she said yes no problem at all. I got to my apartment on June 2 to pick up the rest of my items and a few of my personal items were outside my door, the front door was unlocked and 95 percent of my personal items inside that I had left were gone. When I told the front desk girls, they truly acted as though it was no big deal and were disgustingly dismissive and told me to call the manager on Monday. Monday Tabitha told me maintenance threw my stuff out because they thought I had moved out because Abbie never communicated that I had until the 3rd ( which I was paying for ). To make a very long story short Tabitha started to find some of my things that were supposedly thrown out even though me and her checked the dumpsters. Maintenance stole my stuff. Went through my stuff and took what they wanted. Since then I've gotten about 60 percent of my stuff back. The rest of it is gone. Hawthorne thinks it's good enough that they didn't make me pay rent up until the day the new residents moved in and gave me back my cleaning fee I pre payed for. Corporate is a joke. Hawthorne's staff can't be trusted on any level. I lived here 3 years and the day I moved in my air conditioner was broken and it was in July and they didn't notice. My air conditioner broke consistently every month for the first year I was there. Don't be blinded by their claims of luxury living when the staff are thieves.

We have tried contacting them 10-15 times over the past week with them finally picking up the phone once telling us they would call us back and they never did. We got their "courtesy officer" on the phone and he told us he couldn't help us and then hung up. Maybe the most unprofessional situation I've ever dealt with regarding an apartment complex.

They do not and will not address any issues here. I have the craziest neighbor upstairs who's out for revenge because I reported her. Now she stomps around all hours of the day and night.

And now my wonderful upstairs neighbor Hears me let my dog out on the deck as I always do in the am. And she dumps a gallon of some kind of liquid on her. I'm so over this place!

Coming out of my sink. Exactly what is this Disgusting black crud? They told me to just wipe it off once in a while. Along with the newfound issue of the pipes banging every hour or so, that I thought were mice at first. I have no idea. Neither do they. Nor do I care anymore.. yesterday was the second time I was approached by a strange person. Who dosent live here walking a massive King Corso Dog. I was on the phone walking my dog. I simply steped off the sidewalk. As I noticed his dog acting aggressively already towards mine. My dog never looked his way. He started yelling at me that my dog is AGGRESSIVE. And continued yelling... I just kept walking. My friend heard this entire CRAZY thing go on. . I've never seen this person on this property before. yet this is the second time this happened. Except it was a different guy who lives in the condos. Who strolls through here like he owns it. My dog Is NOT aggressive in any way! I guess there is something in the water !!

Price-wise, yes, you're paying top dollar, but you're conveniently located in the heart of Wilmington within a couple minutes of everything, and the property itself is well worth it.

McKenzie our new assistant manager is the sweetest, nicest kindest person there is as I get to know her more. I love her just as much, we've lived at three Hawthorne residential partner properties. The first was at Hawthorne at the station hats. We lived in Greensboro North Carolina for over 30 years. My son graduated from Raleigh North Carolina. We lived in Cary and I decided to retire from Nursing after 30 years and we moved to Hawthorne as a station with ever seeing the apartment, but just talking to the staff and when we got there, we were so excited we were living on the courtyard and a beautiful two bedroom two bath apartment. I met so many friends, the amenities Are unbelievable we had food trucks we had catering we cooked breakfast for the residences maybe once a month we had potluck dinner as we played bingo. If you ever get a chance live at Hawthorne at the station do it. Enjoy bagels and pastries every Saturday morning but hurry, cause they go fast we now live at Hawthorne at Oleander and we lived at Hawthorne at friendly in Greensboro While we were waiting to get into Hawthorne at Oleander, they stayed in touch with me here for six months before we moved in. They even invited us down for all the meals that the surrounding restaurants brought them food and they were just in the process of building when we got here we were some of the very first and were greeted with open arms And we left everyone here summer gone and we love them deeply. We feel so secure here welcomed here and wanted here we have the best gym, a fantastic salt, water pool. We have amenities like the Christmas party last year and the Christmas party this year catered by Casey's buffet. It was so much fun and delicious and we're looking forward to next year And the year after we chose a smaller apartment here because there's just the two of us now and we love it it's like a little cottage inside. The elevator is right across from us you never hear a single bit of noise we have to be in the most quiet building there is, the maintenance man a great Tony and Dylan. The two greatest guys you're welcome into your home even if it wasn't for maintaining your unit, please come and visit us and let them know in the office that Darlene and Michael sent you. We have a beautiful clubhouse and a Starbucks coffee lounge. What more could you ask for? See you soon! ‍‍‍ Oh, and I forgot we're only minutes from the beach. How great is that?

If you enjoy predatory management practices with a failure to communicate, old, overpriced and…read morebug-infested units then Autumn Hall is the place for you. This complex is priced at the upper echelon of apartments in Wilmington, however the units are old and outdated masked by well-kept amenities and pretty landscaping as you drive in. On top of this, the management is predatory and fails to communicate effectively and sometimes even at all with their tenants. On day one living here we found over 15 German cockroaches that had completely infested the apartment. It was not in a clean condition and smelled of dirt/bugs as well. Management did respond by placing traps and apologizing, however we would go on to kill numerous roaches daily throughout the entirety of the lease. Our apartment was full of other bugs too like "rolly pollys", beetles, spiders and other insects until the winter cold hit. There were a few damages around the unit as well right when we moved in as well as an odor of dirt. Luckily we recorded these things or we would've been paying to replace them at the end of our lease. Perhaps the worst part of the experience is the communication from the office staff. As our lease neared our end date, I noticed high upcoming charges on our account statement. I reached out multiple times via email/phone calls and was completely ignored. After more than a week passed, I finally did some digging of my own and realized on the lease there is a required "60 days written notice" that you need to give before your lease end date or you are automatically enrolled on a monthly lease and your rent doubles. We were still 30 days out from our move-out date, but those days had already been added onto our lease at twice the rent rate. I instantly went in-person to deliver our notice so we wouldn't be charged for anything else and finally spoke to someone. They offered no apology, possible resolutions and a bare minimum explanation of the situation. The "notice" they had given had come months prior in an email similar to ones that are sent weekly with a misleading subject line containing one sentence at the bottom explaining what would happen. This entire ordeal was an extremely predatory way to make thousands of extra money off of us and the lack of communication was the biggest issue here only proving that. I understand the notice is in the lease, but as a property manager it is your responsibility to respond to your tenants and communicate to them- it is the bare minimum. Following this incident, I again followed up via email/phone calls politely asking if there was anything that could be done. I was again ignored for over a week until one of the property managers finally mustered up the confidence to write a short, AI-generated email response back to me. If you are going to take extra thousands from your tenants at least have the decency to return a phone call and have a conversation. As I write this I am still being ignored while asking about the process to receive our deposit. Communication and a clean living space are the bare minimum tasks- Headwaters cannot provide either. Do not live here unless you enjoy overpaying for an outdated, bug infested apartment that has an office staff that is scared to communicate with their tenants.

I have found this to be the ideal place to call home, tucked away but yet close to everything including Wrightsville beach, shopping and downtown Wilmington.

It makes such a difference having wonderful leadership at the helm of any ship, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff - first with Hannah, Meagan and Emily, and now with Patrick and Haley following in their footsteps. This community is so lucky to have Mike as the kind, competent, hardworking head of maintenance. The collective staff has always gone out of their way to make this community feel like home to the residents. Whenever we have faced an issue with our apartment, the staff has exceeded our expectations in leadership, communication, kindness, expediency and follow-through. My boyfriend and I moved here temporarily after being displaced by water damage a year and a half ago. Downsizing from a 3BR home into a 1BR apartment took some getting used to, but we have fallen in love with Arbor Trace and we've decided to hit pause on building a new home for the time being. I don't think there's a more beautiful community in Wilmington, thanks to the preservation of the large Live Oaks throughout Arbor Trace, which are illuminated at night. We couldn't ask for a more perfect location, as it's just 10 minutes to downtown and 15 minutes to Carolina Beach. It's a kind and quiet community, filled with a diverse community of happy dogs and their owners. We attended the recent fall festival thrown by Patrick and Haley. They went above and beyond to make it a fun, creative day for the residents by providing free pizza, snow cones, Haley's special cheese fondue, caramel apple bar and live music. Patrick arranged for a professional photographer to take a free photo for each resident. After 18 years together, my boyfriend and I have our 1st professional photo, thanks to the beautiful eye of Savannah brown, (savbrownphotography.com). We couldn't be more grateful for our time living here at Arbor Trace.

When the units above me ran hot water, it would cause a contraction / loud banging noise inside the pipe in master bathroom wall. It woke me up early and really disrupted me. Management was good with responding and trying to diagnose the issue. Even opened up the drywall to see what was going on. Unfortunately there was no remedy for the issue. Everything had been installed up to code and there was literally nothing that could be done so I just had to deal with it. The walls are thin, I recommend getting a top floor unit and being courteous to those below you. The Cobu community app was kind of a joke. Can't really say or complain about anything that makes the complex look bad or they take it down. Neighbors were nice. Lots of complaints about people not cleaning up after their dogs, missing mail/packages and a lot of sketchy characters / attempted car break ins in the complex. Apparently there's security that drives through but never saw them once. A little pricy but overall it was a decent place to live for my first year in NC.
