SCAMMERS AND THIEVES…read more I've always tried to find the positive of every living situation I am in. The only positive of this complex is the view of the lake. I have never been treated so poorly in a place that I have paid to be. I have a scar on my leg that came about while trying to move maintenance equipment away from my front door so that I can exit my apartment. The equipment in question was a ladder and HVAC ducts from our apartment that were being fixing...but were left, for 3 hours, and only returned after we called the office to ask when they would finish fixing our air conditioning...while it was over 90 degrees outside... I lived with a barely operational toilet (the plumbing is terrible), and the only assistance I got was being taught how to "correctly" use a plunger until finally admitting that there was an issue with the tank. Also, hot water was a commodity that was difficult to come by...after 10 minutes in the shower the water ran cold. I resorted to taking baths to retain as much hot water as possible. The office staff provided inadequate maps and information on apartments when asked. They were unaware of which breeds were acceptable in the complex, which led to issues with a possible pet adoption. The maintenance staff are self-admittedly "lazy" (an apt description) and rude. The office staff are ill trained on policy or procedure, and often possess the attitude of a person that couldn't care less if problems are solved as long as it doesn't negatively affect them. The property management will see nothing but dollar signs when they are near you, and will do everything in their power to charge you with every fee imaginable. No security deposit is safe from these creative swindlers. My roommate and I were excited to move out. The move out process felt like a shake-down at best. We were told contradicting information from staff and management, we had to pay cleaning and painting fees (after cleaning and painting the apartment), and were charged a "carpet probate fee" that essentially charged us around $14 a month to use the carpet and contribute to replacing it due to it being "very worn and matted". No mention of stains, tears, or any other damage besides normal wear and tear. We were treated poorly during the move out evaluation...with the property management attempting to intimidate my roommate and I at every turn. What was most upsetting is that the staff attempted to imply we were being unreasonable by resisting the additional fees by saying "We are only doing our job". However...when we paid rent for over a year, where were they then? Why didn't they do their jobs when we needed them? The answer is simple...they wanted to help themselves to our money more than they wanted to help us.

So we received our notice to vacate, and at this point I'm over it. I will gladly leave. However, now they are telling me that we are obligated to pay the rent until someone else rents the unit, or until our lease runs out?!?!? They are the ones terminating the lease, not us!... How are we going to be able to afford rent for two places from September till December??? This place is terrible, the maintenance staff takes days to service any request, field mice are constancy finding there ways in to our apartment. There are little black ants that never go away, and now we are being asked to leave but still pay in full for the next 4 months if no one occupies the unit?

We really like the fact that they have a service department that is separate from the main office to call. They have been excellent in coming to fix any problems we have had with the apartment. If you are looking for space and affordability then you have found it. We have a 2 bedroom and they are probably the biggest bedrooms you will find in the area (yes! Even our spare bedroom has plenty of space). The updates are also very nice, we have the cherrywood and always get compliments when we have visitors. Alright so here are the cons which is why I didn't give the full 5 stars. Parking- in my court there are many neighbors who Have more than one car. The issue is not how many cars they have but instead, they only utilize one out of the 3 cars! It makes it very frustrating when I have to park on the street knowing that there are cars not being driven that can park further away. And yes even a person that doesn't live here could easily notice that they have not moved. I have seen then go crank them up but not move them. Neighbors/Security company - This is not my first rodeo with apartments so while some noise is expected Living on the first of 2 floors, some noises are just too much ESPECIALLY when you can hear your neighbors yelling at his video game at 2:30 in the morning. I called the security company (GARDUS) and the guy seemed so concerned but never came. The first time I called the security company at around the same time, they didn't even answer so maybe Thalia should think about switching firms. Other than that I'd highly Recommend these apartments to anyone. If you are looking for space and affordability/location, these are it! Thalia if you read this message I'd like to give a shoutout to the guy who goes around picking up the trash. He goes above and beyond, to pick up all the trash even the overflow around the dumpster because people are too lazy to just go to the dumpster less than 100 years away. KUDOS!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, my experience living at this property has been…read moreextremely disappointing and unprofessional from start to finish. The maintenance response is unacceptable. I have had a visible water leak in my ceiling for over five months, and despite submitting maintenance requests, no one has come to inspect or repair the issue. Even worse, the requests are repeatedly marked as "resolved" when no action has been taken. This raises serious concerns about potential mold growth, which is a major health and safety issue. Ignoring a problem of this nature is not only irresponsible but unsafe for tenants. The management office has also been very discouraging to deal with. The staff is consistently rude and dismissive, and it becomes clear that once the lease is signed, tenant concerns are no longer treated with respect or urgency. Communication is poor, and there is a clear lack of accountability when issues are reported. Safety is another major concern. There appears to be little to no concern regarding cars being broken into on the property. These incidents are not addressed in a way that makes residents feel secure or supported, which is extremely troubling. Additionally, the heating system does not work properly. This is a basic necessity, and failure to provide reliable heat makes the living conditions even more unacceptable. While S.L. Nusbaum Realty Co. may manage other properties well, this particular location is severely mismanaged. The lack of follow-through, disregard for tenant safety, and failure to maintain habitable living conditions have made this a very negative experience. I will not be renewing my lease, nor would I recommend this property to anyone. I am very disappointed and strongly urge prospective tenants to consider these issues before signing a lease.

Today my mom and I were supposedly served a notice of non-renewal. This letter is a product of…read moreincompetence and a lack of accountability by a corporation that has always cared about the bottom dollar in opposition to residential satisfaction. For over 20 years I have lived in apartments across VA. My mom has 20+ years in addition to me. We have barely even been acquainted with the offices of most apartments in which we've resided, both together and separately, but still maintained amicable enough relations to comfortably coexist with one another. My mom is a hardworking, kind-spirited, loyal, prideful and spiritual woman deserving of all of her flowers. A crooked head manager hiding behind her arrogance and complacent minions in the front office are no testament to my mom's character. We have spent 3 years exhaustively reaching out to resolve residential conflict that we pay INCREASED RENT IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC to have addressed. Instead of conflict resolution or even visiting our unit experiencing problems ongoing, my emails were literally counted (as if emailing residential management about residential conflict/their breaches of lease is a crime) and ignored. The manager gaslit my mental health to a courtesy officer that she sent to my home after ONE single phone call pleading to diffuse neighborly conflict I had withstood for over 2 years prior to finally calling in. The officer literally heard me out and understood where I was coming from, he was kind and attentive to the issues that were still left unresolved by management after he left. To save face, they assured him that they would get to the bottom of everything and continue to fake reviews and sugarcoat testimonials on their website. My current upstairs neighbors were allowed to freely harass my mom with their noise and then send a fire marshall to our home after making a false claim that "she thought our residence was catching fire." We have about 4 smoke alarms, regularly tested, that uttered not a single sound. The aforementioned neighbors have had a problem with the poor insulation I have LONG complained about on a regular basis for 3 years. Now I have a crazed woman fighting my ceiling, surveying my movement and calling the fire department because they can hear the plumbing and the air ducts through the walls. Management has ignored any provisions to their units and any valid criticisms from residence who overpay their meal tickets and for the first time in over 5 decades between my mom and I living in apartments, we are being threatened to leave. We are entitled to our rent refunded for the emotional distress and breach of ordinances that apartment management and residents alike have inflicted upon us considerably during our stay. My grandfather, the finest of gentleman and twice-survived Vietnam veteran who raised me to be a resilient but loving woman, just died on me. I spent every year I've lived here taking care of both my grandparents while my mom worked to take care of us all and still had to deal with the backwash of issues that the apartment management to whom we pay rent should have handled. Do not move here under any circumstance. Your money and your mental health will be siphoned without a second thought. The management is sheer evil.

This place is okay. They absolutely know NOTIHING about rent though. My two biggest issues with…read morethem were over rent. I like that they offer discounts to teachers but I'm not sure that it is worth it given all the problems I had. I had several problems over the two years I was a tenant here. Great area to live in but saftey wise, there are some question marks and the office did virtually nothing about those safety issues. The office staff is typically very nice about the problems but seriously NONE of them understand math or basic service. When I first moved in there were issues with my move in date, the office asked if we could move it by one day, because the carpet cleaners "couldn't make it" the day before I was supposed to move in and they couldn't let me move in until the carpets were cleaned. We agreed said okay that's fine, the next day I got the keys and opened the door to find, the carpet cleaners there. The office did offer a credit for us for that but it wasn't a great alternative as my family and I were there for another two-three days than we expected. I had to continually put in a request to get my windows in my apartment fixed, because they wouldn't open. Maintenance would come in and claim to fix them but never actually did. The office and the complex did not actually make maintenance properly fix them until I pointed out that it was a violation of fire code. Maintenance showed up the next day with the maintenance manager who commented on the fact that the windows not opening was a fire code issue. The major issue of all the issues I had here, was related to rent, and rent renewal. The first year I was there for a rent renewal they had a different system that did not allow you to look up the amount you were going to owe BEFORE the 1st of the month. Rent was due strictly on the 3rd of the month. I knew I would be out of town on the 1st so I went into the office to get the rent number BEFORE I left town. This was 2 WEEKS before rent was due. Once the beginning of the month came around, I was out of the state, and received a late rent notice. They caused a major issue and the office blamed it on ME, this also meant they hit my credit as a renter as well as a late rent fee, when it was their office staff who could not give me the correct number for rent. I had to speak to the property manager to get everything sorted because the office ladies were not wiling to remove the late rent fee or to remove the hit to my creditability as a renter. Keep in mind they had the check for over 2 WEEKS BEFORE this situation even happened. They could have checked it and chose not too. What's even better, they did all of this and caused such an issue over a $5 difference in rent. Then tried to play off this experience when I went in the following year for another rent renewal. The next time I had to go in for rent renewal, They had a new rent renewal date. the previous year, rent renewals went into affect on the 1st of July. This year they told me "Oh not we didn't do that last year and it doesn't go into affect until your move in date." I was told I would have a prorated amount because they did not have July 31st as an official move-in date on their property. If you see from my previous statement, that date occurred because of THIER mistake with the carpet. The math for this was not adding up but the ladies in the office walked me through it several times. When I finally paid the prorate amount and the rent renewal amount, I revied the prorated amount back from the office. I went in to ask about it and a different person in the office stated, "well we don't prorate for anyone so I am not sure who told you this". When I gave them the name of the person who told me it would be prorated, they said, "well she was recently promoted and if she told you we prorate then I guess she is right." I gave up and cashed the the check and moved on. I moved out about 6 months later.
