Dirty not updated the bathroom toilets are some low to the floor a 2 year old can pee in it and not get a drop on the floor. Asked for new toilets and was told I should buy them and they will install. But if you clog the old toilet there will be a $50 charge to have them unclog it. A $50 charge if you have anything outside your door, a $50 charge if you don't clean up after your dog. A $50 charge if you don't put the right garbage in the dumpster. Charge for Water that is not based on usage, charge for internet, now they are even charging you to repaint the apartment after you leave. Ricky Tomlin is a money hungry scum that over charges for this shit hole and will not update anything!!! If I could rate this place a ZERO i would!!! Go somewhere else for your money!!! You wont regret it!!!

Update: Since writing this review and emailing management they've responded and called to see if…read morethey can fix anything. Most of my problems aren't things that could be fixed and they have flat out told me that they will not replace the stove and have no plans to so I've given up on that, but at least you feel that they really genuinely do care and want to accommodate you in whatever ways possible. Have called maintenance since then for a door that wouldn't latch and they have been incredibly quick. One of the greatest things about these apartments is they're very quick to respond and fix what needs to be fixed. Great for people who may not be too handy or have a lot of time to fix things yourself! UPDATE: Someone was cleaning the stove top while it was off and was shocked. Maintenance was called and claimed it was because we sprayed cleaner on the surface and that happens. Not only is this oven/stove an inconvenience it is dangerous but never mind that. It's our fault for spraying all purpose cleaner on it. Could be worse.... After living here for a few months I have mostly bad things to say. The ladies who work in the office are wonderful and one or two of the maintenance people as well. The apartment is a decent price for a two bedroom. If you live on the first floor you will have spiders galore as the windows are ancient and level with the ground making it very convenient for the bugs to get in. The appliances are ANCIENT at least in the unit I am in and they will not replaced unless they break and are unable to be fixed. The stove appears to be something my grandmother may have used when she was young. The oven takes 25+ minutes to heat up to 400 and the electric range is absolutely awful. The water has leaked from the apartment above into mine several times. The most annoying thing of all is the creaky floors in apartment above. I can hear every single footstep of people and pets. The only reason to live here would be because they allow pets and many apartments in the area don't. Unlike with the other two reviews I've never seen dog excrement anywhere in the grass. If you don't have a pet you may be better off somewhere else. This is my first apartment and I am a student with a small budget so it's okay for me but if you have a family and a busy life the issues you'll experience here are not worth it. (Love the gym and the pool though! Great amenities)

I've been here a couple of weeks now and here are my pros & cons:…read more Pros: 1. Maintenance will show up the same day if you file a work order early. 2. Love the grounds & trees. Gorgeous. 3. Cool little things in my apartment, like my kitchen is so cozy & cute, I love the layout and my patio. 4. Tons of room. TONS. I am in a 3 bed. 5. Close to EVERYTHING! I love having a fresh market so close! 6. Staff has been nothing but helpful & kind. Amber is the best! Grateful. Cons: 1. Literally mold everywhere. Everyyyyywhere. EVERYWHERE. Especially on the windows & showers. I'm having to bleach my entire apartment, front to top. Which sucks because I have cats & one of them has major skin issues. 2. Dust - laid on thick on top of my kitchen cabinets & tops of shower - so basically you'll have to do your own deep cleaning before you move in. 3. Neighbors can be super loud & rude (even during the day), kids running and screaming up and down the stairs sometimes for hours. 4. AC works overtime during the day. Doesn't usually get cooler than 78 in my apartment during the day. Bring fans. 5. The whole exterior of my building needs a refresh. Just a fresh coat of paint. 6. Trees desperately need to be trimmed, especially the ones in the parking lots that are over our cars. Lots of rotten branches. 7. Very VERY squeaky floors. I feel bad for my downstairs neighbors! I know the cons look scary, but once you get all your work done in your home things are so cozy & comfortable. Excited to see what unfolds in this community!

Apartments There are…read moresome options available to living in the Lynchburg area: Rent or buy. On the rent side, there are a variety of these apartment complexes in the area which offer pretty much one-stop-shopping: Fully equipped kitchens, pools, washer / dryer (extra charge unless you have our own), onsite laundromat, onsite gym, business office area and even a large theater you can use. Legacy does it pretty well. There are roughly three major sections, with maybe 8 buildings per section. The apartments are functional - there could have been some better thought on the layout, particularly on the living rooms where, depending on the size of the unit, you will have some odd wall space to put a TV against - so try to get some floor plans with measurements before moving Most units have as many bathrooms as bedrooms, which is nice. Units are clean, and the appliances are in working order. There is wall-to-all carpeting, so beware of that if you have allergies. Maintenance is very quick to respond when there is a problem, and the guys are great about getting things repaired. The place is pet friendly, which is nice but on the down side, there is a lot of dog-shit in the grass behind the buildings, particularly the further back in the complex you go. For every person that does "scoop" their pet poop, there are far too many who just let Fido blow it wherever. Nasty. I have dogs and have a pair of shoes I wear that never come into my apartment as I am constantly stepping in shit. I realize that this is not exactly the fault of the complex, and to be fair, there are plenty of dog poop disposal stations and bags available, but they could try to enforce the picking up part. On the plus side, there is a small dog run onsite- great for small to medium sized doggies, not very good for the larger breeds. There is one centralized garbage dumpster in roughly the middle of the complex- so the folks in outlying buildings have to walk or drive their trash over to the dumpster - this can be a messy situation plus it is inconvenient to say the least. There was recently a snow storm and it was a complete fail on the part of the complex to clean the parking areas. They did a few attempts at a plowing but that was all it was, and they never bothered to plow after everyone went to work on the Monday, which would have been the best time for that. Granted snow is rare in the area, which to me, is even more of a reason why you need to clean it as they do not know how to drive in it. The location is pretty convenient to everything. The entrance is a bit of a boondoggle though as you have to turn in over busy Timberlake road and the turn lane is a crazy hill / curve with plenty of blind spots. Be extremely careful there. Overall though it is a solid place. Prices are a little on the high side for the area, but in line with all of the other similar complexes. Finally, the folks in the office run from full on awesome to just ok. Heather is the manager and she is probably your best bet there. Give it a shot - definitely a good place, especially if you are only in the area for a short time.

I can't believe we've been here 4 years and we're not ready to move again, or even looking any longer! My husband talks with the maintenance guys when he's walking the dog and we always find the office staff helpful and friendly. There are some great community-building activities that are put on, resident appreciation events, and community service opportunities. It's a great place! It's "affordable" - about the same as our previous home, which we owned. It's really lovely and we've been able to decorate and furnish just like we did in our house. I imagine if we want to get our security deposit back (should we decide to leave), we'll need to take the "furnishings" off the walls! We also rented a garage which comes with an external parking space as well so we always know where to park and we're leaving more space available for others. The pool was converted to a salt water pool two years ago and that's been really nice as I'm sensitive to chlorine gas. And it's cleaner!

My student will be moving in August, so this review is about the leasing staff/application process…read more- as most agents are, they were very friendly when we visited. We were drawn to the community b/c of the appearance, location and a special offering (3) months free rent. We mentioned that deal to the agent, along with the planned move-in date and she confirmed that it would be offered. My student and (2) others applied, were accepted, and my student called the agent to ask a couple of questions (we were in my car at the time so I heard the conversation). Again, the agent confirmed that the offer would be available for (3) months - upon receiving the lease to sign, we wanted to see that offer included on the lease, so we began what turned into a week-long attempt to contact (2) of the leasing staff (who added their phone numbers to the lease e-mail along the typical "please call with any questions"). Zero response to multiple e-mails and voicemails - I finally reached the original agent we spoke to when we visited and she was short and rude, explaining that the offer was only if move-in was by a certain date. I reminded her of our visit and the phone conversation with my student, and she denied both. I've read very good reviews about the complex in general and the management staff, so I'm hoping to write a better review in the future. I would encourage anyone going through the application process to demand everything outside the lease in writing - not much can be done about the ridiculous lack of communication, so, if possible, go in person.

We had countless issues while living here…read more On move in day we were given keys and told that they were pouring our parking lot for our building. There were 5-6 units all with movers using one stairwell. Our unit was on the opposite end of the building from the stairwell we had to use and the time was adding up quickly. We had to halt our movers, take over the uhaul agreement and move in on another day. The property manager later came by and said the fire marshall was doing final checks and to make it like we were in the unit yet. After living here a few months it didn't get better. We had banging pipes they had to cut holes in the wall to address, windows leaking and mold on most all the windows. They offered a dehumidifier to "address" the issue, but wouldn't do anything further. Supposedly a new company has taken over, but it's still the same build from the previous contractor and you couldn't pay me to live in these.

You could never get in touch with an actual human being via the phone, but had to submit everything via the portal. The ceilings/floors are paper thin and the clientele that is somehow managing to afford $1500 a month is a large number of inconsiderate students whose parents are likely paying for their way. Myself and other adult residents who chose his apartment complex chose it because we assumed it would be more middle-age individuals who had careers, but this would be a virtually impossible place to work out of it working from home due to the noise. Living on the bottom floor, you can constantly hear stomping, thumping, and all forms of shouting of the F bomb at all hours of the day and into the early morning hours. This is not just regular apartment living trials, it is a complete lack of guidance and screening by management. Also, all package deliveries have recently started being delivered to a common hallway at the front entrance where packages have been stolen and misplaced.
