Alex was a great help getting all lined up with our paperwork. And the the maintenance guy, Bert, freaking awesome. Complex will be many more buildings once completed. Great soon for Boone as it ends by the unit not the bed!

Just stay in contact with him via phone or email when you need something and he'll take care of it as best he can. Wave at him when he's mowing or out in the yard - he's a nice guy!! The property itself (I stayed in New River Farms near the mall for two years) are fair for their price. My roommates and I each paid $475 a month for a four bedroom two bathroom unit. Utilities are all-inclusive except internet and cable, which you can easily call and set up yourself with any of the local Boone providers. There was a small kitchen, dining, space, and washer and dryer. My favorite part about NRF was that I could paint our unit. I hate living in stark white spaces and George was more than happy to let me paint. Complaints I have are small. The kitchen is really tiny, so when three or four people are in there moving around and cooking, it can get hectic and cramped. Neighbors are alright most of the time. When parties get thrown, everybody is pretty nice about getting to bed by 1:00 or 2:00. The only negative is the trash that sometimes gets left around on the porches and in the parking lot. Mail was easy. Trash and recycling was easy. And the location was really hard to beat for the price. Close to the mall, bus lines, and Walmart. Just make sure you pick good roommates to live with and pick up after yourself!

I would advise anyone considering having their ASU student moving here to look closely at the total…read morecost of living, not just the base rent. The management adds ridiculous hidden fees and monthly 'convenience' and fees that were not clearly emphasized during the tour. Most notably, they charge a staggering $46 fee just to pay rent with a credit card. It feels like a constant cash grab rather than a service. Renters beware: the price you see is definitely not the price you will pay.

They are awesome and we are very thankful to have found such a great community. Regarding the review below me... our AC units work perfectly, and they inspected our heaters before it got cold out. Also, you have washer/dryer hookups in your apt, so I think it's great that they even have a laundromat on site. I've lived in places that had mice, absolutely no heat, way more expensive or had way stricter rules.... so as far as Boone goes, this place is an oasis.

Worst managed apartments that I have ever lived at. The A/C freezes up regularly and the heat and…read moreA/C do not circulate very well. The parking is terrible. Visitor parking is not clearly label and has caused several friends to be booted/towed. They will charge you $50 if you lose your parking pass or buy a new vehicle and forget the old one. The laundry facility is horribly outdated. I spent $15 in quarters washing 3 loads of clothes. Half of the machines took my money and then completely stopped working midway into the cycle. The washing machines are TINY! Don't expect to get any sleep on the weekends because maintenance regularly mows or trims trees at 7am and the walls are thin. After four years attending ASU I strongly suggest you to seek other accommodations while staying in Boone, NC.

I left towels on a porch to dry because it had been a week and maintenance still hadn't fixed our drier and he fined me $40 for it. Parking is awful. We've also been fined for having 3 plants on our porch, apparently you can only have one. The majority of the staff is super rude. They do not accommodate anybody for any reason whatsoever. All they want is your money and do not care about you at all. The place has its perks with the bus system but that's about it. I do not recommend living here at all.

I usually don't write reviews but I figured I would at least add some perspective to some of the…read morethings I, friends, neighbors, and roommates have experienced over the years living in a Winkler property. First of all, maintenance is hardly on top of things. They will "fix" things in the most half-assed way that often leads to even bigger, more complicated issues later down in your lease period. In some cases, resulting in actual damage done to your personal property. Reaching out to management about concerns is a hit or miss. If the issue is too complex, or doesn't seem "worth their time", they will just tell you what you want to hear, rather than actually solving any issues. The building I and my roommates live at have a major support beam that is crumpling, cracking, and chipping apart, I've brought this up multiple times and nothing gets done about it, which is concerning knowing it's a code violation. I've never seen an organization care so little in properly maintaining their buildings, as improper structural integrity is something a lot of people I know specifically seem to have an issue with at other properties. Secondly, and as stated in numerous reviews already, housekeeping is a huge let down. Countless times where housekeeping has left and there has been ZERO change in the cleanliness of the apartment. When they do end up cleaning, I, and others have noticed them use my personal cleaning supplies even though this service is included in my rent. You can try to opt-out of housekeeping but it doesn't make a difference. Your privacy will be invaded on a regular basis in ANY Winkler property, and for no actual benefit. Multiple times they've walked in on us during vulnerable times, without ever knocking or announcing themselves prior. My roommates have been outright disgusted by it along with some of my neighbors given their experiences too. Overall, leasing with Winkler has been an uphill battle, and I've noticed it's been increasingly difficult to find a lease transfer because these issues seem to be pretty well known within the Boone community in general. I recommend others like Holton or BHCR. Yes, they aren't perfect either, but honestly I'd rather deal with a lot of their "issues" than what I, and others I know have dealt with being a part of this organization specifically. Rent prices are NOT justified. You have been warned.

Fulton Lovin, who runs this business among others in town (Horton Hotels and White Fence Farms), is…read morean unprofessional, cheap, and negligent landlord. He deserves way more bad press than he's gotten. You can recognize his properties around Boone by how much they resemble haunted houses, with overgrown trees that help to make his properties musty and moldy. The properties themselves are located close to town, which I think he uses as a bargaining chip to get away with what terrible condition they are in. There are way better landlords out there, trust me. So keep looking. The reason I moved into one of his properties was for the location, and it also seemed to be in better condition than many of his other options. Still, on move-in day, there was: a hole in the living room wall caused by water damage from a leaking window, no baseboards, ceiling paint that was cracked and shedding onto the floor, dark lines on the ceiling that indicated moisture issues at some point, a broken ceiling fan and many windows that did not open or close. Some of this was fixed during the first few weeks of living there, but they wouldn't allow the apartment to be tenantless for long enough to take care of these issues before I was charged rent. The maintenance guy was overworked and unavailable much of the time due to the fact that the landlord also had him working at Horton Hotels. Simply put, I don't trust Fulton and you shouldn't either. If you rent from him, expect him to take advantage of you whenever possible and act as if he 100% has a right to do so.

Mold infested, floors warped and cracked, holes in walls (all upon MOVING IN) all that went unfixed while i lived in the property, because the landlord refused. There is only one maintenance person (who is the most professional and hardworking person in the company, no doubt) and he does not receive the support he needs to properly care for these properties. I lived in these properties as both a student and young professional and i have never felt more disrespected as a tenant.
