    I stayed at Walden Ponds while completing my master's at the University of Lynchburg (2023-2025),…read moreand overall it was a great experience. The community is wonderful - I met so many friendly people, especially at the dog park with my pup, and I even still come back every other week for a ladies' Bible study despite living 30 minutes away now. A few things to note: one time someone did break into my car, but that was because I had left it unlocked overnight. They could improve safety by adding more lights around the area. My apartment needed some updating (it still had carpets), but the staff was friendly and responsive whenever I requested service. I didn't use the pool or exercise studio, so I can't comment on those. Despite the minor drawbacks, I would live here again if I were doing something similar. It was very affordable for what I was doing (~$1k rent per month). The sense of community and friendly staff made my time there enjoyable.

    On August 2, 2024 I moved into Walden Pond Apartments at 500 Weeping Willow Dr Apt L in Lynchburg,…read moreVA 24501. Over the course of 7 months, I became ill and experienced a psychotic episode, resulting in a "road rage" (aka "mold rage") incident on February 24, right outside the entrance to Walden Pond. I believe this was primarily due to my living at Waldon Pond. I will explain how this occurred. In order to complete the move-in inspection, I ran the rinse cycle of my dishwasher. After it failed to properly drain, I noticed black mold inside the dishwasher as well as black mold coating the drain pipe extending from the dishwasher. I also noticed that the dishwasher was improperly installed, as the drain pipe is supposed to be lifted before allowing the water to drain to prevent back-wash. The drain pipe was left on the ground, allowing the water to collect and remain in the pipe, contributing to the mold problem in this apartment. The following days, the apartment directly beneath my kitchen experienced a water leak inside of their wall and had the maintenance come and cut open the wall to repair it. When my inspection was complete, I reported the mold and dishwasher issue to the Sarah in management, explaining that I believed the water leak in the apartment beneath mine was a result of the dishwasher being run in my apartment. She told me that this was just a coincidence and was not related. When Nick from maintenance came to inspect the items on my move-in report, he told me to remediate the mold problem myself. He did something to make the dishwasher drain and he told me that it was properly installed, that that was how they installed dishwashers according to code back when it was installed. I informed him that I believed the leak in the wall beneath my kitchen was a result of the dishwasher being run and, again, was told it was not related, that it was just a coincidence. I was told to remediate the mold problem myself, as the mold was cleared from the interior of the dishwasher when it was run. During the winter, management required residences to keep their under-sink cabinets open during cold weather and to keep the heat on a minimum of 65 degrees at all times. By keeping the under-sink cabinet doors open at night, the mold was free to circulate throughout the apartment with the hot air blowing it constantly. We were also advised to remain indoors during snow days which also influenced residences to remain inside in the toxic stew being brewed. We had experienced two such snow storm in the weeks leading up to my breakdown. On February 24, 2025, I experienced a psychotic episode. My video went viral; look it up and see what I became as a result. My name is Nancy Campagnino. I have never been a violent person in my life. I was the complete opposite, always the helpful quiet one, never making waves and always following the rules. For something like this to happen, something big must have happened. I am now facing criminal charges due to this episode, which is what prompted me to test for toxic mold. I am also being viewed as mentally ill based on this event even though this was the only time in my life that I ever expressed these types of symptoms. My own mold test came back positive for several types of mold. I called a mold testing company but was told that the landlord would have to test and remediate. I informed Latasha in management about my beliefs but she ignored my statements. I was told that Jordan runs the management of this complex but she refused to test and refused to remediate. To add insult to injury, they have rented the same poisonous apartment to another tenant knowingly. It's like attempted intentional negligent homicide in the making, part two. I need to prove my case in court and they are refusing to provide me with the results of the mold test. Although I do have results that prove my case, I had hoped for something more official. I also cannot allow another person to be put through the same experience I was faced with as a result of living at Waldon Pond. If my apartment is that toxic, I imagine there are other apartments there as unhealthy at this location as well. A friend of mine also smelled a strong scent of gas when the heat was on but the monitor in my apartment did not detect anything. The carpet is also filled with some sort of powder preventing tenants from being able to successfully vacuum the carpet. All that happens is the vacuum becomes full of grey powder and causes an allergic reaction from inhaling it. I could not continue vacuuming the carpet due to this. I cannot, in good conscience, allow this apartment complex to continue to make tenants sick and then deny any responsibility. I am going to share this story with anyone who will listen and hopefully do something about it. I attempted to report this hazard to authorities at Lynchburg Social Services but they referred me to Lynchburg Code and Enforcement. At Code and Enforcement, I was told that toxic mold in

    I called to make an appointment to see if they had any openings but didn't receive a call back for…read moreover a week. I ended up just showing up to the leasing office one day. The apartment was ok but was just too small for my needs.

    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.
