Good, Inexpensive Living
by cakes404
I have lived in this neighborhood for 2.5 years. The few times we have had issues with our townhouse, management has had repairs done within a day. You get a lot of space for what you pay in rent and the amenities (although a little bit older) are nice and well cared for. We have had a great experience living here so far as it is a great location and easy/quick to get anywhere! My ONLY complaint is that it is definitly a little bit dark in our home, but I guess thats what lamps are for!
- Pros: Low Rent/some util included, fast repairs
- Cons: dark interior
A Great Place to Live, Close to everything!

Easy Transition, Fast Maintenance

By reading other's comments, they must just be generally unhappy and ungrateful people. Our experience moving to Castlewood Townhouses was exceptional, 50x's better than where we moved from. The staff was friendly and efficient, we got our keys and noticed a few things that needed fixed. We notified the office of these things and within 1 hour the maintenance crew had them all fixed. We have visited with two other tenants here and they were just as pleased with maintenance. One tenant had a flood from the water heater at 6:30am and had it fixed, cleaned, and carpet replaced within a couple of hours.
There is only one office staff member that could be considered unfriendly, but who cares? Did these other commentators grow up in a sheltered little bubble? I suppose people by nature want to complain about everything, but for my wife and me, moving to Castlewood has been a great experience.
- Pros: Good Maintenance, Affordable, Good Neighbors
- Cons: Not the utmost in luxury, but great for the price.
Worst Move Ever
by cl8980
To begin w/ the office staff was rude from the moment I walked threw the door. I signed a lease and was given keys to my new place. To begin w/ the carpet was stained in multiple diffrent places w/ BRIGHT colors and smelled strongly of urine, the carpet didn't even reach the carpert runner, water damage in the living room cealing, the toilet downstairs rocks like a rockin chair and the bath tub was leaking. I went back to the office on a friday afternoon, I signed @ 3:30, and got the attitude of well that's to bad. I then went back to the new place where my new neighbor had a flood in there house because my water heater had been leaking. So the first weekend w/ NO hot water. The following Monday afternoon they decided to replace the carpet, but I had to move my furniture out into the street. This is only a nutshell of the GREAT experience w/ a management property that does NOT manage.
Bad News

Staff tends to be rude and unprofessional. Apt dirty when moved in, cabinet doors falling off, appliances didnt work, electrical outlets didnt work, plumbing didn't work, doors wouldnt close, all got repaired but a/c broke 6 times in 1 year, and still waiting for the new one as promised. Just not worth the hassle.
- Pros: affordable rent
- Cons: poor maintenance/management
