The Residences at Wakefield Apartments

I moved to The Residences from another community in Wake Forest about a month ago. I love it here. The apartments are large and bright and mine has a wrap around verandah. The unit includes a garage at no additional cost. The new management team is doing a great job. They are friendly and responsive. Hoping to call The Residences home for a long while to come.

The parking issue is absolutely ridiculous. They painted NO PARKING yellow lines all over the apartment complex for absolutely no reason, and will tow your car for no reason. There is virtually no guest parking and they just tell you to park on the street outside the complex, and if you live in the back of the complex it’s about a 10 - 15 minute walk.
I understand protecting driveways and reserved spaces, but there is absolutely no reason for the yellow lines EVERYWHERE.

Gym has been “under... construction” for months now and the tennis court is non functioning. Not sure why we are still paying for “luxury amenities” when they aren’t available. Read More

This is a great place to live. The grounds are kept very nice and the apartment is very nice. The staff, especially Meredith, have been wonderful and very helpful. I know they I have any questions or concerns, I can talk to them and know that and it will be take fill be fixed. Good place to live

Avoid this place at all costs!! After 2.5 months of living here, we are finally able to break our lease and leave after countless issues… let’s start with a messy disgusting unit when arriving, we were assured it was cleaned moving in, it was extremely far from it. We had broken appliances moving in that took maintenance 3 weeks and some over a month to fix. We had our kitchen flood only 3 days into living here due to horrible plumbing. Weve had cockroach’s with pest control not doing a thing... about it. The “Great” amenities this place offers… well not a single one is open or functioning. They “luxury” renovations look like a 5 year old did them with 0 experience, not kidding, someone with no experience could have made these units look better. The icing on the cake was when we had our upstairs neighbor overflow the toilet, not clean it up, causing our bathroom to have raw sewage leak from the ceiling and ruin our personal property… then management doesn’t want to help us in the slightest. Our apartment smelled of raw sewage and the management team wasn’t even willing to work with us on finding a comfortable place to sleep for our family and ignored our emails and phone calls for help. There is more and more to our story that a review can’t even contain…. But DO NOT live here!!!!! Read More

My apartment is lovely. The ladies in management, Jessica and Amber, have been so helpful in my settling into a new city as well as a new apartment. Chuck and his crew are professional and courteous which makes a huge difference when things need service in a rental community. So pleased to have found Residences at Wakefield.
