Overall nice
Lot of dogs, be prepared for that. Cute dog park near water with a variety of cool birds like egrets, herons, ducks, geese, yellow-bellied sliders, tadpoles/frogs, pink dragonflies, and more. I wish my neighbors cared more to commit to not polluting to protect this adorable little ecosystem.
Don't leave your car windows down or doors unlocked. No cameras in lot that I can see to discourage theft and violence, but I rarely feel unsafe. Parking can be tight sometimes since there's no limit on... visitor parking or any sort of parking decals/spaces. I do appreciate that they're not quick to tow.
Maintenance is responsive, kind, and great with upkeep of walkways. They're hard workers and very professional.
Office staff very friendly to me and my dog even when I'm late with rent. We stop in for tea and dog treats often.
Kind of pricey but all-inclusive utilities with good amenities. I wish there was a way to pay rent that didn't cost fifty dollars a transaction online (which, along with pet rent, would add a hundred dollars to my rent every month) or cause me to rely on walmart's money center.
Very useful bus stop for UNCW students. Barely useful for workers commute depending on where you work and what hours.
Compared to places with oft-broken a/c and unresponsive maintenance staff and unfriendly office workers, I do feel lucky to live here.
