New River Farms Apartments

George Winkler is a fair, down-​to-​earth landlord who appreciates his tenants. He’s very accommodating in terms of maintenance repairs, roommate problems, bringing in pets, and family emergencies. 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!
