Autumn Woods

I have resided at Autumn Woods for 6 months, and it is by far the best apartment complex thus far. The units are spacious, and all have different views depending on preference.
The pool and workout room are always clean, and I have never felt over crowded.
Last, if I have a concern, or question, the office staff is always welcoming and ready to assist me.
I recommend Autumn Woods unequivocally.

FYI — the older reviews (prior to 2012) are for when Autumn Woods was under prior management. (The previous management company was amazing and nice and the utilities were way less.)
CONS:
**A few years ago, a new management company (The Connor Group) bought the complex and since then customer service has plummeted and utility costs have sky rocketed. For instance, trash was $ 5 under previous management and is now $ 25 a month.
**They sometimes change the utility fees mid-​lease: For instance, the last $ 5 increase to the «fixed» monthly trash fee increased in the middle of people’s lease terms.
**Pet fees require a one-​time non-​refundable deposit AND a monthly fee.
**The monthly pet fee recently increased to $ 35/​month.
**Car policy: Cars with any external damage (i.e. dented bumper, rust, paint discoloration, missing hubcaps, etc.) will be towed unless you cover your car with a car-​cover or rent a garage from them. The lease gives them permission to do this, so get your car fixed before living here.
**Rent increases by over $ 100/​month each time I renew with them.
PROS:
**The apartments themselves are quite nice, fairly quiet, and the grounds are nicely kept.
**The maintenance staff are super friendly and prompt at fixing things in your apartment.
**There are multiple bus routes that take you to UNC easily.

I haven’t lived here but I do know families that do and have been impressed when I’ve come by. It always seems pretty quiet and very well taken care of. Definitely not a party scene and one of the nicer Carrboro apartments. Its well appointed, looks new and people generally seem happy with it. If I had to do apartment living I would definitely check this out.
Some of our friends live there when moving to the area while they are waiting for a house to sell back home and/​or are trying to figure out which neighborhood to buy. I always see people with strollers walking by in this area. Seems like a nice family oriented complex.

We’ve lived here for 6 months now and now I’m sure we made the right choice. The apartment complex is safe and quiet, well-​maintained and just a pleasant place to live. The management is very responsive and friendly, as are the maintenence guys (who helped me with fixes that were not really their responsibility).
Our two-​bedroom apartment was in a very good condition when we moved in; it has a fireplace (not sure if it’s standard in all units) and a good size bathroom. The place is rather far from where we work (Durham), but it’s located in such a nice area and so reasonably-​priced, that we don’t mind the commute.

I lived here in a 3-​bedroom the last two years of my undergraduate career. We picked Carrboro as it was cheaper rent than Chapel Hill. And this complex definitely felt safer and nicer than other Carrboro locations we looked at.
The residents are mostly graduate students with young couples and families mixed in. It makes for a quiet and neighborly atmosphere. Things might have changed since I lived there, but I remember the units being newish with nice appliances (and even a mini TV in the kitchen!). The pool is open year-​round (not heated, but kept up during the winter for looks). It’s located on two bus-​lines (not the most frequent-​running for campus, but convenient enough that you could get to and from class without trouble).
