Sterling Magnolia Apartments

I have lived in Sterling Magnolia for almost 5 consecutive leases. I’ve been completely pleased with every aspect of my experience. The apartments are spacious, the amenities (including covered parking and controlled access) are top notch, and I’ve always been able to get in touch with the leasing office with any needs. The community is mostly very quiet and the Cotswold location is central to pretty much everything in town. I am hoping to re-​sign with Sterling for at least one more year! My only suggestion would be to do some aesthetic upgrades on kitchen appliances but that’s truly the least of my worries. I’ve recommended Sterling to at least 5 or 6 close friends who have all signed separate leases over the past few years!
If you’re looking for a professional, quiet, and friendly community then Sterling Magnolia is for you!

If I didn’t buy a house, these would be the only other option I would chose to live in. Every aspect of these apartments are ideal. I lived there for 2 years and could not think of one complaint – which is hard when leasing any place! The community is positive and quiet, maintenance immediately fixes anything, the staff is always polite, understanding, and helpful. The actual living space is a welcoming space with nearly sound proof walls and secure access. We will miss our apartment!

Love it here! The staff is nice and helpful. Maintenance is quick. Apartments are very nice and spacious. Neighborhood is quiet. It isn’t the cheapest but you get alot and look at where you are! Gym is usually empty so never a problem getting a machine. Pool great in the summer with the grills nearby. Elevators are very helpful when moving! Having a garage is awesome! which you dont find many places around.

I have lived at Sterling Magnolia Apartments for 5 months now and I honestly love it. I love how clean and quiet the buildings and the grounds are and how I feel safe with the controlled access and parking deck. I currently have a one bedroom apartment, which is very spacious… even the standard units without any upgrades feel above par. With the quiet buildings, great location, well kept landscaping, social events, and being very pet friendly, I have to say the staff is the best perk. Whether it has been dealing with a maintenance issue, packages, or just being friendly and saying hello, my interaction with the staff has been nothing but pleasant. I’d recommend this community to anyone.

Sterling magnolia is the best! I’ve lived here for over a year now and have had no complaints. The apartments are very spacious and the buildings are quiet and safe. All of the employees are helpful and very friendly. I definitely recommend looking into living at sterling magnolia!

Constant problems since we moved in. We were not allowed to view the actual unit we were moving into beforehand, which should have been a red flag. The AC was broken upon move-​in, which meant we had to move all our belongings in 90 degree summer heat. Fortunately, the maintenance guy is the only good thing about this place, and he had the AC running that night.
We noticed the morning after move-​in that the garage door to the parking level, which was right below the master bedroom window, makes A LOT of noise and goes up and down about 90 times between 6am and 9am. It literally sounded like an animal being slaughtered. This is something that should have been disclosed before the lease was signed, especially since we weren’t able to view the unit. We demanded a rent reduction or a move to another unit at the management’s expense. They offered a $ 100/​mo. rent reduction or they would move us to a comparable unit in another bldg on the side opposite the garage door. We accepted the second option.
In retrospect, we should’ve stayed in the first unit. The neighbors above us sound like a herd of elephants. I’m not an extremely noise-​sensitive person. It’s clear to me that the walls and floors/​ceilings in these apartments are extremely thin. You can actually hear the stomping of footsteps and wooden boards creaking and popping as the neighbors upstairs walk around.
From the outside, this looks like a nice place to live, but looks are deceiving. This place is not even close to being worth the outrageous price. Look elsewhere.

This isn’t a public pool, and this definitely isn’t a place to rent a car (sometimes I do wonder about the other Unilocalers out there), it’s the pool of the Sterling Magnolia apartment complex, and who would have known it deserves its own page.
I don’t live here, my sister does, but I do some visiting poolside with her from time to time. It’s the only pool in the complex, which is made of a good amount of buildings, so on the weekends the chairs fill up fairly quickly. (Apparently seat saving is allowed, so people just wake up at 9, throw a towel down, then go sleep the rest of their Friday night off until the sun is at it’s peak)
The pool itself is fairly plain, a decent size and fully lined with a few types of chairs. There’s a series of chairs under a spaced-​plank wooden overhang (the exact term for the structure escapes me) at the far end, so you’re kind of in the shade but not (I feel like it would only lead to odd tan lines). There is a shower, but last time I checked the water wasn’t switched on for it or the hose next to it. There’s also a grill and seating area near by.
The buildings near it are far enough away that they don’t cast any serious shadows into prime sunning areas (unlike my complex’s pool, where half the deck only gets sun for about an hour a day). Overall fairly quiet during the week and a nice place to catch some rays.
