Governors Point Apartments

I can’t help but echo many of the same sentiments expressed in the earlier reviews. The location is wonderful. Beautiful, peaceful and serene; that’s why it is such a shame this place is ran so poorly. Here are a select few on staff that are a joy to interact with. Barbara is great in the office, and there is a gentleman Mike who I could ALWAYS depend on anytime I needed something done in the apartment. Other than that, good luck having any of your issues tended to in a timely fashion, if at all. A part was ordered for my air conditioning two months ago, and I haven’t heard a word about it. Luckily we were able to put a band aid on the problem OURSELVES for the time being.
When we originally moved into these apartments, we thought we were signing a twelve month lease as we discussed, but come nine months later they were sending us a letter stating we had to renew. At that point we were already sick of the place, so we decided it was time to move on. My fiancé went to the office to let inform them we would rather not continue to live here, and they had the nerve to bully her into signing a new lease stating that we did not provide them enough notice. Not only that, but they also had the nerve to raise our rent another fifty dollars. This place is NOT worth the price of admission. It also states in our lease that everyday a maintenance issue goes in addressed, twenty five dollars would be taken off of your rent for each day that passes. In the twelve months that I have lift on this place, and of this MANY service requests that I have had to input multiple times, I have not seen a single credit. They fully expect you to hold up your end of this contract we’ve signed, but do absolutely nothing to hold up theirs. I am sincerely considering legal action at this point, not because of the money, but because at this point I am sick of this place treating it’s tenants like an after thought. And it’s not just us. I challenge anyone reading this to speak to some of th people who currently live here, and I bet you a majority of them will have very little positive to say.
And that trash compactor? Don’t even get me started about that trash compactor…
If you have ANY other options, I highly suggest against Governors point. It’s overpriced, poorly maintained and has no respect for the people who pay them way too much to live here.

I have lived in the Governors Point Community for a number of years. I moved here after experiencing life in one of the other Lake Lynn Communities. The buildings here are better maintained and have much newer appliances. At the other community the rugs were old and dirty, here they put in new rugs and repaint, so the apartment is fresh and clean when you move in. The floor plan is well laid out and spacious so it easy to fit your furniture into it. Whenever I had a maintenance issue, it was taken care of very quickly and was done to my complete satisfaction the first time. The Management staff works hard to make Governors Point, not just a place to stay, but a real home. The staff here treats you in a warm and friendly way, like you are part of a big family.
One of the things that drew me to Governors Point, was the easy accessibility to Lake Lynn Park. Which is a 75 acre lake with a paved path around it. Perfect for walkers and runners alike. You can also go fishing and boating in the lake. The complex also has a clean and well maintained outdoor pool, for cooling off on hot Carolina days.

At first, this was a decent property to stay in. After we moved out for a year, we decided to come back. The office staff was nice and remembered us. We then stayed 2.5 years here. The rent went from a good price to an okay price to this is too expensive for what you’re getting. Our a/​c did not work properly even after a service call was done. There were squirrels in my chimney that they said they’d get removed ina couple of days even though they could’ve gotten into my apt. My husband removed them using work gloves for our cats and mine safety. We had a leak in the roof that was causing mold on our ceiling and wall in our living room. They just came in and painted over the mold. Yuck! Stove was shitty and a burner didnt work and the oven part wouldn’t keep heat. Even after a service call and it still not working, they wouldn’t replace it. Overall, stay somewhere else… or beware

Great location is about the only positive thing about these apartments. The apartments are old, with doors and windows that don’t seal properly, windows that won’t open or won’t stay open, bad seals on sliding doors and screens allowing bugs and roaches inside. One night our cat was freaking out by the front door and upon investigation, a roach was chewing through the drywall by the door molding to get inside. We had several maintenance problems that were never addressed properly, including burners not working on our stove that never got fixed, leaks after heavy raid that led to mold growth in our living room, which they addressed by simply painting the wall. Months later the mold is back and other water spots are appearing. We used to like living here when the rent was cheaper and actually included trash service and water/​sewer, but I really can’t recommend living here with the current rates and the state of the buildings/​grounds.

The only reason to live here is b/​c you can be near Lake Lynn while saving money to live somewhere else. Office/​maintenance is unreliable. Apartments are not well maintained (windows/​doors don’t seal, bug problems). Cars hit in the parking lot is common. People smoking pot in the stairwells and elsewhere outside on property.
