Williamsburg Townhomes Rental Homes

This place COULD be great. The town home apartments are not insulated, so be prepared for high bills– summer and wintertime. The maintenance requests take about one month for attention… if you get any. The prices are way too high for the size of place you get, but they allow dogs of any size and more than one, so I guess they figure they can overcharge. The fitness center is always full, so get your own local gym membership. In the summer, the pool was crowded with frat boys. They do accept your packages, which is a nice plus– but good luck catching someone in the office to pick them up. The kitchens have no windows and are about as big as a dive bar bathroom. And when you move out, forget about getting your deposit back. They choose nickel and dime items to wind up keeping your money.
The only bright spot is the property management girls, but most of them don’t live onsite, so go figure.

Williamsburg Townhomes are in an absolutely gorgeous area. My husband and I moved here from California and were shocked at just how pretty this area is. Because we were from out of state, apartment living just made sense until we could scope out exactly where we wanted to live, and Williamsburg’s flexible lease terms (you can choose month-​to-​month on up to 15 month leases) were ideal. We chose 8 months. Williamsburg also allows dogs, which is huge, because we have two big labs.
Everyone in the front office is always really nice, and the maintenance staff is just stellar. They love our dogs and always come up to pet them when we are out walking them. That’s huge for us. Sure, it takes awhile to get requests in sometimes, but you just have to look at how many apartments are in the complex to understand why. I’m sure they are incredibly busy.
There is a smaller pool right in the complex (which people are in all the time in the summer; they obviously don’t have a problem with it), and you have access to the neighboring complex’s outdoor and indoor pool, fishing pond, etc. They have events all the time, like a clam bake we were able to attend for free because Williamsburg purchased a certain number of tickets for their residents.
To summarize-​its a townhouse complex. You will have neighbors, and some might be loud. (Not our experience though; its been amazingly quiet!) You will live in a home that many other people have lived in before you and some things will be in disrepair. This is what you sign up for with apartment living. The only reason we are leaving is because our dogs need a yard and we need to be closer to our jobs.
Very much recommended, especially if you have dogs!
