Braxton Place Apartments

Too bad the intrusive, inconvenient renovations can’t fix the paper thin walls or poor air circulation to the lofts. It’s great if you enjoy listening to your neighbors engage in loud romantic relations (and their subsequent post-​activity pillow talk) while you slowly roast to death during the hot summer months.
Also, please realize that because you can hear all of your neighbors, they can certainly hear you; this apartment might best suit exhibitionists rather than private types who would prefer their next-​door neighbors not hear what’s going on in the bedroom… Realize that every end-​unit loft bedroom backs up to 3 bedrooms (1 catty-​corner) and every middle-​unit loft bedroom backs up 5 bedrooms (2 catty-​corner). Also a pleasure to wake up to your multiple neighbors’ assorted alarms going off in the morning.
When I moved to Braxton Place (formerly Sea Pines prior to the 2016 rebranding, if you’re looking for reviews on other sites) I appreciated the affordable price for a mediocre yet functional apartment. However, now that they’re jacking up the rent due to the ‘updates’ (i.e. painted cabinets, new siding, and cheap laminate in the kitchen, which I could honestly care less about) I’m probably going to find somewhere new when my lease is up.
I was pretty happy with management up until this reno. I’ve been disappointed by the handling of the entire construction process; clearly they care much more about increasing revenue than keeping their tenets happy and comfortable.
Now that the rent is hiked up with the Braxton Place rebranding, you can get a much nicer apartment (with thicker walls and functional AC) for a similar price. If you drive the neighborhood, there are literally dozens nearby.

Been living here for years. Whenever I leave and move back its always here. Peaceful and quiet

If you’re looking for an affordable loft or 2 bedroom apartment, I highly recommend Sea Pines. My boyfriend and I are moving out of our loft because we need more room, but I am going to miss this place so much! Management is very helpful and accommodating. If there is ever a problem, you can go straight to Tony and you bet it will be resolved. The entire area is secluded and very quiet, and it is one of the few complexes I’ve seen in Wilmington that always has plenty of parking spots open — you don’t need a permit or anything. People even park their boats out there in the summer. The only issue we had in the loft was the AC unit. It’s just a small window unit downstairs and as we all know, hot air rises, so in the summer the loft is HOT. This can easily be fixed by putting another unit upstairs, or if you’re cheap and don’t care about interior decorating like me, by putting the bed downstairs. Not to mention, the bathroom upstairs has a heater in the fan! There’s nothing better than going upstairs on a freezing day and taking a shower in the warmest bathroom ever. Sea Pines is located in a perfect area — in between the central Wilmington and Monkey Junction. This means it’s quiet and away from the busy areas, you don’t have to pull your hair out on South College waiting for traffic to move just to get some groceries. If you’re a non-​traditional student looking for a quiet complex within 10 minutes of campus without all of the partying through all hours of the night — check this place out!
