Staying close to nature (trees and stream) means there are some bugs which again would have helped with non-carpeted floor. Also, the fridge door cannot open fully as it is right next to the wall, hence you cant even take out one of the vegetable trays. The kitchen design is a little less practical as the sink and the cooking range are right next to each other robbing of some much needed counter space on either side of the range. I wish they had non-carpeted 1st floors atleast as it would have been easier to keep clean and easier. We are living in the townhouses facing East-West and they have plenty of sunlight. It is located within 5 minutes of walking from Food Lion where you can also board the Wolfline buses and the same place also has the DMV! Neighbors are quiet and friendly. The management if very responsive and maintenance issues are promptly worked upon. There are a lot of trees and we love the presence of the wide variety of birds and of course the squirrels. The location of this place is great for someone associated with NC State University. For those interested, it is also 2 miles away form NC States Centennial campus making it a very short commute to and from school/work. In the opposite direction 0.1 miles, there is a wonderful lake (Lake Johnson) which has a great and wide running/walking trail as well as nice scenic views surrounding it. At this shopping complex there is also a bus stop for those who need to take the bus around the community. There is a shopping complex 0.2 miles away which is convenient in terms of walking distance. Finally, there is a small pet park in the community in case you have a dog or cat that youd like to take out (yes pets are allowed here). Unlike many complexes there is an on site maintenance staff which are fast, friendly, and helpful, and the landscaping of the facility is wonderful. The pool is nice and there are a good amount of pool chairs so you can almost always find a spot there. The gym for the complex leaves a bit to be desired but is still a good place to go run or lift some weights. The unit came had carpeting and stainless steel appliances as well as a large walk in closet and a storage closet on the porch. The housing units themselves are quite nice for their price and feel new and cosy.
I have been living there for 4 months in their studio model and I have found it to be a great place to live. If you do take the risk of renting here, make sure you document EVERY interaction with them and take as many pictures of the apartment at move-in and move-out, because they will try to screw you over.(Note: I understand that the individuals in the on-site office most likely are just following orders from corporate, so I dont blame them since theyre just doing their jobs). When we heard from the debt collector, we found out they were charging us $800 for the carpet alone and that we had less than 2 months to pay them before our credit scores would be negatively affected.In short, another greedy corporate apartment complex that is more than eager to make you pay for their updates. While I understand that sometimes damages do occur, there is also the fact that we had reached out to them prior to moving out regarding carpet issues (we did mess them up slightly, as does happen at times, but the carpet itself was certainly on the older side), however, we had come to the understanding that the charge would only be $200.
We never received any communication from them about any fees owed (they claimed they only send letters and not emails, and that they only had our address of the apartment on file (this isnt true since we had a guarantor who lived in Cary). I and my roommates found out a few months after moving out from a debt collector that we owed them money. However, that being said, I do think Clarion Crossing Apartments needs some serious work in the communication department. While I was here, the office was pretty responsive, and their maintenance team skilled and efficient (that part I give 5 stars).
