June 2, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comGreat customer service The team is ready to assist when needed always with a positive attitude.
Good place
March 4, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comI had the pleasure of living at The Chandler Apartments for four years, and it was truly one of the best living experiences I’ve had. It is one of the best communities to live in — very safe, well-maintained, and peaceful. The entire team is extremely competent, professional, and always kind. They genuinely care about the residents and work hard to keep the property in excellent condition. I highly recommend The Chandler Apartments to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure place to call ...home.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

DONT DO IT
January 16, 2024 - Review from Apartments.comdo not live here. Management does nothing at all. my apartment flooded on christmas and nobody would help. I called the office and the management of the apartment complex knightvest and they didnt give me any information on anything they just left me for a month with no carpet or flooring.Property Manager Responded
February 14, 2024Thank you for taking the time to review our community. We apologize that you experienced this situation. After reviewing our records we could not find any leaks/floods reported over the last Christmas. We take pride over our maintenance team and can assure that if a leak was reported, our team would have been happy to assist and would have inspected carpet/floor and taken any steps necessary to address the issue. Please feel free to call or email our manager Debora directly at (919) 444-8542 or chandlermgr@knightvest.com so she can personally assist you with your situation. Sincerely, Chandler MGMT
Excellent!!!!
November 14, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comVery good place to live, quiet and safe. Amenities are good!
Inept or Apathetic
September 30, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comThe title says it all, and applies across the board. Maintenance requests get closed out/ignored or are completed in the laziest way possible (i.e., super gluing my toilet paper holder on). I’ve taken to just fixing my apartment myself when possible. Management seems to not have a clue what’s going on. Honestly a nice looking apartment complex at the surface with more than enough hidden issues to make me avoid this place in the future.Property Manager Responded
September 30, 2022Hello, We thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts and would love the chance to speak to you so we can address any issues you may have. Please reach out to ChandlerMGR@Knightvest.com at your earliest convenience, thank you! - Team Chandler
Fine enough, but they'll lie to you.
August 15, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comNothing could make me sadder than to see that the issue I've come here to write about has in fact been written about repeatedly: management will say they've taken care of a problem without it actually being fixed. I've now reached out to management five times due to the issue with the gate to Picket road. This gate seems to have a mind of its own. It will open by itself, start to close, get stuck, and repeat. Kind of funny by itself, the fact that it happens at all hours of the day and night ...is a nightmare. It means that I can't sit on my porch. It means that I can't work with my windows open. It means that I can't sleep with my windows open. But worse than the gate itself is the fact that I've now reached out to management multiple times, each time with a response the next day of "this has been resolved." Each time the note of resolution arrives, and then 24 hours later the problem is back. Worse still, is that I look at the comments on this thread and I see that this has been an ongoing problem. Not even just that management isn't actually responding well to renters, but literally this gate has been the problem. If you're searching for an apartment, these apartments are fine. If you're looking to be comfortable, move along.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
September 30, 2022Hello, We thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts. At the time, we are not aware of any issues with the gate on Pickett Rd. Please reach out to ChandlerMGR@Knightvest.com at your earliest convenience, thank you! - Team Chandler
Shockingly horrible place
August 15, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comThe management can’t care less about residents. The gate has been broken forever which makes the gated community insecure and there has been houses and cars broken in. The management show how annoyed they are when you need them to fix problems. It is truly horrible and stay away is my best advice. They claim to have invested in renovations but truly cannot do the most basic things
KNIGHTVEST IS THE WORST - DO NOT RECOMMEND
July 20, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comDO NOT RECOMMEND. Unfortunately this complex was bought out by a Texas management company, Knightvest, last year. The management is HORRENDOUS. It literally took me almost 2 weeks to even talk to management after calling, emailing, leaving messages, and sitting outside the leasing office waiting for someone - anyone - to show up! Instead of answering, a maintenance order would be created in my name and shut the next day. With no return of call or attempt to reach me. It's so unfortunate because ...this used to be a nice place to live, but the management makes it completely not worth it. I've had plumbing problems for literally months and have asked for a plumber to come out. Instead, they open a maintenance order, do a quick fix, and then close it. I don't know if they just want to have a quick closure rate or what, but they DO NOT CARE about the residents. It also IS NOT a gated community. The entire time I've lived here, at least one gate has been broken probably 90% of the time. I have had to again ask, ask, and ask again for them to have someone look into it and it takes weeks and weeks. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Update: Now the pool is closed for the rest of the summer... we had 1 day notice that it would be closing. Also several cars have been broken into recently (again the gates never work).Read More
Bad management team
May 9, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comWorst management team ever. My neighbor's house was broken in and they did not care or offer any help. When you see "Knightvest" managing a property, you better walk away.
Can’t stand the new management anymore
April 5, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comKnightvest management is just trash. update 04/5/2021: The side gate is broken AGAIN! Last time the management said to fix it in response to the criminal activity. It did work for less than a month, and now it's been broken for a couple weeks. Apparently they don't really care about your safety. If the gate is that old why not get a new one Here comes another ridiculous thing. We've been using our amazon package hub for 2 years and it worked great. However last week the management just shut down ...the hub for NO REASON and forced us to sign up for a new one. Even more ridiculously, they closed the old one but HAVE NOT INSTALLED the new one! I had no issues receiving packages over the past years but my newest package (nearly $100 value) got lost due to this. It's said to be delivered on 4/03 but the management claimed they didn't get it. POOR MANAGEMENT!! I just can't stand it anymore and won't be renewing my lease. Original: Have been living here for 2 years. This has been a nice place, but things changed as the new management took over in August 2020 (8 months ago). The gates are always broken and I saw in other reviews apartments have been broken into. Today, Feb 19th, a carpet-washing vehicle parked by building #900 around 11:20pm and the whole building has been under great noise since then. Carpet washing at midnight We called the police but they did nothing. It's 12:50am now 20th and the noise is still there. If it's not some toxic chemicals spilled onto the carpet then you should wait until tomorrow morning instead of disturbing your neighbors. Be respectful of others.Read More
