  • Love My Home

    July 28, 2019
    Going on my second year living here and I love it. Seriously, no complaints. I've lived in 5 apartments and this is the absolute best bang-for-your-buck living I've ever experienced. You don't have to compromise on anything. Even though we're right off the main road and bus stop (convenient as heck), it's been very quiet. I don't know what it looked like before their updates, but my apartment is so perfect for me and my partner. White cabinets, stainless steel appliances, lots of natural light ...
    and a smart layout. When we originally toured we weren't able to see a vacant (which is usually a non-negotiable). I have to say, our apartment was as beautiful and fresh as the model. I really do love it here.

    *I live here since 8 months with my family in 2br renovated apartment. *it is a calm place and great if you have a family. *it is not dark and scary outside like most chapel hill apartments. they have strong street stadium lights. (it is very safe) *bus stop is just by the entrance (10 seconds walk!!) *5 minute walking distance to whole foods, university mall, silverspot cinema, dunkin donuts, traders joes, harris teeters. *administration staff are very friendly and always smiling. *maintenance ...
    are very helpful and responds immediately. (Hector) * the only thing I DONT like that the stairs and the hallways that surrounds the apartments doors are always very dirty (spider webs, bugs, polen, sticky stuff). in that 8 months that i lived here it was washed only ONCE while it should be done once a week atleast. otherwise everything is perfect

  • Very recommended!

    March 19, 2018
    This is a very good place for students of UNC. I moved in one year ago and decide to continue to stay here further. I love the apartment very much. The staff is very helpful, my apartment is renovated and there are few things needs to be fixed.But anytime if I need, Hector, the maintenance guy, will comein the same day and fix things perfectly.

  • Best location ever

    April 14, 2017
    I moved in June 2013 and lived there for four years. The staff is so professional and helpful. Maintenance is top-notch. Hector, the maintenance guy sees that everything gets fixed within hours. The apartments are spacious, sunny, clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is very quiet. I love the little pond around the back. There is a bus stop right outside that you can use to commute to UNC campus(in 5 minutes) or to Durham/Raleigh. There are many grocery stores in walking distance (Whole ...
    Foods, Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, Walgreens). The University Mall is in walking distance as well as the post office. If you're a student/ professional working in chapel hill, you won't need a car if you live at Franklin Woods.

  • To avoid!!

    September 13, 2016
    The position is good... but there isn't nothing positive! They are very fast to take the money, in other hand so slow to help you. The place is dirty and without amenities, the apt are very old. The noise of the aircondition machine is very strong, while into the apt the temperature comfort is no good. The stairs are ever dirty and if a light doesn't work you must wait 1 or 2 month for a change. The pool is ridiculus, with a cleaning very sporadic. If compare the price with the quality you can ...
    find better... but very better! To avoid!!!

    I've not lived here long, but one thing I can say is that the service is impeccable. When I've reported a problem, such as the air conditioning malfunctioning, the response is immediate, within 24 hours. Hector, the maintenance person, is superb.
