June 2, 2025We enjoy living so close to our boat and the boardwalk. We enjoy the pool and the grounds, which are kept immaculately clean. We enjoy the young employees in the office who are friendly, professional, and pleasant to deal with. We DO NOT enjoy our experiences trying to get things repaired. In the past year: 1. we have had nothing but problems keeping our air conditioner down to a cooling level and have paid extremely high utility bills as a result. 2. We have had multiple problems with our ...dryer, which they finally replaced after fixing several times. 3. The side gate to our building, which we access many times, it’s almost impossible to open and close unless you are a strong man. 4. Finally, we have a dishwasher that almost never works properly. They keep doing small temporary fixes, when they should just replace it. should be “luxury apartment living” without any results, we are probably not going to renew. And I’m going to be forced to google review.Property Manager Responded
June 25, 2025We're concerned to hear about the issues you've experienced with the air conditioner, dryer, gate, and dishwasher. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. Kindly contact us at (910) 899-0895 to discuss these concerns further.

May 10, 2025We continue to be very happy with our choice to live at Sawmill Point. Here are some of the reasons why: the helpful staff, the location in downtown Wilmington on the Riverwalk, the amenities like a saltwater pool, the beautiful views (sunsets, river ,etc), the floor plan, the fun resident events, the grounds and landscaping, the attractive common areas, the state of the art coffee maker :)Property Manager Responded
