Nice spot
September 30, 2025Affordable, maintenance has been pretty good for me, friendly and helpful staff, good gym, good pool and rec area (volleyball court and tennis/basketball court). Location is good if you like accessibility to town and the rest of the area, and don’t want to get swamped by game day traffic. Bus stop is just outside so it easy to get around town if you’re not driving.Property Manager Responded
October 6, 2025Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Shadowood Apartments & Lofts. We're happy we could meet your expectations!

Cool spot
September 13, 2025I recommend living at Shadowood. I am new to Chapel Hill, and spent a lot of time checking out different complexes. I’m very happy with my decision to live here. The management team has been great and is on site. They’re very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The complex is older, but well maintained. The grounds are beautiful, lots of trees and ornamentals. The area is clean and there is ample parking. The neighborhood feels lively - I often see people walking around and using the community ...amenities. Overall Shadowood feels like a safe, quiet neighborhood. During the day as well as at night. It’s tucked away but still conveniently located. Rent prices seem fair for the area as well.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

July 28, 2025The new management has become strict about rental payment and pool hours, and maintenance is slow/unresponsive. The pool is nice, and the apartments are close to the bus stop to go to UNC. The buildings are old and the walls are crumbly. Price is fine. They don't raise the rent significantly each year, which is why I stay.Property Manager Responded

April 10, 2025Shadowood has been such an amazing experience for me. My apartment is one of the most spacious I've lived in, and all at an affordable price. We're in the two-bedroom loft option, and it's the perfect amount of space for a couple and two cats, especially since I work from home. It's right by UNC so my husband can take the bus to his grad school classes with no problem, and the location is surprisingly green considering how urban it is. The amenities are also worth noting, I've literally taken ...up tennis because of how nice the court is! The pool is spacious, and the gym has nearly everything I could want. I have every intention of staying here until either circumstance takes us somewhere else, or we purchase a home. I've really enjoyed this community, and would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere peaceful to live.Property Manager Responded

November 19, 2024The employees are great, it's just an old community and the Apts need a lot of work. The community definitely attracts low income/school students based on its location. Safety in this community is an issue. The dog park is pitch dark at night, lights throughout the community are burned out or removed, sidewalks are uneven, tree branches laying all over the property. Definitely, safety issues here. These comments don't reflect the staff at Shadowood, i know they are doing the best they can with ...what they have to work with. I am moving out next month, so my parting comment would be to hold the residence accountable for where they live, i.e.... trash, guess who live here although not on the lease, parking, bikes locked to polls outside apt (safety issue). Outside my apt there are 5 bikes that belong to other residence although i have to trip over them every day. There should be a designated area for bikes due to the fact they use them so infrequently by residence.Property Manager Responded
