Move in
September 1, 2025Move in was easy but I had neighbors standing in the way of the stairs and just kind of staring at me while moving which I found strange. There is a wasps nest on my patio upon move in and there is some obvious maintenance that needs to happenProperty Manager Responded

Review from Apartments.com
Borderline scam
January 15, 2025Probably the worst apartment I've ever rented. Not sure why it gets a 3.8 avg rating. I'd imagine the property managers might write some of the positive ones, if they weren't obviously illiterate. - The laundry rooms are absolutely disgusting, with over half of the machines perpetually out of order. - Maintenance is unresponsive and incompetent. When getting my garbage disposal fixed, the maintenance tech left the chewed-up food he found in the disposal right on my kitchen counter for me to ...clean! - Gym is filthy and poorly serviced. - Neighbors are awful. Cops were called for constant domestic disputes. At least one DEA raid while I was there. At least one investigation into someone trying to groom kids in the neighborhood. - Apartment was in poor condition on move in. Most outlets were painted over to some degree. Disgusting, flaky finish on the kitchen counters. Bathroom was like something out of SAW. - Constant annoying e-mails from the property about nothing. - Took forever to get my deposit back. Had to ask multiple times. Very kosher.Property Manager Responded

Awful Management
January 28, 2023The office staff never respond to emails or answer the phone for residents. The pictures of this apartments amenities are YEARS old. The gym is gross and definitely does not look like the pictures. The laundry room was always gross, but it has been broken for months now so it does not even matter. In two years, my rent went up over $200 with no updates to my very dated unit. Management was not willing to discuss rent negotiations. Maintenance is nice, but limited by company policies that don't ...allow them to actually make major necessary repairs. Management also sends a weekly email with the SAME bullet points each time, but a title that makes it sound like there are new, important updates I need to consider.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

Great Staff
October 20, 2021I have been living at The Forest for a while things are definitely going in the direction to success I appreciate the new staff taking care of all of my needs .Review from Apartments.com
Poor management
June 29, 2021The apartment itself is fine. Nothing special; you get what you pay for. However, it has been terrible dealing with management. They are extremely unresponsive. I cannot reach them by email, text, phone, voicemail, etc. Yet amazingly they always have ways to contact me when they want to for promotional purposes. When I go in person, they give me the runaround, never actually fixing the issues and blaming understaffing as the cause.Review from Apartments.com
Wonderful, Responsive Management
September 6, 2018I just moved in about 6 days ago and encountered several issues with the apartment that were not addressed upon move in. The property manager,Fernando, was incredibly helpful, apologetic, and attentive to the problems. I never write reviews, but feel his customer service was exceptional and deserved recognition. He went out of his way to listen and immediately address the problems personally. My experience as a renter has ultimately been determined by the strength and responsiveness of the ...property's management. Fernando embodies the values of quality customer service and makes residents feel at home and that their concerns are heard.Property Manager Responded

Keep away from these guys
August 21, 2018I lived here for one year and I wish I could give them something less than a zero. I had problems with their plumbing in the bathroom coupled with the noise that they refused to address. Then when I move out , they refuse to give me back my deposit claiming that my carpet was damaged because it had dog urine which is totally untrue because I do not have a dog and I have never had anyone come to my apartment with a dog. When I moved out my apartment carpet was in perfect condition. Shame on you ...guys! keep away from themProperty Manager Responded

Awful place to live
April 7, 2018I was robbed in my apartment at gunpoint, and after moving, the apartment manager sent me a bill for the remaining 6 months of the lease. There is no gate/security here. Anyone can walk up to any door of the apartment complex at any time. The complex is near Duke Forest and is therefore not visible from any main road. There is a camera in the parking lot, but it does not work. After being robbed, I moved because the men who held a gun to my head told me they would return. Because there is no ...security to prevent their return, I had to move. The manager(s) of the complex told me they could do nothing and that they would try to lease my apartment so I would not have to pay. I came back two weeks later for my mail, and they still had not even tried to show the apartment. Do not rent here. The employees are awful at customer service. My apartment constantly smelled like cigarette smoke. This is NOT a non-smoking complex. My downstairs neighbor frequently smoked cigarettes, and I could smell smoke in my apartment constantly. Guests complained about the smell because it was so strong that it smelled as though I smoked in the apartment myself. My apartment had many maintenance problems that management did not fix. There was a large gap between the door and door frame so air easily flowed in and out of the apartment. The bathtub floor is flat so water stands and collects; water has to be guided into the drain. The water pressure in the kitchen and in the shower were always low. The water in the kitchen sink takes about 2-3 minutes to heat up. The floors are creaky so my downstairs neighbor frequently complained about me "stomping" when I was simply walking around in the apartment. There is constant construction so the complex is noisy and trashy. The construction workers listen to music loudly all day and of course their tools make loud noises. They also do not clean up their messes. They painted the outside of my door, and they left the painter's tape around the doorframe and doorknob. In short, you should not live here under any circumstancesRead MoreReview from Apartments.com
Four Stars
January 29, 2018I lived at The Forest for two years and my over-all experience was positive. I have seen a couple of management companies come and go, and the current office staff is much more approachable and helpful than those in the past. They respond to emails quickly and communicate with one another so you don't have to ask your question five times to five different people. (That makes a difference) The neighborhood was very quiet and I only felt unsafe once. I alerted the office and it was handled ...promptly, which I appreciated. My neighbors were respectful for the most part as they are either graduate students, young professionals or families. I chose a second floor unit because the floors are quite squeaky and I'm certain that my downstairs neighbor could hear my every move, but you get used to it - and so do they. The apartment was very warm in the winter since heat would rise from downstairs which was nice for my energy bill - even in the summer it wasn't outrageous. I missed not having a washer and dryer and the ones on site would sometimes break without warning. The laundry facility is well kept and cleaned daily- nice hardwood flooring as inviting. The pool is small but definitely usable - I enjoyed it a few times over the course of my stay. The tennis courts are stellar - recently resurfaced and lit at night. The gym is small and outdated - the weight machines are old and sketchy but the treadmills worked. Maintenance is great. They're quick, friendly and attentive. I was never unsatisfied with any of the work they did. Overall - I would recommend living here! Had I not found a house, I would still be a tenant.Property Manager Responded

details
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
