September 20, 2025I've lived here for almost a year. Its pretty quiet for the most part. The office is helpful in person not so much on the phone they dont answer. Lots of spiders and water bugs. Love the new paint outside the building. Definitely might reconsider resigning my lease.Property Manager Responded

September 11, 2025Living at Arium Lake Johnson has been a positive experience overall. The location is one of the biggest perks — close to downtown Raleigh, shopping, and major highways, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The lake and walking trails nearby make it easy to get outdoors and enjoy nature. My apartment itself is spacious with modern finishes, and I really appreciate the open floor plan and large windows that bring in natural light. Maintenance requests have been handled in a reasonable time, and ...the staff is friendly when I stop by the office. Parking is generally easy to find, which is a plus. Like anywhere, there are occasional hiccups, but I’ve found this community to be safe, convenient, and comfortable. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located apartment with nice amenities.Property Manager Responded
September 14, 2025Home is where the heart is, so we are elated that yours is worthy of so many stars. We are honored to provide such comfort to you.

August 13, 2025The retreat at lake Johnson is a chill apartment community with great amenities and easy access to all the places you need to get to. The vibe is very much “summer camp” with all the buildings nestled in the woods and plenty of space to roam. The apartment itself is spacious enough and comfortable and kept in good shape, even though the buildings are a bit older.Property Manager Responded

Even the maintenance guy stopped by to check in and told me if anything’s off, just let the office know and he’ll take care of it. Great first impression!Property Manager Responded
