I feel like I've been Bamboozled. When I inquired about this place I only had the opportunity to visually see the front end of the complex where the rental office is and go figure its clean and quiet. The model unit is what sold me and I was excited because I thought I would be getting something exactly like that but oh boy was I wrong about all of it.They tell you they have washer/dryer hook...

So, when I first moved here, it seemed ok. Looked nice enough and not much noise or drama. Now, there is constantly trash EVERYWHERE, but they're quick to tow cars if inspection is bad! Nevermind the fact that there's dozens of Roaches. I've had random people getting high in my hallway right outside my door and get to hear my neighbors play loud music at all hours, seven days a week. Also,...

Fights between adults people going to jail. Neighbors are overly loud. NEVER MOVE TO NEWPORT COMMONS APARTMENTS NOT WORTH THE STRESS AND AGGRAVATION!!!!!

This is by far the worst apartment I have ever lived in, in my life! I was a military brat and lived in apartments all my life, however, this one takes the cake. My husband took a job out here and rented from this community. Since moving in in Nov '11, we have had relentless problems with roaches and other creepy crawlies. I visited in Dec and kept getting bit by mystery bugs. Not thinking...

I have lived here for 10 months and have already started moving. Since they will not let me out of my lease; I would rather pay the remainder of the lease than stay here any longer. I was one of the many apartments to have their door kicked in and robbed. The police are constantly being called. I gave up on getting the roach problem solved after asking three times for an exterminator. Was told...

I'm just going to give the highlights to spare you time. It would take too long to explain it all. -There have been 5 shootings in the last year. -My 6'3" 250lb husband does not feel safe carrying our clothes to the laundry facilities at night.... -The office staff is dismissive and apathetic. -We have had maintenance problems that repeat themselves because the maintenance is not competent.

I have been living in these apartments since May of 2009 everything was okay for awhle. Anytime we needed something fix they came and fixed it right away! Now I don't know, it takes 12 times to place a call to get one thing fixed. You have to stay ontop of them to get things done. When you place a call to say that this need to be fixed it shouldn't take no complex 2wks to come and see what the...

I have been a resident at Auburn Chase apartments since Oct 2009. I wouldn't waste my time even applying to any complex that is managed by Great Atlantic.

I should have never moved here! I am currently a resident and I moved here in December, and was ready to move out the first week. First, I arranged to get my address 2 weeks before moving, because I knew that I would be out of town the week of Thanksgiving, so I wanted to have everything situated for the move Dec. 4th. I was given an address, and called to have my utilities moved. On moving...

So I read the reviews but still was desperate to get back to VA from NC. So I chanced the move thinking like I always hear only the angry people do the reviews and surveys and moved. My mother kept saying if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. There was a lady killed behind me few weeks before Christmas of 2009. It was on the news and there was yellow tape everywhere.

Moved in around November of 2006. Not really any problems, just the occasional people hanging around. A year and a half later, my girlfriend moved in. One night, the smoke detectors starting going off at midnight. There was hot water dripping out of it, various holes in the ceiling, and the ceiling fan. An older woman lived there at the time, I called maintenance for an emergency call in. It...

apt was broken into 3 times, took us 5 days to have the lock on the door after it was kicked in during the 2nd break in, they never replaced the door. We had to give them our written, signed, and dated sheet that said we were breaking the lease 3 times. Our neighbors also played loud bass at all hours of the night. We also had a roach problem that was never resolved despite the fact that we had...

I was staying there with my fiancee. Everynight there were kids/adults hanging out drinking, cursing few fights. Neighbors had the police called on twice for domestic fighting. Our walls literally shook when he was slamming her against the walls. People walk there dogs and there is crap everywhere. Kids are loud there throughout all hours of the day. Its like a hangout spot. Just no piece

I loved the manager from the minute I walked in. She was very helpful and was able to get me set up and moved in the SAME day. The apartment is nice and in the month I have been here I have not had a problem that was not cleared up within 24 hours. I have told any of friends looking for a apartment to go see Julia, she will hook you up!

I had been searching all over for a wonderful apartment that I could afford. Most of the apartments out here are reasonably priced but I kept running into the worse office staff unwilling to help and not friendly at all. However when I walked into Auburn chase the office staff was so polite friendly and so eager to help me seeing that I was in need of something immediately. I am a single mother...

Hello there. My husband and I have lived here since October. We will not be renewing our lease. A few tips to those apartment hunting: Ask police officers for the areas they get called to least. Ride through at various times of the day and night--you want to make sure you will feel comfortable. ASK TO SEE A UNIT READY FOR MOVE IN NOT JUST THE MODEL!! This will give you a better idea of what...

To be honest this place was not the best in the world, and not worth the price. There was a murder commited outside my apartment, many "ghetto" people occupy these apartments. My neighbors played very loud lame music and smoked pot in the hallways. The pool was nice, when there weren't drug deals went down.

Its not TERRIBLY ghetto, but then again I guess it depends on which section you get put in. If you decide to move here, make sure you get a unit near the front of the complex.

This apartment, and basically all Great Atlantic apartments are POS's. In short, my apartment was basically a former crackhouse which was basically caddy-shack fixed up and something went wrong or broke at least 1-2 times a month. Managers are rude, and maintenance service SUCKS. I hate this place...I can go on...email if you want more info.

We were new to the area and did not know the area very well- BAD MISTAKE. I have never seen a property run so poorly in my life, the resident manager(Barbara) was ghetto and did not have ANY business running a property.

I moved into the apartments a little over six months ago - and I have to be honest. The best part of living here in the complex is the Property Manager Penny. She is the best and will try to fix any problem that you have on her side. She unfortuneatly does not have a say with property maintenance. If she ran both the complex and maintenance - this would be the place to live. The down side - the...

We ended up living there for 2 years and they were the worst two years of my life.

Lets talk about the Office Management. What a joke. Lisa, the manager, doesn't know her head from her ---. She doesn't care about any of the tenants, their well-being or anything.

My comments about the apartment are.. the management staff at the apartment complex are not caring and will not fullfill any of your needs.

Auburn Chase is a nice community. I have been here for a few months and was glad to see new management. Maintenance is a little slow but the work gets done properly. Recently I have seen a police officer who lives here that actually patrols the community and has helped quiet some of the noise. I would reccomend this complex to my friends. The apartments are very big but a little noisy. Good for...

It's not the nices place in town but considering how cheap it is, you can't go wrong. I never had too much trouble getting things worked on. My refrigerator broke and they came to fix it several times. Finally I had to make them get me a new one. That's the only negative I have. The neighborhood isn't great but if you're just in and out all the time it doesn't really matter.

In lite of the recent shootings, drug bust and the SWAT team being here this is not a safe place to raise your kids or live yourself.
