Don't live here
Carolina creek canceled the bus service to ECU and did not inform residents until the day before school. We keep receiving emails with excuses as to why it was canceled because management fails to realize why the residents are so upset and caught off guard by this decision. People would have been upset about the bus service regardless but being so tactless as to not inform your residents of this decision until the last possible second is where they really crossed the line. This will thankfully... be the last year I have to deal with incompetent and at times blatantly rude management.
To give some examples of this apartment complex's mistreatment of its residents, there was a leak in my roof that created a waterfall into my bathroom. It took management months to "fix it" by using an ungodly amount of caulk to fill in the rotted gaps around the pipe boot on the roof. Only when I threatened legal action and had my dad crawl up into the attic space and take photos of the rotted plank of wood did they hire an actual roofing company to fix the problem. In the process of fixing this one leak, we discovered a tarp on my roof that is no doubt covering more leaks. Carolina creek did not pay for those to be fixed, and that tarp is still there to this day. It has been about 2 years now.
What everyone is saying about the ac is also true, the ground floor is freezing while the 3rd floor is like a sauna.
The buildings are dirty and have not seen a power wash probably in the last 5 to 10 years.
Maintenance is slow and unreliable due the apartment complex's aversion to hiring an adequate number of people for the job. Don't expect them to use their recently saved $92,000 to hire more people to get started on the 200+ work orders open at the moment.
Save yourself the trouble and look for somewhere else to live.
