Southern Pines Apartamentos

I lived here for just one year, from about July 2021 to July 2022, and it was a bad experience, for the following reasons:
1) HIGH LEVELS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY of which I was a victim twice in just one year.
2) HEAVY ROACH INFESTATION, though I kept my apartment very clean, they were still teeming from walls, baseboards, vents appliances, and I would be disturbed in the night from them crawling across me. While I was there, I did also notice that pest control was a no-show most of the time.
3)... FALSE ADVERTISING of non-existent amenities. At the time, they had advertised internet and a pool, but there was no internet (I had to set up my own service), and the pool was always closed.
4) BAD MANAGEMENT AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES. They would happily collect the rent every month but would not actually do their jobs, would not fix anything, would not be reachable, would not take accountability.

Also, it took them nearly six months to return my security deposit, and when they finally returned it, there was money missing from it for which they could not come up with a legitimate reason, yet still they tried to keep it, claiming there just wasn't anything they could do about it. Eventually they agreed to return it, but to this day (aprox. 8 months after my move out) they still have not returned it. Lee mas

I've lived here with my girlfriend for a year and nothing ever gets fixed even if u put in work orders we have a giant hole in our bathroom ceiling that has yet to be fixed our hallway flooded and ruined almost all of our clothes the apartment still smells like toilet water all they did was vacuum the hallway. If u can fine something better go with that choice but don't move to southern pines oh and our closet has black mold to.

The standard cliche is as simple as that with this place. Current resident at the moment. Looking to get out soon. Complex it self is just old. It’s outdated, and there’s truly nothing modern in it. It’s a mixture of the hood and urban living. Kids roam around unsupervised, which isn’t a huge issue until they stop in the middle of the road for no reason and stay there so you can’t move forward. Very annoying. Maintenance is a but chaotic. Things are always breaking bc the place is so old, yet... they won’t or can’t properly fix it. It’s a on going issue. It’s a ok place if you’re starting out, or trying to start over, but don’t plan to stay for long. Try try to nickel and dime you as much as they can. There’s (currently) no security. They’ve tried implementing it several times since I’ve been here but it never sticks for whatever reason. My guess is they don’t want to pay the money. The office closes for any reason. Literally. You’ll be lucky to find them open 2 days a week. You always get emails stating office is closing for this reason or that reason. DO NOT GET PACKAGES SENT HERE. They will get stolen. Get Amazon drop box, or friend/relative for them to go to. Mail issue it self finally got fixed. Had no way to get mail for sometime until they built the new mail area up front. Had to get a outside PO Box bc the old mail area just got trashed and ruin. Which leads me to this.. it’s poorly maintained as far as trash. Trash dumpsters will be over flowed and absolutely gross a lot of the time. Trash on the property bc ppl just don’t care how they live. It’s gross. LOUD bangs from time to time.. maybe gun shots or fireworks. Who knows. Basically, don’t move here unless it’s absolutely necessary. Lee mas

Please do not live here, I am a current resident here and it is awful. I moved here in April 2021 because I was desperate to find a place to live and I thought it was relatively cheap for a one bedroom apartment. My apartment is tiny, everything is either broken or about to break, and there is a ton of bugs and mold everywhere. Maintenance is a joke. If they ever come to fix anything it takes them 2 months to even come by. And when they do, they only fix stuff halfway to the same condition it... was before instead of actually full on fixing things. Everything looks nice and clean when you move in, but very soon after, you notice every detail. When I first moved in my stove didn’t work due to a shortage in the outlets (btw only one of the plug ins work on every outlet in the apartment) and maintenance legit asked me if I knew how to unplug and plug the cord back into the wall. Tonight marked 3 days of having our toilet clogged without maintenance coming. We had to drive a half mile to the gas station every time we had to use the bathroom. Our toilet had overflown and flooded the bathroom with tp and poop. We called the emergency maintenance line and he said he’d be there in an hour or so, when 4 hours had past I had been plunging and bleaching the bathroom down because I knew maintenance wasn’t coming. This is the worst place to live, please just pay extra for a better apartment somewhere, live in a shelter, or with family or friends. I wish I would’ve just lived in my car until a better apartment opened up. This is the worst place to live and management doesn’t care because they get paid either way, while we live here and suffer.

The manager is super nice! The complex is pretty clean outside. (Inside is up to you and how you live) but spotless when 1st moved into. The residents here are generally sweet and quiet also which is fantastic. Overall great place!
