Villas at Cedarhurst Apartamentos

I am actually still living there because of the one-year lease that I signed up for. Getting to the house makes me mad, it’s NOT CLEAN at all. Those pretty nice pictures are a scam and they always promise to get landscaping in the area. And yet, I DO have a reminder to pay rent every 1st of the month, and the back area looks like it’s abandoned. YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIVING THERE just so we get noticed!!!

I enjoyed my experience at Abbington Hills! It’s kind of out the way (15 mins from downtown) but still has restaurants nearby and a good 15/20 mins at most from anywhere you need to go in RVA. The appliances aren’t the newest in terms of W/D, bathroom appliances and some lights but my kitchen appliances are up to date and nice. That being said the inside isn’t super flashy/amazing nor modern looking, some things are obviously painted over a few times and dusty but not unclean. I had no issues... with bugs just slugs outside. Be alert and careful of crime in the area but I go on walks with my cat frequently during the day with no issue and plenty of kids play outside and people run/ride bikes in the area. Leasing office staff are responsive and work orders usually get completed within a week. For the square footage, price, amenities + no issues with staff/bugs/residents I would say this is a quality place to live. I hope this helps! Lee mas

Right when we moved in first day door was broken and would not close, they already did the walk through saying everything was good. Carpet was peeling up, stables everywhere. Car break ins, someone tried to enter without permission. (Very creepy guy claiming to be with Verizon). Windows had no seal causing A/C and heat to over work. A/C broke and freezer broke. Sliding closet door fell off multiple times. Leasing officer was extremely disrespectful multiple times. We also had a cad towed due to... a leasing office mistake. They refused pay fee. They also refused to pay to replace any lost food when the freezer broke and would not send out anyone to fix it. Lee mas

Within a month of living here we’ve already dealt with a flea infestation that the property manager insists we caused, broken water pipes that resulted in flooding, staples sticking out of the carpet, no a/c during a heatwave (we submitted a maintenance request as soon as we realized it wasn’t working and they closed the ticket without ever coming to investigate the issue or even telling us it was being closed), car break-ins, and cars being towed due to the leasing office providing faulty... stickers that constantly fall off the car.

The property manager also deflects any responsibly and makes it a point to actively avoid answering questions where she knows she is in the wrong so you never get actually solutions for any concerns that you voice. Lee mas

I notified the apartment and I received no move-out directions until calling several times and emailing the office until 2/27. At that time, I requested an inspection on 3/6 which Abbington Hills manager mistakenly conducted on 3/13 and stated that I was present for it and working from home (I was not home- I don't work remotely).
On 3/21, I sent a written offer to schedule professional cleaning services for my unit as has been requested by previous landlords and received no response. On 3/22, I... completed my move-out and stopped by the front-office to ensure items were in order. On 4/12, I received a bill from Weinstein stating that I owed $800+ for worn carpet and pest control. They admitted that their request for Pest control was incorrect by $100 and modified it only after inquiry. Their claim was that the "carpet was worn all over the home" from simply living and having sitting furniture as a tenant for 2 years and that gnats were present throughout the home possibly from all the plants I had in the unit downstairs (I did even keep any plants downstairs).
I requested their evidence of the "damage" they are claiming which shows no gnats or wearing of the carpet. After living in 4 complexes over the last few years in RVA, this is by far the worst mismanaged move-out experience I've ever had in my opinion. I won't be recommending anyone else to live here as I've done in the past. Lee mas
