Hawthorne at Murrayville Apartments

One word: FLEAS. I moved in 6 weeks ago and have been plagued by a flea infestation left over from the previous owner´s pets (I don´t have pets). There were other problems when I moved in too. The apartment was not ready until 4:30pm on the move-in date, and the carpet was so filthy that it had to be replaced after I moved in. However, the big problem has been the persistent flea infestation.

In the complex management´s defense, they have made efforts to help rid the apartment of fleas. Eric... has been great and has had the apartment treated three times, but I am still catching fleas in a trap and picking them off my legs.

Following the second unsuccessful treatment, I requested to be moved to another Hawthorne apartment or be allowed to terminate my lease. This request was denied by the regional manager. So, they treated the apartment a third time, and after returning home following Thanksgiving, I am still finding fleas.

I do not agree with how this was handled by the regional manager. I believe that I should have been allowed to leave after the second unsuccessful flea treatment instead of being left to wallow around in flea poison for a third (and unsuccessful) time.
At this point I have only paid rent twice, and I am already looking forward to my lease ending. Hawthorne´s handling of this on the regional level has left a bad taste in my mouth and tarnished their reputation in my eyes. I only wish I had seen a review like this prior to making the poor choice to rent here.

My daughter and I moved here originally for the school district after my divorce, and it was the best decision I have made in years!! The staff, pool and puppy park was amazing!! The location is close to downtown and the beach, what more could you ask for!!!

The staff at Hawthorne at Murrayville truly goes above and beyond with every single thing that happens on site. They always notify residents of changes within the community and of any new rules that we might have. I love living here and it is truly a place I call home! Rachel, the Manager is so great and sweet!

This community is such a hidden gem. It is off the beaten path, but walking distance to a grocery store, a local coffee shop across the street the complex bean (and dunkin donuts), and a gas station. Easy access to Cape Fear Community College, and downtown. The clubhouse always has goodies! They have cookies, and snacks, and are always friendly and welcoming!

This is a cute and cozy property in a quaint location with a great staff! Rachel is by far the best property that I have lived at and I have lived at many apartments due to my job and travel requirements. Convenient to Lowe's Foods within walking distance, there is even a Dunkin Donuts within walking distance.
