Not dog or people friendly
Advertised as a dog friendly area, the tenants seem to love dogs, Management, however, seems to hate them. There isn’t a single area on the entire property where a dog is allowed off leash. A new email from management even says to leash them on YOUR own porch. There is a basketball court and a tennis court that are rarely in use, and the only fenced in area on the property, management threatens fines for letting your dog run around in an unused (and poorly kept up) fenced in blacktop. Let that... sink in. Exercising your dog is a finable offense here. The “bbq pit” is a sad excuse for a recreation area. The masonry is literally falling apart- no exaggeration. Rock walls with rocks missing and mortar chunks missing. Anytime management is brought a problem they blame it on tenants. They’re laughably bad at what should be a really easy job.

Property Manager at The Woodlands of Charlottesville responded to this review
Good morning,
Thank you for your feedback and for expressing your concerns. We are sorry to hear that you are frustrated with our leashed dog policy, but I hope to be able to provide insight here - regarding the basketball and tennis courts,... unfortunately we cannot allow dogs to run freely in those areas because it restricts use for residents wishing to use them, in addition to sanitation concerns that have arisen in recent months.
Dogs must remain on a leash while outside of apartments on the property for the safety of other pets and residents. This is not only a rule from Woodlands management, but it is also a policy set by the home owners association.
Woodlands now features many dog waste stations around the property to handle the influx of new furry residents on the property. We also have walking trails throughout the community, and to offer an off-leash alternative, we are located just down the road from Azalea Park which features two dog parks and is steps away from the Rivanna Trail.
Outside of these concerns, we hope that you continue to find Woodlands of Charlottesville a great place to live. If you wish to speak more about these concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the office!
Very best,
Woodlands Management
