Village at Broadstone Station Apartments

Wanted to leave an unbiased review for anyone currently searching for an apartment. I am a single female in my mid twenties, living alone, so finding a mold free, roach free, affordable apartment in a safe neighborhood was my biggest concern. During my search I read reviews for apartments all over the raleigh-durham, cary apex area and most of them were atrocious (roaches and mold). However, the same night i came across VAB on apartments.com i drove around the neighborhood and was astonished at how quiet and peaceful it is. After months of searching, (and giving up), i scheduled a tour the next day and signed my lease a few days after. I've been here a month and i love it so far. Safe, clean, quiet (on the outside). Lovely office staff - Jen, Harris and Richard have all been wonderful any time i've interacted with them. As with any place, there are cons, which I knew to expect from the reviews, and none of these were deal breakers for me. I live near the trash compactors - sometimes they do get very full (like around christmas) but i honestly don't care about that because I spend my time in my apartment, not at the trash dump.After Christmas, the excess trash was removed very quickly. You can occasionally smell a faint gassy scent from the power plant, but it's nothing too offensive, and I often don't notice it. Biggest con is the walls are VERY THIN as mentioned here before. I'm currently listening to my neighbors music as I type this and if it wasn't in spanish i'd be able to sing along with it. Can occasionally hear baby crying, dog barking, muffled conversations. I'm on the second floor and the people above me either have a dog or children because i do hear stomps and occasional loud THUDS. But that's not something management has control over. Knowing this, i try to walk lightly for whoever is below me. In summation, i love where I stay and feel safe and unbothered here, especially when I come home at night. Also, you're close to EVERYTHING. 10 - 30 minutes away from all the best shopping centers, restaurants and malls in the 919. I haven't had my first utility bill so I can't speak on that but overall, 4/5 for me. Hoping they don't raise rent too high next year so I can stay here again.

The location is perfect for our needs. The office staff has been very helpful and friendly. The response time for requested maintenance is exemplary, and the maintenance crew is efficient and helpful, The community here is warm, and inviting. We could not be happier, unless it was rent-free. - From a verified resident on ApartmentRatings
