The Verge at Asheville, asheville-nc

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Please please whatever you do, DO NOT LIVE HERE. And DONT let your child live here. It is very dangerous, and they don’t care about you. I’ll share with you a few experiences I’ve had while living here. First when I moved in I was told to use conservice to pay my electric, and then at the end of December change to duke energy. When January came around I noticed 100 dollars extra on my rent. I asked them why, they said it was because I didn’t have electric for three months. I argued and showed them my payment for electric, but they didn’t care. They said it was the only payment, but they lied and charged me 300 more dollars. Later on while living here, they hired a third party to come repair our fire extinguishers. These men got paint ALL OVER my stuff, and I told the leasing office I didn’t want them back in my apartment and showed them proof. They ignored me and never got back to me about any of it. Then few days after the allowed week for the maintenance men to enter our apartments, without any notice the men started knocking on my door constantly, demanding to be let into my apartment with no gear in hand. I told the leasing office about their misconduct, and how as a young woman I was scared. They ignored me and told me they will be letting them back into my apartment, no matter what experience I had and besides the fact they tried to enter without approval . Then when move in and move out came around, they decided they were going to construction on the apartment above me… starting at 11pm and ending at 3am every week night… even when they have a rule that quite hours are 11pm-8am. So we can’t be loud past 11pm, but they can do construction in the apartment above me while I’m trying to sleep. They were literally ripping up carpet, drilling into walls, throwing around furniture, all at 3am on a Tuesday. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.. listen to the comments telling you all the good comments are fake. They do bribe people to write good reviews, or they are done by employees who are living in the complex. So if you want to live in a place that will treat you like garbage, and will try to steal all your money. This is the place for you, cause they won’t treat you like a human being here!

I have loved living here for the past year as a UNCA student! The new management is AMAZING!!! Amber at the front desk has been so kind, helpful, and really uplifting of the new management. Wayne is totally awesome as well; he made living there day to day so enjoyable and felt like a real friend. He always made sure things were taken care of and was attentive of our lives. I highly recommend living here!!

I moved in recently and I'm extremely new to all of this, just turned 18. My experience thus far has been as great as I expected, only $600 a month and that includes utilites and mantience. For a college student, this price is great. I give four stars as I've mostly seen I've gotten lucky, not everyones experience has been this good so far but I can't complain too much personally. Maintenance, even in a busy week like move-in week has been great to me so far though I've only had small problems. My point being The Verge isn't perfect, but for a person's first time in housing outside of parents it's a good enough place to consider home. And maybe that's all it needs to be.

!!!DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! The Verge Asheville was the first apartment I lived in that wasn’t located directly on a college campus. I was thrilled to have my own room with a bathroom, but was QUICKLY disappointed. UNC-Asheville (from my knowledge) had an agreement where students could live in two specific Verge Buildings where payment was on our tuition bill rather than month-to-month rent. I chose this option and was under a different kind of lease compared to the other residents in other buildings. I believe University Housing has canceled this deal for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. My first issue began when I tried bringing my kitten into an apartment. I reached out to the office and read the guidelines, and my cat was following every policy they gave me. When I registered my cat, they responded with a completely new pet policy. I was completely blindsided and forced to move my cat elsewhere. My roommate also had an issue with them midway into our lease with her cat that was an ESA. They forced her to get updated vet records, or else the cat was to be relocated within 24 hours. I watched my roommate panic and miss class for incompetence on the Verge’s behalf. If you’re someone thinking this complex is pet–friendly, please understand it is the exact opposite. They have VERY strict rules for animals, and their dog park is pitiful. My next issue was safety. This complex is primarily college-aged students at UNC-Asheville. Funnily enough, when I had called UNCA police for an issue, they told me that they were not responsible for anything happening on the property. Which is weird, given that my apartment was technically university housing. There were numerous car break-ins that never got solved, even though they have cameras everywhere. When my boyfriend and I stayed together over Thanksgiving break (when most students go home or elsewhere), a man was knocking on doors with creepy behavior and trying to enter apartments. As a young woman, I felt unsafe at The Verge every day. Next was my move-out procedure. One week before my graduation, I received an email from UNC-A’s housing office claiming I needed to move out the day after graduation. I got no such communication from The Verge and was panicking immensely. When I had reached out to them about possibly renewing or subleasing an apartment for the summer, I heard nothing back. They sent out numerous emails on move-out protocols, in which they claim that any common room damage is given to the last person to move out. Since my roommates at the time were still enrolled at UNC-A, they stayed the rest of the summer, leaving me no responsibility for any damage to our living room. In August (3 months after I moved out), I received a text message from their AI chatbot, saying I had over 200 dollars in damages. When I asked for what, it was mostly common space damages. Most, if not all, of my friends who lived at the Verge received egregious charges for random things. The Verge is a money-hungry apartment complex that knows how to manipulate their clientele. Anyone thinking of living here: please choose somewhere else. There are much better luxury apartments in Asheville that offer you better amenities for a similar cost. The Verge is unsafe, unclean, and unwelcoming. After moving elsewhere in the area, I have had a MUCH better experience and came to realize how truly awful this complex was!

These apartments are geared towards UNCA students as non-dormitory housing, but you are able to rent as a non-student. The apartments are rented by room, each of which has their own bathroom (hooray!), and the rent is... How to say it? First come first serve? While you don't need to pay water or internet, and you only pay a fraction of electric (management company covers a large chunk of electric while tenants are each responsible for a portion of the rest of the amount), rent can range between $620 to $900 for the technical single room. If you renew the second the renewal period comes up, you'll be able to snag a lower rent, but if you wait you'll be forced to take a higher cost. Building 1900 also has a MASSIVE forid fly problem. These flies live in drains and require methods of removal PHYSICALLY INACCESSIBLE to tenants. These flies made me go through $80+ worth of Zevo stick pads, $60+ of Draino, and caused such a horrible mental break down I cleaned my bathroom sink pipes by hand. The issue was reported several times, but nothing was done. The flies only go away in winter because they cannot survive. Parking overall is nonexistent if you can't get home before 9pm, and by the time I left, the new management was trying to force guests and visitors $4 an hour to park in guest parking.
