Terrace View, blacksburg-va

I had the worst experience living at Terrace View. There are better options for housing. There is NO excuse for this at all. The worst place to live, hands down, is Terrace View. I added pictures for reference for what I had to deal with. There were so many holes in the doors and walls, the rooms with carpet smelled like urine, the apartment looked so old and dated, and the floor looked terrible. This is not okay!

I had the worst living experience at Terrace View. The only time they have good reviews and ratings is when they try to bribe you with gift cards. They charge for the most obscene things. Something was always broken or falling apart and needed to be repaired. They want to charge cleaning fees for the smallest things. I have many pictures from the first apartment terrace view they tried to put me in. The clubhouse space is nicer than the actual apartments. It may seem affordable, but it comes with so many unnecessary issues. Charging $150 for a key fob is actually ridiculous. I am sure there is no shortage, and yet a terrace view continues to make your life harder. They also charge you an insane amount for the most random electrical bills. Like my roommates and I had a relatively small bill for electric, and then it all of a sudden tripled because they found out that our apartment sat on some sort of power line. So even though we had only been paying a certain amount for the longest time, we still ended up paying an extremely high bill for electric and there was “nothing that they could do.” They love to go out of their way to inconvenience you. I lived at Terrace View for two years, and I absolutely do not recommend it. They also do not have any sort of guest/vistor parking. I have a million pictures showing the damages and whatnot from the apartment that they supposedly “overlooked”. I did a lease renewal, and my family drove hours down to help me move, and Terrace View didn't realize that the apartment they were moving me into had so many damages; it reeked of urine, there was carpet, and it was so disgusting. There were holes in the wall and everything. They tried to get us to wait to move in, but my family had already driven down.

Lived here my sophomore year and renewed for my junior year. I love it here and it definitely feels like home! The location is convenient as multiple busses to campus pass through, the maintenance staff is super helpful and always nice, and the pool is great. They are also super pet friendly, I highly recommend terrace view!

I am only giving 5 stars because Nel is amazing. Who the heck thought one person on PARENTS WEEKEND was a good idea. Nel did an Amazing job and made a real connection with my daughter. Terrace View management your lack of thought or care proves you obviously do NOT care for the parents. We will NOT be renting with you.

I love the community living at Terrace View has brought me!! I love stopping by for a quick coffee at the coffee bar before classes and the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating! I genuinely love how much Terrace View has to offer, ranging from lounging in the hammocks when the weather is nice to gossiping with my besties in the hot tub.
