808 West Apartments, cullowhee-nc

One of the best housing areas at WCU. Much better value than a dorm room (I've lived in 3 dorms), decent prices, GREAT gym, probably the best gym, amazing clubhouse, the 2nd best pool, helpful staff etc. The complaints about the WIFI were 2 years ago, the wifi is now 220 mbps, or as fast as 5G so great upgraded wifi now. Parking is nice but they need to expand guest parking. Pool is a nice salt water pool, better than chlorine. Rooms are good size, bigger than a dorm room PLUS you get a bathroom, kitchen, furnished appliances, TV, fridge, microwave/stove, and parking.

My roommate and I have been at 808 for 3 years. The management is excellent and maintenance comes in a timely manner. Our apartment came furnished and has nice utilities. You also have valet trash which is really convenient. The gates on the outside are locked so you don’t have to worry about strangers wandering in. Overall I think this is a great place to live and would keep renewing if we weren’t graduating.

This has been a great place to live! The amenities are great and they host small events occasionally which can be fun. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Maintenance requests are handled immediately. There was some fur on the baseboards when I moved in but after telling the office they sent a cleaning crew up to my apartment right away. Like other reviews, the carpet wasn’t shampooed though.

Was having a stellar time with friends (as a guest) at this complex’s pool when the manager on duty (7/12/18) literally yelled at my girlfriend and I to leave immediately because we were “acting like animals” by drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette outside the physical walls of the pool. VERY inhospitable and rude opposed to asking us to adhere to the rules they are enforcing. Beautiful place, rude staff!!!

It’s a very nice living space with top tier amenities. I especially like the pool and appreciate the parties thrown by the office. The staff are lovely and maintenance in the rooms is swift. I have definitely enjoyed living here. The only things holding it back are exterior lights; most of the lights in the building’s stairwells are broken and have been for months. The parking lot lights do work, but they direct light exclusively downward so if you’re not directly under them the parking lot is very dark.
