First Street Place, greenville-nc

I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Jax from the maintenance team! My AC went out over the weekend, and within two hours of submitting an emergency maintenance request, Jax was already at my apartment helping resolve the issue. He was extremely helpful, efficient, and friendly throughout the entire process. This isn't the first time Jax has gone above and beyond, either. Anytime I've had a maintenance issue, he has always been quick to help and has such a positive attitude. You can tell he genuinely cares about the residents and takes pride in his work. It's great knowing we have someone so dependable on the maintenance team. Jax is truly a great employee, and his hard work deserves recognition!

I lived at First Street Place since 2022 and was a loyal tenant for over four years. Unfortunately, what was once a decent place to live has gone seriously downhill. The biggest issue was with our previous unit, 410. We noticed several floorboards in our living room near the porch coming up, and mold was found underneath. My roommate and I were temporarily moved to a downstairs unit while the issue was addressed. Throughout this process, we received little to no communication and had to repeatedly ask the front desk and management for updates. We literally had to pry information out of the front desk and management just to get any type of update. We received little to no communication or updates until we eventually found out that we would not be returning to our apartment and would have to move out. We were initially told we would eventually return to our apartment, but a month or two later, we were told we could not move back and had to either remain in the smaller unit or move out. We were given only seven days to decide, which put us in an extremely difficult position, as it is EXTREMELY difficult to find a new place to live and get accepted in only a week. During my last year at First Street Place, I also began experiencing respiratory and health issues that were unusual for me. I cannot say with certainty that the mold caused them, but since moving to my new apartment, those issues have completely stopped. If you are considering this unit, I strongly recommend asking questions about the mold issue before signing a lease. Communication with management was consistently frustrating.When you call the front desk, you are automatically directed to an AI system, and no matter what keywords you use, there is seemingly no way to actually get connected to someone at the front desk—even when someone is physically sitting downstairs. You essentially have to go downstairs in person and keep asking until someone can help you. As someone who works frequently, this is extremely inconvenient and should not be necessary just to get basic information about your own home. The property has also become poorly maintained, with frequent bugs and cleanliness issues. I am an extremely clean person, but I was seeing roaches, spiders, and other bugs on an almost daily or weekly basis. This was not an issue with the cleanliness of my apartment—it felt like an ongoing property-wide issue. There have also been serious security concerns over the years. I lost count of how many cars were broken into while I lived here, including my previous roommate’s car. About a year or two ago, about a dozen or more cars in the parking lot had their windows smashed and belongings stolen. These incidents were extremely concerning as a resident. After being a loyal resident for over four years, I felt completely disregarded and disappointed by how my situation was handled. I genuinely used to enjoy living here, which makes the decline even more disappointing. If you are considering First Street Place, please take the negative reviews seriously and do your research. I am not writing this to exaggerate or to discourage people from finding affordable housing, I am writing this because I wish I had known what I know now before spending so many years here. The cheap rent is simply not worth your sanity. The constant bugs, maintenance issues, security concerns, lack of communication, and stress can make what initially seems like a good deal feel completely not worth it. There are plenty of things that can be frustrating about renting, but you should be able to feel comfortable, safe, and heard in your own home. I would strongly encourage anyone looking into First Street Place to consider other options before signing a lease. Read the reviews, ask questions, and really think about whether saving money on rent is worth the potential stress. Based on my experience as a longtime resident, I would not recommend living here.

I was a frequent visitor to First Street, as my girlfriend had lived here, and I would like to share my concerns based on my experiences as someone who regularly visits a resident. First, the visitor parking system is extremely frustrating and expensive. The $10 daily parking fee, combined with a limit of only 8 visits per month, is unreasonable. I have also personally experienced situations where the visits have not been allowed the 8 visits. I have spent hundreds, if not close to a thousand dollars, on parking simply to visit my girlfriend. Previously, First Street used free weekly paper parking passes, which were much more convenient and reasonable. I do not understand why a free system that allowed visitors to park throughout the week was replaced with the current expensive and restrictive system. I strongly believe the visitor parking policy should be reconsidered. I have been disappointed with the overall condition and management of the property. I have personally witnessed issues involving mold, roaches/bugs, broken lights, and other maintenance concerns that appear to go unresolved. The trash chute is also frequently broken and has sometimes remained unusable for months, forcing residents and visitors to walk to the top parking lot to dispose of trash. The trash containers there are frequently overflowing, with trash scattered around the surrounding area and seemingly not picked up in a timely manner. Although I have not technically lived at First Street, I have spent a significant amount of time there and have personally witnessed these issues. I have also seen how my girlfriend’s apartment situation was handled, which left me with the impression of poor management and a lack of consideration. With that being said First Street has left a negative impression to me. I hope First Street Management will seriously consider this feedback to take the steps to improve these considerations. Thank you for the time to read my review.
