Campus Crossings at Raleigh, raleigh-nc

I took over a lease at this property, and the lease documents were unnecessarily confusing and did not provide important information. The office workers were less than helpful when I called and assured me that I would not be charged for the month when I took over the lease because I was starting on the 16th, but then I ended up having to pay for the entire month anyways. Do not take over any leases from here; the office does not care about you and will not help resolve any issues. The property itself is not well-maintained, with numerous bugs, rusty sinks, broken toilets, etc. I wish I had gone with a different company for housing because the fees and rent that isn't prorated drove up the costs and made it stupidly expensive for the dingy and poorly furnished place that I got. The chairs also cause back pain due to a metal bar on the back, which makes them very uncomfortable. The furniture in the apartment seems like the cheapest stuff they could find, which makes it ridiculous that they charge $25/month for it. The light in the property is also very lacking, and the kitchen and breakfast area never receive natural light, making it even more depressing.

My son lived at Campus Crossing for one year, and while the overall experience was okay, it was extremely frustrating to see how many additional fees were added on top of the rent. *Document everything at move in, we didn't and are now paying $75 to replace the blinds. Even though we have a picture showing one was bent on move in day! We were charged extra for a vaulted ceiling that we never requested. When we questioned the charge, the response was essentially, “Well, you didn’t say you didn’t want it.” A view of the pool also comes with an additional charge. Don't lose the parking pass, gym pass, and shuttle pass or you will be charged. It feels like they will find a way to charge you for every possible extra. What initially appears to be a reasonable rental price can quickly become much more expensive once all of the additional fees are added. Prospective residents should make sure they fully understand what is and is not included in the advertised rent before signing a lease.

Do not stay here. The property manager will lie to you repeatedly. Was told there'd be no bugs and had COCKROACHES, centipedes and other bugs by the SECOND night staying there. Even had a cockroach swimming in my toilet bowl one night. Left for Christmas break and there were numerous cockroach DROPPINGS in my sink when I returned. Had mold in our kitchen walls so much to where a cabinet shelf had ROTTED and fell onto the floor. The repair was screwing in particle board with floor molding to cover the gap within the walls of the cabinet. Property manager had LIED repeatedly about the presence of MOLD and had the walls tested by Wake County Health Department and proved them wrong. Bad tempered and ill faith managers, bugs, mold, and lack of care will make this place a terrible choice. Please do not stay here, it will not be worth your money or time.

Do. Not. Live. Here. Despite the fact that I moved out in May, I was charged for multiple damages and cleaning fees that took place after I had left with no key. I informed them of this and was told that it was still my responsibility to make sure the common space was clean even though I had no access to the area?? While this place may seem cheaper than the rest they will certainly make up for it in ridiculously expensive fees at the end. In addition, there was always cockroaches in the apartment ever since we moved in and you could tell it had not been cleaned between inhabitants. I also got charged for blind damages that had taken place before I even moved in. I know many other people who have had issues with random fees and with disgusting living conditions upon moving in. This place is not worth your money at all. I lived here three years and still got screwed over at the end. Just live somewhere else that will actually care about your living conditions even if it is a little more expensive.

Alayna gave me a wonderful tour of the property even though I was almost an hour early for my appointment. She stopped what she was doing and made me feel welcome. The grounds were clean. The storage unit beside each apt. unit is very convenient.
