Atria at Crabtree Valley

RUN AWAY NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I wouldn’t rent here again if they paid me. First of all, the cable, trash, pest control and whatever else they want to roll into the First Billing is not disclosed at the time you sign your contract so I was paying almost $ 200 more than I had agreed to. There were 2 arrests in the complex (that I know of) while I lived there. There were dogs running around unleashed and unsupervised and no one from the office seemed to care. Cigarette butts were discarded all over the place and despite the additional $ 200 I paid through first billing, they were not picked up and I ‚(a non-​smoker), was threatened to have to pay a fine for this. The pipes from the apartment above were rusting on to my bathroom ceiling and I’m sure the ceiling will just be painted over rather than repaired before a new tenant moves in. Discarded furniture and beat up A/​C units litter the property behind the apartments and have remained that way for over a year. The kicker was when I moved out and the front office simply took my keys and said management would walk through my unit without me present. Who knows what they’ll charge me at move out considering they have gauged me for the last 12 months. There are so many quality places to rent in the area, do yourself a favor and look around before renting here.

Atria at Crabtree Valley is a wonderful place to live. I was new to the Raleigh area and was looking for a great location that is not too far from shopping malls, downtown, highways and restaurants. I found this place by searching the internet just like you are doing now. I read negative and positive comments about living in this complex. I considered not staying here because of the negative responds. I took a chance and visit the complex. I am glad I did. This complex is not your 5 stars but is not your one star either. if you looking for the same things, I mentioned above then Atria is your place of living. The apartment is very spacious for the price and very clean. The Staff is very helpful and respectful. I do not regret my decision.

Unfortunately I had to put a star to begin writing this review. A star is being more than generous. To begin, just know I am a current resident and I’m hating every minute I’m out here!
I read reviews prior to residing at the Atria, boy I should’ve listened! You have a little bit of everything at the Atria. Inattentive leasing personnel that allow felons to reside on the property to grounds not being cared for.
I can tell you, because I’ve seen it, every positive review you read on any site has been bought and paid for by the Atria. The system they use is simple. The leasing office contacts a willing resident, the resident posts a positive review, the tenant is then paid a fifty dollar gift card.
The Atria advertises huge updated luxury apartments. The apartments are big however they’re not updated and hardly luxury. The atria thinks because they replace a few fixtures and put up some molding they have updated luxury apartments.
Further, the noise you hear while inside what is supposed to be the comfort of you’re own home is at times unbearable. They’re is no piece and quiet and if you have tenants above your apartment you’ll have a miserable stay at the Atria.
To sum it up. If you’re a hard working law abiding person the Atria is not the place for you. If you use drugs, a felon, and just a bad person all the way around the Atria will be your safe haven.
I hope this review is helpful to all that reads it. I fear you’ll be like myself and dismiss the reviews finding yourself locked into a lease for a year that’s practically impossible to get out of.

Not sure who closed this, I imagine it was management, as the reviews are largely negative. I am currently renting an apartment here and it is very much open! I love my actual apartment, the size and location are both wonderful, and unlike others I haven’t had any problems getting maintenance to address issues in a timely manner (perhaps because I am a young female?). However my utility or «First Billing» fee tacks on an additional $ 180 or so to my monthly rent, despite the fact that I am rather stingy with my water, and my cable has never worked. So essentially I pay almost $ 200 a month for «pest spraying» (after 3 visits, 2 of which I’m pretty sure never occurred, I still have a roach infestation), water, and internet. When I moved into the apartment management declined to mention that someone had been shot in my unit which I learned later from a neighbor. A couple months before my lease ran out management insisted that I needed to let them walk through my apartment, after they didn’t show up twice and I declined to allow them to walk through they still called regularly asking me to reschedule. Rent was raised $ 100 dollars after one year of leasing, supposedly due to an increase in tenants, however everyone in my building has moved out. This is not a terrible place to live as long as you are prepared to pay at least $ 200 more than the listed rent, and expect additional fees and increases in price throughout the time that you live here.

Don’t ever move here!!! Read the reviews this isn’t just one unhappy tenant. These people try to squeeze every single penny out of you. They are adding misc. fees, have rude staff, loose your lease, send eviction notices when you have paid in full on time. They have gone through 3 different property managers within the last six months. There is a big pest control problem (large road roaches), which by the way they charge you a monthly pest control fee for. Just ask them for all the fees. Cable and Internet is a mandatory $ 99 add-​on that they fail to mention when you sign the lease. The neighborhood is turning into a ghetto environment. Pets are running around with no supervision; unsafe for children especially!!! Stay away!!!
