Ample free parking, pool, small gym, little dog park, and easily accessible to bus routes.

Good experience; place is nice. Gym is small but rarely crowded. Maintenance comes quickly to fix issues. Staff is very committed and present.

Only downside is about 10 minutes from campus and not as close to the 'action' of Franklin St. or 'downtown' Carrboro.

I live the area but the management company needs to improve in reducing it's maintenance order backlog. It's unacceptable to wait for months for emergency situations to be taken care of.

It's a great apartment - I would definitely live here again.

My roommate and I have had a great experience (2 years) at Autumn Woods, however there are plenty of students in my class that had major problems with the management company regarding apartment issues and their willingness to promptly fix issues/reimburse for inconvenience/having to relocate to a new apartment with movers. Our apartment is of decent build quality, has a great location, spacious, in a safe neighborhood. Be wary of price increases between the two years and fight back when they try to raise rent by $200 at the end of year 1 (you can avoid that entirely).

Gym is not maintained. They throw away equipment and do not replace it. Maintenance crew can be found relaxing on golf carts and chatting on their cell phones during the day meanwhile - my roof is leaking, my window is in disrepair. Poor response from management. My apartment wasn't clean when I moved in. Garbage from previous tenant still there when I moved in and pubic hairs in the bathroom. Community garbage bins left to pile and leak out onto the sidewalk. Children's playground is filthy. I couldn't move because I was moving from another country and school had already started.

I've lived at Autumn Woods for nearly two years with my partner. The layout isn't my ideal, but the separation between he two bedrooms is nice and having guests has been easy. Parking is usually very good, the area is usually very quiet. There are two food lion stores within a 1 mile radius. The apartments were "updated" last year, by which I mean they had someone come in and do a lazy paint job.

The apartments are pretty big compared to some other 1 bedrooms I have seen around town and are usually cheaper. The complex doesn't have as many amenities (they close the pool really early where other complexes leave it open year round, no dog park) and management can be a pain sometimes but all in all its a good place to live.

On move-in day, Autumn Woods gave me and my roommate a filthy, below-ground apartment that had a horrible insect infestation, dozens of millipedes crawling in nightly. They failed to effectively fix the bug problem for months and finally relented to our demands for a different unit. They provided no compensation and didn't pay for moving expenses. When they asked us to renew for next year, they offered a 30% rent increase. Incredible!
Many classmates had similar frustrating experiences. The management company is focused on getting by with a skeleton staff and racking up fees ($30/mo for storm drains!). You might get through the year with no problems, but good luck to you if anything goes awry.

It seems like the employees prioritized making it look like "luxury" to get a higher monthly rent. However they are terrible property managers. I've had mold, cockroaches, leaks inside and more. It's been months we have been complaining but they still haven't resolved out issues. They always say they're shocked it hasn't been dealt with yet. However the same thing always happens, someone new will come, look at the problem say they will fix it by the end of the next day then disappears with no follow up.
