Staff & maintenance are slow to respond to calls. Management seems to be very focused on saying no as often as possible to requests for assistance. My tub water drains back into the tub. The front doors at many cottages let rain water in. It seems to be fixed.

I am enjoying my time spent here. I particularly love the home like apartments. I have a front porch and a fenced in backyard. All of this makes me feel like I live in a homey environment.

I have been here a year since my first review. I am as happy with the unit and property as i was a year ago. I think the apartments are well built, thoughtfully designed and function very well. My biggest complaint is the lack of shelter or shade in the dog park. Anything (picnic table covered by tarp) would help in these 90 plus days for dogs and owners.

I moved to the Cottages at Brightleaf sight unseen and am very happy I chose to live here! They made moving from out of state a breeze. I enjoy the new complex, not having anyone living above me, and having access to lots of walking in a clean and relatively quiet area. Living here has been a great choice for my dog and cat as well. I would recommend living here if you want a quieter and more private space.

So far, coming from another state- it has been a smooth experience. Maintenance team, lead by Thomas did a great job resolving a lighting issue.
