  A good-quality apartment complex. Facilities are well-maintained, landscaping is excellent. Appliances are good quality. Soundproofing is rock-solid. Maintenance is usually very prompt about responding to issues. Location is unbeatable if you're working for a government contractor. There's also plenty of parking and they don't charge you for a spot. However, messaging from management and maintenance is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes you get an email, sometimes a note on your door. Sometimes you get a week's notice about something, sometimes a day, sometimes not at all. They also use a VERY strong-smelling shampoo on your carpet when you move in. Those with sensitive noses be warned, it took over 2 years for the smell to fade to something I would consider to be reasonable. If I ever left for a few days, I would be completely overwhelmed by the perfume for a few hours when I came back. The Enclave also doesn't let you to have your own grill, so that's a bit annoying as well. Also be warned: The Enclave is attached to the Beavercreek public water system with no water softeners, and based on what other residents have said The Enclave is not willing to let you install one, even it you do it on your own dime. Beavercreek's water is cartoonishly hard. Everything which touches the tap water will have visible lime scale after just a few uses, sometimes even after a single use. All of your dishes WILL be covered in lime scale if you use the dishwasher, regardless of what cleaning product you use. Anything that needs to be lime-free needs to be regularly soaked in vinegar to remove the scale. Plus it tastes awful to boot. I grew up on well water and ever I found to hardness so intolerable that I resorted to purchasing all of my drinking water from the store. If you make ice with the tap water, when it melts it will release visible flakes of lime scale snow (see attached picture). I cannot understate what a problem Beavercreek's hard water is. My guess why The Enclave doesn't want to install water softeners: any water softener that is anything short of industrial-grade simply won't cut it. I know because I've been in Beavercreek houses that have water softeners and even they have the same problems. There isn't a ton The Enclave can do about it short of installing a full-on reverse osmosis system, but it's something you should be aware of if you're considering any apartment or house in Beavercreek. Issues with tap water aside though, I did have pretty positive experience with The Enclave and give it an overall positive recommendation.

  Update, 09 September 2024: *Still* an outstanding location, with phenomenal staff. I would be very happy to recommend this as a high-quality location to anyone looking to rent in the Beavercreek area. Not just a great location, close to all the shopping of the Beavercreek area, but also top-quality administration and staff. I'd like to give an extra thanks to Brad from maintenance who replaced my range when it was broken - he's a real professional. Very happy to live here.
