  The maintenance technician came here a few days ago is excellent. However, he took away my living room plastic blinds (which fell down). He said someone will come with a new one and install. I am still waiting.

  The staff was great in assisting with the moving process. I think the apt unit could be better cleaned. I found the sink in the bathroom leaking. The kitchen cabinet doors were loose and difficult to open and close. The smart door lock did not open and close properly. Still waiting on internet to work.

  I lived in the graduate student side of Foxridge (Hethwood) for the entirety of my graduate degree. It was my first apartment and first time living alone, and I enjoyed it. Pros: The Hethwood properties have clearly been renovated more recently than Foxridge (I had friends in the undergrad side), convenient, free parking for multiple vehicles, balconies (I was able to see the mountains from mine!), central a/c, and I was even able to get in unit laundry despite signing on to my lease relatively late, albeit it was a portable washer and dryer. I had virtually 0 pests, but I also lived on the top floor. We got the entirety of the security deposit back. There’s also so many bus stops, including the time stops for HWB/HWA/HWC, which made it really convenient to get to campus. You certainly won’t need a car. The gym and pool(s) are also pretty nice, so it has any amenities you’d want. Cons: Usually maintenance was timely, but occasionally they were very slow, which I wanted to assume was based on ‘triaging’ issues, but with the replies here I’m Not as sure. For me, for the vast majority of my time there I did not have the electric lock on my door because it broke twice and they never came to fix it. The second time, it locked me IN to the apartment and the woman on the emergency maintenance line was pretty rude about insisting it wasn’t an emergency when I couldn’t get out. I had another issue where gas would rise in the plumbing pipes from lower apartments around the time the heat would turn on, and it smelled SO bad. Maintenance came and tinkered on things, said it wasn’t sewer gas from my apartment but was coming up from below, and that they couldn’t do anything else. I just didn’t use my bathroom for a little while and kept that door shut, but if you have kids or medical issues or no friends in the area like I did, you’d have been stuck between a rock and a smelly place. I’m, also, not the hugest fan of the Xfinity monopoly on the place. I HAD to have my consoles plugged into Ethernet to get them to work. I didn’t live there by the time they overhauled it, so hopefully it fixed speeds. Overall, I’d say with the inflated rates for rent in Blacksburg, Foxridge/Hethwood was not a bad choice at all. On the Hethwood side it’s all families and grad students for the most part. I’d recommend living here and would do it again.

  They had 4 people working for their biggest move in day so we waited an hour before we got to actually talk to someone. Then when we finally got the welcome spiel and our code the code to our door didn’t work. I tried to go back to get it fixed but they went to lunch for an hour so we had to wait and didn’t get to move in until like 4 hours after we got to the welcome building the first time :(
