  My time here was mostly a mixed bag. i’ll start with the good, in terms of rent, they do have competitive rates as your not going to find a 1400+ sq ft apartment that was built this decade for only $2100, so i’ll give them credit for that. The gym amenities are great, a lot more variety then what i’ve experienced/seen at other apartment gyms. Maintenance is always quick and friendly and they also have a regular rotation of food trucks which is nice to see. my interactions with the front office have been pleasant for the most part. More to that point i’ll push back on some of the reviews i’ve seen here. A lot of the reviews seem to speak on negative experiences people have had with Nicole, the property manager. But I have to say in my interactions with her she has always been pleasant and extremely helpful. Specifically when it came to resolving a dispute I had, she was very understanding and resolved the issue to my satisfaction. So contrary to many reviews i’ve seen, I have to say my experience with her was very positive. Now to the inconveniences, for one, pests. particularly during the spring and summer months, pests were a substantial problem. i’d wake up to dead lady bugs on my window seals everyday, a multitude of ants present in both bed rooms and steady stream of spiders, worms and roaches throughout the living areas. maybe me being on the first floor contributed to the problem but it was pretty much a constant battle for about 8 out of the 15 months I lived here. part of the issue I feel is probably the insulation and another part of it is probably structural. To that point, another issue u had was my windows were not properly sealed and this was overly apparent during winter time as my daughter’s room was ice cold every night. I could literally feel the cold breeze pouring in from the window. in addition to that, the AC in my unit went out 3 times over the course of my lease here. each time I was left without AC for weeks at a time, in the spring and summer months, and while to their credit they did provide me with a portable AC, it was a recurring inconvenience that isn’t ideal when you have a toddler. another recurring issue was the the dishwasher. I put in multiple service requests explaining that the dishwater/plumbing was not working properly. for reference, I literally could not run the sink faucet for more then 5 mins without water backing up into the dishwasher and the only way to drain the water out is to run the dishwasher, which would constantly leak water on the floor. so for the better part of a year, I literally did not use my dishwasher. I do think the apartments are decent and have a lot of potential. If not for the recurring issues I listed above I probably would’ve renewed my lease, because I did really like the floor plan and space that was provided. But unfortunately, for 2k+ a month I expect not to deal with some of the issues that I was plagued with during my stay.

  During our apartment search, Sandra was absolutely wonderful! Even though we didn't have an appointment, she graciously fit us in for a tour and made us feel incredibly welcome. She gave us a fantastic tour and continued to check in with us throughout our search, keeping us updated on new apartment availability and options that matched our needs. Sandra truly went above and beyond to work with our preferences and budget, and we really appreciated her dedication and excellent communication. Although we ultimately decided to lease with a different apartment community, that decision was based solely on location and the specific features we were looking for, not because of our experience here. Our experience with Sandra was exceptional, and we would absolutely recommend working with her. Thank you for making our apartment search such a positive experience!

  I’ve been at James River @Stony Point for 5 months now and have nothing but good things to say about this complex and the staff so far. Sandra is the best, maintenance quickly responds to requests, they keep the complex very clean, and there’s always fun community events going on.

  Moving to JR at Stony Point was a great move for me. I love my apartmemt, it's the perfect size and location. The apartment complex is beautiful with well maintained gardens that bloom all year round. The common areas are always clean and updated. I thought moving ftom a house to an apartment would be difficult. After 2 years at JR Stony Point, I wish I had made this change earlier.

  Cannot say enough good things about this complex. Clean, well kept, and quiet. Management team hosts community events frequently with free food, drinks, music, and giveaways. Always get a fast response from maintenance. Great location, price, and facilities.
