I've been here for nearly 3 years due to price and distance from campus, Chartre Oaks is fully liveable but a mostly annoying place for a 1 BR/BA. Management has changed 3 to 4 times since Janurary 2003, the newest is by far the best and most professional, but it can't make up for the years of neglect the place has gotten. Specifically, moving in, the carpets were filthy and stained, the bathroom sink had markings and the toilet was pretty shoddy with a rusting seat bottom. The AC is done through wall unit, but is extremely loud and, mine at least, isn't very powerful. In fact, when the unit actually died a year ago, maintenance showed up and attempted to fix it a grand total of 6 times, over the course of 2 months, before finally getting it working again at a lower setting. Took several months to get my toilet fixed (was leaking), asked to get it replaced but again, they opted to fix it, requiring numerous visits and more than a month, and now there's massive water stains throughout the bathroom. The people here, for the most part, are good honest people. We have a few occasional scene makers and suspicious looking folks, but I've never had an issue with anyone and have met several good people here. But yeah, while the new management is attempting to fix a lot of problems, I can't help but feel there's much better places out there. For anyone moving in, just be sure you see your exact apartment before you move into it.
