Review for Grafton Station Apartments

Okay where do I begin... the staff is very friendly when you first meet them and move in, but after you live there awhile you meet more than just the one friendly staff member and realize that there are about four other staff members who are rude and incompetent. One in particular should never be allowed to work in customer service. She is completely biased towards males and never smiles or helps anyone with anything. Even if you pay your rent on time, they treat you like you are a dilinquent renter. In addition, the apartments are VERY old and everything in them is VERY old. For example, my shower handle broke and when I went to a hardware store to see about replacing it, the worker told me "Good luck, because this thing is 50 years old". Also, the wall space is non-existant. Good luck finding a place to put a bed, couch, chair, dresser, or any assemblance of furniture. The workout room is a complete joke. There is ONE treadmill and ONE elliptical, a crappy excuse for a stereo, no AC, and is open at limited times. When I moved in, the pilot light was out on my gas stove. So the entire place smelled like gas. I had to call VA Natural Gas to come shut it off while I was moving stuff in. The apartment also looked like it hadn't been cleaned very well and there's mold in every window sill. The maintenance staff is the one good thing going for it. They are prompt and very friendly. And the parking I think is abundant, though others may complain. I have NEVER had a problem getting a parking space. Speaking of parking, the lots are well lit and the area is reasonably safe. So if you are just looking for a place with an AWESOME maintenance staff, great parking, and pretty good safety, this is the place for you... just know you will be paying an arm and leg for a living space the size of a cardboard box with a staff who don't give two sh*ts about you.
