Barracks West Apartments

My boyfriend lived at Barracks West for about a year, and I considered moving here myself until I had an encounter with their Management. There is one nice woman who works in the office, I think her name is Rhonda? The other women seem to have God Complexes.
I came to stay the night with my boyfriend one night and noticed that there were some women out in the parking lot with flashlights checking for parking permits, as I did not have one I quickly went over to ask if there was somewhere I could park where I would not get towed, they asked me who I was and why I was there and made me feel like some kind of criminal for coming to stay the night with my boyfriend. They then proceeded to give me a very vague description of where the visitor parking might be located, by pointing a finger and saying «that way». When I asked them to elaborate they simply turned away from me and started laughing. It was not until another resident pulled up and I asked him where I might park and he was more than happy to assist me, meanwhile the two women stood 5 feet away in their cheap power suits from JC Penny laughing and offering no help. Last time I checked management is supposed to MANAGE their property, not let other tenants do it for them. It was like they wanted to tow my car. These ladies are single handedly deterring business by being so blatantly rude and unhelpful, not to mention unwelcoming. I would never recommend anyone live here.

Avoid at all costs!
The management here seems to treat every encounter with a tenant as a way to extract money and time. Want a copy of your lease? $ 5. Want to get the code for the laundry facilities? $ 20, I have heard. Want to get a parking permit? They want a photocopy of your vehicle’s registration and insurance. The list goes on.
God forbid you have a maintenance request; their favorite answer is «no,» as in «no, we won’t do that.» It turns out that according to the management, their maintenance people don’t do anything– which is funny because if you actually *speak* to one of their maintenance people (despite all their attempts to prevent it), they’re perfectly helpful.
Their apartments are run-​down, their facilities are pathetic, and their management runs the place like an internment camp; you can do better. Since they’re not near *anything* in Charlottesville, you can almost certainly do better *and* live closer to whatever it is you want to do.
