Legacy At Linden Park

Apartments
There are some options available to living in the Lynchburg area: Rent or buy.
On the rent side, there are a variety of these apartment complexes in the area which offer pretty much one-​stop-​shopping: Fully equipped kitchens, pools, washer /​dryer (extra charge unless you have our own), onsite laundromat, onsite gym, business office area and even a large theater you can use. Legacy does it pretty well.
There are roughly three major sections, with maybe 8 buildings per section.
The apartments are functional — there could have been some better thought on the layout, particularly on the living rooms where, depending on the size of the unit, you will have some odd wall space to put a TV against — so try to get some floor plans with measurements before moving
Most units have as many bathrooms as bedrooms, which is nice. Units are clean, and the appliances are in working order.
There is wall-​to-​all carpeting, so beware of that if you have allergies.
Maintenance is very quick to respond when there is a problem, and the guys are great about getting things repaired.
The place is pet friendly, which is nice but on the down side, there is a lot of dog-​shit in the grass behind the buildings, particularly the further back in the complex you go. For every person that does «scoop» their pet poop, there are far too many who just let Fido blow it wherever. Nasty. I have dogs and have a pair of shoes I wear that never come into my apartment as I am constantly stepping in shit. I realize that this is not exactly the fault of the complex, and to be fair, there are plenty of dog poop disposal stations and bags available, but they could try to enforce the picking up part.
On the plus side, there is a small dog run onsite– great for small to medium sized doggies, not very good for the larger breeds.
There is one centralized garbage dumpster in roughly the middle of the complex– so the folks in outlying buildings have to walk or drive their trash over to the dumpster — this can be a messy situation plus it is inconvenient to say the least.
There was recently a snow storm and it was a complete fail on the part of the complex to clean the parking areas. They did a few attempts at a plowing but that was all it was, and they never bothered to plow after everyone went to work on the Monday, which would have been the best time for that. Granted snow is rare in the area, which to me, is even more of a reason why you need to clean it as they do not know how to drive in it.
The location is pretty convenient to everything.
The entrance is a bit of a boondoggle though as you have to turn in over busy Timberlake road and the turn lane is a crazy hill /​curve with plenty of blind spots. Be extremely careful there.
Overall though it is a solid place. Prices are a little on the high side for the area, but in line with all of the other similar complexes.
Finally, the folks in the office run from full on awesome to just ok. Heather is the manager and she is probably your best bet there.
Give it a shot — definitely a good place, especially if you are only in the area for a short time.

Had I been planning on staying in Lynchburg longer I would’ve lived here for as long as possible. I have lived in 3 different places in Lynchburg and can honestly say that Legacy was my favorite. The management and staff were very friendly, helpful, and efficient. They were always available to answer questions and concerns via email or phone call and maintenance was very quick to complete requests. Heather, the manager, was extremely helpful and genuinely seemed to care about the people living there. The facilities are clean and great. Swimming pool, computer lab, movie theater, volleyball courts, gym, etc. Also, the price wasn’t too high, especially for the quality of the place. Definitely would recommend this place to any college students, young couples, or families. Great location and great experience!
