I am convinced any review above a two star rating is planted by their staff or family members. German cockroaches infested my apartment the entire time I lived their, not one or two mind you, I could kill up to ten a day in the warmer months. Someone stole my welcome mat after moving in, I've caught people trying to steal items out of my truck, and the police are consistent visitors to the property for domestic violence situations that I have witnessed. Also found a drunk guy passed out in his car, parking lot drinking is very common. My neighbor has a Pit bull (not supposed to be allowed in the complex) that they let out off leash at night because they are too lazy to walk it. My apartment constantly smelled of marijuana seeping through the walls from neighbors. Management demanded (without 24 hours notice) that you remove all the linen from your mattress an leave bedroom doors open to inspect for bed bugs or they threatened to fine you $50. The pool is rarely open, (closed memorial and labor day last year) never opens one time during the summer. There are fiestas in the parking lot Friday and Saturday night with loud music. Recently, after moving, they are demanding I pay extra because I turned in my keys on Monday of a holiday weekend (moved out Saturday, office was closed Sunday for Easter, I turned keys in Monday morning.). In my opinion, an overall disgusting experience, would give zero stars if possible.

Royal park is just a few minutes from Franklin street and few minutes from a couple shopping centers with food lions also about 8-10 minutes from walmart. The staff at Royal Park are warm and inviting as well as willing to work with you to achieve the best outcome for everyone. I would also definitely recommend taking a tour of one of their newly renovated apartments either at Royal Park or University lake if you enjoy using all new slick and modern appliances and countertops.

I am completely satisfied with living here Bert, and the staff is attentive to every need we have had,and they responded to all our requests in a rapid fashion, I would (from my personal experience) highly recommend Royal Park if you are searching for a great living environment in a great city

Moved here from GSC property in Raleigh POA 2 months ago. I'm so glad that i did! My experience since ive been here has been so positive! The office staff here are so professional & helpful! The maintenance staff here take pride in keeping the grounds here looking good, unlike where i came from! Maintenance is always entering your apartment to make sure that there are no issue with rodents, vermin which i truly appreciate! There was a instance at POA is voiced my concerns about rodents, insects, etc at POA & was told "well you do live in a apartment " WHAT!! i voiced my concerns here at Royal Park before moving in & was told they try to stay on top of things,(which they do) but its also the residents responsibility to keep their unit clean! I see that they're also doing improvements around the property! Just fixed the steps leading to my building, it makes the appearance so much more appealing & functional! I feel that they take pride in what the property looks like! Even though some of the staff may not reside here they want where they work to look good, because it is a reflection upon them!! This is a far cry from where i came from! My son & girlfriend were looking for a place in raleigh & askes about POA, i said NO, lets find something else. We found Artyn Bryne near N Hills...They love it! When i first visited them i was truly impressed! It too was a far cry from POA! I recommend a GSC property just not POA! Even though that property is owned by GSC the management is the pits there! Im not gonna slam POA in this review, but i would highly suggest a over haul of that entire property & staff! Royal Park is always sponsoring events at the property.....passing out breakfast sandwiches to meet & greets! Im so happy here at Royal park. ..I feel like i could stay here for a while & be content until i purchase a home! I GIVE ROYAL PARK A HIGH FIVE!!!!! I'm looking forward to see what else Royal Park has to offer me as a resident! !! I highly suggest this property to anyone who's looking for a convenient, clean, well-maintained property with an awesome staff thats friendly & truly care about this property! !!! Bert, Andrea & all the rest (sorry i dont know all your names) YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!

When I moved here, I wish I knew what I was getting in to! They knew when I was moving in. Much tommy surprise, my stove and my refrigerator was in the middle of the floor in wrappers. I died laughing thinking they thought I would install it. My fridge didn't fit. They made scratches in my wall. I ended up getting 4 fridges because of dents and scratches. Some of my outlets didn't work. My keys had to be remade as they didn't work. When I went to get them redone, I was told by he maintenance manager in front of me that he couldn't do anything about it. The music was horrendous. At about 10-2 almost every night, music would blast so loud that my floors and windows on my apartment on the third floor. Trash and cigarettes were everywhere. Beer cans all over the place. Trash all over the stairs. I am sure that the fire department would LOVE to see the amount of bikes in a stairwell. The front office never did anything about it. People need to learn to drive slower. They drive too fast and hit your cars. The tow truck company comes early in the morning. There is some lady that sells food out of the back of her truck. Um....no. Glad I am gone.

I selected this community because it was the most affordable in the area. The apartment size is nice and they are newly renovated. The staff is great and they are very helpful with the residents.

The apartments aren't worth the money, in my opinion. They are decent, but they need new windows. Whoever paints the apartment paints everything from the stove to the fridge and the cabinets, and pieces of paint falls of of things and stick to the floor horribly. The office staff rarely answers the phone. I can call 5 times, then walk up there and they are all sitting around chilling as if the phone hasn't rang. Some of my neighbors are loud, ESPECIALLY the ones above me. They play loud music that makes my ceiling thump and shake and they walk so hard I feel they're going to come through my ceiling. It's a place to live, but needs some improvements. And it to mention, the last 3 months of my stay here my apartment became infested with roaches. No matter how clean I was, no matter how much I bleached, they took over my kitchen. Maintenance came and sprayed and seemed to make them worse. I had to buy sticky traps and spray and defend myself until I moved out.

The apartments are very spacious: the only drawback is that you have to share the apartment with the various critters to which the complex is home, such as half-foot centipedes and brown recluse spiders and German cockroaches. The local economy is booming. Not a day goes by that I don't see some fine white rocks change hands in the parking lot or in the hallways. The residents are lively, blaring their shitty music well into the early hours of the morning, and sitting on the steps drinking single Modelos and tossing the cans into the bushes. Luckily, the police don't frequent this place much. Also good: most of the residents pack so much heat that the maintenance doesn't seem to need to service their heating units in the winter. A few issues the place has, though, are the cracked foundations which allow heavy rains to seep into your living room, under your bed, and onto your dog; the leaks in the pipe system which result in artificially inflated (read: doubled) water bills; and the rotting-but-painted-over wooden cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen. Also, occasionally, the washers and dryers will be put out of order when the residents rip open the coin slots with their fingernails to retrieve the quarters therein. Oh, and the mold. The mold that resides in every wall of the house and causes your throat to close up and your sinuses to produce chunky white material that's chewier than cartilage. All in all, I give this complex a 4/5, if only because I've lived at Estes Park and it was somewhat worse, and the company owns/has run train on both complexes.

After staying here for six months, I would definitely recommend Royal Park to a friend who was looking for an apartment. It's in a convenient location by car, and the community as a whole is very well kept. It doesn't look like an upscale complex from the outside, but the interiors of the apartment homes are very nice and spacious. Because it's in Carrboro, the rent is cheap relative to other complexes, but its location is great. This is definitely an ideal place to live.
