We lived at The Marquis for two years and loved it. The location is great: Close to NCSU, but not so close you're in the college community; close to downtown, but far enough away to not be in the traffic; Crabtree Mall is just down the street.
But what made our stay the best is the staff. Office personnel are always friendly and will do whatever they can to help you. Maintenance requests are handled efficiently and quickly. We never waited more than 24 hrs for a request to be addressed, and everything was always taken care of completely.
The community is quiet. The gym is adequate for your needs. They keep the pool open longer than just summer by opening some time in May and waiting until it finally gets too cold (usually October) to close it up.
If we ever need an apartment in Raleigh again, we'll be back here!
