We moved into the Shangri-la townhomes 1.5 years ago. In the time that we were there we had an excellent experience! The parking is very specific to your place, so you'll never have to search. We discovered little playgrounds at other little holiday park apt. inlets. The AC and heating works marvelously - very expensive in the Winter thanks to Dominion People's Gas. The washer and dryer in every unit was SOOO convenient, as the mother of 2. The units are open spaces, so it makes the place seem larger. The 2-bedrooms that we occupied were actually quite large. On the occasion that we needed maintanence they literally came the same day to check it out and fixed it either that day or the next.
The only detractions were these: You're not allowed to paint, which bummed us out at first, but we realized that that's what kept these older aparments in the good condition that they are in. There were silver fish and cenitpedes, but they're not infested with them, just every now and again. Other minor problems is that the age of the buildings leads to a little insulation problem in the winter. And there were some potholes in the parking lot.
However, the staff are fantastic (especially Elaine and the secretary). The walls are not sound proof, but the neighborhood is rather quiet, so everyone was respectful of socially acceptable times to keep it down. We happened to have the best neighbors: friendly, respectful, family-oriented.
We would loved to have stayed here, but my husband and I left for work reasons.
Seriously, if you're looking for a safe residential area with a country feel, pretty nice apartments and at a descent price, then you should move here.
P.S. Noone paid us to say this either, like at other apts.
