The worst experience ever!

They.. affordable housing, the most inept and rude group ever. They refused to keep me safe. They said they would help with government COVID paperwork, they lied. They took my parking spot after it was paid for the year. Said it wasn't current on inspection.ā€¦Ā See More >

    Weā€™ve been through 3 managers in less than a year. In 2020 it was relatively quiet and you could sleep at a decent time. The hallway and stairs in our building were vacuumed routinely and garbage was picked up. The manager was in the officeā€¦Ā See More >

        I was skeptical at first, but this place turned out to be great. These apartments were built in WWII as temporary housing for bachelor shipyard workers, thus their small size. The buildings are sturdy and well taken care of. Be warned: if you're expectingā€¦Ā See More >

            I have lived at St James Terrace for 1 1/2 years. Prior to that I lived in a complex in Newport News, near CNU and a complex in Yorktown. St. James is much more quieter than either of those two places. This is a gemā€¦Ā See More >

                        The apartment building and community is very charming. But the older buildings require a lot of maintenance. Any time something happened (often with our plumbing) it took several days to a week before it was fixed. We'd often have to remind Flo that the problemā€¦Ā See More >

                                                    St. James is a community on 30th Street, where flowers bloom and the breeze brings in salt from the river. Where the sidewalk ends and the street meets the water, the grounds come alive with residents and pets; cooking, telling jokes, and enjoying the evening air. Amongst a landscape dotted with a shipyard and buildings of a bygone era, where the slow drone of ships drift in from the water, you will find an oasis of sun, flowers, and the cool poetry of the river. St. James is not a community you are likely to forget. Built in 1943, the buildings are invested with style and craftsmanship. The apartments at St. James are quaint; two story buildings, featuring hardwood floors and colonial moldings. The Peninsula Community Award Winning grounds are just beautiful. St. James also has a pool overlooking the James River, a private beach, and courtyard simply overflowing with flowers. There is a large Laundry facility with large dryers and a small lending library inside the building, also outs
