    Smith's Landing is probably the WORST place I've lived at, and I've lived in Blacksburg for over 8 years. And not because of the property, which is fairly nice, (but NOT WORTH the exorbitant rent rate). The experience was made ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE by the twoā€¦Ā See More >

          Hello. I'm sorry to learn you have had a bad experience with noise from your neighbors. Unfortunately, apartment housing isn't completely quiet. You will hear your neighbors from time to time. Please contact us so we may discuss this situation in more detail. Thank you.

We appreciate those of you who care for their pets not only on the grounds but in your apartments as well. Please feel free to contact our office at any time if there are any items you wish to discuss. Thank you.

Your building was finished July 10th however, the buildings near you are now being worked on. The exterior painting and repairs are scheduled to be completed by August 7th. Your enjoyment of our property is important to us however, the work being completed will not only extend the life of the buildings but also add a more pleasant environment for our residents. Please contact me personally if you would like to discuss this further.

                                        The walls are thin therefore nights are very noisy from the parties being thrown. Short of sending an email it's hard to report the quiet hours being violated. The maintenance staff is excellent. Extremely polite and clean. Never had anything but wonderful service from maintenance.

                                          Management is responsive and accommodating. Any issues are handled quickly and well. The apartment itself is nice and the complex is extremely quiet. I am older than the typical apartment dweller but there are no problems at all with living in this community.

                                            We enjoy living here. Some ammenities in the apartment are of lesser quality than they appear, but maintenance is good about replacing broken items. Additionally, easier access to recycling for all buildings would make this complex a better place to live.

                                                I had a great experience at Smith's Landing. I believe they offer some of the best apartments in Blacksburg, and most people are unaware of this great living space. Perfect if you enjoy a quiet community, with nice office staff, and a timely maintenance team.ā€¦Ā See More >
