I rented at Pine Knoll Apartments in the late 90s and then again in 2009. Both experiences were great. I am a single male that had a 1BR/1BA both times and was on the inner circle facing the large pond in the center of the complex. The amenities, price, and management were all great. I mainly rent in consideration for a washer and dryer in the unit and this facility had the W/D in the kitchen area. The only challenge I had was concern for a neighbor a couple of buildings down that had the police visiting with them several times, but I was never concerned with my safety. My neighbors were nice and I never had a noise issue. As far as maintenance, I would call and within 24 to 72 hours someone had visited and fixed whatever was wrong (several issues initially when I set up satellite TV and cable internet through Pine Knoll, but these were resolved eventually). Parking was never a challenge and I was close to downtown and the highway. The office staff were generally nice to me and they remembered my name even though I rarely visited them and only stayed for about 8 or 9 months. I'm not sure if there are issues with the 2BRs or for families, but as far as a single male with a 1BR/1BA, I was very happy with my experience and if I came back to town, I would definitely rent again.
