Hudson at Renaissance

It is the worst and NOT a luxury apartment. We pay higher rent and the building is disgusting. Dog hair and dirt on every stairwell. The main door leaks water and the carpets have mold and their way to fix it is to put another carpet on top, and that is mold on top of that one too. The inside doors are so dirty. We pay for garbage (valet and outside bins) -the valet goes when they feel like it and the bins outside are so gross and always full. We pay for pest control and haven’t had our... apartments sprayed in months. We have NEVER had a new air filter in 12 months. Will we get reimbursed or credited; no. The walls and floors are so thin so you can hear your neighbors (doing everything) from every angle! The cabinets and drawers are so cheap and flimsy. The coffee machine is always empty and the coffee beans are locked with a bicycle lock so the tenants cannot refill it. The dog poop bins are overflowing and dogs bark nonstop. The pool is dirty. The gym is dirty. The halls are dirty. No community stuff at all. There are so many other places to rent in this area that actually care. Glad to finally be out of here! Read More

I want to give praise to the maintenance team. I can’t say enough good things about them. They answer requests before you can blink an eye and it is always with a smile.

There will always be new apartments that might be prettier, but it is the staff that keeps ya!!! I am probably one of the few residents that moved in when first built and I can say the place looks exactly the same. It is clean and always smelling good.

My hats off to Deja in running a tight ship. Everyone seems to get along... and enjoys doing their part to make this the best place to live in Wilmington, NC.

Thank you for making this a community. I plan on being here forever. Read More

Let me start off by saying the staff were great, maintenance was exceptional, and the location was an extra added benefit. They try hard to bring in fun activities for community events.

I’ve read multiple 5-star reviews, and I moved there based on the reviews. However, the apartment complex isn’t for people who don’t like or have pet severe pet dander allergies. You share common area’s with pets. Some are rather large dogs. Common areas are elevators, stairwells, and narrow hallways. There were... times when I’ve used the stairs and there was pet urine in the stairwell. Twice I’ve had dogs jump on me, multiple times bark at me aggressively and witnessed dogs running down the inside hallway without a leash. There are always going to be owners who can’t control their dogs, but it’s more noticeable when the common areas are located inside the building.

Most people aren’t aware their dogs stink, and the inside hallways (in my opinion) smell like dogs. They vacuum the hallways, but I don’t know how often they clean the carpet. I have severe pet dander allergies, and each time I step outside my apartment into the hallway my allergies flare up. This only happens when I'm entering or leaving the inside hallways. There is no escaping it since I must go through the hallway to get outside.

Also, if you have small children, there really aren’t any areas for them to play around the complex.

I wish I would have done my due diligence and researched the apartment complex, instead of going off the reviews. If I had, I would have moved to a complex that had outside entry points.
