British Woods

When I moved to British Woods 2 years ago, I was downsizing from a house to an apartment. The washer/dryer hook-up was a big draw for me (no dragging your laundry back & forth). The 2/2 (surprisingly) has quite a bit of storage space - large bedroom closets, bathroom/linen closets, and several additional hall/coat closets. Love the fireplace. And the pool was definitely a deciding point for me...clean, accessible & well-maintained! Pets allowed, which is hard to find these days. The apartment complex is located within walking distance of a grocery store & gas station. With good schools nearby and sittting on the edge of a well-kept neighborhood, the apartment complex is clean & quiet. The management staff are always courteous, professional & quick to respond. After years of homeownership & the responsibilities that that entails, British Woods is stress-free living!

I am so happy I am living here at British Woods! I've been here only a short while, but it definitely feels like I have come home. I love my cozy apartment on this lovely, quiet property with real, established trees -- I love my covered deck -- I love that the staff strives to create a real sense of community here. The complex is conveniently situated in Oak Ridge -- close to everything -- and management has done so much to help make my move to this town-- a very frenzied time--go smoothly, which I deeply appreciate. I would recommend British Woods to anyone who wants to come home to a restful, peaceful place at the end of their day!

I have lived here for a little over 3 years, and my time here has been good, but management has not. They have improved, but there is still work needed!

I have lived all over the country and this is the ONLY complex where the manager cares what's going on. I've lived here 6 years now and don't ever plan on leaving! The maintenance staff has had a lot of issues, but the manager will make sure your problem is taken care of. I'm so glad she enforces the rules - I don't have to worry about riff-raff moving in and ruining our wonderful community.

I really don’t know how anyone gets rented to at these apartments. The office manager says apartments are available but yet when you try to come in to attempt filing out an application for one to get one, she says you just missed the rental within hours and then says the next available apartment needed is unavailable for another long estimate of months that she comes up with. This happened to me twice within 8 months trying to get an apartment. I was supposed to be on a call list for the next available apartment and I didn’t even get a call. I had to call the office back once I saw it available online. I even had someone else call later in the day and the availability date for the same apartment was a different answer than what I was told. I will no longer call to try to rent from there and after reading the reviews it doesn’t seem that I’ll be missing much. Very disappointed.

Overbearing property manager always citing the lease. Makes living there like living in jail all the while promoting home this, this is your home that. Pool closed in hottest part of the summer. Crazy rule about speed limit on property, which mostly applies to folks not well favored. Which is everyone! Blatenly lies on residents citing lease violation and threats of eviction. Slow to fix maintenance issues on property. Buildings on property need to be pressure washed on the outside. The property is office is always closed but property manager is frequently seen out walking the dog or something else. Probably spying on residents in violation of the lease.
