Nice quite and great lighting!

Comfortable spot for 1st time renters as all basic utilities (electric/trash/sewer cable) are included in the base rent. It allowed us to assist our son when needed. Recommend without reservations!

Quiet and Affordable Place to Live

I’ve been here for about 3 years now in two different apartments. It’s a relatively quiet place to live and everyone mostly keeps to themselves. Landlords are quick to respond to emails and quick to fix any maintenance issues or requests. Only complaint is the parking lot isn’t the best.

3/17/25

Safe and quiet

I love it here. Quiet tenants that respect quiet hours, secured building with a lit parking lot that has working cameras. The landlords are very friendly and responsive. Walking distance from public transport, restaurants and antique shops, while also close to 95 without the crazy overcrowding traffic you see in Chesterfield and Richmond. The library (which is amazing) is just a block away and there is a farmers market every Saturday just a few blocks down hill. The parking lot is small, but there is a ton of street parking. Soon there will even be a rooftop bar opening just around the corner in The Petersburg Hotel. Great location, good walkable entertainment options, amazing landlords.

Tenants are prioritized here!

I’ve been at Butterworth flats for 6+ months and I have loved every bit of my stay. The all inclusive apartments are modern and clean, hallways and entryways are always spotless. My neighbors and I keep to ourselves but for the most part everyone is friendly. Management goes above and beyond to ensure all tenants are satisfied and respected. 10/10 would recommend. I definitely plan on staying here for the next few years.

Peaceful place

You can definitely rest easy here. There’s cameras up and plenty of lighting in the parking lot. The units are spacious and have their own unique design. The hardwood floors are amazing. Tall ceilings with the open concept makes it look even bigger. I absolutely love my unit.

Clean and Quiet

Clean property, quiet living spaces, and excellent location! Can walk to the library, bank, post office, shops, the Hilton hotel next door, and enjoy the historic town!

Perfect Location

Overall, I highly recommend Butterworth Flats. The location is unbeatable, with access to the city's vibrant art district and all its rich history. The building itself is a unique blend of modern and industrial architecture, with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and beautiful exposed brick. Plus, the staff is incredibly helpful and responsive, making living here a breeze. Additionally, the online portal makes communication and addressing concerns a seamless process. It truly is a gem of a place to call home.

Hidden Gem

Butterworth Flats is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the city and surrounded by the rich history of the art district of Petersburg. The building's contemporary modern industrial architecture is a refreshing change from traditional cookie-cutter living. With features such as vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, concrete floors, and beautiful white walls with charcoal grey trim, this building exudes character and charm. In addition, the staff makes living here effortless by providing a convenient portal for residents to communicate any concerns. Overall, I have been living here for a few years and couldn't be happier with my experience.

THE BEST IN DOWNTOWN PETERSBURG

Butterworth has been the best living experience I could ask for! High ceilings, plentyyy of cabinets and space, washer/dryer with a RELIABLE maintenance crew and EVERYTHING included in the rent. Last bust most certainly not least Ms.Noelle is the best landlord ever! What more can you ask for?
