Kensington Park Apartments

"Spacious apartments with great value for the rent! Parking is not an issue at all! Returned full deposit with only final utility bill deducted! Greatest renting experience ever! Only left due to moving out of state."

"Edit: I'm moving into my second property with Trinity, and they are still beyond great, especially Sam! Quick with maintenance and super responsive to any issues we have. Super spacious apartments with huge windows, and great prices! Live here!!!! While I have not moved into my possible new apartment yet, I really have to write this review for the front office. They have helped me by bending over backwards to help me get approved, answering all my annoying questions an emails! I had a couple nicks on my credit report- nothing major, but most big complex companies would have just shoed me away. Sam took the time to listen to my circumstances and really understand my life/rental history. What a team, especially Sam! Also the PRICES! In this economy it is nice to see one bedroom under 1k! We are looking forward to moving in!"

"I had a good experience for the 3 years I lived here. The front office was always quick to respond and maintenance was helpful as well (usually resolved within a few days or the same week). They installed a washer/dryer while I was there which helped a lot in terms of convenience. Kitchen is small but that's the norm with apartments in the area. The main room (for the one bedroom) is pretty large and awkward but it's good in terms of flexibility. Noise was okay too given that Avent Ferry is close by, but I was further in. The buildings by the road probably have a different experience. In terms of roaches I would say it was about average. I saw them maybe every month or so during the warm months, and they were the outdoor variety so they weren't nesting or anything (the German ones are the ones to watch out for). Pretty sure they were coming in through the patio door, which it's easy to seal up the gaps. They weren't enough of a problem for me that I did that though. I credit pest control for coming by regularly and keeping numbers down. I'll lastly say the price and rent increases have been reasonable (especially their student rate) and is one of the few reasonable price per area options near campus (and honestly Raleigh given the nonsense housing market). In short it's not *cheap* but a much better value than any other place I've been so far. Overall I enjoyed living here and hope that they continue to be a good value option for years to come."

"I lived at Kensington Park Apartments for two years and REALLY regret moving. I lived in a large, one bedroom apartment. The speed of maintenance requests, the friendliness of the maintenance staff, the fair pricing and the renovations outweighed any minor complaint I had during my stay. I also appreciate how honest they are about security deposits. In my previous experience renting complexes would always try to find any reason to keep part of my security deposit no matter how spotless the place was when I left. At Kensington Park, I received my whole security deposit back. These are the biggest reasons why my stay here deserves a 5 star review! As far as other reviews go, there are trees around and a little creek that runs near the complex, you’re gonna see some bugs yes, but coming from someone terrified of any type of bug, this place is not infested with roaches and no where near close to it. I would see maybe one or two bugs a month and I did my own preventative measures on top of them coming to do pest control every 3 months so most of the time the bugs were dead. If you’re concerned about bugs the office stay will gladly schedule pest control. The complex is older so walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors so I would recommend asking for a second floor apartment if noise is a concern of yours. Although my stay here was wonderful, I’d like to offer just a few notes for improvement. When I first moved in I didn’t have a washer and dryer in my particular unit so used the community laundry room, these areas really need more attention and need to be serviced and cleaned more often. I decided to go to a laundry mat because the condition of the community laundry rooms. A washer and dryer was installed in my unit halfway throughout my stay so that was no longer an issue. Lastly, the common areas at each building, such as the walkway and stairs could be cleaned more frequently, especially after any renovation projects. This is a great place to live!"

"We have lived here for close to five years and our experience has been amazing. The management has always been helpful with regards to any maintenance issues we had. We were living in a 1 bed + study apartment and the apartment was really spacious. The apartments are located close to NC State University, Lake Raleigh and Food Lion. The wolfline and CAT bus stops are nearby too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for their next spacious home with a quiet neighborhood and a helpful management team."
