105 Friendly

"Beautiful building and great location. However, don't plan on having a/c or working lights for a month while in the middle of the Summer; your service requests and calls will never be answered by this atrocious leasing office. Wait! There's more! You think clearly there would be some changes made after such an ordeal and clear lack of oversight. Think again. My dishwasher was broken for a month before it was replaced, and the front door of the complex has been broken for a month and is still broken. Management continues to dodge multiple residents calls and requests to have a working front door, on top of other outstanding service requests in the building. The excuse I was given for our front door was "we're ordering parts." I didn't realize it took over a month to fix a front door and order parts. Surely one month's rent from all the building's tenants could have paid for a new front door key fob unit, but that would be an inconvenience to the leasing office. Save your time and money folks. Thank you, Anthony McHale for you and your office's continued efforts towards making 105 Friendly the place not to live."

"I recently moved into Friendly Apartments as a NCSU sophomore. I am pleased with the spacious common area, living room, and kitchen and I love having my own private bedroom and bathroom. The building complex is secure and quiet. The location is perfect since it is right on hillsborough street where all the other college apartments are located. There is a "real' college atmosphere in this location and we are close to shopping and eatery. Friendly Apartments is also within walking distance to Talley Student Union, Fountain dining, the library, and all my classes. My family and I spent a great deal of time researching the student apartments near NCSU and one of the biggest factors that we found with Friendly Apartments is its property manager's honesty and sincerity. There are no "hidden costs" or rent changes etc. After a lot of searching, it was a relief to find someone with such integrity. A big "Thank you" to Deanna Sweat for all her help and support through the rental process."

"I’ve lived here for two years now. The first year and a half was great! Friendly management, quick maintenance, etc. Ever since they switched management companies a few months back, it’s become awful. The new management company, Wilson Property Management, has completely turned a blind eye to resident needs and furthermore have begun charging fines and fees for simple things such as turning off our fire alarm (which we were never charged for before, and we can’t turn off on our own) and attempting to arbitrarily fine residents when issues arise and management is unable to determine the cause. Given the high cost to live here, along with the lack of amenities, I would highly recommend searching elsewhere if living near NC State."

"Great location! Within minutes of main campus and all the restaurants Hillsborough St has to offer. The apartment has a really nice kitchen and living room area. Plenty of space to have people over. Love the fact that I don’t have to wait to use a bathroom since everyone has their own. Overall a great experience and would recommend anyone to stay here."

"I lived here for 12 months and loved it. The building manager is very responsive and the online maintenance requests are addressed quickly. This is a great place for a student or young professional. Lots of restaurants and nightlife nearby and only a few minutes walk to campus. Friendly neighbors and a great Thai restaurant & bar on the bottom floor of the building!"
