Link Apartments Glenwood South

"Have had terrible experience after terrible experience. Link has currently implemented an annual week-long fire alarm testing. This is damaging myself and my neighbor's hearing. It goes off for the entire day, about once every hour. The animals in the building are completely overwhelmed and stressed out. I feel so terrible for the small children and newborns in the building. It is so excessive, they are entering every unit without proper warning. The alarm can be heard from behind the gramercy building... On top of that, they have charged me pet rent for my service animal the first year, are unable to enjoy the pool with the never-ending construction, the first day I transferred into my new unit my door was off the hinges and busted (when maintenance attempted to fix it TWO MONTHS LATER, they did not schedule a time and knocked unannounced). Absolutely love the location but there are too many cons. This will be my final year here."

"For the price (1 bedroom is about $1,700) the Link is one of the best living options in downtown Raleigh. Here’s the challenges: •The noise level is one of the most significant challenges. The trains are very loud (blasting their horns at every crosswalk) and run late at night and early in the morning, causing daily sleep disruptions. •The dumpsters are located directly outside on the sidewalk. •The resident parking garage has a very limited amount of spots, with no available guest parking (there’s 2 guest spots for the entire building). •The building is across from the 42nd Street restaurant, so there’s loud activity outside every evening. •Dogs have essentially no place to go potty (there’s a tiny dog park, but it has turf and isn’t intended for potty). There’s almost no grass surrounding the building, and the very small spots of grass have broken beer bottles and dog waste in them. •The unit smelled of a very strong chemical for the first several months, even after opening the balcony door for hours each day. •The pool is very small and has frequent closures. Here’s the good stuff: • Good location if you work downtown. • Close to restaurants. • You can walk to a lot of places. • Building is fob access for safety. • Parking garage is gated. • Price is in the less expensive range for downtown."

"RPM Lisa A. at Grubb Properties is the only competent person related to the Link Apartments. All of the other staff members are either flat-out super rude or fake nice until the second you leave the room. Cockroaches galore no matter how many times pesticide comes. The neighboring walls are super thin and the Link staff did not do anything to help when the girl above me would scream all night long at her boyfriend every night. The Link claims they have a courtesy officer available 24/7, but this position does not exist anymore. The pool area is positioned perfectly to be blocked by the building and never have sun on it. Save yourself a million headaches and just don't live here. Definitely not worth the price."

"Everything about The Link Apartments Glenwood South speaks excellence. Before I moved in, I worked with Ashley and she had gone above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible experience. Throughout the whole process and after move-in, she has provided me great recommendations and very quickly answered all my questions over email/phone. In addition, she worked so diligently to allow me to move in at a very short notice. 1. With the complex being right at the heart of downtown, you are only a few steps away from many of Raleigh's best spots. 2. They have an amazing lobby where you could watch TV, work from home, and meet other residents. The free Starbucks coffee in the lobby will sure turn you into an overall happier person. 3. Neighbors are really friendly and management organizes a plethora of events to help residents socialize. 4. Apartments are clearly new and very well designed so you can take good advantage of every square foot."
