What Residents Say

Stunning views and responsive maintenance shine when you can reach the right person, but recent residents struggle with pest infestations, inconsistent paid services, and persistent noise from thin-walled units. The leasing team (especially Desiree and the now-departed Christian) charm new prospects, yet move-in readiness, gate enforcement, and office communication have deteriorated. Long-term residents pay for trash, pest control, and amenities that don't always materialize, while staff turnover has shifted the property's early energy into frustration for many.

Key maintenance staff like Ricky, Joe, and Mariah deliver when called, but the front office struggles to bridge gaps. Security feels compromised: gate remotes don't prevent break-ins, and management claims they cannot enforce closure. Reviewers report ticks causing chronic health concerns, roaches in new units despite pest fees, and unresolved issues stretching weeks past move-in. The property advertises luxury and control, yet residents paying premium prices report living conditions that fall short of that promise.

  • exceptional maintenance staff (Ricky, Joe, Mariah)
  • friendly leasing team (Desiree, Christian)

Best for: Couples and young professionals seeking luxury views and quick maintenance response, willing to overlook noise and manage service gaps independently.
Think twice if: Pest-sensitive households, long-term renters relying on consistent services, and those needing reliable parking and quiet environments should explore alternatives.

Common Renter Questions

How fast does maintenance respond to AC failures?
One-hour response during peak summer reported by recent reviewers; emergency window units provided while repairs complete.
What is included in lease rent?
Trash valet service and pest control are paid amenities, but residents report these are inconsistently delivered even after charges are applied.
Are there parking guarantees?
No. Parking near buildings 8 and 9 is tight on weekends; no meaningful enforcement of vehicle limits per unit; paid guest parking available but cost is unusual for the area.

When maintenance staff respond, residents praise them by name; RJ and Jemlix fix air conditioning, washers, and locks quickly. Leasing teams earn compliments for making moves feel safe and personal. However, the complex struggles with slow work-order turnaround (weeks to over a month), dirty hallways with trash and debris, and elevators smelling of weed. Management makes parking and lease-term policy changes without proper notice, towing cars without informing residents. Pool enforcement is lax, with unauthorized parties and drinking. Some residents report broken appliances left unfixed for months, making the luxury positioning feel hollow.

Enclave At Dominion

4.3(277)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

The front office, particularly Shawna Crane, earns consistent praise for patient, personable service during leasing and move-in. Maintenance requests get quick attention, sometimes within the hour. However, move-out billing creates friction. Residents report disputed charges, poor communication on deductions, and aggressive fee enforcement at lease end. Deeper concerns emerge in longer-stay reviews: mold, roach infestations, appliance failures, multiple shooting incidents over six years, and vehicle break-ins. Cleanliness standards appear to have slipped under recent management, with dog waste and debris in common areas. Weekend breezeway cleaning causes noise complaints. Staff professionalism at intake contrasts sharply with tenant reports of dismissive management at departure. Security and maintenance quality appear to depend heavily on tenure and timing. Newer residents and those in good standing report smooth experiences; longer residents cite deteriorating conditions, unresponsive management, and fees that feel punitive rather than justified.

Long-term residents and new prospects consistently praise the leasing team (Olga, Kayla, Natalia, Brandi, Raymond) for quick, genuinely helpful responses and the maintenance crew for same-day service. Apartments offer spacious layouts with abundant closet space, free covered parking, and resort-style amenities including a pool, CrossFit area, and gym. However, multiple reviewers over the past six months report escalating vehicle break-ins and package thefts happening regularly. Frustrated residents say management acknowledges the problem but offers no real solutions, communicates defensively, and shifts blame to tenants. For buyers prioritizing safety and security, this recurring conflict between praise for staff service and deep concerns about crime should weigh heavily.
