The Oaks is an awesome apartment community. My husband and I lived there 2-3 years ago for about a year and a half and we didn't have any problems. Donna was a great manager and anytime we had any problems(which was rare) she was eager to help us. I think she's a great manager and really cares for the tennants (sometimes allowing them to slightly bend the rules, to make them happy). The apartments themselves are great, in great shape and very cute and liveable. The area is well lit at night for walking but not too bright. My husband and I loved to go for walks in the evening, and the complex is very safe with plenty of sidewalks. We never had any problems with our neighbors and parking was never an issue. My favorite thing about living at the Oaks was the homey feel of the apartments (they look more like little houses on the inside than apartments) and sitting on our balcony. Most apartments do not have balconies like this one and it was a little paradise with all my plants and lawn furniture. Also it is very convienient to 15-501 and US-1. I drove to Chapel Hill everyday and got there in about 35-40 mins, and my husband commuted to Holly Springs in about the same time. In-other-words GREAT location! Biggest con...I can't think of one :)
Pros: Great apartment, location, hassel free living, good management
Cons: can't have fish tanks..other than that none
