This apartment is located at a great location and has reliable transportation to school. The community is well-kept and has ample amenities for anything you could need. The amenities in the apartments are not new but they are in great condition.

    Overall my experience with the apartment has been pleasant, however, there have been issues with cleanliness before we moved in, trash outside, parking spaces, the automatic gates being locked as well as the outrageous visitor regulations. In my opinion this apartment is not worth $700 a month more like $500 tops.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback - we do value your input! As for parking spaces, we have the most available parking of the surrounding student-oriented properties and we do enforce towing for those without resident parking passes. Our visitor parking spots are on a first-come-first-serve basis. When it comes to visitor regulations, we certainly do not regulate who can and cannot visit the property as long as they gain access from a current resident to the parking lot. While our vehicle gates have undergone continuous improvements, we have sent out emails to residents on how to appropriately access and exit the property. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office - we are always happy to assist and answer any questions or concerns you may have! Overall, we're happy to hear that your experience has been a positive one.

      Like many student apartments Aspire will try and make the complex seem like it's a great and wonderful place to live, but that has not been my experience. When I moved in there was a number problems that should have been fixed before I got there. Two of the bedrooms hadn't been cleaned from the previous tenants and I had to move all my stuff out so they could change the carpets because they failed to do that before my move it date and it was delayed a week longer that it was supposed to be. The staff even tried to argue with my roommate that her room had been cleaned when it clearly hadn't. There was a huge burn mark on our counter that was going to be fixed a week before I moved in but almost 4 months later it still hasn't. However, I don't blame the maintenance because there is only a small number of them and they are always friendly, blame for these problems fall on the poor management. There is also only one dumpster which often causes there to be an excess amount of trash. At night you'll be lucky to find a visitor parking spot for your guest and the parking space are so small it always feels like you're going to hit other cars.

        The move in process is fairly easy and the staff is super helpful. It was easy to adjust to the community around aspire because the other complexes are full of college students as well. Aspire 349 also hosts events for the residents to part take in which is really nice.

          The sense of community as Aspire is practically nonexistent. Events are attended in spurts and people are often rude and or very standoffish. The staff does appear to try with fun and interesting events, but the results remain. This may also have to do with so many of the residents being students. Besides the standoffish community the main negative for me is the gate. The gates here are now open to anyone and defeat the whole purpose of having a gate. The walk in doors that are supposed to be magnetized, are not. Anyone can come in at anytime and as far as anyone knows, they could live here too. The security that I see walking around every now and then does help reinforce the sense of safety.

            Thank you for your feedback - we appreciate you taking the time to share! We do pride ourselves on hosting numerous community events each month, with the intention of bringing the community together. As for the gates, we've had continuous work done on them with the intent to improve their functionality. Throughout the work being done on them, we have emailed out instructions to residents on how to utilize the gates while they are a work in progress. As of now, all vehicle access gates are all secure and locked. We do recognize the patience of our community while they are a work in progress, and we greatly appreciate it. We do also provide nightly security who conduct rounds each night on property, we also have an after-hours courtesy officer who lives on site, and we also provide 24/7 staff response for any issues or concerns after-hours. If you have any questions about these resources, please do not hesitate to ask!

                I've tried for 4 years to live in this apartment complex. I finally got to live here my senior year and that apartment I got was underwhelming compared to tour apartment I was shown. The actual apartment I was assigned is fine but being shown this really nice apartment and then to have to live in this avarage apartment is a bit disappointing.

                  there are very solid living accommodations but rent is a bit pricy. The appliances that come with each apartment are nice and I'm working condition and the main office is kept pristine. The landscaping is mediocre as is pet regulations.

                      This community is very nice. One of my favorite things about this community is the price of the rent and everything that you get for the price of the rent. Everything is included. Also, our apartment is very nice and we enjoy living here.

                          Aspire is a decent place to live, there are large living rooms and kitchens to go along with rooms that are already decent sized. Balcony area is nice, if youre not first floor at least. Aspire is okay

                            Office staff is very responsive and helpful. Inside of the apartments is clean and nice. Exterior is a little worn down and dirty, but some of that is tenants not respecting the property. Overall a good community.

                                          Ive lived here for three years and enjoyed my time here. The 3rd story view of the pool was great and all the amenities in general are too! Everyone I have met the past few years have been great and made some good friendships too!

                                            So far it has been so good although I think that the office staff move at a slower pace than needed. Amenities are pretty good and well maintained but wish that some of the doors would work and exits and entrances of the complex. Why pay for a place when half of the public entrances don't work?

                                              Thanks for sharing this review -- we appreciate the feedback! As for the entrances and exits of our gates, we have sent out emails to residents on how to appropriately access the community using the gates while they are being worked on to operate at a high standard. Since this is a gated community, we have continued to have a visitor entrance and a resident entrance. Please continue to check your email for updates as we keep perfecting our vehicle gate access system, as we do explain how to utilize the secured resident and visitor gates with designated codes for the entrances and exits for residents. However, we do greatly appreciate your patience as we perfect our gated system!If you feel the gates are still not operating the way that they should, please do reach out to our staff and we would be happy to assist or follow up on the concern.Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do to continue to make your living experience at Aspire 349 a positive one!

                                                I've been living at at Aspire for about 3 months and everything is very nice here. I've recently just came from a different complex, and the comparison to this one wins. The interior of Aspire's apartments are the nicest I've lived in so far. The flooring, the appliances and etc. are all new. The outside of the apartments are very nice too. The grounds workers keep it clean and cut as well. Additionally, the amenities offered like a pool, a study room, fitness center, a Starbucks coffee machine, and much more is what makes this place awesome. I have no complaints. I tell my friends about Aspire when they're looking to move somewhere.

                                                The apartment is a good value as it is cheaper than most in Wilmington! However, it was not cleaned before we moved in which was an issue since our apartment doesn't look anything like the model apartment they show for tours. It is loud and overall sort of dingy, but is what you'd expect from student housing. The staff have been nice and the amenities are pretty good!
