    This apartment complex is spacious, clean, and offers many amenities such as being pet friendly, having a pool, and a great gym. It is quiet with friendly neighbors and you can't beat the location. Highly recommend.

      The community is nice. The staff is friendly. Neighbors are friendly and nice. My apartment building is quiet. The office takes care of maintenance needs fairly quickly. There are plenty of kids around if you have a family. This is a safe and friendly community.

        Nice apartment complex on the southern edge of Portsmouth. Has a large recently renovated gym, in-ground Pool, and a grill/bonfire area. Maintenance is responsive. The leasing office is not intrusive. Dogs and cats are allowed with relatively few restrictions?A handful of dog breeds are prohibited and there is a modest pet fee. All units have a patio or balcony. Have never had safety concerns. Lots of families with kids and dog-owners. You are not walking distance from downtown Portsmouth but it's easy to drive or get an uber. Downsides: All leases are one-year leases. Rent keeps going up.

          We've had many issues with the apartment it self, maintenance does not know what speedy fix means. Have had dog attacks and many issues. Rent does not include absolutely anything you'll pay a lot more then expected.

            Relatively cheap rent combined with a mostly pet friendly attitude, as well as a convenient location near to a large number of work, shopping, and recreational activities was the deciding factor for choosing to move in here.

              I love the pool, fitness center and family showers provided, bravo! The laundry room (not the one near the office) needs to have the door repaired...it is always ajar, and leaves and debris are constantly entering, making it filthy. Also, it would be great if you would fill the children's playground with bark during the spring/summer...the raw dirt makes it incredibly dirty for the kids to play there...they bring it home and track it into the apartment. Thanks!

                  So far I love my apartment and the community. There are lots of dog owners and It's a great place to walk around. I was impressed with the fitness facilities and range of machines available. The location is great as well. You still get a rural vibe but very close to anything you may need, including the city!

                    Arbor View is one of the only options if you have pets and want to rent in the Portsmouth area. It is pricey but having your pets with you is worth it. The apartments are just okay and certainly aren't anything special but for the location and benefit of having pets it can be worth it.

                      I was moved into an apartment that was lived in by a smoker for more than 15 years. The apartment has reeked of smoke since. Despite 2 attempts to clean air with ozone filter and now continuous running of air purifier. I am a professional person and have my work clothes smell of 2nd hand smoke as are my young children's clothes, and my children are congested from the allergens. This apartment should have never been rented in this state.

                        It's a pleasant community. I only have one neighbor who wasn't very quiet, and they helped right away without it becoming an issue. I have never rented anywhere else so I can't really compare this community to others. We are pleased.

                          Awesome so far. We have just moved in from Connecticut. This apartment has good layout, enough space. Bathrooms are pretty small though, i mean really small . community space is good, play ground certainly needs up keeping. but overall nice community

                            So far it's very pleasant. The staff could not have been nicer. The apartments are a little less conditioned for the price. The location of the apartments make up for it. We love that it is dog friendly which was hard to find!

                              We chose this apartment for it's location, price, availability and pet policy. We liked the amount of space, size of kitchen and bedroom, and the amount of natural light. I really liked how clean the apartment was on move in, including clearly new carpets and linoleum, paint and appliances. Staff is friendly and communicative, pool and gym are new and well maintained.

My only complaint is sometimes it can take a while to get new utilities when the old ones are broken. The maintenance staff, however, responds to concerns quickly and they are very helpful.

                                      Awesome floor plans and family neighborhood. Pet friendly and fairly clean. Unfortunately, it is a smoke-friendly, which is not ideal for those with allergies, asthma, or young children. Nothing is mentioned in the disclosures about hazards (lead paint, mold, etc) and nothing is mentioned in the leasing documents.

Our only complaint is that the pool has been very dirty each time we've visited and that causes it to be offputting to swim in.

                                              Lovely place for young professionals, military families, etc. Pool and fitness facilities are awesome. Lots of doggies walking around. Very quiet inside your own apartment- not much noise heard from neighbors.

                                                Management has been very helpful both before and after the move. We had a couple of minor repair issues that were promptly addressed. Seems well maintained. Just checked out the fitness are and was very impressed.
