Customer Service

Shamicka was very accommodating with my needs as I required assistance very close to closing time. She let me in and took care of my needs in a professional and timely manner. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for any other needs I have.

      Very family friendly, accessible and well maintained. People who have pets can easily accommodate them, residents with children can use playgrounds to entertain theirs. Parking space is plentiful and we enjoy our feeling of security in our immediate surroundings.

        We are very happy with this community, the staff and the unit we're currently living in. For our commute the location couldn't be more convenient, never had issues with parking, love the community amenities. By far this has been the best experience we've had when it comes to renting.

            Shamicka Great customer service best practices like valuing customers' time, having a pleasant attitude, and providing knowledgeable and resourceful resources, but that you also take things a step further to exceed rather than just meet expectations

              Great!

              I really like the amenities offered and the neighborhood it’s in. The office, pool, gym, and conference center are all very well kept and new. The apartment is spacious and well-priced. Everybody at the office is nice and very helpful, especially Shamika who greatly helped with my touring experience.

                  It has been great, the walls are thin, but overall the community is very nice. It isn't a dead town there are children running around and college students having fun making it lively. It is a great space.

                      It seems you may have had an issue with your work order. I'm sorry but I don't see your contact information if you could reach out to us in the leasing office at your convenience I'd love to go over your specific issues and get them fixed as soon as possible.

                        it was all good and if there is some problem in the house they rapidly come and fix the problem and it is all free. Also, the neighbors were good and had lots of pets which are cute. Easy to throw out some trash.

                            Overall, community is great and feels safe. You often see people with children or dogs walking about and it feels like a little community with the trees surrounding, isolated from the outside city. Immediately adjacent neighbor's sounds are non-existent, though upstairs neighbors movements are accentuated with the lack of noise insulation and creaky ceilings.

                                  Fairfax Square had good communication and responds promptly via the website. Most of the noise is from water/gas maintenance, trash disposal and groundskeeping. Hopefully the pool will reopen this season after the pandemic.

                                      First walking into the club house at Fairfax square my friends and I received a nice and welcoming greeting from Shamicka. She then did a run down of everything we needed to know about the apartments and living there and answered any question that we had. Afterwards, she gave us time to talk and made sure to check up on us if we had anymore questions. Unlike our first visit there, she walked my friends and I to see the apartment and showed us where to gym and study room were. She was very friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed her as our guide. Overall, she did a wonderful job!

                                            The office staff is nearly impossible to get ahold of and parking is an absolute nightmare. None of the apartments have much natural light but other than those issues it is a safe place to live and it's very walkable.

                                                Things have improved since the leasing office communicated with the downstairs neighbors who were always fighting and yelling. Though they have not completely stopped fighting and yelling, they have decreased their behavior.
