This community is a wonderful place to live. The staff is very friendly, and their prompt response to maintenance issues is the best. Not only do they respond to issues in your own apartment, but they also keep up with everything. If the washer or dryer in the community area goes down, it is fixed within a day or so. They are very good at keeping everyone notified of anything that goes on, from annual maintenance to pest control. Great place to live

I've lived here 5 years. Its very quiet and a hidden gem in Chics Beach. Affordable and safe. We all pay attention to who comes and go's and my neighbors have been excellent. I reccomend this place to anyone looking in this area.

PLEASE LOOK TO LIVE ELSEWHERE. I don’t even know where to start with this review, so let me start by saying that yes the layout in the large apartments are nice, and the appliances all worked and looked good. But there’s a lot of negatives to living here. To start the manager here is extremely stand offish and not welcoming at all. Not sure if rude or just mean is the right word. All the way to the moment we moved out she just made me and my wife feel like a problem to her. Now small problems are the roaches that kept crawling out of vents and the windows. Our bedroom window would not fully seal closed so water would get in. The toilet is INSANELY close to the counter so there is very little room. Now when we moved in immediately there was a very obvious smell in the apartment. And the closets smelled even worse. We were told that there was a bad smell in the fridge so bad they had to bomb the fridge, which would make you think they would bomb smell the apartment? Nope. So they told us they would use a small ozone treatment which did absolutely nothing so they offered to paint in the closet which made the smell stick to the walls and made it worse. And we turned down the paint in the first place but they begged us to. And then when it didn’t work we asked for another transfer which we asked for, for months. We asked again and we were basically told that we already cost them enough money. The smell stuck to MOST of our stuff. We had to throw out all of our furniture, collectibles, clothing, posters. So much of our stuff is now thrown out. And months of storage unit we had to pay for, for stuff that we got out immediately. So she offered us to just move out within 30 days and gave us no specific date to get out and then would say “this offer will not last forever” and we did damage the carpet with a small amount of bleach because that is the measures we had to go to to try and get the smell out (which didn’t work) we had multiple family, and friends, to smell in the apartment and they all smelled it. So all in all this was an extremely bad experience. So if you’re looking for an apartment I would suggest looking elsewhere. If you want more specifics about this experience you can definitely reach out to me on Facebook under the same name.

Having lived at Lake Bradford for an extended period, I can share some insights about the experience. One significant aspect to consider is that the walls are quite thin, which means you often hear your neighbors' voices and music throughout the day and night. This could be a concern if you value peace. On the brighter side, I've found that maintenance requests are handled promptly and efficiently, which is a major plus. Whenever I've had an issue, the staff has been quick to respond and resolve it, ensuring a comfortable living environment. Overall, while the noise levels may be a drawback, the reliable maintenance makes living here more manageable.

The apartments are beautifully updated. The staff is professional and a pleasure to work with. Maintenance is on point. The community is safe. Convenient to grocery store, drug stores, gas stations, car wash, restaurants, and beach. I am very happy here, and everything has gone smoothly. Kitty and Jean made the process smooth and easy.

This is my second stay at Lake Bradford. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the apartments are updated and well maintained and the grounds are immaculate. Great location 1 mile from the beach and 1/2 mile to shops and dining.

I've enjoyed living in this community. First off the location is in a great spot. We are about a mile away from Chic's Beach. I love walking there and back for exercise. It's beautiful and I know with that trip I've gotten 2 miles. We are also located near great grocery stores, bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. The grounds are kept beautifully: hedges are always trimmed, grass is always cut, there's no trash or debris in the parking lot or on the lawn. If a maintenance issue arises, it is not long after a work ticket is submitted that the office reaches out to you to let you know your issue is on the schedule to be handled. Any maintenance issues are resolved in a timely manner. When I hear my friends complain complaints about their apartment communities. I can't join in on the conversation because Lake Bradford is definitely a place that I give tens across the board.

This is a very nice complex. The location works great for me, my unit is really quiet, the office and maintenance staff are fabulous, and a huge rental point for me was the full sized washer and dryer - located conveniently in the kitchen.

Moving to Lake Bradford has truly been one of the best decisions I've ever made. After a tough experience with a previous apartment complex in Virginia Beach, finding Lake Bradford felt like a breath of fresh air. From the moment I moved in, the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable, supported, and truly at home. Their kindness and professionalism mean so much, and it really shows how much they care about their residents. The community is beautiful and always spotless, with a peaceful atmosphere that makes every day feel relaxing. The maintenance team is quick to respond and incredibly friendly, you can tell they take real pride in their work. The location couldn't be better either, close to everything I need while still feeling quiet and private, which is the perfect balance. I honestly couldn't be happier here. Lake Bradford isn't just an apartment complex, it's a community that truly feels like home. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, welcoming, and well-cared-for place to live.

Best value at the beach
I am a long-time resident of this property (30 plus years), and I can attest that it is an awesome place to call home. The staff are superb, and the units themselves are meticulously maintained. The location is second to none, with everything that you could need in walking distance or a short drive. My only negative observation is the relentless landscaping which is way overdone. This can be noisy at times, and the landscapers tend to have little regard for resident vehicles. Other than this fault, the property is flawless and is highly recommended.

Staff is a huge factor in why I choose this apartment. They are trustworthy, prompt, reliable, and professional, from the leasing office to the grounds keepers. They make me feel very safe in my community. I love where I love for its location and comfort of the community. Yes it doesn't have the fancy luxuries like some new places. But what they do have i value more. Thank you lake Bradford.

So far it's been nothing but pleasant. The management company is really on top of things and they're always quick to respond and very communicative with any issues that I may have. The waitlist is long but worth it.

Staff is incredible. Any time a problem has occured it was taken care of quickly, professionally, and always above standards. The grounds are always kept in great shape. If the staff is exceptional and all is kept clean and in working order that will translate into happy tennants.

Lake Bradford is wonderful! It's clean, quiet, safe, and beautifully kept. The staff has been extremely helpful and responsive. The only downside is that there isn't a paved trail that you can walk all the way to the oceanfront on.
