Lake Johnson Mews

I love living at Lake Johnson Mews. The apartments are all totally renovated and really nice. The complex is just so unique and beautiful. The location is perfect.. The complex is the only one right on Lake Johnson, so there are a ton of nice trails for running, biking. You can fish and rent boats. My neighbor took a sailing and stand up paddle boat lesson. The pool is awesome during the summer; I met a ton of people there. There's a big dog park. You're close to everything... about 5 minutes from Crossroads.. stores and restaurants. Maybe a 10 min drive to downtown and right down from NCSU. The staff is awesome, maintenance is quick and friendly. I've been here for 2 years and don't want to leave! more

The Apartment seemed nice when we moved in, i was a little bit disappointed when the kitchen wasn't the same size as the model. However i thought it was nice being that close to the lake. We had a lot of problems with getting a broken door fixed in a timely fashion, a few times, our dogs got out because the back door wouldn't stay shut. One day a water valve broke and they had to shut off water to the entire complex, it took me an hour to finally get in touch with a member of the staff to find out what the hell was going on. I know they had no control over the water situation, but it would've been nice to know what was going on. I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you are will to trade good customer service for a mediocre view of lake johnson. Pros: close to lake johnson, cary, and downtown raleigh Cons: everything besides the above more

The staff is not helpful at all. You can never get in touch with them. The maintenance is slow and unproductive. They use the excuse that they don't have the money to fix anything. I spent a week without water. They have been saying they will fix my door that will not shut or lock for over 6 months. I am terminating my lease and they are making me pay out the wazoo. I got a lawyer and he said it is not worth it cause they are such a big company. Pros: Close to Lake Johnson Cons: Everything else! more
