Feb 2019: My wife and I absolutely love this apartment complex. It's perfect for graduate students, with many families spanning old and young. The apartments feature new roofs and central a/c, as well as ample and lovely midcentury modern built-ins, including bookshelves and dressers. The grounds are peaceful and park-like, including playgrounds, picnic benches and BBQ pits, a community garden, as well as volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts—even two adjacent soccer fields! All of our work orders submitted online through the university have been completed within a day, and the maintenance and office staff are always pleasant and friendly. The community regularly offers events, including Thanksgiving dinners, cultural celebrations, and group trips to fun destinations such as D.C., Greensboro, and First Fridays downtown. Living at E.S. King has made my wife and I feel very welcome and part of a community here at NC State while I pursue my masters.Feb 2019: So convenient, close to grocery, restaurants, etc.
It is a bit quite, and isolated from students life. more suitable for familiesNov 2018: Good place to live. Very quiet and apartment manager is very accommodating. Review from Google
Sep 2018: Decent accommodation for the price. One thing I loved was that you dont have to pay rent if youre a student and you go home for a month or something.
Jul 2018: Need to be a student to be able to rent here. This place is a very old construction and has a roach problem. Like a serious roach problem. The heater is ineffective and the room AC is too loud. The manager, Rena, is the best though, always helping out students! Despite it's issues, there is great maintenance and service always! Laundry is outside the apartment. I would not have left this place if it wasn't for the serious roach problem that these older constructions at ES King have. I miss the lawn and the pleasant ambiance!
Feb 2018: Most of the time NCSU housing has been very helpful to me, but because of the way NCSU housing set up there housing selection for the 2018-2019 school year, I am unable to live on campus. When I called there was no correct answer for why it was set up that way besides "sophomores need to live on campus" that is understandable but what about the upper class-men who have lived on campus all the years they have been here and never had problems. What about the ones who live on campus because of FA, scholarships, or other situations. The students who were becoming seniors and some juniors got last pick and by the time it opened and I signed in there was no rooms left because lower class-men had taken them all. It was so uneven and unfair to people who need/have to live on campus. Im very disappointed in this situation and the fact there was no right answers or nothing that could of been done was disappointing Review from GoogleFeb 2018: Made it required for freshmen to live on campus, and now I can't live on campus next year.

Jan 2017: This was my first apartment. I didn't realize what a great deal it was until I moved out. The included washer/dryer combo in my two bedroom was absolute crap. They're one unit designed to do both.The washer held about 6 shirts, the dryer simply cemented the shirts together... The price per sq ft is something I'll never have again. Buy a clothes hanger and you're good to go. The lack of ceiling fans and adequate lighting is a little crappy. You won't find a better deal closer to campus.

This is because there are many companies who have interns coming for the summer in the area. Couple this with the fact that interns prefer to live in an...read more
Jan 2013: I currently live in Western Manor and it has been a wonderful experience. I have a newly renovated kitchen that works wonderfully and the staff is absolutely great! Any questions I ever have are answered promptly. The rent is affordable in comparison to similar college-geared complexes and the space is great! Tons of closets and plenty of space for anyone. The neighbors are almost never heard, the complex is very quiet. While the balconies could use some upgrading, we have been assured this is in the works. Overall, there are almost never bugs and the exterminator usually comes as soon as there is a problem (I've had less than five jumping crickets, that's all).
