Mar 2018: I have been meaning to do this for a while now, and I am writing this on the behalf of my boyfriend who lives here and complains to me about it. If you are reading this, do not live at Townhouse. If youre trying to find cheap, don't do it. Spend more money and live at LUX if anything. The apt manager can never be accounted on to answer her phone - the worst at communication. The place looks like a dorm, for that you can live on campus. The washers and driers aren't in your room and may be a few buildings away (live at Rams for that). The rooms are paper thin. I can hear the person next door cough sometimes. It was not very clean and overall, just horrible. The best thing is I havent seen any cockroaches in the apt. Review from Google Jul 2017: I'm giving it a 1/5 star rating but really it should be 0/5. TownHouse Apartments are literally the WOAT. I honestly don't know how anyone has left any positive reviews of this place and it has me wondering if they were paid to do so. Yes, TownHouse is cheap and close to the UNC Campus, but it is not worth the $500 a month you pay for it (not including having to pay for your own laundry - $1.50 to wash, $1.00 to dry) and a $600 per year fee for parking, especially when there are other places close by for the same price that are much, much nicer.
From the outside, TownHouse looks live low-cost government housing and is very old. The parking lot is not very well taken care of and there are several potholes. The inside of the apartments are not much better. It is obvious that they have made little to no renovations to these apartments for years. Review from Google Jul 2014: After living here two years, I can definitely say I do not recommend it. From having an nonfunctional dishwasher despite multiple maintenance requests, to the mildewy and typically damp basement washers (2 washers and 2 dryers for dozens of apartments), to the shoddy paint job which made it impossible to close any of the doors when I moved in, and finally upon nearing the end of the lease, having maintenance surprise visit me at 8 am and proceed to tear apart my kitchen, for an unannounced remodeling, haphazardly leaving all of my dishes and food on my living room floor (not to mention the unsightly holes in the wall). I have not been impressed with the management nor the facilities of these apartments. Review from Google Dec 2013: From the outside looking in, Townhouse does not have an outstanding appearance and since the buildings are 50+ years old, they do have wear and its quirks. HOWEVER, do not judge a book by its cover. Some of the oldest books are the greatest stories!
Cliche, I know but the fact of how low the rent is, considering how freaking close Franklin St & UNC Campus is, I will put up with its quirks. What makes it even more worthwhile is the management who know Townhouse is not a 5 star Hilton hotel, but treat you as if you are a guest staying at one.
I am a college student living here for the 2nd year and already signing my lease for a 3rd year so clearly Townhouse is a place to be :) Review from Google May 2012: The management is really great - very friendly and quick to respond to any issues. The price is unbeatable, I spent two years here and loved every minute of it. Review from Google
