My husband and I lived in one of the rental townhomes for about a year back in 04. Overall, the experience wasn't bad.
It was cheap, the structures are older and many of the appliances and fixtures were rather dated, but as I said, it was cheap. We had the 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath model. Rooms were on the small side, and there's not much storage. The area is okay and generally convenient to local amenities and PAX--except that goddamn left turn onto Chancellor's Run road (there must be 5 accidents there every day). The rental office was always friendly to deal with, and they were very prompt about sending maintenance personnel over when we had issues with the old appliances. One of the big perks for us was that they allow small pets (for a fee, of course). Only a few decent rental places around here do that.
The townhomes and apartments of Wildewood are much nicer, but I've heard they're harder to get into.
Good luck with the impending move.
