Property Manager at Flats on Front, Responded To This Review
We greatly appreciate and thank you for your five-star review!
Just moved to wilmimgton. Your on site staff has done an amazing job helping make the move. You have a golden trio!!!!
5 Stars - enough said.
The steadfast devotion, professionalism, and due diligence, of the Flats on Front management, and staff; undoubtedly, make Flats on Front a safe, clean, and welcoming community to reside in.
the community overall is very nice. The staff are pleasant and accommodating and attentive to any request. The hallway rugs need to be shampooed more often and the paint touched up.
Great place to live! Friendly staff! Very quick response if you need anything fixed.
We find living at the Flats has been overall a nice experience. The location convenient with nice amenities and a welcoming community. One down fall we find is the cleanliness of the common areas.
I really enjoy living at Flats on Front. Having never lived in an apartment before, I was unsure if I would like it. But I can highly recommend apartment life now!
Flats on Front is a safe, friendly, clean community; furthermore, all of the staff are courtious and professional.
Wonderful place to live. Lots of dogs kinda like Noah?s Ark for Canines.so you better like animals, lol. Great amenities. Neighbors are quiet. Privacy a plus though. As long as the residents take care of what we have here and everyone does their part to take care of what we have, I recommend it 5 stars! Pool is so nice!
Quality. Great floor plans. Awesome stats. Location cannot be beat. The building staff works hard to make it a home for everyone here. Keep up the great work!
Great place to live, with all of the amenities and location.
Love it here! Great management and staff! Nice location! Friendly residents! Fantastic amenities!
Apartment was amazing layout, quality of materials, great opportunities to decorate with the exposed shelving, and amenities. Being few minute drive downtown to great restaurants. A possible walk to downtown but a little far to do regularly, but on the other hand also nice to be near the new riverfront park.
My family and I love living at Flats on Front. I never thought I would like to live in an apartment, but I have enjoyed my time here. The amenities are great, the maintenance team is the best, and our neighbors are very friendly. It is so convenient living downtown, and we can take the Wave Trolly, walk, or bike to all our favorite places.
The complex seemed like an amazing find in Wilmington sadly it has become a bandaid complex that has quite a few improvements to be made. Its feels silly to be paying the amount we do for certain issues like parking gates and water leaks should not be an issue. It seems every time we adjust or feel comfortable in our apartment then something else has to disappoint.

My family and I have enjoyed living at Flats on Front for the past 5 months and we didn't think that we could ever live in an apartment after living in a house. The transition has been easy and all the staff is eager to help in any way they can. Best decision ever, and I don't have any yard work to do!

We are so excited that you are loving Flats on Front and that you are happy that you made the move. No yard work is definitely a bonus! We really appreciate your feedback and please keep it coming!:-) -Cary, Community Manager
Flats on Front is the best apartment community in Wilmington. The front office is super friendly and treat my dogs as their own. The community is beautiful and always clean. The gym is incredible for those wanting to cancel their current gym membership, plus they have a Hydrow! You cant beat the location and I never have to worry about parking since they have reserved parking. I love living here and would highly recommend!

We really appreciate your review and love that you love living at Flats on Front. Please continue to let us know how we can make improvements to our community. -Cary, Community Manager
Weve only lived here a few weeks and overall, so far its been a good experience. The management has been pleasant and responsive to any of our questions upon move-in. There is a lack of enforcement of the garbage and parking rules which we wish would be addressed because its going to lead to an overall decline of this place over time, particularly with the garbage violations that are allowed. Its disheartening to see.
