Amberleigh Shores

We now have to go to the office to get a pool pass anytime we want to go to the pool. They now close the pool at dusk. Gym is no longer 24 hours. Most amenities including the fire pit are broken, when you tour you can also see many of the broken grills/missing ones, but they did replace the none broken chairs in the pool to make it a different color ??. The apartment layouts are nice. I will update my review if I see any improvements. I’ve been here five years and these stricter rules will likely cause this to be my last, so many things they could tighten up beside this. Used to be a great community and everyone seemed to take care of it, now we’ve had a stabbing, break ins and can not use our amenities. The gates are always broken. If they fix the pool hours at least and get rid of the dumb pool passes (go back to the key fob) I will update my review and remove any poor remarks.

When I moved to Amberleigh Shores, I thought I would only be leasing an apartment for a year. As it turns out, I enjoy living at Amberleigh Shores so much, that I just renewed my lease for the 4th lease term! The property is always very well maintained, the staff is great, the maintenance team is really good about making sure everything is working properly, and my neighbors are great too. I've made a lot of friends too. We have many fun resident events with prizes, raffles, cook offs, wine tastings, and holiday celebrations. Another great thing about living at Amberleigh Shores is the location! Can't beat it. We have great restaurants, shopping, the beach, and the new bypasses close by. I understand we were recently nominated for Best Apartment Community in Wilmington by the Wilmington Apartment Association, so one more reason I am proud to be a resident of Amberleigh Shores in Wilmington, NC! 5 STARS FROM ME.

I had to rent my apartment site-unseen due to time restraints, but I had been assured by office staff that it would be like the model. When we arrived with hired helpers from back home, we opened the door to a huge surprise....no wood flooring, no kitchen island! For someone with a small dog and no kitchen table (we had a large island at our house we moved from), this was not acceptable. I had turned down multiple other complexes that were much nicer than this because I didn't want carpet. I didn't own a vacuum either! Unfortunately, there were no other apartments available for about 1-2 weeks here or at any other locations in the near proximity that had wood flooring. By the time we argued and worked out that we weren't responsible if carpet got damaged by my dog, my movers had to go home. so they got paid for sitting around. Then we had to hire a local college student to help. All these extra expenses were because the office staff was too lazy to walk across the hall and ask her manager to confirm this! Other issues: clogged pipes in bathroom, AC didn't work the 1st time it was 80+, bugs, & noisy upstairs neighbors. Pet policy is a joke! Pitt bulls, German shepherds, and many other dogs on the "not allowed" list are all over the place. I kinda think my upstairs neighbors have an elephant stowed away up there.?? Their dog is comstantly tramping around loudly and clawing at the doors. It shakes the walls in our apartment, but if we complain they will know it's us, so what does one do? There are no community events so the clubhouse is a waste of space. Been here 3 months and other than a quick hello in passing, there is no socializing and no social activities. Just not a warm placed. On a positive note, maintenance requests are always answered in a timely manner!

I work in the multifamily living industry and part of my job is to visit apartment communities in the area. Amberleigh Shores was one of the best ones in the city, so I moved here even though I work for a competitor. There are so many amenities, resident events, but also peace and quiet if you want to be left alone. I typically keep to myself but so many neighbors have been so friendly that it really feels like a community here. The location is great as you have easy access to shopping, dining, banking, and the highways to take you anywhere. The staff has always been friendly but the assistant manager Jessica, is the heart and soul of Amberleigh Shores. If you're looking to belong to a community, rather than just moving into an apartment, this is the place.

AMAZING! Love this complex and the staff. The rent is very reasonable for what you get. You can even get apartments with garages. There are three dog parks within the gated community as well as parks for kids. The pool is huge and has plenty of covered seating. The people are generally young professionals, young families, and retired couples. Everyone is friendly and it's a great community. They offer six month leases which is rare and they have two entrances and exits onto market. One with a light which makes getting out easier. Also the valet trash pick up is a major perk!!

I moved into my new apartment at Amberleigh Shores in April. The apartment community is beautiful and far exceeded my expectations. My apartment and the community came with all of the amenities I could ever ask for and then some. My new neighbors are wonderful and everyone at the leasing office has been very helpful. The complex is also "very" pet friendly and made this move a wonderful transition for my dog as well. Unlike most apartment complexes in Wilmington, Amberleigh Shores provides extra security with it's gated access. This was a bonus being a single female.

I will moving to Amberleigh Shores in May. The complex far exceeds my expectations. I am lucky enough to find a place that offers nonsmoking buildings. Since I will be retiring my unit is a one bedroom with a garage shared only by my unit and opening into my apartment. I work as a leasing consultant for a Senior independent living apartments in Northern VA. Amberleigh Shores even though not a senior property offers much more for me than a senior facility would. I am really looking forward to the move and retirement.
