Tanglewood Lake

Beautiful scenery, quiet and staffing is very efficient. However the buildings are disgusting at this point. They haven’t been power washed in forever so the buildings are extremely dirty and buggy. Constantly killing bugs inside the apartment as well as around the door. The price is starting to feel like it’s not worth living here anymore.

Pros: Quiet neighborhood Friendly neighbors Dog friendly Lake front Roomy, spacious floor plans Cons: Geese are aggressive and dirty Lots of spiders Expensive Far away from shopping and entertainment

I do like the apartments a lot and I enjoy the view out our window and the balcony. The downside is the spiders. They're everywhere! They don't pressure wash the buildings so the buildings are actually quite dirty and disgusting. It's a pretty place but the outside of the building and the bugs inside are just nasty. The pool is pretty but usually crowded, the gym is small but it does the job, the gate never works, and I can't get over the bugs! Its in a nice location and the staff is super nice but sometimes I wish I could get out of the lease. I would give these apartments a 3 out of 5

I have been a resident of Tanglewood Lake apartments for almost a year and a half, and will gladly continue renewing my lease for years to come. Tanglewood Lake Apartments is located in one of the most desirable outlying Elizabeth City areas, right off of the Highway 17 bypass. It's most convenient for the regular commuter to the Hampton Roads area, as well as for the occasional Tidewater shopper. It's also close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina- a most beautiful, serene vacation hot-spot indeed. Living at Tanglewood is an amazing experience. I often spend my evenings taking walks along the lake watching the beautiful array of ducks and geese enjoy the peaceful setting, or walking to Walmart with my daughters for fresh air (and maybe a stop at the frozen yogurt bar, too!) Instead of spending your weekend undertaking DIY landscaping and lawn work, you're free to relax by the huge pool, or try your luck at fishing in the lake. (Both of these are favorites for my daughters!) Speaking of family, Tanglewood is perfect for everyone, and our community represents the epitome of diversity. As your priorities and life changes, so too do your options at Tanglewood. For the single working guy or gal, there are beautiful one and two bedroom apartments overlooking the lake with vaulted ceilings on the third floor. For the families, there are roomy three bedroom apartments on the first floor, with plenty of space for the kids to run and play in a safe, friendly, gated community. Furthermore, the clubhouse (which is available for tenants to reserve for private functions) is absolutely immaculate- it was perfect for my baby shower, and the money I saved on not having to rent a venue alone definitely helped me when budgeting for baby's arrival! There's also free Starbucks coffee available anytime during office hours as well as a business center and a 24-hour fitness center. Is that not convenient? No more excuses about living too far from the gym or not being able to go before it closes for the evening. Finally, none of these things would be possible without the hard working, dedicated management and maintenance staff whose tireless efforts ensure that you are never disappointed with your decision to be part of this community. The apartment manager, assistant manager, and leasing specialist all have outstanding personalities- I have never been more comfortable working with a group of people in all my life. (Seriously, if you're having a bad day, no one can cheer you up like Kim at the front desk!) They are all exceptionally friendly, down-to-earth, and always make you feel welcomed. While there are many different options for housing in the Elizabeth City area, no one comes close to offering the amenities, comfort, and service that Tanglewood Lake Apartments offer. All of these benefits give prospective and current tenants an unprecedented value for the area, and a place that one is proud to call "home". If you're in the market for a new rental, look no further than 3895 Waterside Drive. :)
