The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The Residences at Forest Grove
Applied to rent here and was originally told a July 15th move-in date, sign a bunch of paperwork and provide requested documents, 15th comes around and they have some temp there that has no idea about the move-in and get told the move-in is now the 20th with no prior warning to this change. Call at least a dozen times during this timespan and the temp leaves a note for them to call and I get ZERO CALLS or emails for almost a week. Today the 19th I FINALLY get a call and it's to tell me the apartment won't be ready until the 29th! How are you going to advertise an apartment is ready for move-in on the 15th and then have it be TWO WEEKS late??? No communication, no service, no transparency. I can only imagine how poorly they treat the people that are locked into a lease contract.
I've heard gun shots but I really enjoy my property. I do not have any issues its normally quiet for the most part. There was that stray bullet one time but nobody died.. It did out a hole in the guys wall a couple buildings over. Other than that though its decent. Kids live in the community and they aren't annoying. I do not live in a building with kids though.
Spacious living room and bedroom, nice balcony. Everything was great, except for the waterbugs everywhere outside at night that appear in your home.

We want to thank you for taking the time to give feedback about your recent experience. Allow me to apologize on behalf of our team. You can reach me anytime at michelle.guthrie@thalhimer.com. Respectfully, Michelle Guthrie - Portfolio Manager
This was my first apartment, everything looks okay from the surface. staff seems friendly but it’s all a lie .Apartments are unbearable noisy. You can literally hear every step the upstairs neighbor takes.Very sloppy renovations floor coming up everywhere,kids running around all day and night yelling. Staff is a joke and once they get you to sign that lease they could care less, Have common sense and don’t move out here
This is my first experience renting an apartment, but I’ve spent years in them when I was younger and this was my worst experience ever. We’ve had bug problems since about a month and a half after we moved in and we’ve told the office several times and the problems never been fixed. They send exterminators out and spray the baseboards and that’s it. Then they come back a few days later. Carmine is absolutely heartless is doesn’t have time for anything but payments. The maintenance staff is quite nice but not helpful. The seal on all of the windows is messed up and they’ve never came and fixed it after being told multiple times.
Lazy, rude employees in a drug den of a neighborhood. 0 compassion from management. Mediocre maintenence.

My apartment is a cozy 1 bedroom. The complex is located in the heart of the Denbigh section of Newport News,Va. I am right next to a shopping center with a grocery store, laundromat, and several other businesses. What makes it so nice is that i am only 10 minutes from work.

I recommend anyone to move here if you are in the area of Newport News Virginia. Why do I recommend this apartment complex. Well the staff is what made me not ever want to move. They gave me and my mother a chance when we didn't make enough money. My mom passed away last year , My leasing agent Crystal was the most compassionate person that I ever met. Not to mention that when it comes to them fixing things and making sure you are comfortable they go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. I love Misty Woods and I intend on being here forever I found my perfect place.

Misty woods has been eye opening as to the type of property I do not want to live. The manager is inexperienced and not people friendly.

Misty woods now in 2014 verses misty woods in 2007 is totally different! Back in 2007 the maintenance men actually did their job, the leasing people actually make sure everything was right with your apartment, and it was just easy as pie. Misty woods now it is a bunch of crock! I really hate this neighborhood! The leasing girls Jen and Denise are so ignorant and annoying. I never met a bunch of rude girls in my life!! They have no manners, they can't even do their jobs, and they act like they are slow. They don't fix your stuff, I should have known something was wrong with this apartment community even apartment when my apartment wasn't move in ready, & I have yet to receive my referral cash since I referred somebody about 3-4 months ago.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I would like to share that in August 2015 we purchased the community and began an extensive exterior renovation. We have several residents that have returned to make Merrimac Springs there home with us. We hope that you will give us a chance to prove that we love our residents and that we strive hard to provide a positive neighborhood that people are happy to call their home. We invite you to come by and see for yourself the difference. Carmen Ford - Merrimac Springs Apartments
