Since all of these reviews Chadwick has had a complete management and maintenance change. We take pride in Chadwick and strive to make it the best place in Starkville to live. It is very a peaceful and quiet place to live that is within walking distance to campus. Feel free to stop by and meet Amanda the new manager or go to our Facebook page to checkout Chadwick Place Apartments.

New management is awful. I lived in Chadwick previously (about 4 years ago) and had no problems whatsoever. I moved back here last spring because it is a great location, very spacious, cheap rent, close to campus, no extra pet fees. Since then, the management has taken a turn for the absolute worst. Snarky notes left on our doors, maintenance men come and go (are fired) every few weeks. The current maintenance guys are painting the apartments, building new decks, etc....but what we were told would be completed in about a week has been dragged out for over a month. I am typically pretty empathetic to this kind of stuff, but I have reached my breaking point. They will start one project, "finish it" (very half-assedly), and continue on. But in reality, they did not complete the task. The paint on the front buildings is incomplete and has been for about a week, splotches of the blue paint are everywhere still. They also haven't mowed the grass since they started doing the renovations. Grass in some places in the complex is nearly waist high. I have talked with neighbors and several tenants and we all share the same complaints. As to the property manager, she simply lacks the tact and courtesy to be in a position that relies on "people skills". She has left multiple notes on our doors, which were not only snarky, but unprofessional. Trash by the mailboxes is never emptied, and so it flows freely through the complex parking lot. She is pushing people to renew leases (which don't expire til July) because she has "so many people trying to get in here" but DO NOT be decieved by all the great things and overlook the fact that if you move here, you will not be happy. Everyone has their breaking point, and if it weren't for the great location, and the fact that I try to have as little contact with the management as possible, I would not be living here still. :/

****I wrote this review based on many great experiences with a previous property manager. Since the original review, things have changed for the worse and this review is no longer accurate. The new manager is just a puppet for the owners. She is rarely available to tenants and is very rude when you do catch her in the office. Also, there are several untruths being told around the complex, and threats have been made to previous employees if they talk about certain things. Please do not sign a lease at this complex!****
I have lived here since I came to MSU in 2007. Obviously, I like it here. The apartments are not new, so they do have a few minor problems here and there. However, when you fill out a maintenance request form or send an email, the problem will at least get checked -if not fixed- within 24 hours. The units feel warm and home-y, not like most other complexes in Starkville. The pet policy is great. *There is a one-time non-refundable pet fee and no additional monthly fees. The complex is usually quiet, but if you do have an issue, there are courtesy officers onsite who will take care of the problem. I chose to live here because of the office staff. I was brushed off at most of the other complexes I visited, but as soon as I came here, I knew it was where I wanted to be and signed a lease immediately. If you want to live here, the complex fills up quickly and there is usually a waiting list, so go by the office in the fall, or at least by February, if you want to move in the following August.

Chadwick Place apartments used to be a great place to live until a few weeks ago when new management took over and all our old management and maintenance got fired. There was no introduction of the new property manager until today with a note on our doors about it and it has been almost seven weeks now since she took over. It is interesting how no one thought to introduce her to us right off and she is never in the office to begin with. They have started raising the rent on certain apartments that they say are more updated than others. This is a lie because all of these apartments have the same layouts and qualities. Also, strange things happen around here. Me and a few neighbors have experienced things such as closet doors opening and closing for no reason, tvs will go and off, blinds sway back and forth when there is no wind whatsoever, and one tenant told us that his tv flew off the wall and hit the floor one day. I started asking around about this and heard from older tenants who had been here longer than me that this place was haunted but not to tell anyone about it because the ghost visits whoever you tell about it. My animal and the neighbor's animal on several occasions have refused to re-enter certain rooms in the house for a day or two after getting freaked out over something. I had just re-signed a lease for another year with my roommate here before I discovered new management was coming and now I feel like I am trapped here and I would rather leave. But instead I am stuck here another year with loud neighbors who never sleep it seems like and bad management! They will change policies on you and not say anything to you about it. The close proximity to campus is the only good thing about this apartment complex.

Let me begin by saying that in this day and age young people feel entitled to the whole of the world if they spend even the least bit of their time or money on something, and more often than not, when they don't have their exact way, forums flame with their anger. A discontinuity from the physical world has developed in today's youth, and they do not realize that everything has its respective limits. Limits exist for physical, both body of men and women charged with seeing to the needs and desires of tenants and equipment and buildings charged with the very same, and mental, the strains of juggling the incompatibilities and/or desires between neighbors or even roommates between lessor and lessee(s). What you have to realize is that given the proximity to campus and age of the physical buildings, the rent is well priced comparable to similar arrangements. The complex is pet friendly, something which is in increasingly short supply, and the staff are considerate. But remember, they are people too. Just like you or I, we all have our limits.
I have lived at Chadwick for a solid year now, and the only complaints I can muster are against my fellow tenants for not cleaning up after their pets and consuming all bike parking underneath the stairs. If you live on the bottom floor, please chain your bikes to the back porch, so there is room for the tenants living on the top floor to park.

THE WORST APARTMENT AND MANAGEMENT EVER!!! Like everyone else they did sweet talk me and my roommate into a lease. I assume that the people that lived there before us had a dog because our first week in the apartment we had to move because FLEAS were everywhere: the floor and our beds. We ended up staying at my roommates' place back home in Columbus for over a week in order for them to put a flea bomb in the unit. Once we get back Lisa , out of the "kindness" of her heart, gave us a brand new microwave as an apology. Her exact words were, "I'm sorry and i bought this for you guys to have". The maintenance man and I always had disputes about the old appliances. Whenever I would ask him to fix something he'd respond "you need to tell your company to park in guest parking". RUDE!!!! Lastly, the day before our lease was over Lisa had our lights and water turned off. Minutes before my lights went out the Maintenance man stormed into my apartment and into my room while i was still in bed and yelled "When are you leaving? We need to get this place cleaned for the next person!" I calmly stated, "I'm leaving when my lease ends." He left and that was it. And to put the icing on the cake, Lisa demanded that we return the microwave upon leaving.

Chadwick Place = Dookie

I think the above posts have been very unfair regarding Chadwick Place because I have lived here going on three years and never experienced all the drama they are reporting to have experienced living here. I have had bug problems but they are never extreme and no bugs just "show up" in the apartment either. We did have a wasp come in through the vent but they took care of the nest that had developed promptly. They are always there when I need them and they are always helpful and friendly. They have actually treated me like one of their children on several occasions. They will check on your animals and take them out for you if requested because I have two dogs and many occasions I have been gone for long periods and asked them to check on my dogs and they have. The apartments are a bit old but thats expected in a place like this but despite that they are quite comfortable and they feel very homey. They are painted in the prettiest colors and they are spacey for sure. It doesn't feel like an apartment when I am here. I do hear my neighbors who live above me but thats to be expected and thats to be expected in any apartment you live in however, none of this ever makes me want to move out of here. Everything is always fixed that day or the next day. I am very satisfied living here and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a safe environment and somewhere close to campus!! Don't place your judgements without looking at the apartments and talking to management first. Mrs. Lisa and Mr. Charles are very fun people and they are always looking out for their tenants.

Ive been in the apartment now for a day under two weeks. Last week there was an odd period of below freezing weather which caused our pipes to freeze and burst the faucet. We told maintenance immediately, and I proceeded to leave town for the weekend. Upon arriving the following Monday (MLK day.) My roommate began telling me that the manager had demanded payment by the end of the day that monday (still MLK day), or our locks would be changed. The next day just before 8am the maintenance man open our apartment came into our rooms, told us to get up and get out that he was changing the locks. He said if we didn't they would call the cops and have us kicked out. Now I wasn't going to leave but my roommate paid him by check and he put the old locks back on. They 'claim' its in our lease that they can do that, that however is outrageous and incorrect.
In short, they repaired our faucet during Martin Luther King day, a national holiday, and demanded payment by the end of that day. The next morning they proceeded with trying to kick us out and change the locks. And Ive been here 13 days.
When I asked to see the itemized repair costs, which I was paying for, the faucet listed for 70 or 75 dollars. The same faucet, which we were told was bought at Lowe's, cost 47 dollars. Both myself and the owner of this unit are being cheated.

I feel that the previous posters have been extremely unfair in their justification for low ratings. These apartments are indeed older. You shouldn't expect everything to be in pristine condition! If that's what you're looking for, expect to pay 2 or 3 times as much (or have a nice commute to campus every morning).
I live on the first floor, and yes, if your upstairs neighbors are loud, you will hear them. But that's true just about at any apartment.
My air conditioner works fine and keeps the apartment cool. The reason Charles (the maintenance guy) says not to put the AC below 70 degrees F is simply the fact that older air conditioning units can freeze up if they run for too long. If the unit freezes up, damage can occur.
In my experience, Lisa and Charles have been very helpful and friendly. I had a small bug problem for the first few days, but I took it care of it using some off the shelf insecticide and sealing any gaps in the wall (e.g. wall outlet not flush with wall). Have not had a problem since.
The toilets are not of the best quality unfortunately. I had to replace my shower head, but that wasn't too big of a deal. All appliances have been working great, and I've had no issue with them.
Overall, there are some problems with Chadwick. But every apartment complex does (*cough* 21 apartments' new management). For the price and location, I feel as if Chadwick is very comfortable and nice place to live.

The only benifit this apt. complex offers is the proxcimity to the campus. Also, I will say that I have read complaints about bugs, I myself did not suffer from that particular problem.
HOWEVER, I did face poor management and extremely poor maintenance. Charles, the maintenance man, is really rude and not at sympathic to your needs. When moving into the apt. I asked about the air conditioning bc it didn't seem to be cooling the space (it had been on for 3 days before hand)... his response was that the air needed to run a few days and to seep through the walls. I was under the impression it ran into each room through duct work...
Also, concerning the air conditioning, later that year in the summer, the air quit working all together. This happened on a weekend when no one is in the office. My roommate and I called the emergency contact number provided, it went straight to and answering machine. Multiple messages were left throughout the weekend without any communication actually established. In addition to the calls we also placed a work order.
The following Monday, Charles inspected the unit and said that it needed a break. I shouldn't expect it to run on 60 degrees continuously that it was and older unit, that even newer units needed breaks. I then replied, "it doesn't stay on 60 degrees all the time, that although I do prefer it cold my roommate does not, and it does run on 70-75 degrees. Also, I turn it up enough to cut off when cleaning so that I can open windows."
He insisted that it I couldn't run it on 60. I asked "why not bc I pay to live there as well as pay my own utilities bill. I feel like I should be able to live in whatever temp. I feel is comfortable, and that bc I pay rent it is there responsibility to make sure things work the way they should." He then proceed to storm out and slam the door. From that point on it was a constant "battle" according to Lisa the office manager.
In addition to that weekend, the week of July 20th, I came home to a hot apt. the main power switch outside had been turned off. There was no notice to be found. My cats were staying inside the closed up apt. while I had been away.(I'm glad I didn't have an elderly parent or something living there..)
I later learned that Charles took it upon himself to cut it off to give the unit a break. That he needed it rest before working on the unit. This information was learned on Sat. the 24th by roommate, who happened to run into Lisa. I should mention that this is also the weekend that we're moving out and temps were in 100's.
Besides the air conditioning our water heater also quit working during the winter of that year. Which also happened over a weekend, at this time however they hadn't provided any kind of emergency contact number. So a work order was placed and we made other living arrangments that weekend. Charles did act promptly, although all he did was to turn up the water temp. Throughout that month I had to call every day or every other day to complain of no hot water. Finally Charles replaced the thermostat, which allowed for some hot water. The hot water never lasted for long after that... I just got tired of complaining when the results never seemed to fix the problem.
Another issue we faced was a $1,200 fine for carpet damage. Lisa, the office mang., who did a partial inspection claimed there was burn and pet damage. There was a burn spot from the previous tenents that we reported on the damage list upon moving in.
The "pet damage" was frayed areas in each of the bedroom door frames. Identical damage that any other person would know was from regular wear. It was right where the doors opened and closed. I should also mention that even though we did have animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) that both cats were/are declawed. The dogs stayed in crates in the livingroom when no one was home.
Was this review helpful?

These apartments are terrible. They seem like they would be nice since they're cheap and close to campus, but they have lots of problems. Instead of replacing old wallpaper they paint over it. They also put wallpaper over any mold stains in the bathroom. The bug problem can not be emphasized enough. Bugs of all shapes and sizes that you've never seen before will show up in your apartment. These apartments also smell dank and old. Everything about these apartments and their maintenance scream "cheap".

These apartments are the worst ever I have lived in. First of all the front talked us into signing a three year lease by lowering the price of the apartment for us and making it sound really nice. I do not recommend living here because there is no way out of the contract. This place has had the most bugs I have ever seen in my entire life. We have had roaches, spiders, and red wasp fly into our vent in the bathroom. The next thing is the maintenance sucks, the toilets always get clogged and sometime doesn't work and when you put in your work order it takes the so called maintenance guy a week to get to it. Then they make you pay a pet deposit and when go to move out they try to make you pay 1300 for them to replace a clean carpet. And one last thing they raise your apartment price by word of mouth and tell you they will evict you if you do not pay there raised amount. They do not write this new amount down. I do not recommend this apartment to anyone because you will get screwed over.

I would not recommend living at Chadwick Place because it is horriable. They will sucker you into a long lease and then it will be hard to get out of it. There are roaches and whatever other bug you can think of in the apartments. The maintanace guy does not know what he is doing when he comes to "fix" things. And if you live on the bottom floor you can hear everything that is going on upstairs. This place is very disappointing with no privacy. Also they have had two cars blow up and the dumpsters set on fire and they still don't know who did it. I hope this information helps when looking for apartments.

This is the worst apartment I've ever lived in. Not only did i get pushed into a lease but i wasn't able to see my apartment for four months while another couple still lived in it. As far as the owners maintaining the apartments, well lets just say i have had a hole in my ceiling for a month and a half now and still no repairs. cream colored carpets with black stains the magically appear, one toilet has not worked since i've been here. I also have only one bath tub that works. But I think the kicker is that the leasing manager changed my lease without consent. She changed it from a one year lease to a two year lease and refuses to change it. They're are tons of problems wrong with these apartments. Do not let them sweet talk you into a lease. If necessary ask to see the apartment (not the model they don't look alike) before you sign. They legally can let you see the apartment with consent from the present tenants. I have learned my lesson and this won't happen to me again. Be wise
