I lived at Malvern for two years. I enjoyed living in this community, because it was well-kept, friendly, and has great amenities. It is within walking distance to Carytown restaurants and grocery stores, and about a 10 minute drive to University of Richmond. The apartments have hardwood floors, fairly spacious layout, and washer-dryers in unit. There is a small gym, salt water pool, and club house for resident use as well.

However, I killed several palmetto bugs and roaches in my 2nd floor apartment and the closets are small. The price of water/trash is not included, but is charged by Malvern, and it doubled between 2015-2017. Paying for expensive utilities outside of my control was irritating as a student with limited means. Also, some units are limited to certain cable/internet providers.

Malvern Manor is a safe, convenient location that allows me to get to and from school quickly and also access Cary Town and Downtown easily. I have loved living there and will continue living there through my 3L year.

MM is situated 8 minutes from the law school and three minutes from Carytown. A Kroger grocery store is near by as are pharmacies and 2 other high end grocery stores. MM includes a gym, pool, bbq. Washers and dryers, dishwasher in each unit. They are excellent at addressing maintenance issues immediately. Frontdoor of building is locked and festures an intercom. My apartment seems older. Older gas stove. Some two prong outlets are inconvenient. Not very convenient bike storage. Parking is in the curved driveway but is not assigned. The unit is expensive and does not include charges for water/sewage, gas, garbage. Generally a positive experience here - the attentiveness by managers to maintenance makes this place great.

The apartments are very nice. That being said we have had problems where our air conditioning doesn't work all that great in circulating air to the whole apartment. They seem hesitant to replace the air conditioner even though it is rather old and inefficient. Kills your electric bill.
