Crowne Oaks

I really have enjoyed living in Crowne Oaks but for those that are not familiar with Winston-Salem, you need to come in with the right expectations. The apartments are a great space and I think are quite large for the cost of rent compared to downtown apartments. However, just know that you are not within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and the downtown scene. That is a quick 10-minute car ride but if you are prioritizing living close to campus, this is a great place to live.

I live alone in a single room apartment. The maintenance people are very responsive and help you fix anything quickly. It's a pretty standard apartment. You are required to rent a washer-dryer, get your own internet, and pay all utilities separate.

I love the Crowne Oaks (aka CROAKES). Management is very timely. Maintenance is friendly. The pool is great in the summer. Value is fantastic. Clean, friendly, affordable.

The area is fine but can be boring. Living right off Silas Creek with all the car dealerships is no fun. Not a hip and young neighborhood. Outside walls are thin. My bedroom in next to outdoor stairs that lead up to the upstairs apartment and I can hear everything through the walls. That part sucks so much actually.

Affordable option in an ideal position. If I was going to do it all over again I would choose this same complex.

My apartment in Crowne Oaks is spacious and clean. Many other classmates also live in the complex and it is a short drive to campus. I have really enjoyed living here.

It’s a great place to live. The people are so welcoming and the amenities are so nice to have.

I really like the community. Feels very safe. The amenities are very nice. The fireplaces are nice. Wish the first floor apartment porches were gated and not open. Neighbors all very nice as well as office staff and maintenance team. Love how close it is to the school. Wish the school would open the Polo Road Gate please. However, it is very, very expensive. Law school is basically bleeding me dry and also I feel like the administration doesn’t care about us at all. But, those are two separate issues.

This apartment is good for law students as there is a shuttle that takes you to the law school from the apartment. I looked at Crowne Oaks and Crowne Polo and they are very similar. Crowne Polo is slightly nicer and has more Wake law students that I have spoken with living there. I was able to get a lower price on rent at Crowne Oaks by living in a non-renovated apartment.

Oaks is a great spot. Extremely close to campus. Quiet complex with good privacy. Only fail is the power goes out easily with all the surrounding brush/trees.

It's good for student housing, and rent isn't very expensive. There can be a lot of bugs, but it's not too bad.
