Apartment Review for Parachute Factory - Richmond, VA

I lived here for two years, and trust me when I say that all the 5 star reviews are by the leasing agency. If you're looking for a bargain, you got it, but be aware that's exactly what you're gonna get. The noise level is ridiculous, the walls are paper thin, I'm on the third floor and I can hear and be a part of my neighbors under me, conversation if I wanted to. You can hear every foot step and sneeze made next door or in the hallways, or down the hall. I sleep with either my TV on or radio just so I can block out the background noise. Some of the tenants aren't responsible with their pets so get used to the smell of pet waste on your way into the door. The people who tow the parking lot are pretty shady, and will try to tow you for any and every reason, even with a decal. I came out one morning to find my car gone, and when I called the towing agency they said they had my car. They claimed that I was double parked (which I was not) and claimed to have pictures. When I went to pick up my car I demanded to see the pictures, upon that demand the guy changed his tune and told me that I could just "take my car back". Dunno... sounds like you just stole my car for no reason. I have never been worried about my safety though the area looks to be a little rough. the units themselves aren't badly set up and are nice in general, and I've never had a problem with the office staff. Maintenance may take a little prodding to get on the ball and get the job done, but besides using my own personal towels to soak up the water from the stuffed up toilet.......... I haven't had a problem with them.
