Chestnut Hill

Chestnut Hills is an incredible apartment complex. It is a mix of medical students, law students, families, and professionals. It is pretty quiet unless they are remodeling one of the apartments in your building. I came from out of state and was nervous that finding an apartment would be difficult, but the Goldcrest management team made the process easy. Maintenance is very responsive, and I have only had one issue while being here with my shower faucet popping off. However, maintenance responded quickly on a Saturday and fixed it in under 30 minutes. The apartments are very nice (if renovated, which most are) and quite spacious. I live in a two bed/1 bath so that I can use the second bedroom as my office. I am rarely disturbed by management unless there is something the entire complex needs to know (i.e., no guest parking on football gamedays unless you buy a pass from the office for that day). I would say that the only downside of the apartment I live in is that the ceilings are around 8 feet or so, and that means my shower head hits me in the chest, and I have to bend down to get my head wet. However, I am 6'1, so that's only a problem if you are that height or larger. Rent increased from my first year of living here, but that is because they added a trash fee of $12.00 and increased the base rent from $890 to $900. My only other complaint is that the walls are pretty thin, so I can hear loud noises from other residents in my building, whether above, below, or beside me.

A significant plus is that you only pay a higher electricity bill while it's warm outside because they switch the heating to gas over the cold months, which is included in your rent.

Overall, I highly recommend this complex to anyone looking to study at the law school.

This is the best place I've lived in Morgantown.

I love this apartment complex community. There's several types of housing types within the community, and it's certainly more family/professional student oriented. It's very close to the law schools, and I have no complaints.

I lived in Chestnut Ridge Apartments all three years of law school and they are great to work with. In my first year of law school, I rented a 1 bedroom apartment and then I moved into a three bedroom apartment with friends and family for my last two years. Chestnut Ridge Apartments have been great - they are easy to work with and management has always been available to fix any problems or issues. In my first year, I had some heating problems but after informing the management, they came and fixed it right away. Moreover, the rent is very reasonable for the area - my one bedroom apartment was $525 and included all utilities except electric, wifi, and cable. For the 3 bedroom, rent is $850 and includes the same utilities as well. My roommate and I split the three bedroom rent and averaged out to be $475 per person including internet and electricity, which is very reasonable for that area. Moreover, the apartment complex gives you parking passes for free and there is plenty of free visitor parking. The only downside is that on WVU home football games, they sell their additional parking spots so if you are having visitors on those Saturdays, your visitor will have to pay $10 to park. However, that’s still very reasonable. Overall, this has been a great apartment complex to live, especially for the great price!
