I was a tenant at Encore Apartments on N. Sang Ave in Fayetteville, AR, for just shy of four years (March 2014 - February 2018). I most likely wouldn't have left, but I joined the Air Force and was required to relocate to another state for an assignment.
About the property itself -- sure, it's an older apartment complex (30+ years old), and things will (and have) broken or malfunctioned due to age and extended use. So, while I would hope that stuff like that won't happen, in my experience of moving 29 times (into and out of mostly rentals) in my life, I have to realistically expect it, and you should, too.
That being said, you should expect your landlord or your property managers to take care of your issues as they arise. Also in my experience, many landlords and property managers have fallen short. Please feel secure in knowing that you've got some diamonds in the not-so-rough when it comes to Platinum Properties of NWA. Managers/Realtors Kelley & Michael Weir, Agent Stephanie, Front Desk Delores, and on-site Housekeeper Darlene will take good care of you.
They will work with you in getting whatever needs fixing coordinated, contracted, accomplished, and followed-up usually within 24 hours. We all work odd or have inconvenient hours when something breaks, but if you contact any of them, they will make all the arrangements and even keep an eye on eye on the work in-progress in your absence until you return home.
Encore Apartments are located in a quiet, sidewalked, residential neighborhood, almost next door to Asbell Elementary School, within the "blast radius" of the University of Arkansas, community soccer fields, and bike/run trails, and is easy/quick access to I-49. This complex has among the lowest rental prices in the area and offers plenty of on-site resident-sticker parking that's never been an issue even on U of A game days. If you prefer to take the bus, that's a close do-able, too.
All you have to do is pay your very reasonable(!) rent on-time, call, text, or email maintenance requests in a timely manner, and be a good tenant by not destroying the place and following general for (what should be no-brainer) consideration-of-others' rules like parking BETWEEN the lines and NOT throwing furniture/mattresses into the provided dumpsters. Upon move-out/end-of-lease, this is one of the few places in Fayetteville where you'll actually receive your security deposit back -- IF you clean your apartment to the level it was when you moved in. Oh, yeah -- and this is my Golden Rule: Since they do what they do in taking care of you, you should make it a point to often let them know via phone, text, internet review, and (ideally) in-person how much you appreciate the great job that they do for you. I promise that it will make them feel good and make you feel good, too.
