Jan 2019: Vie had utilities paid for, and a gym at the front office. That's where the good things to say about it end. The rates aren't worth all the issues I had living there, and am still getting after moving out. This place was awful for me, and still causing more issues, don't live here. Review from Google
Jan 2019: Vie Raleigh supports LMS Parking which is a predatory parking agency that profits off of tenants of Vie Raleigh and their guests. Over half the spots are typically open and this apartment complex is not walking distance to any major attractions or a downtown area. All visitor spots are located together and blocks away from 90% of residents. Friday night at around 12:30am, I drove the entire lot and EVERY visitor spot was taken. I’ve known about them being quick to boot cars there and a few other friends have been affected. After realizing there were no visitor spots and I was only stopping by to meet someone for 20-30 minutes, I figured they would be less harsh since there was PLENTY of parking everywhere. Not only was I booted and fined $140 for ONE boot but the parking assistant Chris continued to toy with me about “maybe†letting me g Review from Google
Dec 2018: Dispite all the management problems the maintenance guys do their job very well. Their always on time and trust worthy especially my boy Jay. Jay goes above and beyond to satisfy us in the Vie at Raleigh community. Review from Google
Dec 2018: If you care at all about yourself or a loved one DO NOT LET THEM LIVE HERE!!!! It is absolutely disgusting. When we moved in the apartment had not been cleaned. My roommates and I constantly have to put in maintenance request. I will say that the maintenance men have always been extreamly nice and do their job well in my opinion. My problem is with the management and lack of communication. They want nothing but you money and do not care about the individuals living here. They will boot a visitor for parking in a visitor's spot if they do not have a pass even though there is NO SIGN ANYWHERE. Any 5 star rating this place has is from people who just moved in and have no idea what they are in for. This place is terrible and unsafe. I have had police knock on my door asking questions about a fight that happened right outside my window. We had to c Review from Google

Oct 2018: This is the best place to call home as a first time
Renter I have had and still have the best experience at Vie at Raleigh! I have the best roommates in the universe and have created a relationship with them that the apartment is more like family to me. The gym is amazing and so is the staff.! They are friendly staff memebers who really care to help you with any questions that you might have.! When I first moved to my apartment it was obvious that I had to clean what the past ROOMATE might have left but that was because I moved in immediately as she moved out but the staff and maintenance was very helpful in the process and informed me to let me know if there was anything that they could do to assist me in the transition of enjoying my new home. What most people expect when moving in is for maintenance to clean and mop and sweep the floor but Review from Google
Sep 2018: I love this place. The people were really nice & understandable. They worked with me just to make sure everything worked out for me. Thank you guys so much Review from Google
Sep 2018: For those looking to move in to the Vie at Raleigh I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere. DO NOT move in here. The management lacks the appropriate response to work orders, complaints and performs shady practices while consistently acts in an inappropriate or downright illegal manner. One such note of that is my roommate was to receive a check from his parents to purchase books for school. Instead of receiving the personal check that was sent in an envelope addressed to him, management opened the check (illegal, it was not addressed to the complex) and proceeded to cash the check into his rent balance (also illegal, it was not addressed to the complex). While the money was traceable, what they did is a violation of personal property and federal law. But now onto my stories.

Sep 2018: I lived here from August 2018-2019 and I have nothing but horror stories up to and including moveout. When I moved in my room was dirty with dust and dirt everywhere and mold was present in my bed frame and on my desk. The furnished dresser that was supplied by the complex had a pair of someone else's underwear and some sort of rotting fruit inside. That’s not even the worst of it. Here is my bathroom:

I have so many more stories but this is getting long, so here a TLDR,
Unsafe, people have died and apartments have been shot up
Roaches everywhere
Shady business practices, opening residents mail
Work orders don’t get done
So. Much. Mold.Sep 2018: Everyone has a friendly attitude. The Manager Pricilla was very kind and willing to assist me and answer any questions. I would recommend this complex to anyone! Review from Google
Aug 2018: DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS PLACE! The management is horrible. The maintenance is horrible. The communication from here is horrible. If i could give negative stars I would. The smoke alarms are always needing a battery change and maintenance is not quick to fix them. The smoke alarms have been beeping since the beginning of July. They moved us into a dirty apartment and the ceiling fan and bathroom sinks are broken. The last unit the dryer had a short and kept shocking anyone who touched it, maintenance took 3 months to replace it. The contact information they provide you to speak with management go unanswered for several months. When they do call you back if you do not answer they leave a very vague message to call them back. It has been three weeks since I have returned their message. I have yet to call and it does not go to voicemail.STAY AWAY Review from Google
Jul 2018: Paula. Amazing. Stupendous. Made the move in process very simple for a first time renter. I appreciate the effort and the lay out of how things will be when I move in! Thank you! Review from Google
Jun 2018: I have been shopping around for apartments and I've come to find Vie in Raleigh to be very competitive among my options. The difference between Vie and the other places I am considering is the amazing staff at Vie! In particular Dayquan Chapman! He's been really helpful informing me about what Vie has to offer! His kindness, inviting personality, and campus knowledge has definitely left a mark. I look forward to going forward with Vie this upcoming fall semester.
Thank you! Review from GoogleJun 2018: Just signed my very first lease! Shout out to Rome and Anthony for helping me and getting me such a great deal. Anthony's tour made me so excited to live here!! I can't wait for August. Review from Google
Jun 2018: I love how nice and modern the property is! It is absolutely stunning! All the staff at VIE are incredibly nice! Kammy and Rome are the nicest ladies you will ever meet and are a pleasure to talk to!
5 stars does not do this property justice, I wish I could give 10! Review from GoogleJun 2018: Move in was easy and smooth. However I've had a few issues with my roommate themselves but Rome and Alana have been great! I know they can't control peoples behavior but they have gone above and beyond to hep me. If you have any issues just ask for them! Review from GoogleJun 2018: -EDIT-
My concerns listed below have been addressed, shout out to Rome in the front office for keeping me sane during this process. I've had a good year here at the Vie, and the maintenance issues that I've had to deal with lately aren't representative of the experience as a whole.
------
The year started out decent, nothing to write home about, but lately the maintenance has been pretty bad.
-Starting April 15, my Air Conditioning Unit has broken a total of 6 times. Each time it has taken the on-site contractors/employees roughly three days to fix it, and recently the system lasts only a few days before failing again.
-There was a leaking pipe in the ceiling above my bathroom, and the process to fix it went something like this:
1) Cut large holes out of my bathroom ceiling.
2) Let water continue to pour through holes into my bathroom.
3) Review from GoogleMay 2018: Going on three years with vie it’s my home away from home come for yourself and create your own opinions. They have been the most welcoming accommodating place to live for me. They made my relocation from PA to NC way easier for me. Review from Google
May 2018: My friend move here. Great place for the price. Thank goodness because Raleigh is more expensive than the poor man's pay will allow him to afford. Review from Google
Apr 2018: The vie is a great place to live and have a good time. You don't have to worry about your safety and there are so many different activities. You can always have a great time Review from Google
Apr 2018: Where do I begin. Well I live in a 3 bedroom and 7 people live there. I complained once about there being people living there not on the lease and was told they would rectify it. They only sent out a general letter to the apartment. I get a fine for there being trash left outside the apartment but you all know there are all these people living here and won’t enforce the occupancy policy but you will the trash policy. Why? Because as long as you are getting your money from rent you don’t care. I definitely did not want to renew but I think it unprofessional to say we have to give a 3 month notice but you call and send an email saying the last day to renew is like 5-6 months before my lease ends because I guess you want to make sure the room is occupied. The apartment is filthy. I tried to keep it clean (at least the kitchen) but it gets nasty as soon as I cleanApr 2018: I will definitely not be living here next year! It took 7 months for the apartment to finally replace missing furniture from move in. Even though both my roommate and I put in multiple work orders. I have not had any other problems with my apartment other than waking up to people arguing and screaming outside my window. Or the fact that almost every week the cops were called and were investigating the apartment building next door. I’ve never met so many residents who are dissatisfied with their apartment complex. Just the crime rates alone here are enough to persuade me not to stay. Review from Google
Mar 2018: I love living here. My roommates are great and I love all the events hosted in the lobby. Trivia night was a blast!! Review from GoogleMar 2018: I live at Vie. My apartment is fine and I get along with my roommates. The gym is nice and I personally like the staff. Not a bad community Review from GoogleMar 2018: Horrifying service on move in. Actually a nightmare. Might have been a fluke, but I would not recommend. They only let people move in the day before classes started, and to top it all off, the registration process was a nightmare as well, every single person was told to arrive at 12, even though apparently we could have come earlier. To say the rooms were not clean, would be an insult to the concept of dirt, via association. The previous tenant had not cleaned at all, and no-one had even been inside the apartment since they had left as far as I can tell. Cleaning crews that had all apparently quit over the summer had not been replaced, which is understandably a difficult situation, but when the main focus of your facility's existence is providing living spaces, not having cleaning crews at all is unacceptable. The apartments were dingy, smoke stains, alarms had be
