This complex is not updated, fancy, or "nice" in any way. However, Chapel Hill is expensive and this is good value for your money. I would recomend this for students or those with families. Complex is mostly quiet and peaceful (besides the current construction).

Affordable, maintenance has been pretty good for me, friendly and helpful staff, good gym, good pool and rec area (volleyball court and tennis/basketball court). Location is good if you like accessibility to town and the rest of the area, and don’t want to get swamped by game day traffic. Bus stop is just outside so it easy to get around town if you’re not driving.

I recommend living at Shadowood.
I am new to Chapel Hill, and spent a lot of time checking out different complexes. I’m very happy with my decision to live here.
The management team has been great and is on site. They’re very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The complex is older, but well maintained. The grounds are beautiful, lots of trees and ornamentals. The area is clean and there is ample parking. The neighborhood feels lively - I often see people walking around and using the community... amenities.
Overall Shadowood feels like a safe, quiet neighborhood. During the day as well as at night. It’s tucked away but still conveniently located. Rent prices seem fair for the area as well.
