I was a prospective tenant and set up an appointment for a tour. However when I got there the doors were locked with instructions to call to enter (reasonable during covid). However I called 4 times with no answer, left a voicemail, and called back the number I used to make an appointment (staffed by a person at a remote location who was nice but unable to help). I never got a tour, nor was I ever contacted again.
I have seen these apartments previously and the guy at the leasing office at that time was great, though the apartments were small and overpriced. However my more recent experience has

I don’t usually leave reviews but I have to make an exception. Save yourself the time and frustration and live somewhere not owned or managed by JJB.
-they don’t take security seriously at all. Doors to the building are propped open or left unlocked frequently after hours. Management has not fixed this issue despite knowing about it for months.
-management doesn’t communicate well. If you send an email, don’t expect a follow up. If you talk to someone in the office, assume they will put off addressing your concerns and do not expect them to pass along any information to their coworkers

The location was great and I liked the appliances and modern look. The con was size of apartment but worse was the customer service. I was a resident there since getting stationed in Norfolk two years ago. The initial manager Alicia Brandon was outstanding!! I had to move out in February of this year because unfortunately they got a new manager… who never returned phone calls or email inquiries - staff didn't communicate regarding tenants requests. I do have to say that Kathleen was a helpful staff. They also started charging for parking this year but you don't get even get an assigned spot

I loved The James! I wish I had been able to move in but my job switched my location at the last second before I was able to sign my lease. Alicia and Sandra were so sweet and did everything they could to help me throughout my application process and getting me measurements for the apartment I intended to move into.
If I ever move back into the Norfolk area, I will be sure to visit them first! Everything from the staff to the finishes were just amazing and the location was prime!
