Combining gorgeous apartments with complete amenities in a convenient location is always a winning combiner.  Courtney Meadows, a ContraVest apartment community located on Jacksonville’s Southside, takes it a step further, however, by addition a top-of-the-line professional staff.

“Our apartments are gorgeous and are priced just right,” said Michelle Alderdice, the property manager.  “But aside form that, what really sets us apartment is the friendly, professional service we provide.”

The staff at Courtney Meadows treats their residents as family rather than tenants, following up on maintenance requests with courtesy calls and hosting resident appreciation events throughout the year.  The office is accommodating and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.

Offering beautiful, spacious apartments has earned a stellar reputation quickly for the one-year-old luxury apartment community as well.

The 276 units, ranging from 875 square feet to 1,247 square feet, are spread over the huge property in three-story buildings, offering great views for every resident.  The apartments are well built and energy-efficient with every resident’s comfort in mind.

Apartment features include, crown molding, honey oak cabinets, ceramic tile in kitchen, foyer and bathrooms, 9-foot ceilings throughout and cathedral ceilings in third-floor units, ceiling fan in living room, garden tub in the master bath of two-and three-bedroom floor plans, textured ceilings, neutral carpeting, GE white-on-white appliances and walk-in closets.  Being just a year old, Courtney Meadows offer clean, almost new units.

“We really went the extra mile in designing the apartments.  All of the baseboards, door frames and crown molding are painted white, giving the walls an added dimension,” Alderdice said.  “All of the windows open from the inside; making cleaning easier and mini-blinds are included.”

First-floor residents enjoy screened-in porches and second-and third-floor residents enjoy covered porches.   All of the stairwells and breezeways are covered as well.

Residents enjoy well-planned amenities, too.  The pool area also has a hot tub and is surrounded by a huge sun deck.  Picnic areas equipped with grills can be found in the pool area as well as other areas throughout the complex.  Sand volleyball and a fitness room make exercising at home possible.  A business center is open to residents for their faxing, copying and Internet needs.  A gate card for added security accesses all of the amenities.  The entryway also is gated for extra security.
