I have been living at Fountains Southend for nearly a year now and recently renewed for a 2nd year.
Positives: I enjoy my apartment unit and amenities, such as the fitness center and pool. In my opinion, these 2 features are among the best in South End. I also love going to events planned by the fantastic Cares team: Daniel and Jessie! I also appreciate the convenience of the light rail (and the Lynx lounge), as well as the nearby breweries and Harris Teeter.
A couple minor downsides are that it doesn't really feel like as much of a community as I'd like - AKA the majority of people really keep to themselves and their own circles, although the pool during summer weekends is an exception to this. The location is also a couple blocks too far south from Uptown and the heart of South End, in my opinion. However, neither of these outweigh the great work being done by Tracie, Jeremy, the maintenance staff, and others. I highly recommend Fountains!
