Grain of salt since I'm still newish to the area: I live in a similar-type community (Retreat at West Creek in Henrico) and can attest, it's not as bad as you might think.
I relocated from NYC not too long ago and just needed a place to land with minimal stress too, I don't regret making the choice for something more...corporate. Esp if you don't plan on being there long term. But you're still paying a bit of a premium for "amenities" you may never use and for (what is probably) spotty renovations. -shrug-
The one thing that is bordering on god awful is the traffic since mine is a more commercial area.
