Preston Ridge’s location might fool you into thinking you’d only come for the beautiful scenery. But we promise, this modern 172-unit apartment community brings you intentional convenience, lavish floor plans, and a place you’ll look forward to calling “home.” With irresistible amenities, focus on resident community (think coworking area, yoga room, and community kitchen), and walkability to a plethora of brand new destinations (think restaurants, retail shops, and your new favorite dry cleaner) Preston Ridge leaves nothing to be desired.

Great Place To Live

I love living at Preston Ridge. The property is clean, safe and easily accessible to all shopping and other amenities. The property is well maintained and the staff are super friendly. This is a real community rather than just a place to live!

Just OK

Has slowly regressed in to a basic apartment by removing the things that were a draw.

Home for 3 yrs

My parents and I have lived @ Preston Ridge for 3 yrs now. We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment which allows me to care for my parents, live together, yet have our separate space so that we can have time apart. Our apartment is centrally located to their church, Drs' offices, and anywhere we might need to go in Hickory and the surrounding areas. We have been very happy here.

Becoming disappointed

I have been a resident since this prooerty was built. Although I still love my place, things are starting to go down hill. Certain amenities that drew me to the property are no longer available and I feel the rent should be adjusted based on the amaenities that have been taken away
