    5/5 Dr. D. on Oct 9, 2025

    Living here has been such a treat—it genuinely feels like I’ve checked into an upscale hotel and never left. The atmosphere is polished and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that make everyday life feel elevated. From the moment I arrived, the staff have been consistently friendly, responsive, and professional. They make the community feel cared for, and it shows. The amenities are impressive and well-maintained, adding to that “resort-style” vibe. Whether it’s relaxing in the common areas or just enjoying the peace and quiet of my apartment, it all feels like a getaway—but with the comfort of home. The location is super convenient, close to everything I need, yet still tucked away enough to feel serene. And for the quality of life here, the pricing is more than fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you look forward to coming home every day. Highly recommend to anyone who wants the luxury of a vacation with the stability of home. Oh, they have an upscale coffee machine and the COOKIES--are amazing! I never thought I would have to rent again, but THIS IS the place to be!

    5/5 Dee on Aug 27, 2025

    We love it here—plenty of parking, staff is cool and the AMENITIES ARE TOP NOTCH!!!

    Not a bad community, but the units are over priced for what you pay for. No real amenities, forced valet trash service (which you have to pay for), no security, the Laundromat on site was dismantled in efforts to now charge an additional fee for stackable laundry appliances. I've been a resident for 8 years and have seen 6 different management companies run this community, all with bad reviews on the BBB website. Do your homework before committing to a final decision.

Charlotte, NC in the news

Living in Charlotte, NC

Living in location

Charlotte - the largest city in North Carolina - is a haven of natural beauty situated in the heart of Mecklenburg County, which is 10 miles outside of the South Carolina border. Charlotte renters are 55 miles west of Durham, N.C.; 90 miles southwest of Greensboro, N.C.; 130 miles north of Columbia, S.C.; 130 miles east of Fayetteville, N.C.; and 165 miles southwest of Raleigh, N.C. Renting in Charlotte offers a unique blend of city amenities and thriving business and art communities. Charlotte also attracts young professional renters who are looking to further careers within the large city's growing management, business, insurance, health care and computer technology sectors. To that end, many renters work in the three largest industries in Charlotte: banking (Bank of America is one of the many Fortune 500 companies with Charlotte headquarters), technology and manufacturing. There are also Fortune 500 companies and 30 Fortune 1000 companies located in Charlotte. When renting in Charlotte, public education is provided by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS).

Charlotte's charm isn't just in its vibrant economic landscape; it's also a city that celebrates its green spaces and outdoor activities. With an array of parks, like the famous Freedom Park and the expansive Reedy Creek Park, renters and visitors alike can enjoy hiking, biking, and family picnics amidst beautiful scenery.

Renting in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte has the perfect neighborhood for every renter's lifestyle. Namely, uptown Charlotte appeals to younger renters with its proximity to museums (such as the Mint Museum Uptown and the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art), parks, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and the Bank of America Stadium (home of the NFL Panthers). Meanwhile, Elizabeth - a mixed-use neighborhood in a less bustling part of the city - offers apartment rentals conveniently close to nightlife, offices and retail spaces. Or, the South End is a reinvigorated hotspot filled with bars, boutiques, art galleries and trendy hangouts - and most of the crowd are renters. Dilworth is another hip neighborhood with a renting majority, as well as some amazing houses for rent with 20th-century architecture. Otherwise, Plaza Midwood apartments boast a charming mix of Colonial, Victorian, and Tudor styles, alongside boutique shopping and fantastic local BBQ spots, like Midwood Smokehouse.

Things for renting

Shopping in Charlotte, NC
