When we moved in 4 years ago this was one of the best apartments in Charlotte. It has since gone down hill, we experience break-in's/theft, management changed (for the worse), and new luxury apartments are popping up everywhere.
Crime has increased substantially. Vehicles are often broken into in the parking deck. If you are on the first level there are theft issues from your patio. We absolutely loved the early years when UDR managed the facility. Since, nearly everyone has left and they shifted companies. Communication has become quite poor.
Noise can be substantial at times. Units facing the inner court echo with the brick drive and walls. We are often woken up from the echos of late night partiers coming home. In the summer you can often also hear the noise from the rooftop.
Photos online are not accurate as the property has aged since then and it does not depict the current condition of the property. We have since decided to move after spending 4 years there. We asked if the final 2 months waived from our lease since we have been model tenants and they refused. We have to pay a $2500+ fine to vacate early to close on our home. Not the end of the world but would have been a nice gesture since only 2 months of our 4 year stay.
Though the location is great... It's not what it once was.
