We visited Alpha Mill as a potential place to live upon moving to Charlotte. I have to say, I loved everything about this place from the units to the kid who showed them to us. It used to be a cotton mill, so it has that old and homely feeling to it. I LOVED the exposed brick on the walls in some of the apartments. This place had a great feel to it. We looked at the loft apartments, and these floorplans were pretty unique with different shaped rooms and spacious master bedrooms. In the long run we didn't choose Alpha Mill, but pretty much solely based on the fact that it was a bit far from where we wanted to be. It was a hike from uptown. If that doesn't matter to you, you should check this place out.
