| - After someone sent me a message asking for more information about my experience living at Presley I decided it was time to update my review!
After living at Presley for a year, I can honestly say it is the most overpriced apartment I have ever resided, and I have lived in Manhattan, so that is really saying something. The noise you hear in the apartment is outrageous. I could hear my next door neighbors conversations in Chinese, my downstairs neighbors various sexcapades, and to really cap it off, my upstairs neighbor was a flautist with the Charlotte Symphony, so I had to listen to him practice for hours every day. If your apartment faces the pool, make sure that you are okay with crappy techno blasting all summer from 12 PM to 12 AM. When I complained to the Assistant Manager downstairs she started complaining that I was complaining!
The staff is another issue. Presley only seems to hire attractive young women with no career experience. Staff is completely lacking any customer service training, and are totally bratty to anyone who comes forward with any suggestions or concerns. Every response is dripping with condescension, while the written letters and emails are chock full of grammatical errors.
The amenities are super nice, when they are functioning. Something in the gym is always broken, and there is frequently dog excrement in the common outdoor areas, and even in the carpeted hallways.
The least bothersome problem for me, which bothered other tenants a lot, is that the hallways always reek of marijuana. Not like, "Oh, is that marijuana I smell?" but rather, "Crap, I hope they don't drug test me at work because I am definitely getting a sweet contact high!" It is intense.
Overall, the Presley should not charge more than $800 for a studio, $1000 for a 1 BD, and $1200 for a 2 BD. But as long as they can get away with it, they will provide the lowest quality service with the highest possible rates.
