I genuinely do not have a single negative thing to say about this complex. This is the first complex that has truly felt like “home” to me. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The staff here is absolute TOP TIER. There are not enough words to brag about every single last person that makes this complex what it is from management, to leasing, to maintenance, to our events coordinator, and groundskeeping, etc. They always go above and beyond and are on top of everything.

As a single female,...
safety is my number one priority above everything else. Our butterfly system, our staff, our guidelines, LMS parking, and our security team, help me feel safe every single day here.

Aside from safety, cleanliness and luxury are my other non-negotiables. And I have never seen another complex in Charlotte, not even in the South Park area, be as clean as this complex is. I wish I could give an award myself to our maintenance team because they are the most professional, knowledgeable, and punctual team I have EVER seen. And this complex screams luxury. Between our gorgeous amenities, aesthetically pleasing appearance (literally everywhere from the grounds, exteriors, interiors, and apartments), and even the little minor details like the floor plan layouts and features.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this place. I tell everyone I know. I never plan on leaving this complex any time soon because of how incredible it is here. I absolutely love it here. It truly is a “home” and a beautiful community.
