I have lived here at the retreat for about 6 months now and my stay has been very pleasant. The newly painted apartments and renavating, and new parkinglot pavements all look very nice. The neighborhood is safe and friendly and so close to so many locations such as, Stonecrest, Blakney , the mall and pineville. Just really can't beat the price and place for the location anywhere around here. The staff is always so helpful and polite and will help out in anyway to make my stay a more pleasant inviroment,just overall great customer service. I plan on staying at the retreat and renewing my lease when it comes time!
