Well, this is my second time at the Retreat. My first stint was with another management group, and to say that they were lacking is an understatement. The apartments were old and falling apart, the overall look of the complex was dank and sinister. Now, with the new management group they have painted the entire complex, updated the workout facilities and upgraded the apartments! When I left the first time the new group was just starting and I had a chance to meet the ladies that were taking over and could tell that they knew what they were doing! When it was time to come back to the southside of Charlotte the first place I thought of was "The Retreat" I was not wrong! They have been more than accommodating and the place looks like a real community. With the new management company I would gladly recommend this complex to any young professional that is looking for a new warm home. Lastly, the maintenance is reliable and quick.
