I just moved in to the Retreat a week ago. I toured tons of other apartment complexes before deciding on this one and as of now I have not regretted my decision for many reasons. First being that The leasing agents and office staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. This is a huge plus. I have had rude management and landlords in the past I know that this can really affect your attitude on the apartment. Second the apartment complex is located in a very safe and nice part of charlotte. There are many families here with small children and they picked this area for that reason....safety And another plus is that the greenway trail which is awesome is right down the road. I really love this area. Lastly the complex is developed landscape wise and there is tons of trees and greenery. For me this is crucial I hate having patios that overlook parking lots with no privacy. Really great apartment complex and highly recommend it!!
