These critiques below are a little exaggerated. I have lived here over 15 years and love my apartment. Is there crime...yes, randomly. I actually had my bedroom window broken a couple years ago but since I have my alarm hooked up, they didn't come in. About ten years ago, my car window was broken in and they rifled through my things. In 15 years in east Charlotte that is not bad. I have friends that live in other areas where they have shootings, armed robberies, rapes, and all kinds of things so I feel pretty fortunate. I have never had bugs but did get a mouse two winters ago. My neighbors have been pretty steady over the years but sometimes you do get some trashy ones that fortuneately get kicked out pretty fast. Will I stay here? My next stop is assisted living which will be awhile because I am still pretty spry in my 70's.
