Apartment Review for Pavilion Crossings - Charlotte, NC

When I signed my lease here I thought I was getting a good price on a good-sized apartment. But I guess you get what you pay for. Since the day I moved in here I have had problems with living here. First of all I was lied to when I signed my lease. I was told there were no other apartments available, but when I moved in there was 3 empty apartments in my building alone. They are very pushy in the leasing office as well. I was given 1 day to sign my lease and 3 days to turn in my deposit. I wanted more time to think about it but I was told they would raise the price of my rent after that day. (If you are put in this situation... walk away. I wish I had.) The amount of policies and papers that are made just to annoy you are huge. I would like to sign my lease, move in, and live worry free. This apartment complex is certainly not worry free. When I first moved in I had a problem with my apartment and the maintenance man came by to fix it but said there was no problem. After I complained a second time he came to fix it. If he wasn't lazy in the first place the problem would have been fixed. I am a busy person who doesn't get home early enough every day to keep stopping in the office. Another huge problem I have with this complex is the parking situation. It is horrible. Outside my building there isn't even enough parking for every apartment to have 1 spot. So this presents a problem when there are two people living in an apartment. There are simply not enough spaces for everyone to park. If you have visitors forget them being able to park close. I often have friends who don't want to visit because they don't want to walk so far to their cars at night and they don't want to get their cars towed again. So, if you work late, or you come home late, you are guaranteed to have to walk quite a distance to get to your apartment. And there is no one patrolling the apartment complex like the leasing office claims. So, there is quite a chance that if you come home late at night something could happen to you. And to add to this list of problems I've have had in the five months I have lived here is the noise. I am a working adult who needs to go to bed at a decent hour and wake up early. This has certainly not been possible many nights. Along with my neighbor below me blasting the music, the people drunk and screaming outside my apartment at night, the people screamed and throwing things in the pool late at night have kept me awake. I have also looked out because of the noise in the pool and seen people having sex in the pool. That, in my opinion, is just nasty. I refuse to get into the pool now. The office has plenty of policies posted and communicated, but the important ones are not enforced, only the ones who irritate you and make you pay more money are enforced. So, in my opinion, anyone who is a working adult, or anyone with a family, or anyone who needs any type of worry-free living should not sign a lease at this apartment. Your life will become more of a pain than a pleasure.
