I agree with Sunny and Saneely. I've been living at Colonial Grand since May of last year and have been very happy with my apt. The proximity to the grocery store and restaurants is wonderful and it's only a half mile from I-77.
When I was looking last year, these are the apt complexes that made my short list:
Colonial Grand Huntersville -
Colonial Properties Trust - Colonial Grand at Huntersville
- Exit 23 - I chose it for it's proximity, the fact it was new as well as most of the businesses around it including the hospital, and it's access to I-77. When traveling south, the traffic tends to 'open' up here because I-77 goes from 2 lanes to 4.
Camden Sedgebrook -
Huntersville, NC Apartments - Camden Sedgebrook
- Exit 25 - I think the prices were a little lower here. The apts were nice, but not as new as the other two and the roads seemed really narrow.
Carrington Park -
Home
- Exit 28 - Also a new complex with similar amenities found at Colonial Grand. I like the layouts and runs about the same price as Colonial Grand. My turnoff was more Exit 28, seemed more crowded than what I liked.
This was what I posted last year after I made my visit:

Ended up choosing Colonial Grand. I was looking for something new that had never been lived in and had a similar budget of under 1300. All of these apartment complexes were under 1300 for the 3 bedroom / 2 bath units. Both Carrington Place and Colonial Grand were brand new.
I chose Colonial Grand because it's 1/2 a mile off of exit 23. Has 9' ceilings with washer and dryer included in the rent. Also the bathroom countertops of 42" while I think the standard is 36", I'm still young, but it's nice not having to bend over too far. Also all three bedrooms had walk in closets with lots of storage. Two ceiling fans, one in the master and one in the living room. Rent also included a standard cable package - 75 channels. Kitchen was great too, tile for kitchen and bathrooms - carpet elsewhere, if you'd like I have tons of photos - just PM me and I'll email them to you.
As for the other's, Carrington Place was beautiful, just liked the layout a little more at Colonial Grand. One Norman Square seemed a little older and everything was wooded and hidden, just personally felt a little dark to me. And Camden seemed really crowded, everything felt like it was right on top of your when you were in the middle of the complex. Colonial Grand seemed a little more spread out to me.
That said, I live in PA and am just getting ready to move down May 1st, so this is all just the opinion of someone who's spent 3 total days in Charlotte, hope it helps.
