Hi! I am new to Charlotte and working Huntersville. I really need advice on an apartment. I am looking for:
-one bedroom one bath.
-minimal square feet
-Lake Norman, Cornelius, Huntersville or Davidson Areas.
-Safe, Fairly quiet. CLEAN!
-around $700 for month's lease.
Please please please help me! I appreciate it! Also, if you have any opinions on:
Birkdale Village Apts, Camden Sedgewick, Redcliffe at Kenton, One Norman Square, Bexley Rosedale, Colonial Grande or Bexley Harborside..please comment! THANK YOU!
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.
I'm gonna see how many times I can use this quote.

I live at Auston Woods, which is at Exit 18, so very close to Huntersville, etc. Right by the new mall, and accessible to H'Ville either by hitting the interstate or going up through Mt.Holly/Huntersville Road and then the business park.
My 1BR/1BA apartment is 800 square feet. Maintenance has been great and my unit is well-insulated against sound and energy loss. It's a gated community. I've lived there for almost 4 years now and find it to be clean and quiet and I've never had any problems with crime. My unit came with a washer and dryer and a microwave.
My monthly rent is $679. I'm not sure if that's comparable to what "new" renters would pay or not. I've been there for a while. On the other hand, they might be offering even better rates today because of the economy.
Electricity generally runs around $45 per month (the units don't have gas, so that's a savings as well) and water for me is about $12 per month.
Are you only looking for a month? or just looking to spend less than $700 a month? You may want your own place, but I know of several people renting room(s) for cheap too and variable leases.
As far as Huntersville, I like the places off Gilead... It's a good area. I would avoid Harris if you can, I lived there and liked it, but if you are working in Huntersville, no reason to go there.
Try the Marquis at Northcross.. I think that's what it's called. They're running GREAT specials right now and it's right near birkdale and affordable. They also have this thing where you can be wait listed, where you put your name on the list.. they will lock in the current rate/special they have at the time you go in, and then whenever you wanna move in, an apartment will be ready for you (as long as you tell them ahead of time when you want to move in obviously) and it will be at that locked in rate.
Kenton @ redCliffe or whatever it's called, we toured there and we really liked it.. very nice complex, great location.. good specials.
Someone mentioned Marina Shores.. they are PRICEY, and I think the apartments are old and crappy looking!!!! Wouldn't bother!
I think the Bexley's are also pricey, but apartments run awesome specials in the beginning months of the year.. so give it a shot!
