The Addison At South Tryon Apartment Homes

I moved in when they first opened. Even though I had great rental history, they still asked for a deposit. However, unlike most rentals they will keep your deposit of the carpet is not brand new for 5 yr period. Of course you will have normal wear and tear, so they will take your deposit regardless. STANDARD $ 675.00 regardless of the apartment size. The amenities are good, but the walls are extremely thin. Parking sucks as well. DO NOT LET THE LOOKS DECEIVE YOU. The only thing good there is the maintenance staff… btw how come everyone knows the maintenance. something’s always going on around there.

I apologize for the extensive length of this review… I have a lot to say apparently lol. So I’ve lived here for a year and a half and I feel like I can properly review it. I moved in before the complex was even finished being built. In the initial walkthrough I noticed some issues (the apartment had never been lived in before) and I reported them, hopefully I don’t have issues when moving out. Things were great for the first few months, but to be fair not many people were living here. As people started moving in things started getting bad. People weren’t picking up after their dogs, parking was non-​existent, the gates were always broken, the mail situation was ridiculous, and the amount of partying and drug usage was high. We weren’t told when we moved in that the complex also served as student housing for the Art Institute. After about 6 or 7 months of living here we got a notice on our door saying that our building had been labeled a drug problem. I was horrified and wanted to move but the cost to break the lease was prohibitive. Many many notices were handed out and management cracked down on the community. As a result things got better! The apartments themselves are okay and spacious, however they aren’t the highest quality. You run into issues of poorly wired track lighting that you have to buy expensive bulbs for and burn out quickly, pink mold that grows voraciously, which I’ve been told it’s from poor construction/​and design. There are cracks in the walls and uneven outlets and zero lighting. It can be a dark place if you don’t add in your own lighting and a lot of it.
I did decide to renew my lease as the location is near my work and it was cheaper to stay at the time. I’m not a fan of the area though and most likely will move at the end of this second lease term. Addison is now under new management (the old management was bought out), and the transition has been on occasion difficult. However maintenance stayed the same and those guys are AMAZING! Seriously they are great guys, super nice, and will lend a hand any time you need it. They are the bright spot in the complex and probably the sole reason I give this place 3 stars on here instead of 2. Since new management has taken over many of the old issues have resurfaced. People are NOT picking up after their dogs anymore yet again and parking has become an issue. Their response is that there is plenty of street parking outside the gates. Well I don’t pay over $ 1200 a month to park 5 minutes walking distance away from my apartment because 90% of those spots are also full, in an area that can be shady, and where I’ve seen numerous cars being booted. Some other issues have popped up and there are some nice things as well. People have started smoking in their apartments in my building and I was told that they can’t do anything about it unless I can prove who it is. The lady who lives across from me has two of the most obnoxious dogs who bark non-​stop on days/​nights when she’s not home (hours and hours on end). That’s not the apartment complexes fault that they bark but goes to how thin the walls are. We were lucky that the person who lived above us originally was a very quiet person. Whoever lives up there now, not so much. I expect to hear foot traffic, it is an apartment after all, however I shouldn’t be able to hear their entire conversations while I’m in my bathroom. Sorry people upstairs yes I’ve heard a lot about you that I am quite certain you didn’t want me to know! Also they force you to pay for valet trash and a husband and wife duo pick it up. The husband is a jerk, but the wife is nice. Also new management increased the price and tried to pass it over on everyone, they got snippy with me when I called about it. Told me I had to bring in proof that I was paying less for trash pickup, needless to say that made me angry. So I took in my invoices and the new guy was nicer about it and mentioned that he’d had to do a lot of these changes and was exasperated about it. The pool is nice, but don’t plan on going on the weekend as entire families (who don’t live here) come out and the place gets ridiculous. It’s a small pool to begin with. The dog park is a great perk and most of the owners who use it are a nice group of people/​dogs. The gym is a great little gym and I don’t have any complaints there. I don’t use the tanning bed or the coffee station etc. but I’m sure they are nice.
When living in an apartment you do it with the understanding that there are certain issues that you will have. Noise, people you don’t like, etc. however when a complex labels themselves as a luxury community and charges the high price, then you expect a little more consideration back. I don’t feel like this complex gives enough back to offset the costs. I will again say that you could do worse and if you can get in here under a special then definitely by all means do so, just know what you are in for when you do.

The apartments are nice and the maintenance guys are fabulous. The management has changed a lot and the customer service is better than before. Didn’t get five stars because the mail service is terrible. Multiple packages I was suppose to receive never showed up but confirmed delivered.
