A year ago, Walker Steele Creek, which was formerly Steele Creek Rivergate, was a nice place to live. It was quiet, new, and inviting. The cost of rent has increased by a high percentage. The parking situation is very bad. The area is known for high crime. The smell of weed is always overwhelming.
Rent increases are common, but it seems like the property management team increases rent with the goal of forcing existing residents out so they can make room for new, higher-paying tenants.
Good
...luck finding a place to park. They planned poorly. Every space in the complex is full, even though there is a rule against more than two cars per unit. They tried a permit system but gave up after a few weeks of residents and visitors getting their cars booted. Now they want an extra $100 per car per month if you want to park in front of your building.
I would recommend parking at Target and walking to your apartment if you move to Walker Steele Creek, but because of the high crime, it might be dangerous. Police activity is common at WSC and there have been cars stolen from the resident lot, drug deals, and other crimes committed at the complex according to CMPD.
People are constantly smoking, skateboarding, and wandering the complex late at night. It isn't a safe place to be. It is cheaper than other complexes in Charlotte but not worth your time. You can't opt out of the trash fee. Comporium is the only internet provider offered. The office is closed on Sundays and not open to residents during non-business hours. The pool has been closed because of destructive parties.
