    Overall great place among the options and prices you’ll see around the area. Safe and secure from the parking to mail to apartment. Issues with pet owners not picking up after themselves and major garage issue- not enough spots for residents on their floor.

      Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you feel great in your home and appreciate your recognition of the overall value we offer. We understand your concerns about pet waste and parking. Please know that we are actively working to improve both areas. As we near full occupancy, parking availability has become more limited, but we have recently opened up additional spaces and continue to offer reserved parking options to guarantee a spot. Feel free to reach out to the leasing office for details on any current specials or to secure a reserved space. Thank you again for being a valued member of our community!

    I’ve lived at the Penrose for two years now and really love it! It’s the perfect location in South End and the building is always kept very clean. My favorite thing is how quick maintenance comes to fix something if needed. I’ve always had a great experience with all of the maintenance workers, but especially Hugo! He was so attentive and fixed something that I didn’t even realize needed fixing. He also brought my dog a toy which was really going above and beyond. Highly recommend living here!

    Great location Lobby is a bit much in terms of the strong perfume like smell Stairwells look like they need a good cleaning Staff is nice! Maybe check to see if people parking are supposed to be parking? First come first serve is great for the price but half the spots are compact so that is a big detail to take into account

  • Be cautious when renting here

    September 29, 2025
    As a former resident and the guarantor parents, we wish we had looked more closely at resident reviews. The initial, in-person tour of The Penrose was great! Once we decided on this property, however, the management office became difficult to work with. We have now noticed other reviews mentioning they ignore repeated requests regarding security deposits & that is definitely our experience. As guarantors/business-owners doing the same business they do (e.g. leasing space in buildings to tenants), ...
    it's difficult to understand. The return deposit check is not that much money...it's truly the principle because withholding it is unethical and illegal. It also seems unusual that, as guarantors, they can demand such sensitive & personal information from you, request checks via overnight/express mail, take every rent payment directly out of your account and then refuse any communication with you because you are "not the leaseholder." When the family member who was the leaseholder tried to speak with them, they provided zero options to a problem. So, we submitted Durable Power of Attorney paperwork showing we are all legally able to discuss this lease with them. Then, we proactively provided a legal, written solution regarding the problem that was preventing them from reissuing the check. This was over two weeks ago. Three separate submittals. Zero response. Plus, several other attempts to rectify this over many months now. Under NC law, deposits must be returned within 30 days. Be aware of this when renting here.
    • Property Manager Responded

      October 1, 2025
      Dear Mrs. Duncan, Thank you for your continued communication. Upon further review, I can confirm that the security deposit refund was issued and received. It was made out to the leaseholders of record, your daughter and her roommate, in accordance with the lease agreement. While we understand that the check was not in your name, as the guarantor and not a leaseholder, you are not the legal recipient of the refund under state law or our leasing policies. We do occasionally encounter situations where parents or guarantors assume their adult children are still in student or college-sponsored housing. We completely understand how that can lead to confusion. However, The Penrose is a conventional housing community, and under standard leasing laws, all legal and financial matters are handled directly with the named leaseholders. We did make efforts to see if the check could be modified, including reviewing the Durable Power of Attorney documentation you submitted. However, because the lease ...
      was jointly held, any refund must be issued to both residents listed on the lease, not to a guarantor or third party. We understand your frustration, and while we are disappointed that you have chosen to share this matter on multiple public platforms, we truly had hoped for a more positive resolution. Our goal is always to support our residents and their families with professionalism and care. We are sorry that this outcome did not meet your expectations. If either leaseholder needs further clarification or documentation, we are happy to assist them directly.

  • Would not recommend

    June 30, 2025
    We used to live on the first floor right next to the dog park. One day, someone’s dog attacked mine and left a hole in its neck. I had to rush to the vet and didn’t get the owner’s info in the moment. When I went to the front desk later to ask for help identifying them, they refused to share any video or info. Huge red flag. Also, the walls are insanely thin. You can literally hear everything. The place was built super cheaply, and for how much they charge in rent, it’s just not worth it. ...
    Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

      July 3, 2025
      Hi, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience ,that sounds incredibly upsetting, and we hope your dog made a full recovery.

This policy is in place to ensure resident privacy is respected and not subject to misuse or sensationalism. We appreciate your feedback and take all concerns seriously.

    I had 8 hours to find an apartment and left the Penrose as my last of many tours because I had a good feeling about them. Within 5 minutes of my tour with Vanessa I was sold. The entire management & maintenance team is so wonderful & there is a great sense of community. This is the only apt complex I found that doesn't have carpet in units & the amenities are stunning. Cannot recommend living her enough!
