You can't beat the price for the location. We have been living here for over a year and we really enjoyed how the area has developed. The staff has always been communicative and helpful and we appreciate the improvements made to the facilities

Amazing location, walkable to a lot of things. Balcony/front porch is a highlight!! Everyone decorates and puts plants out, making it very homey. Overall a good place. There are roaches, as to be expected in Charlotte. And expect maintenance requests to take a long time to be responded to, sometimes fully ignored.

Great Manager Daleia! She has gone above & beyond in assisting our special logistical needs. The coordination coming from two different states was a nightmare. However, Daleia was always available with a positive, supportive attitude & made for a much easier transition. With multiple changes in our itinerary, she didn't give up on us. Daleia is a great asset to your community, if not for her we may have given up. We love our apartment and location. Grateful to find Uptown Gardens!

Window is dirty but I cannot clean for 3rd floor The carpet too old. It has been five years since the previous renter. Air conditioner may have mold and make me allergic.

The staff has been wonderful, and Britany has been attentive and communicative. We enjoy our building and the amenities it provides. The area is great, and the complex facilitates a great atmosphere. Work order requests are swift. Garbage is a valet service. All fantastic

We are still new to the community but love it so far! The apartment is spacious, comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being so close to the city. Great location and very affordable!

Love how quiet and peaceful it is here! It’s an older complex and probably could use some updates, but the space in the apartments are great and you cannot beat the location.
