Charlesgate Apartments

"We lived at the Charlesgate Apartments from 1996-2003 and loved every minute of it. Since then, I have seen the welcomed updates to the units, and what was a fabulous apartment community is now even better! Highly recommended."

"NOT A SAFE COMMUNITY We've been living at Charlesgate for less than a year when all four wheels of our car were stolen right outside of our apartment in the middle of the night. You would assume that an apartment complex for a largely 55+ community would be safe. But while the residents were great and very supportive after the incident, we heard from them that this has happened several times before in the last few years. People have had their wheels, airbags, money, etc. stolen from their cars. Despite that, there are no cameras or other security measures put in place to help prevent this kind of thing. In fact, my neighbors have resorted to putting their own cameras in their windows to guard their property (which due to low lighting and poor night vision video quality, didn’t really help us identify the perpetrators nor their vehicle). The management at Charlesgate didn’t do much to help, only stating that they “cannot control the crime”. They seemed mostly concerned with my car being an eyesore sitting in the parking lot with no wheels. Let this be a tale of caution to anyone expecting to feel safe and secure at Charlesgate. You will not receive any compassion or help from management when you become a victim of crime."

"My husband and I have been a Charlesgate just about 7 months now and love it! The apartments are very spacious, quiet, and so centrally located. Management is very professional and responsive. Great place to live!"

"Wonderful, quiet and well maintained 55+ community with large apartments. Washer/dryer in apartment, updated appliances, fresh carpet, and clean common areas. Great place to live when you are retired. - From a verified resident on ApartmentRatings"

"The only reason they get 2 stars in for the quietness and spaciousness. Now for everything else. The management couldnt care less obviously. It is supposed to be for 55 plus, yet they make you go to a completely different complex to speak with leasing office, then they dont even let you use the bathroom (which they have 2 in the leasing office), if they dont care about the elderly's needs as a perspective tenant , they certainly wont care when they move in. Absolutely disgusting. you are there sometimes for over an hour, and you cant have a designated bathroom? Then you have to drie a mile from the leasing office to the actual charlesgate building.Walls and front doors were dirty. Leasing woman agent just ignorant. Tiny ENCLOSED shared hallway (a small square hallway shared by 4 doors on each flloor), yet they allow smoking inside the apts. So as soon as someone opens their door or not, smoke will go right into hallway, im sure half the elderly people have breathing issues already. Every floor you either walk up or down stairs. HOW is this for 55 plus years of age. Most horrible set up, with management that doesnt care."
