Never Gave Me My Deposit
August 29, 2023Poor management at this community. The staff is always different. They lied about my refund amount for months and I have not received it or any correspondence from corporate and I moved out in March. My apartment was vandalized and squatted in while I was away as well as others due to break ins from the attic spaces being connected to the other units, but I was somehow held responsible for damages. Very unprofessional.Review from Apartments.com
1-2 year wait, application fee eaten
July 5, 2023I'm new to Charlotte. I was applying to many places. I'm not sure why this place is listed as available on many platforms. When in fact there is a 1-2 year waitlist I was quite puzzled. Seems like very poor management for sure. Just update the platforms to save others trouble. Taking $25 for something you can't give is well... But ok I truly feel sorry for this business, and management.Review from Apartments.com
Location, Location, Location & That's All
December 15, 2021After living in this complex for almost two years, I can absolutely say that this is by far the dirtiest and under-managed complex I have ever lived in. The amount of trash and litter found around the apartments is disgusting. My A/C has never worked properly, even after countless times of reaching out to management and having someone come and "fix it" over and over again. The dumpsters get so overfilled and the residents just throw their trash around the sides of the dumpster causing an ...infestation of bugs that get in the apartments, including mine, which is so embarrassing. For several weeks straight, the dumpsters were never emptied and theres was trash everywhere and after calling the residential office, they told me there was nothing that could be done about it. The rent is definitely affordable and the location is amazing but it just doesn't make up for how bad the quality of living is in the apartments. You definitely get what you pay for in Charlotte.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

May 16, 2019Nice clean area, professional office staff, and seems to be what I am looking for. I that they should at least have a waiting list for people to apply. I don't think you should have to wait for a vacancy before you can apply for the property.Review from Apartments.com

October 15, 2018You, owners of this complex, do not care about the appearance of the property. If your not gonna have grass, lay down an inexpensive alternative. The glum, brown ground doesn't add any cheer to the place.Review from Apartments.com

Poor Service
May 25, 2018The only luxury I get from living here at First Ward is the location. There is something always going wrong in my apartment for me not to be home often. Pipes bursting, Water Main flooding people homes, water bubbles in the ceiling from the water damaged, dishwasher burnt out, ceiling separated from the wall etc. etc. all maintenance do is take things from other apartments and switch them out ...even light bulbs. Then one person in the office without calling any names had the nerve to say "we ...never had any problems with this apartment until you moved in" as if I just moved here just to do damage or as if I'm a messy person. I feel the only person that do what they are suppose to do and goes over and beyond for all the resident's here at First Ward Place is Jamaal. He is quick to his feet, has the knowledge of any question that is asked and if he don't he finds out and responds within 48 hours, he is always first to respond, most importantly he takes his time he listens and communicate effectively in a timely manner.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
love First Ward
May 17, 2018Jamaal, is very professional. I love the fact that he is very concern about the tenants, goes over and beyond to meet the tenant needs expeditiously. First Ward is in a nice area, very nice place to live. Jamaal is a good look for 1st Ward.Review from Apartments.com
