Post Gateway Place

DO NOT LIVE HERE.
My roommate and I recently just moved out and had a terrible experience. Our lease ended on April 3^rd and everything went smoothly. ONE MONTH after moving out my roommate and I received emails saying we owed $ 700 of property damage. We had no kind of mail, phone call, or e-​mail prior to this notice. Immediately, I contacted my old leasing office and they told me it was ‘not in their hands’. After walking through the apartment there were no issues and ONE MONTH later they told us they needed to re-​place the carpet. Completely unacceptable. I plan on deferring as many people as possible from experiencing such a terrible situation

I’ve both rented and owned in this town… and after spending a few years in Chicago, I’m back in the Queen city at the height of the worst real estate market in US history (next to the depression of course) so renting was the only option I would consider.
I wanted to walk to work (a bank… go figure) but some of the price in the middle of the city are Chicago… and EVEN NYC prices!!! WTF?
So Gateway was a good compromise and Post properties were top notch in getting me set up. They showed me a ton of units, helped me get enough storage in the building, plus additional parking for my convertible and a secure area along with a few discounts and very quick follow up on the first couple of fix it items I had when I moved in.
Add in online rent payment capabilties and secure gated environment, it has been a great experience renting from these folks. I’d highly recommend them.

We live at Post Gateway, and it’s worked out really well for us so far. I don’t really agree that it feels like a college campus. I guess the building is somewhat dorm-​like, but it’s not a real communal place. At least not fur us; we rarely see our neighbors outside of the parking deck. Which is fine.
On warm weekend days, there can be a somewhat fratty scene at the pool, which is commonplace in Charlotte. Loud music, beer, generally partying are big on weekends at complex’s pools.
Generally, the management has been reliable; lights are fixed, plumbing issues are dealt with quickly, and they’re really on top of their communication. Sometimes on the weekends parties will go late in other apartments, which is annoying from a noise perspective, but people are pretty respectful of neighbors.
My biggest complaint is that the hallways are pretty drab (like a back stairwell), but the units themselves are really nice. I love the location, too – right near downtown but not really in the mess of it.

Post Gateway is a pretty cool apartment complex. If you are into the whole college feel, this is totally the place you’d want to be. Be leary of the apartments you may be shown that are right next to the train tracks, especially if you are a light sleeper. The units are nice and well kept. The negative for me was that it felt like a college campus, and I was looking for a more quiet type of place.
