Mallard Creek by ARIUM Apartments

I love this place! All of the staff are SUPER nice, always helpful, and respond to emails and work orders as quickly as possible. The office staff hosts fun events when they can (pre-quarantine, virtually during quarantine), call to check on you just to see how you are doing, and give out random gifts every now and then! It's pretty affordable, and a quiet neighborhood tucked away off of Mallard Creek Church right next to the greenway. It's a really convenient location near highways, gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants. My dog loves going to the little dog park within the complex to get some exercise and sniff all the things! The buildings are definitely older, so even the renovated ones have some dated aspects to them, but I don't necessarily mind that. It would be nice to have a better tub/shower - it's just old, crackling porcelain and tile walls, and honestly should just be replaced, but it does the job. Overall, it's a nice apartment (I'm in a two bedroom) - cute balcony overlooking lots of trees, white kitchen and bathroom cabinets, plenty of storage, etc.). I can just tell the age of the building by the style of the doors and knobs, the painted tile around the fireplace, the showers of course, the counter-tops are old and just covered with a new laminate over them but don't look bad, and the appliances aren't ridiculously old, but they aren't brand new either. I love that my apartment doesn't have carpet, and the floor is a pretty grey wood pattern, but it's the cheap laminate little stick on panels, and they keep peeling up in random spots and I have to try and stick it back down, and the floor also gets indentations where the legs of heavy furniture sit (bed, couch, etc.- which obviously I can't help, so I shouldn't be held responsible for that later). It's still one of the quietest, homiest, and most affordable places in Charlotte though, and it's close to work for me, so the good outweighs the bad. There's plenty of parking, and the valet trash can be a huge help. I've decorated my apartment really nicely so it totally feels like home, and enjoy having a few close friends visit for a game night every now and then! I've enjoyed living here for the past year and renewed to stay another year. :)

Nice apartments with laundry in unit. A little bit of crime in the area but nothing to bad. Friendly staff always willing to help!

Great office staff in Lorien and Michelle! Very nice and down to earth. Maintenance usually responds quick to service requests. Fairly quiet and secluded neighborhood besides a little bit of city traffic. In all, pretty good to me!
