The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Penrose
Overall great place among the options and prices you’ll see around the area. Safe and secure from the parking to mail to apartment. Issues with pet owners not picking up after themselves and major garage issue- not enough spots for residents on their floor.
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you feel great in your home and appreciate your recognition of the overall value we offer. We understand your concerns about pet waste and parking. Please know that we are actively working to improve both areas. As we near full occupancy, parking availability has become more limited, but we have recently opened up additional spaces and continue to offer reserved parking options to guarantee a spot. Feel free to reach out to the leasing office for details on any current specials or to secure a reserved space. Thank you again for being a valued member of our community!
Recently moved in and can’t say enough amazing things about The Penrose. The staff is amazing and the maintenance and cleaning team does a great job at keeping the building clean.
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Hi, we're so glad that we were able to go above and beyond your expectations!
I’ve lived at the Penrose for two years now and really love it! It’s the perfect location in South End and the building is always kept very clean. My favorite thing is how quick maintenance comes to fix something if needed. I’ve always had a great experience with all of the maintenance workers, but especially Hugo! He was so attentive and fixed something that I didn’t even realize needed fixing. He also brought my dog a toy which was really going above and beyond. Highly recommend living here!
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Hello, we strive for 100% satisfaction, and it is great to see you had such a positive experience at The Penrose. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Great location Lobby is a bit much in terms of the strong perfume like smell Stairwells look like they need a good cleaning Staff is nice! Maybe check to see if people parking are supposed to be parking? First come first serve is great for the price but half the spots are compact so that is a big detail to take into account
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Your recommendation means so much to us and we're so happy to have earned it. Thank you again for taking the time to let the world know about your positive experience. Have a great day!
As a former resident and the guarantor parents, we wish we had looked more closely at resident reviews. The initial, in-person tour of The Penrose was great! Once we decided on this property, however, the management office became difficult to work with. We have now noticed other reviews mentioning they ignore repeated requests regarding security deposits & that is definitely our experience. As guarantors/business-owners doing the same business they do (e.g. leasing space in buildings to tenants), it's difficult to understand. The return deposit check is not that much money...it's truly the principle because withholding it is unethical and illegal. It also seems unusual that, as guarantors, they can demand such sensitive & personal information from you, request checks via overnight/express mail, take every rent payment directly out of your account and then refuse any communication with you because you are "not the leaseholder." When the family member who was the leaseholder tried to speak with them, they provided zero options to a problem. So, we submitted Durable Power of Attorney paperwork showing we are all legally able to discuss this lease with them. Then, we proactively provided a legal, written solution regarding the problem that was preventing them from reissuing the check. This was over two weeks ago. Three separate submittals. Zero response. Plus, several other attempts to rectify this over many months now. Under NC law, deposits must be returned within 30 days. Be aware of this when renting here.
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Dear Mrs. Duncan, Thank you for your continued communication. Upon further review, I can confirm that the security deposit refund was issued and received. It was made out to the leaseholders of record, your daughter and her roommate, in accordance with the lease agreement. While we understand that the check was not in your name, as the guarantor and not a leaseholder, you are not the legal recipient of the refund under state law or our leasing policies. We do occasionally encounter situations where parents or guarantors assume their adult children are still in student or college-sponsored housing. We completely understand how that can lead to confusion. However, The Penrose is a conventional housing community, and under standard leasing laws, all legal and financial matters are handled directly with the named leaseholders. We did make efforts to see if the check could be modified, including reviewing the Durable Power of Attorney documentation you submitted. However, because the lease was jointly held, any refund must be issued to both residents listed on the lease, not to a guarantor or third party. We understand your frustration, and while we are disappointed that you have chosen to share this matter on multiple public platforms, we truly had hoped for a more positive resolution. Our goal is always to support our residents and their families with professionalism and care. We are sorry that this outcome did not meet your expectations. If either leaseholder needs further clarification or documentation, we are happy to assist them directly.
Clean, Safe, and Aesthetic living! Great staff, neighbors, and space!
Even after a year at The Penrose, it continues to check off all my boxes. The unique resident events being hosted as well as the workout classes and continued convenience provided by management such as having The Penrose market. Truly love being a Penrose resident.

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him and the entire team—He will be thrilled to know he made such a positive impact! ??
We used to live on the first floor right next to the dog park. One day, someone’s dog attacked mine and left a hole in its neck. I had to rush to the vet and didn’t get the owner’s info in the moment. When I went to the front desk later to ask for help identifying them, they refused to share any video or info. Huge red flag. Also, the walls are insanely thin. You can literally hear everything. The place was built super cheaply, and for how much they charge in rent, it’s just not worth it. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Hi, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience ,that sounds incredibly upsetting, and we hope your dog made a full recovery. Since this review was posted anonymously and we have no record of such an incident within the past year, we’re unable to verify the details. As for your request regarding video footage: to protect the privacy of all residents, we do not release surveillance footage unless it is requested by law enforcement or part of an active legal process. This policy is in place to ensure resident privacy is respected and not subject to misuse or sensationalism. We appreciate your feedback and take all concerns seriously. If you’d like to speak with us directly or provide more details, we welcome you to contact the leasing office at 704-749-9203

I had 8 hours to find an apartment and left the Penrose as my last of many tours because I had a good feeling about them. Within 5 minutes of my tour with Vanessa I was sold. The entire management & maintenance team is so wonderful & there is a great sense of community. This is the only apt complex I found that doesn't have carpet in units & the amenities are stunning. Cannot recommend living her enough!

Hey there - our pleasure! Happy you had a great experience.
I enjoy living here and love my apartment and the amenities. It is in a great location and couldn’t be more convenient to everything in South End. However, the only thing I dislike is the parking situation - I recommend budgeting your car being booted 3x per year.

Location of the penrose is perfect! Workout room is really nice and used daily by guest. They have a few resident events monthly. Garage could be better security-wise.

Not even 1 month into living here, but I am already loving it! Got settled in as quickly as I could and only need a few more household items plus groceries would be helpful! However, I also look forward to trying out the restaurants nearby as I have already been able to try out Wheelz Pizza, The Dumpling Lady, Co-Op, & Pins Mechanical for starters so I haven't made it very far!

Hi there! Thanks so much for letting us know about your experience with The Penrose.
I have enjoyed my time here. The people and location are great. I do think there could be improvements in communication and facilities from the management team and Greystar. Looking forward to hopefully a better 2025!

The penrose is in a great location with tons of shops and restaurants that you can walk to The parking is limited tho and people over park in the compact spots which make it even harder to find spots

So good to hear from you! Thanks for letting us know. Have a great day! Can't wait to see you again! Have an excellent day.
Very good so far recently moved in and it looked like no one even lived here before me. Front office very nice and helpful. Only reason it’s getting one less star is the key did not work when I moved in, which was quite a bit of an inconvenience with two dogs in the hallway, but the maintenance man was lovely and tried his best to fix it.

Aw, thanks! Your amazing feedback and rating mean the world to us.
I absolutely LOVE this apartment complex! They have several community events every month, tons of amazing amenities, and SO dog friendly! All of the workers know my pup, Dakota, by name and love to give her all the pets when they see her in the dog park. The maintenance workers are amazing and so friendly and get the job done ASAP! I couldnt have asked for a better 1st time apartment experience!

Hi there - thanks so much for the high star rating! It's our pleasure to assist! Let us know if anything else comes up, and take care.
The Penrose is in a great location in the south end close to the light rail and many bars / restaurants. It’s a new building, but showing signs of wear and tear due to cheap materials used in construction. Rent is expensive, well above median in Charlotte for similar apartments and you must sign leases for over 1 year at a time or face 20% or more rent increases. Par for the course for Greystar.

Hello, we strive for 100% satisfaction, and it is great to see you had such a positive experience at The Penrose. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you; we are more than happy to help!
The staff is totally lost in their own policies. Good luck ever getting any sleep as it’s just fraternity party most nights and stomping on the floor above you. They’ll nickel and dime you for every little thing. Whatever base rent is add about 200 as they’ll include trash, HOA, Pet, building fees, administrative fees etc. Nice building though
Property Manager at Penrose, Responded To This Review
Hi there, we regret to hear that your recent experience was anything less than exceptional. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we can improve. We hope you will consider us again in the future. Take care.
Overall, has been a good experience mainly due to the quality, size and location of the apartment. I would consider resigning our lease.
