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.

I did extensive research in choosing an apartment when getting ready to move to Charlotte. I knew I wanted to be in Uptown, and the expansion and revitalization of the First Ward area around College and Tryon was really exciting. Finding The Ellis was the winner! I locked in an amazing floor plan, at an amazing price, with two free months of rent. The complex itself is very well maintained, the hallways are clean, it smells clean (that's a big deal for me), the amenities for both the Midrise and the Tower are incredible, and parking deck parking for only $25 a month. It is a secure and safe complex. When maintenance has to enter your apartment, management is always letting you know, and asking your permission. The maintenance team is fantastic. Always quick to respond, in person, at your apartment. They follow up to make sure things are taken care of, and are super friendly and explain what they're doing if you happen to be at home when they are there. Highly, highly recommend The Ellis to anyone wanting affordable Uptown living!

Amazing amenities and I love my apartment view! I would recommend the Ellis to anyone looking to live in a high rise apartment. The events are well planned and thought out as well.
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
We are so happy YOU chose to live with us! We are lucky to have such an awesome team and we are honored to serve our neighbors. Thank you again for your comments, as well as your continued residency.
Apartment itself is nice but the large amount of homelessness and noise in the area is almost not worth renewing my lease. 1BD has no balcony. Amenities are great. I would consider this location for a 2BD and up.
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
Hello, Hope that you are well and thank you for taking the time to give us feedback regarding your experience. We would love to set up a time to talk through more ways to resolve any disappointment that you may have. We look forward to speaking. Warm Wishes, Taylor Nowicky
Just go elsewhere! I'm sure you can afford it and so could I. Trying to even reserve an apt at this place was a headache and the staff lacked empathy and actual reasons for why they wanted more information than mortgage lenders. This building is in an unsafe area with homeless lined up just on the adjacent street. There's also a loud hookah bar across the street and it stays open late. Choose peace not this place.
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
Hello, Thank you so much for your feedback regarding our application process. We would love to have the opportunity to speak with you and discuss our process and any other issues that you may have had regarding your visit. We look forward to hearing from you. Rachel Gargano
I toured the high-rise studio and 1-bedroom apartment homes and they are beautiful with concrete construction between the ceilings and floors. The 33rd floor clubhouse with pool and commons areas is breathtaking. I also toured the mid-rise 1-bedroom apartment homes and I was impressed with the size of the unit. All in all I am excited to move-in and experience all this community has to offer on a daily basis.
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for your 5 Star Review. We love to hear that you loved touring our community and will be calling The Ellis home! We look forward to seeing you at our resident events! Thanks, Josh Dunston Assistant Manager
These people literally took my money and made it seem like I was moving into a place. Communication SUCKS! I moved out of my apartment in Columbia only to be told I was unable to move here after she was aware that I had no where else to go. Leasing management sucks at communicating. I wish I would have never trusted these people. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
Hello,Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your valuable feedback.

This entire process has been very questionable at best. Poor communication and lack of follow up are two of my pet peeves in any leasing staff and The Ellis represented both well in my experience.
Property Manager at The Ellis, Responded To This Review
I am so very sorry to hear about your experience while in search for a new home as we strive to offer the best customer service to all future residents. I would be happy to personally help to show you around our community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks, Josh
