Property Ratings at The Francis
Great community, ammenities and are close to everything in the city south end. We have really liked our unit by the only downside is the massive increase in our renewal which was around $250. We are looking at other options but have loved living here.

Thank you for your wonderful review! If you have any questions about your renewal, please don't hesitate to reach out, we would love to have you stay with us at The Francis!
Move in was a breeze due to amazing service from Hayley and Catherine. They answered all of the questions I have had, secured my packages I sent over, and reserved the elevator without any issues.

We have loved living here. It’s honestly been awesome. The lovely ladies at the front desk and Concierge have been awesome. Additionally (and most recently) we put it in a work order for repair in our closet. Within 2 hrs of the submitted work order, the item was fixed. Never seen such fast service before. This has made our experience here one in which makes us think we’ll stay another year here.

Great apartment complex, but the shortage of EV chargers is a serious problem. I won't be able to continue living here if this isn't resolved. It's the only thing preventing a perfect review.
Property Manager at The Francis, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your review! We know EVs are becoming very popular, so we are certainly looking into hopefully being able to accommodate this in the future!
Pretty good so far, concierge is very nice! We have met with the maintenance supervisor, nice guy with high energy. We love the rooftop pool, mornings out there are amazing!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are always happy to help anyway we can and we are so happy you are loving life at The Francis!
Living at The Francis has been an incredible experience. From the moment I moved in, I felt right at home. The location is unbeatable—nestled in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, I’m just steps away from great restaurants, parks, coffee shops, and entertainment. Whether I want to catch a show, meet up with friends, or just enjoy a peaceful walk, everything I need is right outside my door.

My resident experience has been great overall. The community is well-maintained, the neighbors are friendly, and the location is very convenient. The only minor downside is the train noise, which can be noticeable at times, but it hasn’t significantly affected my overall enjoyment of living here.

We absolutely love living at the Francis! We have been here for a few years and couldn’t think of a better place. We would love for the outlets in the parking garage to function but know that is a different property management company not fixing the issue.
Property Manager at The Francis, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your review! We are thrilled that you are loving life at The Francis in Uptown! We will certainly continue to try and get the issues with the outlets resolved. Let us know if you need anything!
Twelve pool chairs for hundreds of apartments is frighteningly ugly on the weekends when people are clumped all together, three and four to a towel, bringing yucky folding chairs and sitting a top picnic tables. It seems like false advertising to have a lovely pool and not be able to enjoy it. However, aside from that, the building is beautiful, and the gym is stunning.
Property Manager at The Francis, Responded To This Review
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We’ve received confirmation from our vendor that shipping for our new pool furniture will begin soon! While we’re just as eager as you are to see the new setup, these types of large orders can sometimes take several weeks to arrive. In the meantime, we’ve placed temporary chairs around the pool area so that everyone can continue to relax and enjoy the space. We truly appreciate your patience and can’t wait to unveil the new furniture very soon!
Couldn’t ask for a better home. The residence is clean, peaceful, and well designed. I love the location it’s close to Whole Foods and my gym which is perfect.

I recently moved to the Francis, and I genuinely love it here. From day one, everything has been seamless, and I already feel at home. Big thanks to Tiara and Ty for being so helpful throughout the entire process - they made everything easy and stress-free. Also really appreciate the maintenance team and concierge - everyone’s been super responsive, friendly, and on top of things. The whole vibe here is peaceful, clean, and just feels right. I’m so happy I chose this place!!!

Unfortunately, the last year of living here as not been enjoyable. Residents partying loudly at all hours of the night. Trash out in the hallways at all hours, including days we do not have trash pick up scheduled. Stains in the hallway carpet due to this. Limiting when we can use the amenities, I personally think the clubhouse should be available to residents at any hour with the amount we have to pay to live here and with residents working jobs at different hours sometimes you may need to use the facilities if you are scheduled for a shift outside of a 9-5. Light fixtures falling out of the ceiling due to upstairs neighbor dropping things on their floor. Security guards/concierge letting guests in the building without checking them in, when the policy is for each resident to fill out a form for guests to check in upon arrival. This place could use a revamp, and quickly. It's labeled as upscale living, but at the current moment I don't feel the building lives up to what it once was.

Thank you for your review and feed back! We want everyone to enjoy life at The Francis so if there is anything extra we might be able to do please let us know! We do have set hours in respect for the homes located next the amenity areas, however the gym is 24-hours for convenience! if you need anything please don't hesitate to reach out!
Living at The Francis is fantastic. From the amenities to lovely staff, I wouldn’t want to rent anywhere else! The ease of living here, in Uptown where I can access a variety of things is one of the best parts.

Thanks for the shout-out to our team! They genuinely love what they do, and hearing that it makes a difference for our residents is the best reward. We appreciate you being part of our community!
I LOVE living here so far and the concierge people have been top notch but everyone at the leasing office has been more incompetent than the next one. They made my life a living hell before I moved in yesterday. Each person telling me a different thing, And then lying stating they didn’t say it when I have their emails in writing. I’ve never been more gaslit in my life. The entire leasing office has disrespected me more in my 55 years than ever before. Each and every one needs a serious training on how to deal with perspective tenants and customer service.

I’ve lived here for 15 months and highly recommend this apartment, especially if you’re new to Charlotte. The rooms, amenities, location, concierge, leasing office, and maintenance team are all outstanding and consistently exceed expectations. However, it’s challenging for EV owners, as charging stations are limited and extremely slow, making it difficult to find an available spot. I hope the community will soon expand and upgrade the charging facilities to match their otherwise impeccable standards.

Thanks so much for the great review! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying our community. We’re always working to make this a place where everyone feels connected and cared for—thanks for being a part of it!
The Francis is the best apartment community in uptown! Great location and lots of variety to choose from in floorplans. Catherine at the concierge is so perfect for her position. She makes living here a delight. Tiara in the leasing office was exceptional. I love living here!

I've enjoyed my stay. The view is amazing especially at sunrise and sunset. The amenities are nice but I wish the community room was open 24hrs like the gym.

I've been living in my apartment for 1 year now, and it's been a very positive experience overall. The community is friendly and welcoming, which has made settling in much easier. The location is convenient, with easy access to local amenities and transportation. The apartment itself is comfortable and well-maintained, providing a great environment to come home to after a busy day. However, a major challenge is the limited availability of EV chargers. They are often in high demand, making it difficult to charge my vehicle as needed. If this issue is not addressed, I may have to consider relocating in the future.

Tiara in the leasing office was great! She is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I met with her on Wednesday and am moving in on Saturday! She showed me apartments, told me exactly what I needed to do to get in one, and helped me with the orientation process. Thank you!

The Francis staff, shoutout to Tiara, Catherine, and Claudia, have been nothing but professional and helpful during my move in. Tiara was super helpful and knowledgeable working with me to find the right floor plan and view. Claudia exhibited empathy and probity to help resolve a minor issue with my move in. Catherine has been a great resource and helping logistically get settled in my unit. I look forward to enjoying my new apartment and look forward to being a resident here.

Love the location but the parking is not good. It is owned by a third party and they are not responsive. Neighbors smoke so much weed that it smells in my apartment.
