Crestmont At Ballantyne

Pros: pool and granite counters
Cons:
mess and moving pods have sat in much needed parking spots since move in date April 1^st.
2.Constant second hand smoke exposure in hallways is so bad my apt smells like smoke.
3. Staff has keys to your place and will come in with OUT knocking and when you are at work.
4. Time warner cable has a dead zone in this area so internet is a joke.
5. Not everything discussed with staff is kept confidential.
6. No rhyme or reason to organizing packages in main office so they «didn’t have» three of my packages but then «found them» upon a second look after I could prove on 3 separate incidences packages were signed for.
The office manager replied «I didn’t sign for that personally so I didn’t know it was here» it was a HUGE package. On the same day. Maybe maintenance workers shouldn’t be allowed to sign for packages when there is no system in place if you are too dumb to know it was on your personal desk.
***ask around. Others have lost packages, had laundry stolen and have similar complaints with staff letting themselves in apt as well as. That should never happen. Period.
Lastly, outside hallways are filthy/​trash drop off is smelly and the grills don’t work right. I could go on… Don’t let the pictures fool you.

Terrible! I’m a single, mature, professional. I’ve owned several homes and lived in another apt in Raleigh. I can say from experience that Crestmont at Ballantyne is an awful living experience.
It looks good on the drive in… but it ends there.
The management is not friendly or accomodating. The apartment is roach infested. The offce computers rarely work. The pool is dirty. The don’t enforce parking rules. The list goes on… and all this for $ 1000 per month!
The last complaint that I made to the front office resulted in this response ” … well, we have a lot of lawyers that write these lease agreements, so I doubt you’ll find a way out of it”.
Really?!
Go down the road or across the street. If you have to rent… don’t rent here.
