Junction 1504

We lived in Junction for 13 months and moved our earlier this year. We chose it because of all the positive reviews about the management company. The complex was bought around March 2023 and all the staff was replaced. The new staff seems nice but is generally not very helpful.
Pros:
The location is unbeatable and the apartments themselves seem to be in great condition. Higher ceilings make the apartments seem much bigger.
The dog park is excellent; having turf is so nice when it rains and you... don’t want your pups all muddy.
The gym just got redone with some new equipment.

Cons:
Parking is difficult. If you get home after 6PM you may not find parking. I often had to park in a handicap spot and wake up early to move it or park at the other end of the complex and walk 10 minutes to get to my door. Visitor parking is worse. I often parked my car in a visitor spot hours before our guests got there to save a spot, because there are not any open spots (especially on weekends).
Safety became more of an issue while we lived there. The pool area was broken into a few different times during our lease. Typically the area would be trashed and any packages left out were torn open. A lot of times car windows would be shattered and I think a car was actually stolen once or twice. The gates often don’t work and management doesn’t seem to make much effort to fix it, so the area isn’t actually secured (this was a deal breaker for us & a main reason we moved).
Packages were also unsecured pretty often. They would be left out in the open - sometimes inside the gated area (with broken gates) and sometimes in the open where anyone can walk up and grab them. People regularly had packages stolen.
Lots of people let their dogs wander the complex off leash. They also regularly do not pick up the dog poop - I once came home to a pile of dog poop on my front mat.
We also chose the complex because it seemed to be on the older side of southend - still young and fun but not necessarily loud at night. The complex seems to be getting rowdier - loud music Thursday through Saturday, drunk people knocking on your door looking for someone’s apartment, Jell-O shots at the pool, etc.
Price - it is obviously quite expensive. By southend standards not insane but definitely seems overpriced for the amount of problems. After our lease was up we knew we wanted to move for safety reasons but when we saw the significant increase for a renewal - we were shocked Read More

The staff at Junction is always so helpful, welcoming and easy to work with. This is my second round of living at Junction. I looked at other complexes in the south end area and this one just has it all .

I highly recommend "Junction 1504 because I can be outside and at my car in two minutes. I takes five minutes to walk the dog. I like all the trees and immaculate flower pots everywhere.
It's the only old "Garden style" apartments in South End that I know of.
The rest are five stories or more walled off and enclosed - you've seen them living the tram.
I'm think he city even passed an ordinance that they must all be 5 STORY -- so Junction is a luck anomaly,
I've never lived in one, but... I've heard stories about the 5 story _mid-sized apartments -- you gotta park in garage, you must use elevator to walk dog -- and I can only imagine how nasty those halls must be at times. If that's your thing, be my guest.
Junction's upper management sucks -- but don't they all?
SO I stay put.

I love the location. I love how the leasing office management is laid back and let the residents feel like they’re not being watched every second. I love the dog park and the mobile pet salon that comes each month for free baths paid for by junction (Really the residences) They just started offering workout classes outside which is awesome.

Junction 1504 is the best place to life in Charlotte! You cannot beat it’s location in south end. The staff is the best in the business!
