The Estates at Ballantyne

This management company is horrific. When I signed my lease, it was nearly a year before the management that is currently in place. All of the ‘all year round’ amenities we shut down immediately for ‘repairs’. They require 3 months notice before you move, they threaten to fine everyone all the time for a variety of reasons. They have very poor communication, it is very harsh and forceful. It’s become an awful place to live. Don’t let the trees fool you. It’s a headache.

Could not have found a place more perfectly suited to my needs! Every room is just right. I love the layout, the quality of workmanship , and especially the ADA modifications! The appliances are top quality. Robin, the office person I speak with usually, is so polite and eager to help with any issue I may have. I am here to stay!

The staff here are friendly, professional and responsive. The grounds are beautiful and well kept.

We have enjoyed living here for the past 10 years and considered it our home. After 10 years of use, the apartments have become a little shabby looking on the inside and appliances are not working as they used to, but, it's still our home. Maybe the company will eventually change it's policy and replace things as they are needed.

Great space and location!

Upon entering the Bell Ballantyne community you will see a beautifully quaint and elegant group of apartments. The staff are professional and very happy to help. The maintenance staff are friendly and efficient. The lovely pool and small outdoor areas for barbeques make for a relaxing environment for families living in the community. The apartments are completely hidden from view, creating a wonder sense of privacy and security, however, the community is also conveniently located next to the Harris Teeter, the Big View Diner, among other restaurants as well as massage parlors and salons. It's everything a resident would need.

Bell Ballantyne, My experience living here Is one of the most residential neighborhood I ever lived spacious apt, respectful workers, I am very great full.

Bell Ballantyne needs to address the pet policies at the complex. Residents are allowing their pets to urinate and defecate on other residents lawns. Pets are supposed to be curbed!

We really appreciate the friendliness of the staff here at Bell Ballantyne.

I love this place - its like a little hidden away community, lots of trees, and it looks clean and bright. Also, where in every other place Ive lived, there has been a steady stream of inspections or reasons to invade your privacy, at Bell Ballantyne theyre not popping in to your home every other day for whatever reason.

The best place to live. Highly recommend it.

Excellent community

The atmosphere here is so comforting. Its peaceful and quiet yet so perfectly located with amenities right out the front door. Love it!

When I decided to downsize and move to an apartment, it was my first experience with apartment living. As I moved in I began to notice those extras these apartments have. Architectural design with the lovely arches throughout, accent walls (a lovely surprise), recessed arched area in living room, quality appliances and fixtures, and my own private porch with room for my flowers as well as seating. Love the track lighting which allows me to adjust and highlight certain areas. Im sure Im leaving something out, but as my friends and family say when they visit, I dont just have an apartment, I have a HOME!

I have been living at Bell Ballantyne Apt for the pass 4/12 yrs now, These apt space is to die for, Neighborhood is what any resident dream of, Very quit lovey Apartments Experience Staffers I love living there, So please visit and you will see why I am so excited to be still living there.

Excellent place to live

Gteat place, great location

Bell Ballantyne is a great community. The staff is very friendly, the grounds are very well maintained, and the maintenance staff is very attentive when you call for assistance. I would recommend this community to anyone looking to move to the Ballantyne area.

The move went smoothly. My new home was in tip top condition when I moved in. I am so happy in my new place and expect to be here at Bell Ballantyne for many years to come!

Excellent service

Overall, Bell Ballantyne is a very well kept community that gives you a very comfortable feeling when you drive through the community. It's locations is very convenient to just about everything you could want, or need. The units are very well kept and priced very comparable to other local properties I considered. I would recommend this property.

A great place to live

There is no place in Charlotte like this property! The staff is quick to respond, helpful and friendly, the apartment is beautiful and the property too! You cannot beat the prices in the area for all the amenities you get here! So glad to be in this community!

Friendly, clean, peaceful, safe and very convenient.

Bell Ballantyne has bought back the feeling of a community I was accustomed to growing up.

I've lived here for two years, always paid early, and mostly kept to myself. Once Hawfield Farms was bought out and turned into Bell Ballantyne, so much went downhill. The plants on my private patio were stolen, my door was vandalized, and my car was hit by skateboarding children. The neighbors are so loud! It doesn't make sense to put 2 and 3 bedrooms (families with children and pets) above 1 bedrooms. But some of this is because the walls are terribly thin. I can hear my neighbors yawn during the night. Aside from all this, new management is so apathetic to our concerns. They care about their numbers and that's it.

We were very lucky to get the townhouse that we did. Originally named Hawfield Farms, our property now has a new owner and a change of name to go with it - Bell Ballantyne (owned by the Bell Group). I can't review the new management as they just took over 3 days ago, but so far we have noticed a couple improvements to an already great place to live including a new renter portal with a much cleaner and simplified interface to pay your rent online. A bit about the apartment. The townhouse we have is a 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath with 3 floors. The second floor is hardwood, the other floors are carpeted. Nice thick moldings and plastered walls give the apartment a feeling of luxury that I have not found in other townhouses I have lived in. The kitchen has newer stainless steel appliances and a flat top range with two baking levels. Our living room french doors open to a view of a stand of Carolina Pines set among a common area with a nice barbecue pit/grill and tables for an afternoon picnic. While we brought our own washer and dryer - they sit unused in the garage as the townhouse already comes equipped with them. You will find several nice family restaurants and to supermarkets within walking distance. With all the good that come with our rental property - there is one negative...location. If you work in the city, there is only one main 4 lane road to get to the expressway and this is a heavily populated area so it is bumper to bumper traffic for about 5 miles between the hours of 7AM and 8:30AM. My recommendation, leave early, stop at the rental office and fill your coffee mug with their free kuerig and get to the office before your coworkers. You cant beat free coffee, looking good to the boss by being first in everyday, and beating traffic. It would get 5 starts but we have had a few maintenance issues over the past 2 years. Nothing major (the drain from the AC condenser in the attic plugged) and we had the overflow water seep down 2 floors and leak from our living room ceiling. However, they did come out at 11PM to unplug it and return the next day to repair the water damage. They also did not repaint before we moved in, so I had to get some paint from maintenance and do some touchups myself. Overall, I would recommend it as a good place for both singles and families if you don't mind the commute.
