apartment hunt: bexley

bexley at concord mills
this community is one that i looked at when i first knew i was moving to charlotte a couple years ago. it's located next to the mills mall, right off i-85, about 15 minutes from my office (basically, the stoplight at concord mills blvd & odell school rd. is the halfway point of my evening commute).

it is a gated, two-entry complex which boasts a tennis court (among the "typical" amenities). in october, i looked at the large 2/2 model. it was nice but fairly similar to my current situation (except i hated the master bathroom). last weekend, i looked at the "cozy" 2/2. it was perfect..except for the living room. it was teeny, with barely enough space for my sofa. no bueno. i forgot to ask how much they were leasing for. in october, the large 2/2 was under $800. it's an older community. dog friendly (instead of a flat rate, they also do pet rent).

the daytona, which is the 1/1+den, is 864 sf with a market rate of $675-$985. the concord, "cozy 2/2", is 963 sf with a range of $715-$1025. and, the large 2/2, the bristol, is 1069 sf and $770-$1110.

the location is something of a concern. although it is right by the mills mall and close to 85, there's no grocery store in the immediate vicinity (i don't count the new walmart); i don't go to the mall that often & if i do, i go to northlake or southpark; it's not exactly close to the other fun things i like to do; and, i'm farther away from where many of my friends and acquaintances live. ho-hum.

it stays on the list, mostly because it's one of the few that allows large dogs.

...and i continue with my search.
