Wow $3000 we live in Kansas with all amenities we pay rent for $1025. Two bedrooms 2 bath and a huge living space of 1200 sq footage. I always complain but I am good with what we have lol. Can’t wait to see your new space.
these are all beautiful units. crazy how much rent is for new and relatively new complexes these days. but it's also so hard buying a house these days too! We'd love to get a more updated house and more acreage but it's just ridiculous and things I can't justify spending that much on with interest rates sadly. Can't wait to see the place you picked!
Can’t stop laughing at the people that are telling you to buy. Some people don’t want to deal with all that My fiancé and I got our 3bd2ba 1500sqft in uptown/optimist park for 2200. There are so many great options in the city now
We only had 2 days so had to squeeze in the main areas we were interested in. I do like Plaza though, and wish we had time to see some in Dilworth too! Thank you!!
@@KristaCannady My daughter lives in MAA LoSo in a one bedroom. They gave her the handicapped apartment and she likes it there very much. The train is right there too.
I would recommend staying away from MAA. I have never heard any good things about them. I live in South End and love how walkable it is though! I live in one of the oldest buildings (older than Camden Southline) and they keep it pretty well maintained and are going through and updating units currently. Funny that Hawkins Press is touting that they “used to be a printing press” because they definitely started from a dirt lot.
Oooo yes I wonder if it's the one I wanted to tour, but they didn't have any updated 2 beds at the time! They said they were doing lots of renovations. That is funny about hawkins press 😂 They definitely gave the impression it was a restored building lol
This!!! I was going to say this. All the MAAs have the same bad reviews. I don’t think Camden is great either, I’ve lived in the Ballantyne Camden then went to the one on Morehead and was like never again 😂
Great video! I really liked South & Hollis, and have toured it myself. They have 1 bedroom with den, which is ideal for me as a single renter who works on a hybrid schedule, I loved the layout and size, but it didn't have a balcony and also, as you mentioned, the construction IS way too much to deal with. I did, however, choose another property in LoSo, but I really did like South and Hollis. The other places you toured were very nice as well. And as far as Camden goes, smart move passing them up! I lived at a Camden property when I moved to Charlotte 5 years go and only stayed for a year as it was so old and unkempt. I tried to give Camden the benefit of the doubt and look at several other communities they own, but they were all very outdated and in need of some serious TLC lol. Anyways, love these videos about your life in Charlotte, can't wait to see more! Also, congrats on your Master's Degree!
Totally agree about south & hollis, they had great floor plan options beyond just the basic floor plan. Good to know about Camden, that was definitely the vibe we got!! Thank you :)
This was great! Love how you included prices and additional fees for extras! So comprehensive! One bit of advice- use the term primary instead of master because it’s offensive to some people in this “woke” era and just don’t want you getting cancelled because your content is great!! Xo
My GF and I are also looking for apartments in Charlotte. Your budget is double ours 😂 Wondering why you guys don’t rent a house instead with more space?
We honestly love apartment amenities (like the pool!) and it is easier to find a nice apartment in the area we want to be in than a house. We definitely considered a house but an apartment is just a better fit for us right now :)
3k is price gouging. all those area you went were basically gentrified for yall moving to clt. 3k/month can get you a big old house out in the suburb w a nice yard or in highrise in downtown
I paid $2500/ month to rent a beautiful 3 bed 3 bath home at the beach in San Diego. I feel like ppl are price gouging at this point, no offense but $3000/month is insane . I hope you get the apartment you are looking for
Every state and town is different. I got lucky getting a one bedroom at $1200 but most of the apartments around here are going for 2k plus for a one or two bedroom with nothing included. I’m in MA.
That's true but also the culture of the city has changed drastically in the last 10 years. We've lost all of our older local business and they've been replaced by high rises or new buildings. Panthers games are no longer what they used to be with all the old tailgating spots being replaced with high rises and Teppers ownership. Rent/real estate prices climbed hard because it's a banking city and the finance folks can afford this cost of living but it's pushed out alot of folks. As much as I love the city I grew up in, it's not what a lot of folks make it out to be and I'm just trying to provide a lense from a native that has lived in the city for the last 30 years.
@Jdizzledinh I didn't mean to come off insensitive. I am not a native and your reason is the exact reason why I left Dallas. So I do understand your point.
😂 it’s bad everywhere r u kidding? Look at cost of living while salaries don’t increase. 😂 thanks Biden But seriously if you don’t like it here, LEAVE. Stop complaining. You obviously don’t know mom and pops places if you are saying they are all closed.
Know whats crazier than the prices? The people willing to pay it. 3k a month to not own is ridiculous. I've been in the area 30yrs, at this point, purchase. You're just building equity for someone else. Drive to the bar, you dont need it in your yard.
So excited for your new journey! I’ve lived in charlotte since i was 4 and i love it ❤️
Love it, thank you!
I just moved to Charlotte in the beginning of summer! I'm sure you will love it!
Aw yay!!

That sounds amazing!! Charlotte could never
@@KristaCannadyI live near South Park and pay 1100 for a home with a yard.. I cringe hearing that people pay more than 2k+ for an APARTMENT
@@maryperry6573 Sounds amazing! We love apartments and the amenities
@@KristaCannadyI definitely do wish I had amenities… or just a pool 😅
We're not in Kansas anymore 😂
I live in St. Pete and have also been looking into moving to Charlotte in 3 months! Good luck with your move!
Love that! Thank you 💕
Happy ur back to charlotte thats why i started following you! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
The new hair colour looks gorgeous! 💖
Thank you!!💕

Totally agree! The cost of living just keeps creeping up it feels like.
Just moved to Charlotte from Florida as well! Love this video!
Aw yay love that!! 💕

Thank you! Lolol we have no desire to own right now
Where? I’m looking for an apartment too
@@dianacol5799I have videos on my page. About how I got to that point but Alta Purl.
Krista, rent from us next time!! Xo
Was hoping to see some places in Elizabeth and Plaza Midwood, but great video!
We only had 2 days so had to squeeze in the main areas we were interested in. I do like Plaza though, and wish we had time to see some in Dilworth too! Thank you!!
Loving the moving/apartment hunting content! You’re selling me on Charlotte 😂 also, the natural brunette looks so good on you! ❣️
Thank you so much ❤️
I live in LoSo and love it!! Excited to see what you pick 🩵
Also, I used to live in MAA LoSo….do not recommend lol
Omg good to know!! Thank you ❤️❤️

Welcome back to Charlotte 💓
❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I'm moving to charlotte for work and will be apartment hunting soon! Which building will you end up choosing ?
This was great! Love how you included prices and additional fees for extras! So comprehensive! One bit of advice- use the term primary instead of master because it’s offensive to some people in this “woke” era and just don’t want you getting cancelled because your content is great!! Xo
Thanks for letting me know I had no idea!! I'll definitely make that change ❤️
@@KristaCannady I know it’s ridiculous but just wanted to make you aware!
lmao wut? actual AI bot. "wokeism" omegalul. you do you kris, your vid was MASTERful 😉🥴
Shut UP goofy: she can say Master all she wants!!! What are you implying here besides the obvious??? You clown.
@@KristaCannadydo NOT stop saying Master because some goofy racist was trying to be slick out the mouth on TH-cam. You’re just fine.
Good morning Krista how are you happy Saturday morning and im proud of you congratulations on your moving vlogs to Charlotte and you are amazing
Thank you so much!!
@@KristaCannady your welcome sending love to you ❤️
I live in rock Hill south of charlotte. You will love the area. Welcome
Thank you so much!
You are welcome. 🙏

We don't want to live in the suburbs or in uptown. Thanks for watching!!
I paid $2500/ month to rent a beautiful 3 bed 3 bath home at the beach in San Diego. I feel like ppl are price gouging at this point, no offense but $3000/month is insane . I hope you get the apartment you are looking for
Yes the prices are crazy!! That's a great price for San Diego that you got
Every state and town is different. I got lucky getting a one bedroom at $1200 but most of the apartments around here are going for 2k plus for a one or two bedroom with nothing included. I’m in MA.
The crime is getting crazy here in Charlotte, definitely don't recommend moving here.
That's everywhere nowadays........every major city crime has increased. Just live life the best you can 🤷♀️
That's true but also the culture of the city has changed drastically in the last 10 years. We've lost all of our older local business and they've been replaced by high rises or new buildings.
Panthers games are no longer what they used to be with all the old tailgating spots being replaced with high rises and Teppers ownership.

😂 it’s bad everywhere r u kidding? Look at cost of living while salaries don’t increase. 😂 thanks Biden
But seriously if you don’t like it here, LEAVE. Stop complaining. You obviously don’t know mom and pops places if you are saying they are all closed.
3k for a one bedroom is nasty work. Sheesh Tampa
Ikr
Know whats crazier than the prices? The people willing to pay it.
3k a month to not own is ridiculous. I've been in the area 30yrs, at this point, purchase. You're just building equity for someone else.
Drive to the bar, you dont need it in your yard.
We have no desire to be home owners right now. Thanks for watching!
Dave Ramsey has always said there’s nothing wrong with driving yourself home from the old watering hole if it helps build equity
Not everyone wants to be tied to 30 years worth of debt especially with today’s home prices and interest rates.
Omg you pay $3000 for 1x1 😮 I’ll be moving too!
Yes!! Crazy!!
