My husband is a new resident here and also a teacher which makes application processing very difficult for him with his schedule. I ended up having to take on a lot of making sure his paperwork and things were submitted and let me just say that penny and apple were amazing through this whole process. We got the wonderful opportunity to meet apple from the very beginning and she was delightful to work with. She showed us the apartment and wasn’t rushing us through. I got the opportunity to work with penny over the phone and she was so just upbeat and fun and that was just over the phone! She was so appreciative of me handling things for a smooth process and i really appreciated that! I finally got to meet her in person after hyping her up to my husband and she was everything i pictured and more! She’s such a fun and warm person. It’s like being in her presence is like being around a friend that you’ve know for years! My husband and i couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she is and how much he’s going to love living there. I will also like to add that although I’m not a current resident there yet i love the community. I visit my husband when i can due to my work schedule but i just love that he’s happy where he is finally. I love that he considers this a place where he would stay for awhile. I’m happy to have been a part of this process and i recommend this place 1000%.

Where do I start ! I’ve been living here since February 2020, 3 months after I moved from San Francisco and I can’t say anything bad about living here. When I did my search of places I truly wanted to be able to see the potential empty apartment I would be able to move into. When I came Tina showed me the exact unit I would be moving into as well as the desired floor I wanted. I appreciate the new stainless steel appliances, floor to ceiling big windows, screened in porch, ceiling fan in the bedroom 🥵 , and the fireplace. The staff is always looking out! Keeping our community looking beautiful, adding new touches here and there, and love that maintenance is always on point . I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for such a great maintenance team y’all are the sh*t! Ivan , Ray and the awesome lady groundskeeper (I’m so sorry i forget her name, please forgive me). Penny is a nice manager, very helpful & understanding which I appreciate so much. Pernease is the best, I just love how sweet she is. I’m thankful for you guys making my stay in Charlotte such a great one .

A Penny for Your Thoughts and a Kingdom for Your Stay! Welcome to Village Brook Apartments, where the laws of ordinary living are laughably outlawed and where the magnificent Penny, our flame-haired queen of the castle, makes sure that boredom is banished and dreariness is deported. Imagine a place where each morning you are greeted not just by the sun, but by the shiniest Penny ever minted, who ensures that everything from the pool’s pH to the petunias' perkiness is absolutely perfect. Living here is like being in an episode of your favorite sitcom: the neighbors are a cast of friendly characters, the plotlines are always engaging, and Penny, the superstar, has more rave reviews than the season finale of Game of Thrones. Our apartments? Think of them as your personal laugh track: perfectly timed, beautifully delivered, and designed to make sure that your life never needs a "rewind" button. Whether you’re sipping espresso on your serene balcony or flipping pancakes in your kitchen, the comfort levels are so sky-high, even birds can’t hope to reach them. The amenities at Village Brook are like a backstage pass to your favorite concert—exclusive and utterly thrilling. The pool is as refreshing as a stand-up comedian’s punchline on a hot day, and the fitness center has enough equipment to have you flexing more than just your smile. But let’s circle back to Penny—our property manager, who runs this community with the perfect blend of strict order and sparkling humor. Under her vigilant governance and witty decrees, you'll find your life here is as smooth as a jazz solo and as delightful as a surprise punchline. So, if you're looking for a place where each day is a punchline and happiness is part of the tenancy agreement, come to Village Brook Apartments. It's more than a home; it's a place to love living—and laughing. After all, a day without laughter is a day wasted, and here, we’re in the business of making marvelous memories!
