I lived at the Vinoy for over four years. I know it's not typical to live at an apartment for more than one year, but this complex was a stellar community.
I am a single female and my safety is of the utmost importance. I never feared for my personal well-being at the Vinoy even if I was coming home late or going to my car in the middle of the night because I forgot something.
The apartment itself had a washer/dryer in the unit and that was very welcome as I do not own either. It was very nice to not have to go to a laundromat. I also found the rent price to be very reasonable and quite comparable, if not better, than the other surrounding Charlotte communities. Additionally, I have two kitties and the Vinoy does allow pets(see their website for specifics). The three of us were very happy here during our four year stint.
Finally, the staff at the Vinoy are BEYOND EXCELLENT and always have some fun event/party for the residents.I really hated to leave my cute apartment, but I moved to the NC coast. I would very much recommend the Vinoy at Innovation Park to young professionals, families, single folks, basically anyone looking for safe affordable apartments.
