Definitive Guide to Analyst Housing in Charlotte

I've gotten a number of PMs about analyst housing in uptown Charlotte, so I thought I'd consolidate my responses and post them publicly for everyone's reference. Hopefully this helps all you incoming BofA/WF analysts looking for places to live.

I'm assuming if you want to live uptown, you also want to be walking distance to bars as well as work - the center city is going to be best for you. I would recommend looking for a condo rather than an apartment, since the apartment buildings are a bit of a longer walk to both bars and the banks.

The two nicest buildings in town are the Trademark (333 W Trade St) and the Avenue (230 S College St). Both are your typical "high rise" stylistic condos - metal and glass, wood floors, stainless appliances. The Avenue has slightly nicer amenities. Both buildings will probably run you in the $1400 - $1600 range for a singe, or about $2100-$2400 for a double, depending on how high up and what floor plan. Both are within walking distance to BofA HQ and Wachovia One, as well as the Epicenter and all the uptown bars.

I would also strongly recommend the 5th and Poplar complex as well (300 W 5th St). It's only 8 stories (but a bigger footprint), it has a really nice courtyard in the center of the building, and you can usually get more square footage for the money. They even have a couple 2 story condos on the 7/8th floors which are really awesome if you can snag one. You'll still also get the wood floors and stainless appliances in many units, but not all.

Those are really the "big 3" in terms of nice condos downtown, but there are a few smaller buildings with amazing locations. Literally the best address in town (IMO) is the Iveys, which is right at the corner of Tryon and 5th (127 N Tryon), and the only building with units that overlook the Trade and Tryon center city. Also literally across the street from BofA HQ. The units are HUGE, with really high ceilings. The only downer is no amenities/pool, but I think it's worth it because the places are so great. A bunch of Panthers and Bobcats players live here. Units here are pretty hard to find though and can be expensive, since there just aren't that many in the building.

Another one to consider - there's a relatively new building called the Catalyst (built by the same developer as the Avenue I believe). It was just getting completed when I moved away from Charlotte, but a realtor friend invited me to the grand opening and I took a tour through the demo unit. It looked really nice, similar to the Avenue. I think most of the apartments are equipped with one of those internet-based systems that lets you control the lights and AC online too. The location is a slightly longer walk to bars and BofA than some other buildings (definitely doable though, more like 5-10 minutes, rather than just across the street), but would be convenient for WF analysts. All in all a nice building, but I've never been anything but the demo unit.

You can also checkout 230 Tryon which is the most convenient of all for WF analysts and has all the amenities, but is usually astronomically priced.

The best way to find a condo is to look on Craigslist - since they're all owned by people, there is no leasing office for any of these properties you can walk in to. Just keep checking the Charlotte Craigslist daily, they will pop up and they go fast. The other strategy that works really well is to call a realtor. They have their finger on the pulse of all the rental properties and will definitely help you out (free to you). Just look to see which realtors typically post on Craigslist, then send them an email asking for more general help finding a place.

I would highly recommend that you do get in contact with a realtor, then make a trip to Charlotte to see all these places in person. Even if there is not a unit available when you go, the realtor can show you the model unit and all the amenities so you can get a feel for the building.

All of the above condo buildings are great for analysts - very nice inside, an easy walk to work, and very convenient to bars.

If you really want to look at apartments, a few to look at that are a bit longer walk (but still doable) are Camden Grandview, Camden Cotton Mills, Post Gateway, and Post Uptown.

I think that about covers the uptown living landscape. Let me know if you have specific questions about buildings - I've lived in or had friends that lived in all of them.

Actually often you can get a condo for the same price as an apartment - make sure you look into it before you make the decision to write off the condo buildings. If you're set on an apartment, Camden Grandview is probably the nicest, but the location really isn't walkable to bars or BofA (I guess you could walk to Wachovia One if you had to). Camden Cotton Mills has the best location, but I'm not a fan of the inside (concrete floors, exposed ducting, etc).

Funny coincidence how both of the banks there (UBS and RBS) are doing the worst out of everyone. Stamford is definitely haunted. Therefore you should check out Fox's new show "Most Haunted Places" and look for some cheap housing.

Live in Midtown or Montrose. If you work downtown and want to live downtown there's always the Post Rice

I can comment on Houston, I interned there before moving to NY...

Don't live in Montrose (too many queers), live in downtown or midtown. It is really a matter of whether you want to walk or drive to work. Midtown is 5 minutes from downtown (2miles or so), and it is where most of the trendy bars are located (some are located by the galleria or the heights area).

In downtown, you can live at the Post lofts, or there are multiple places on main st which are fairly nice and affordable. Only problem is that downtown houston can be sketchy at 2am. My advice is to live in midtown at the Post Midtown, or any of the mid-rises there. There are quite a few midrises in midtown that have late-dining options on the first floor...

Looking at 2 bdrm apts vs. condos it seems like apts are going for roughly $1,400-1,800, whereas (as you noted) condos range $2,100-2,400. That's the $300-400/month difference I'm looking to save.

I don't have any WF specifics, let's keep this to Charlotte in general. If I were you, I'd come probably a week before training starts so that you can move in, unpack, get a feel for the city, etc. before you're slammed at work for two years.

You probably do need a car. You'll be walking to work and to most bars, but honestly Charlotte is a driving city. The public transit is basically non-existant (unless you want to ride the bus...didn't think so). If you'd be purchasing a car out of pocket, you might find it more economical to just pay for taxis if you ever want to go to the mall or leave uptown. But in general, yes, I'd say you should have a car.

Yes, I knew a number of associates (and plenty of other 20 and 30 something non-IB types) that lived in all of the above.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
