The Flats at Ballantyne receives mixed feedback, with residents praising responsive maintenance, friendly staff, good amenities, and convenient location, but significant concerns about pest infestations, noise from thin walls, elevator outages, and delayed repairs.

Management and leasing staff receive consistent praise for professionalism, responsiveness, and helpfulness, with maintenance teams noted for quick resolution of work orders.
