This page will give you all the information you will need to start the process of living in luxury at Charleston Townes. Be sure to read through this page thoroughly and follow all the necessary steps prior to Leasing Day to avoid risking your spot in line.
The link to schedule your Leasing Day Appointment will go live at 8:00am on Thursday, October 10th. Leasing Day Appointments will be held every 20 minutes on Friday, October 11th from 9:00-5:00 PM. There will be two time slots available for each time frame to allow us to best serve you.
When scheduling your Leasing Day appointment, please know that the appointment slots are first come, first served. ONLY ONE PERSON PER GROUP NEEDS TO RESERVE AN APPOINTMENT. A MINIMUM OF TWO (2) PEOPLE MUST ATTEND THE IN-PERSON APPOINTMENT TO RESERVE A UNIT.
The following criteria must be met prior to your appointment:
- A completed application with Guarantor listed for all potential tenants.
- Groups of 4 will get priority on unit selection.
Example: Mark, John, Bill & Steve want to live together. Mark reserves an appointment slot for the group. Prior to the appointment, the four complete all necessary steps (below). Mark & Bill come to the Downtown Matchbox Office for their appointment and reserve a unit. They schedule an in-person meeting (“Lease Signing Appointment”) for the following week with the Property Manager and the entire group to sign their Lease. Mark, John, Bill & Steve sign their Lease and live happily-ever-after in the lap of luxury!

**Submit an ONLINE application**
EACH individual interested in setting up a signing appointment and signing a lease/securing a unit MUST have already submitted an online application and must list their Guarantor information in the application. Complete the application and pay the application fee HERE.
*Note: This application is good for one year and can be transferred to another Matchbox property if you do not sign a lease at CT.

Step 3:
EACH individual will need to do the following tasks on your Online Account BEFORE coming to the Leasing Day appointment:

2) Look over our layouts (below) and know your preferred layout, town home, or location within the community. We encourage you to have 3-4 units chosen in case your preferred unit is already reserved.
