Amenities That Matter
When you're comparing luxury apartments in Matthews, NC, it helps to separate the features you'll use from the ones that just look good in photos. We'll take you through the in-home details and community spaces at Matthews Square. Then, share a simple way to weigh them for yourself on a tour.
In-Home Features That Matter Day to Day
Kitchens Built for Real Cooking
Homes come with quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a chef-inspired stainless steel appliance package. Your kitchen looks put together whether you're cooking dinner or just heating up leftovers. Select units add a deep single-basin sink, culinary faucet, kitchen island, and pendant lighting. You can find more details on the floor plans page.
Comfort and Convenience Features
Having an in-home washer and dryer means you can do laundry on your schedule instead of a laundromat. Matthews’ summers regularly climb into the upper 80s and 90s with plenty of humidity. The 9-foot ceilings and ceiling fans in the living area and primary bedroom help air move through the apartment. Entryways with drop zones give you a place to store bags, shoes, and keys before you even reach the kitchen.
Community Amenities Worth Using
Fitness and Wellness Spaces
The 24-hour fitness center comes with TRX, cardio and strength training equipment, and its own yoga studio. Plus, there’s an outdoor gym for days when you'd rather be outside. Because Matthews' humid subtropical climate makes being outdoors uncomfortable at times. Having a climate-controlled space on-site means your routine doesn't have to pause every time the forecast turns muggy.
Pool and Outdoor Spaces
The resort-style saltwater pool has a sun shelf and cabanas. There is also a poolside pavilion with gas grills that makes it easy to have a spontaneous cookout without leaving the community. When the weather cools down, the outdoor clubroom's television and fireplace keep the space usable well past pool season. Browse the gallery to explore these spaces before you tour.
Social Spaces
The cyber café with a coffee bar is stocked with both Macs and PCs. This is a great space to be productive outside your home. When your tasks are done, the game room has shuffleboard, a pool table, and a retro arcade games are a low-key way to spend an evening.
Amenities for Pets
Bark Park and Pet Spa
Matthews Square is pet friendly. There’s an on-site bark park and pet spa that cuts out the extra errands of finding an off-leash space or driving to a groomer. See the full amenities page for current pet policy details.
How to Evaluate Amenities on a Tour
Match Features to Your Routine
Before you tour, make a short list of what you think you’ll use in a normal week. Do you cook most nights? Do you have a dog that needs daily time outside? Are you looking to regularly entertain. Bring that list with you and ask which features are included in the specific unit you're touring. Remember, details like kitchen islands, double vanities, and personal patios are only available in select units. It's worth confirming these details before you fall for a floor plan online.
