  If you are looking for a place in downtown Raleigh, I highly recommend The Acorn on Person Street. The management team, Haley and Sara, are top-notch, and you will not find a better location downtown. It is in the heart of downtown and minutes away from great restaurants, Moore Square, and Fayetteville St. The apartment building is only a few years old and is kept, and continues to look, brand new with the help of the amazing maintenance team, Dwayne and TJ! Over the past year, the whole team has been more like family to us, and we have met and made some great connections while living there. We were sad when personal matters took us away from Raleigh and The Acorn, but I know we can pop in or come back and will always be welcomed by them!

  My partner and I (and our cat) lived in the Acorn since 2024 and moved out last year because we wanted to live closer to my work. We loved living there - brand new apartment, great amenities, reasonable price, walkable neighborhood and friendly staff. They also had wonderful community events that let us know our neighbors. We love the Little Native coffee shop, Vic’s and other shops in the downtown area. Would recommend this great apartment to people searching for home in downtown!

  Acorn on Pleasant Street is a cute boutique-style community and the apartments themselves are beautiful. One of the corner units I toured with wrap-around windows was actually one of my favorite layouts during my apartment search. Unfortunately, the touring experience wasn’t great. Parking was frustrating, which caused me to arrive a few minutes late. When I walked in, staff members downstairs didn’t greet me, and the interaction in the leasing office felt rushed and not very welcoming. The first question I was asked was “do you still want to tour or not” no welcome in, etc… I also found it odd that my license was never requested before the tour, which every other community I visited required. I had seen several of Acorn’s videos on TikTok that made the community seem very warm and personable, so the in-person experience felt different from what I expected. I likely would have rented here because I loved the apartment itself, but I ultimately chose to lease elsewhere.

  I recently toured Acorn on Person Street apartments and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before even stepping on the property, I called with a few questions and Hailey was incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain the current specials and amenities in great detail, which made me feel informed and excited about coming in for a tour. When I arrived, the property immediately stood out compared to another complex I had toured nearby. The hallways at Acorn were clean, bright, and well presented, creating a welcoming atmosphere. At the other location, the halls felt gloomy and not nearly as inviting, so the difference was noticeable right away. One thing I really appreciated about the tour was being able to see the actual unit I was interested in first, and then the model afterward. It helped me visualize the layout while still understanding the finished look and possibilities for the space. The team was also very transparent about pricing. I felt confident in the rate I was quoted for my unit, and they clearly explained all additional fees based on my personal situation without me having to chase down the information. To top it all off, I received a same-day follow-up email from the Assistant Property Manager, Sara, confirming our conversation and making sure all of my questions were addressed. That level of professionalism and communication really made the experience stand out. Overall, the staff, cleanliness of the property, and transparency throughout the process made a great impression on me. I would absolutely recommend touring Acorn Apartments if you're looking for a place that feels welcoming and well managed.

  I recently had the pleasure of touring The Acorn apartments in Raleigh, and I was thoroughly impressed, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Sara, the assistant manager. From the moment I walked in, Sara was welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the property.
