The Abigail: A One-Bedroom for Living Solo

The Abigail is the one-bedroom, at 827 square feet, is built around one open main room. Its kitchen, with a large island, opens straight onto the living and dining area, so cooking, eating, and relaxing all share one connected space. For a single resident, or a couple, that open flow keeps the apartment feeling bright and easy to live in.

The single bedroom sits off the main room, with its own full bathroom and a large closet, set apart from the kitchen and entry so it feels like a private retreat. One bedroom and one bath also make the Abigail quick to clean and simple to furnish, which keeps a place of your own easy to manage. Step out onto the patio with a morning coffee and enjoy living in a space that perfectly fits your needs.

The James and Eleanor: Two Bedrooms for Room to Spread Out

The James and the Eleanor are the two-bedroom, two-bath plans, at 1,165 and 1,187 square feet. They add a second bedroom and, just as useful, a second full bathroom, so two people each get their own room and their own bath and keep their morning routines separate. That second bedroom also works just as well as a home office, a guest room, or a nursery.

The two plans differ in how they arrange the space. The James keeps its living, dining, and kitchen open together in one wide central area, which suits anyone who wants a big shared space for cooking and hosting. At the Eleanor, the two bedrooms split to opposite ends of the apartment, with the living space between them, so roommates or a couple on different schedules get real distance and quiet. Both come with an eat-in island, granite counters, and stainless appliances, plus an in-unit washer and dryer.

Match a Floor Plan to How You Work from Home

How you work from home matters as much as anything else when you choose a plan. In the Abigail, a desk fits into a corner of the living area or the bedroom, which works for a few calls a day or a laptop job you close at five. If your work is light and quiet, one bedroom is plenty.

When you work from home full-time, the second bedroom in the James or the Eleanor changes the day. A door you can close gives work its own room, so the day has a clear start and a clear stop, and video calls get a real backdrop. If two of you work from home, the Eleanor's split layout puts a bedroom at each end, so you can both be on calls at the same time in peace. And when you want a change of scene, the clubhouse at Reserve at Glen Laurel is a short walk from your door.

Picture Your Furniture in the Apartment

Before you sign, picture your furniture in the room. Pull the dimensions from the floor plan and measure your bed, your couch, and your dining table against them, so everything you own has a place before moving day. The Abigail’s open layout gives you one flexible zone to arrange, while the James and the Eleanor give you separate rooms to furnish one at a time.

Think about the pieces that need a specific spot. A desk needs a wall and an outlet, a king bed needs clearance on both sides, and a dining table needs room to pull out the chairs. The kitchen island covers casual meals in every one of these plans, so a smaller table, or none at all, can free up the living area. Measuring first turns the tour into a simple yes or no.

Find the Right Fit at Reserve at Glen Laurel

The best apartment is the one that matches how you live. A solo life stays simple and open in the Abigail, the James opens up around a shared living space, and the Eleanor gives two people room at opposite ends of the apartment. All three come with the finishes that make a new place feel like home from day one: granite counters, hardwood floors, and 9-foot ceilings.

It is easy to picture the days once you are inside: coffee at the island in the Abigail, a home office with the door shut in the James, a quiet corner bedroom at the far end of the Eleanor.

With every amenity just steps from your front door, living here means fewer trips across Clayton, NC. But what does each one actually add, and how do they improve residents' daily life?

A Pool Space That Works For Laps And For Lounging

At Reserve at Glen Laurel, the lap pool stands out the most. The lanes give you plenty of room, so someone swimming a set and someone floating around are not in each other’s way. You can swim a real workout in the morning without driving to a rec center, then come back in the afternoon for a dip to wind down.

There is also a resort-style deck equipped with lounge chairs, ideal for outdoor reading or unwinding. The pool house features a covered terrace for relaxing out of the sun and offers a convenient place to change nearby, saving a trip back to your apartment.

Our outdoor grilling area handles dinner for a group when entertaining many people. The terrace overlooks the pool deck, so you can eat outside and still keep an eye on the water. 

Grilling stations on the deck also solve a problem specific to apartment living, because no one has to store a grill on a balcony or carry one down a flight of stairs. A summer weekend becomes something you host at home instead of something you drive somewhere for.

Where Your Workout Fits Into The Day

The fitness center covers cardio and strength in one room, so a workout takes no planning beyond walking over. A separate yoga and exercise room gives you open floor space for stretching or mat work, so no one has to wait for a free corner of the weight room. That room also handles anything that needs quiet, from a stretch after work to a class you follow on your phone.

Distance is what decides whether a workout happens. A gym across town gets skipped on a cold morning or after a long workday, while one 2 minutes from your door does not. Over a year, that is the difference between a routine and an intention.

Room To Host Without Rearranging Your Apartment

The spacious club room at Reserve at Glen Laurel gives you room to spread out beyond your own four walls. Featuring billiards, a wet bar, and card tables, the multi-use room offers endless ways to host game night. Instead of driving across town, residents and visitors have space to mingle right outside your door.

Our business center adds a quiet room for work, which matters when your kitchen table is also usually your desk. Anyone working from home can take calls, have room for paperwork, and enjoy fast internet speeds from fiber Wi-Fi.

Everyday Details Add Up

Storage units handle what does not fit inside, from bikes to holiday boxes to camping gear. However, our apartments with generously sized closets let you store more things at home rather than in a storage unit.

The playground is great for after-school activities for families, and the sundeck offers a quieter, more relaxing afternoon. If you have a pet, then a walk to the on-site dog park makes your evenings even easier.

For a little friendly competition, our billiards table is always available for a quick game. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after work and bring a friend. Having a full-size table just steps from your door makes it easy to bring a bit of fun into your daily routine.

Designed for Your Everyday Routine

Whether you're starting your morning with laps in the pool, staying on track at the fitness center, or gathering friends around the card table in the multi-use room, Reserve at Glen Laurel is built to streamline your routine. It isn't just about having great spaces—it's how effortlessly these thoughtful details fit together to make everyday living feel like an upgrade.
