Best tour experience I've had so far
A couple weeks ago, I toured Alister Columbia in person with Elaina as my guide. The tour was very insightful and Elaina did very well to answer any questions I had. The property seemed very nice and clean upon a first glance. After the tour,… See More >3/8/2023

Thank you
I came to visit the property on a random Thursday. When I entered the leasing office, I was greeted with a smile and a hello from a young man that I was not expecting to be the assistant manager. He introduced himself as James. He… See More >2/28/2023

If I could give 10 stars I would. The Assistant Manager James went above and beyond to make sure my move in process went smoothly. He paid attention to detail and he even had a handwritten welcome letter and cup waiting for me on my… See More >2/28/2023

Terrible Place to Rent
Management does a terrible job communicating with residents. Nearly impossible to talk to/hear back from anyone. When maintenance is needed the job is never done well or in a timely manner. I didn’t even realize this was supposed to be a smoke free area because… See More >9/21/2022

Upon our move-in, we had quite a few issues, but management was able to handle everything and finally make our apartment feel at home. It was a rough start but overall, we are finally enjoying our new apartment.

Great location, everything else needs major improvement....neighbors aren't the best. Watch out for kids playing in the parking lot and street. Neighbors are trashy. Rental office staff rude and confrontational.

Beautiful quiet neighborhood to live. The staffs are polite and respectful. The apartment buildings need to be power wash and the apartment doors also need to be re-painted because they look old and dirty.

The management and office staff very provided exceptional service which made the entire process seamless. I just recently moved and the maintenance team great as well with response to service request. Overall, the community is clean, quiet and a great place to live.

Poor quality apartment, but very professional leasing staff. The apartments need to be better maintained. The water-heater is constantly making clanking noise. The nail/pole for the door hinge cannot be pushed down.
