We have been in Columbia Town Center for almost 3 years. The location is very good and is partly why we stay here. Haven't had the problems mentioned in some of the negative reviews. The primary noise is from the concerts and pubs outside, but that's part of the location. The buildings are getting a little old, and the floors of the apartment over us are very squeaky. But that's the only internal noise - can't hear the neighbors beside or under us. There has been an effort to upgrade the outside of the buildings, which is welcome, and the grounds are kept up pretty well. Maintenance service for the apartment is prompt and efficient. Maintenance of the corridors and stairwells definitely needs improvement and more regular attention. Seems like the office staff rarely get out of the main building, which is well taken care of, to see what needs to be done in the outer buildings.
