The Islands is amazing! The office staff is friendly and helpful, the maintenance guys are the same, and maintenance requests are promptly taken care of. Walls are a little thin, but otherwise this place is basically perfect. Anyone looking for a new home should definitelyā€¦Ā See More >

    I had the pleasure of living at the Islands Apartments for the year that I spent in Charleston. I just moved back up north about one month ago, and I already miss the relaxing pond, the ducks, turtles, geese, palm trees, and gorgeousā€¦Ā See More >

        The "pool attendant" (AKA the old man who has nothing to do other than chain smoke cigarettes at the pool and yell at tenants who do not have their pool pass) definitely does not make it relaxing to sit by the pool. The office ladiesā€¦Ā See More >

          The management of this place is reprehensible. The property manager is rude and incompetent - she will constantly remind you she has "500 units" that she manages so she's too busy to deal with anything. Furthermore, the safety of tenants is the lowest of herā€¦Ā See More >

            I have lived here six months. The responses from management are inconsistent. There is no size limit on dogs.....no one mentioned this. And management does not enforce the leash rule or picking up dog droppings. Cars race over speed bumps. If you drive through manyā€¦Ā See More >

                      I lived in one of the two bedroom 'garden style' apartments. The apartment was decent, nothing special, but it was management and the property owner, Palms Associates, that were the worst problems.

                        Though I have previously recommended two new residents in the past I will not do so going forward and will exit once my current lease expires. We were fairly content here until the new pool rules came out making the pool essentially unusable by us.ā€¦Ā See More >
