This is far and away the best apartment I have ever had the privilege of living in!
The location is wonderful - in a wooded residential neighborhood, up on the bluffs. I woke up every day to a view of trees and birds and the Mississippi river flats, rather than a shopping district like with most other apartments I've seen, and was able to stroll and jog around well-lit streets with slow-moving traffic and well-maintained homes. The quiet setting was a blessing.
The building is pretty solidly constructed, it took quite a bit of effort on the neighbors' part for me to ever hear them through the walls! Parking was always available, the lot was lit well and I never felt unsafe. The pool was clean and popular; I appreciated the swim during the summer months!
I think the staff really made the deal for me though. The office staff and maintenance crew were all unfailingly courteous and friendly and prompt with any issues, even when I got locked out of my apartment on Christmas and had to call them to get me back in. I will genuinely miss everyone there!
If I hadn't been obligated to move closer to my job, I would never have left these apartments. If you need a home in Columbia, I absolutely recommend this place!
