Channel Family Apartment Homes

We lived in Channel Family Apartments for 1 year and we couldn’t wait to leave. While their maintenance staff is top notch, the front office is not. If you call with a question they never, ever answer a call. Nor do they respond, even after leaving a message. Now we have waited almost 30 days to receive our security deposit back. As older residents we found the noise of other residents with families, pets or the single, military adults to be excessive. I had to use a white noise machine to be able to sleep. Great location but never going back.

Overall a good experience. All of the appliances, electricity, and water worked without a hitch. We had some issues with mold, as is common in South Carolina. Due to limited hours are frequent random off-days you will likely need to take a day off work to reach the front staff if you seek in-person assistance with a question. The apparent lack of security cameras was off-putting, but as a female college student I felt safe around these apartments at all times. Call, don’t email, to inquire about an apartment and you will have a relatively good experience from there on out.

Leaving our home where we had lived years more than anywhere else was very disheartening. We were a military family therefore moved every year or two. Leaving our only real home was very sad as we had moved there after retirement; but, it had to be be done. We are in our late 70s and thought we were too old to do much anymore. It was time. Our children were all on their own and our nest was very empty. My husband could no longer mow our yard even on a rider mower. My health was going and I now had to use a walker or sometimes a wheelchair. Absolutely, it was time. We had to sell the house and find an apartment close to our children We thought of the problems we might encounter. At any large apartment complex, most of the residents would be much younger with totally different interests. It isn’t that way. There is a big difference in ages and interests. We decided to move into the Bowen Apartments as they were nice on the outside (and inside we would find out later). Everyone welcomed us and we felt much better. We can sit by the pool and Lazy river and just rest. There were adult swings and places to just sit and watch people. We were sold. My husband still swims; therefore, he was excited about the pool and we were really excited when a lazy river was put in. Some of the adult swings and benches and hammocks are under beautiful trees. As we settled in, we discovered many other advantages. We liked our administrators and maintenance gentlemen. Both groups are friendly and helpful young people. Things just keep getting better. We consider them our wonderful friends. Good times could describe the Bowen family. There are parties where we order from a Food Truck or a buffet. It is free – really good times. They have games where the most popular prize is a free month’s rent. We have not won yet but my husband has been given some pretty neat prizes which were of good material and usable. Good times – we think so. We saw that our future would be beyond acceptable and fun filled with happiness. Since we moved in, a coffee shop has been added with different kinds of coffee and an abundance of sweets. Next to it construction is underway for a nice restaurant. Our future looks better because we love it here. In fact when asked about the apartments, I normally answer “If they would build a church here, I would never have to leave. Lowe’s grocery store is only about a block away so what else do we need? Mary Ferguson

We have been at the Channel for 3 years (2 & 3 bedroom). We chose this one because of the location between our church in Goose Creek and work in Mount Pleasant as it is close to I-526. The staff has been fantastic for the entire three years. Repairs are made quickly when reported. The apartments are big and very fuctional. If I were not moving out of town, I had every intention to sign another lease at the Channel at Bowen. Thanks to all the staff & management for all your help.

We have lived here for 4 years. The management is super nice. Apartments are really nice. Every month they plan something to do with all of the residents including animals.

The Channel at Bowen apartments in Hanahan, South Carolina is truly an amazing community atmosphere apartment complex. New construction near both Naval Weapons Station and Air Base Charleston. Has great amenities many geared towards pet owners including a dog park and forested walk-way leading to the waterway. Quiet and well kept. Friendly office staff and prompt professional maintenance staff. Owner lives onsite and interacts with residents regularly. Beautiful pool. Very affordable even if you are on a BAH stipend. My favorite thing about Charleston is my apartment.
