The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Columns at Wakefield
In the 13 month lease that I stayed here, my dishwasher broke 3 times, and my dryer twice. Both times it took over a month sometimes 2 for them to do anything about it, leaving me wasting money at laundry mats and washing dishes by hand for much of my stay. One month before my lease ended, they sent me an email that if I were to renew the lease my rent would go up by $200, while every other apartment in the area has lowered their rent. Not being able to afford the new rent, I secured a new apartment in a better area with more space and newer appliances. Then I noticed that my move out date was posted as a month after my lease ends and called to address the error. They Then said that I will be expected to pay the month-month rent ($600 more than my usual rent) for the month that I will not live here because I did not give them a 60 day notice of ending my lease, which i only decided to do because of the rent increase specified 30 days before the lease was up. From the day I moved in to the day I moved out I found cockroaches actively crawling in and out of the poorly sealed doors and windows despite the "weekly" pest control that i never saw once. Towards the end of my time here I decided to open up the air filter after noticing a lot of dust build up (they never came to replace filters) and found mold. My wife has had bad allergies ever since she moved in and that would probably explain it. Don't rent here please.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our team always strives to provide timely service and open communication, and we regret that this wasn’t your experience. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few details. Our team would have been happy to discuss the renewal rate increase and explore available options prior to your move-out decision. Weekly pest control services are available upon request. As outlined in your lease agreement, a 60-day notice is required prior to move-out. This policy was reviewed and confirmed at the time your notice was submitted. If you would like to discuss anything further, please feel free to contact our office directly at 919-488-0800.
Do NOT move here This place is completely infested. My apartment is spotless, but every time a neighbor moves out, I get swarmed with roaches. On top of that, there were mice in our unit! Management doesn’t care — their only “solution” is to send Terminix once a week, and tenants have to pay for it even if it’s an emergency. You can’t get ahold of anyone in the office, and nothing ever gets fixed. We’ve even had to call in a building inspector because the infestations are so bad. Save yourself the stress and steer FAR away from this place.
Property Manager at Columns at Wakefield, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation has been for you.

Property Manager at Columns at Wakefield, Responded To This Review
Your recommendation matters so much. Thank you for taking the time to let the world know about your experience. Have a great day!
I can not take the amount of insects and spiders on the stairwells, landings, and balconies. I was unable to use my balcony in the year I lived here, and it was a constant source of stress just using the stairs and my entryway. Other residents have shared their fear and distaste of the same situation with me. Next, as mentioned, the staffing level of the maintenance crew is inadequate. They are excellent at what they do, but they need more technicians dedicated to this aging property. Lastly, I cannot believe management pushes so hard to have apartments rented out as Air BnBs. It's a huge safety issue allowing transient tenancy. I am extremely uncomfortable with this decision. For all of these reasons, I'm moving out in July. I did not enjoy my time here. I heartily recommend that people NOT choose to live here.

Management is aware that multiple AC units in the community are in disrepair due to neglect. It has cost me hundreds of dollars in unnecessary electricity charges due to that negligence. They do not reply to my emails promptly and have not attempted to resolve the problem.

I moved here only 2-1/2 months ago and I love it already! I rented my apartment sight unseen as I lived in another city. I am very satisfied with the apartment and the location. Most importantly, the girls in the leasing office are wonderful! They make me feel at home when I come in to get coffee or other goodies which they always have for the residents. Also, the maintenance guys are great! Overall, so far, I am very happy I moved to Columns at Wakefield.

Other than the aging of the appliances of this community, I find it absolutely wonderful for single as well as families to occupy. It’s like living in your own space, dogs are very much acceptable and the convenience of walking and cleaning up behind them is commendable. It’s an overall community atmosphere that can be enjoyed by all, young, seniors, and the amenities are just as great, nice pond with its occupants,!water spray display, play area for children, etc. ozone other thing I found to be great use are the convenience of garage if garages for those who desire them.

This apartment complex is full of trash, and the smell of trash. People don't follow the guidelines for valet trash service and leave garbage out for days when there is no pickup. The administration only comes around if residents complain. I felt like the resident tattle tale, but the smell and filth were too much to ignore. I have pictures of the many times I had to report neighbors for trash violations. Also, if you want something like a window fixed, you will be disappointed. The windows are completely old and outdated. Moisture condenses to the point of puddles on the window sill and they will tell you this is normal, which it is not. Cold air flows through them in winter and I paid high energy bills. They ultimately charged me $28.17 for a double window blind, saying that I caused the damage. It was normal wear and tear, and it was a cheap blind, just look at the price. It was the principal, and no matter what I said, they insisted on getting their money. I said okay, but that I was going to tell everyone what a terrible time I had living in this place, and I was not the only one. The neighbors regularly gathered to talk about how the trash smelled and how nothing was being done about it.

Hi Anonymous, we work hard to provide a fantastic experience to everyone. It's discouraging to see that you had a negative experience. Our team takes great pride in the care of our community, with both our office and service team working together to ensure that it is free of trash and debris. I'm sorry to hear that this isn't the experience that you had with us. With regards to the blind charge, this is something only charged by us when the blind is physically broken or damaged which is beyond normal wear and tear. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you if there is something that needs to be reviewed again. Please feel free to get in touch at 919-488-0800 or columnswakefield@greystar.com. Have a wonderful day! -Rebecca Lairmore | Community Manager

It is a really nice community and has nice spaces like the lake, is very beautiful. Could improve the approach with the residents through email or phone calls concerns. Sometimes I feel they are just ignoring me and have to go to the lease office to get a response.

The Columns is a very quiet and picturesque community. I've only had to call for a maintenance issue once for this apartment and the response was very quick and the work was completed in a short time. The maintenance crew are friendly and professional.In addition, the management here has always been cordial and responsive to concerns. Thanks to all for making this a nice place to be!

During the time I lived there, at no time were 100% of the ammenities available and actually there was a time when 0% ammenities were available. There were numerous noise complaints that were not handled appropriately.

Hi there, we regret to hear that you are displeased with your recent experience with us. We did go through a period of time with closed amenities as we were completing a complete remodel on the club house and adding amenities that did not exist previously. I understand that the down time was frustrating, but we felt that the community improvements for our residents would be well worth it in the end. If there is anything else you have concerns about, I would be happy to setup a time to discuss. Please feel free to reach out to me at 919-488-0800. We are thankful for your residency and wish you the best. -Rebecca Lairmore; Community Manager
I have been a resident at the Columns for over six years and look to remain here for many more years to come as I pursue my medical degree. The community and staff have been great and are extremely fast when it comes to resolving issues regarding residents. There are not many other places in Raleigh that I would consider living in over the Columns. Kevin B, resident since January 2016.

I moved in February to this community with the promise that the fitness center and gate would be fixed by end of March. It is now August and only the fitness center recently came online. The amenities of this apartment are very poor in communication and there is no concessions by Greystar due to their lack in ability to service their tenants. I am deeply disappointed in Greystar's management and ability to service its property. This apartment complex is a pretty picture to hide the dumpster fire that it is.
