Hugging the Congaree River and stretching east, Columbia is a sprawling city with a history dating back to colonial times. Nicknamed the "Capital of Southern Hospitality," Columbia is a welcoming, warm city -- it is also a college town, home to the University of South Carolina. The university is located downtown, covering over 359 acres. The historic, top-ranking university dates back to 1801, but the oldest structure in Columbia is the Seibels House, built around 1796. It currently serves as a house museum.
While there's plenty for college students to do, Columbia provides a variety of activities -- whether you're a golfer, a shopper, or a foodie. Kid-friendly activities are everywhere, from the gorgeous parks to the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. The downtown district provides a variety of shops and restaurants along brick-paved sidewalks, and the river and nearby lakes provide opportunities for boating and fishing.

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 Cornell Arms Apartments
I have lived here at Cornell Arms since December of 2012. I’ll start with the good. I’m disabled & this location is bar none THE BEST. Very walkable everywhere. I left the country in upstate SC so I could live more independently & Cornell Arms is in a perfect spot. Utilities included. Good. New elevators! Excellent. Staff is much improved since CMM Realty acquired the property. Charles in maintenance is CA’s MOST VALUABLE EMPLOYEE!! Seriously. He’s educated, knows what he’s doing, & is prompt with responses. Somebody give him a huge raise please, he’s got to be tired of saving the day. Which brings me to the not so good. Ok. I get that the building is old & very hard to maintain for sure. However, we have had constant issues since 2021. The bug issue has been resolved finally. The other issues are, elevators have been constantly breaking down every few days for the past 2wks. & for the life of them, since fall of ‘21 they CANNOT keep their hot water & heat running consistently. The manager has been good in the past about sending emails to residents keeping us in the loop about what’s going on & status of repairs & such. Now, yesterday I came back from my parents to find no hot water. I called the emergency number that is on the teleprompter in the dwnst lobby. It WAS OUT OF SERVICE! Bad enough that there was no hot water. Downright unacceptable that the emergency maintenance number was disconnected! It was back up & running today & of course Charles came to the rescue & we have hot water at the moment but as soon as that was fixed, the elevator went out! But my biggest peeve with all this is… NO BULK EMAIL sent out to residents alerting & acknowledging the issue & apologies for the inconvenience. If the manager cannot send out an email then someone at CMM Realty needs to. So. To sum up, great place, great location, some better than average improvements, good neighbors, an EXCELLENT head of maintenance (Charles), but inconsistent maintenance issues & poor communication from the manager keep this a 3 star rating. I will update my rating and review when some of these issues are resolved.

The building and apartments are freezing in winters, it is impossible to survive, they don't have proper AC or heater, sinks everywhere get blocked often. When we put on personal heaters to save from chilling cold, then the power gets shutdown of whole apartment, it just cant take up the load of small heater. There are no chimneys or proper lights in the apartment. They don't even have generator for power backup. Last year, there was a power shutdown for 2 days and all the residents had to be evacuated and put in hotel. The property did not even reimburse for food and other expenses. There are molds on walls, they just paint on top of it when called for repair. There are other good buildings in the area, cornell arms is just charging heavy rent for its location which doesn't make sense Even after all this, they are increasing the rent day by day. They charge 75$ for the parking, but every-time some other public parks in your spot and you cant do anything.
