      Neighborhood

      West Ashley sits within the city of Charleston and is west of the Ashley River, hence its name, and is the birthplace of Hootie & the Blowfish’s frontman, Darius Rucker. Lined with mossy oaks, the Ashley and Stono Rivers border West Ashley, creating the breathtaking scenery for which Charleston is known. West Ashley residents enjoy close proximity to the area's only indoor mall, the Citadel Mall, and a large number of big-box stores.

      Situated seven miles due west of Downtown Charleston, residents can plan on a 15- to 30-minute drive, depending on traffic, to take in all downtown has to offer. Nearby Interstate 526, which feeds directly into Charleston’s Interstate Highway 26, gives residents a fast and easy route in and out of area. Mid- to late-1900s ranch-style homes characterize the housing in outer West Ashley, but neighborhoods built in the 2000s also sprinkle the area.

      I left California & arrived to SC about 2 years ago. Right from the start I was sure this was the apartment made for me. The community is always clean, & the team are always helpful, and kind. And I am happy that I just signed for my 3rd lease! Thank you Element Carolina Bay!

      I had a very bad experience with another rental property when I first moved to South Carolina. I had a U-Haul truck full and had no place to live. When I showed up at the office of Element Carolina Bay they greeted me with professionalism and a smile and told me they would help me get into a unit that day. Four hours later, the truck was empty and I was sitting in my new apartment. I couldn't be more happier. Thank You Very Much. John R.

      This community is the best I have ever lived in. All the staff, office and maintenance, are approachable, professional, interested in the needs of the residents, and friendly. Maintenance requests are addressed same or next day. Activities for residents include food trucks, potluck dinners, arts and crafts experiences and wellness experiences. There is a well-equipped gym, swimming pool, and barbecues. Resident input is sought and welcomed for all community activities. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming. The layout of the community is such that you feel you are living in a neighborhood, instead of living in an apartment complex. Love living here!

      No quality of life here.

      Last few months the property has sunk, for example 4 hours of nonstop noise from gardners, and a new dump built right outside our door where they leave old appliances and people running businesses out of their garages blocking the drive in and out every single day and strangers allowed to penetrate the property resulting in robberies. The maintenance manager has been caught lying to and about us multiple times and find we are not alone suffering from improper maintenance and dealing with a liar, there are people living in the parking lot in campers and commercial vehicles which where never allowed are now everywhere. It's gone from a high end resort life to a seedy and low life atmosphere and environment. We do not recommend living here. Our peaceful community and lives have been uprooted by unintelligent and untrustworthy people in jobs they should not have. There are many other better choices in this area with mature and friendly management who maintain an upright and quiet community for the tenants. We're not renewing and have already put a deposit down on a new rental close by that offers a far better quality of life.

      Went from quiet and exclusive to intrusive, rude and uncomfortable.

      We've had several issues to deal with while living here and find the maintenance lead lacks ambition to actually fix anything correctly. We always have to hire someone to come in or make repairs ourselves. Management is a revolving door and it only gets worse and worse and the new one is very intrusive, and marginally aggressive. We're seeking legal advice at this juncture. It was a great place to live but has become a horrible environment and not at all as peaceful and exclusive as it once was. Poor choice of managers.

      After owning my own homes for the past 50 years I was a little hesitant about living in an apartment.This is a lovely apartment community, beautifully landscaped, wonderful walking paths, pet friendly and plenty to do within this community. The staff are friendly and always ready to answer questions or help.So happy to be living here and plan to extend my lease.

      Good choice in West Ashley

      I can honestly say my time at Element was great. Friendly staff, great community and lots of engagement from management. There is although a few draw backs. The parking at certain buildings is out of control, meaning people park wherever they want (handicap, fire lanes, in front of garage doors) along with vehicles with no license plates that sit there for months. Lastly, dogs off the leashes, my dogs was attacked by our neighbors dog and have seen other dogs off leash! They definitely take care of the community in terms of looks, but need to improve on controlling the residents.

      Don’t rent here! The portions of your lease that protect you and your quiet enjoyment are not enforced by management

      Carolina Bag is one of the better apartments in West Ashley. But sometimes the maintenance and team can slack. It’s hard to get to a person because they leave 1 hour before the sign says they close. Also maintenance doesn’t update very well. We have also had several different trash vendors this year because they keep doing terrible jobs.

      Started out great, now I can’t wait to leave.

      When I first moved in, everything here was great and I loved it. But it’s gotten worse with every new management/maintenance team. I pay a lot to live here and I’m going on day 3 without air conditioning in the middle of South Carolina summer and no one who works here seems to care. I know of a few other neighbors who have been screwed over by the maintenance department recently too. They won’t get to a problem, or they’ll lie and say they fixed it, then are kind of rude when you say you called someone else to fix it. I honestly can’t wait to be able to move out.
