City - Columbia

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.

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.

Like what im seeing thus far, great space for the price quiet ducked off area. Getting in the apartment and getting leased was kind of a headache at first but everything is smooth sailing.

The only thing I didn't like was that there is no month and a half free In terms of tranquility and stability it is a good place I would add gym areas to spend the most pleasant time but everything is very good thank you very much

Beautiful home. Rarely heard neighbors, but expensive. Not enough parking, parking that exists is way too close and small spots so people hit each others cars getting in and out. Rent went up $160 for us, after dropping $400 for new tenants. Be ready to pay a lot to live here after your first year is up. Have dogs? Not really anywhere to walk them and the dog park rarely stays clean, so playing there isn’t really an option.

Property Manager at Roost, The, Responded To This Review

Thank you for your feedback. We believe this review may have been posted in error, as it does not reflect the features or policies of The Roost Apartments. To clarify: We do not have a dog park on our property. Our rental rates have remained stable, and we have not issued any recent $160 increases. We offer ample parking with generously sized spaces, and residents typically have no issues with availability or maneuvering. If you intended to review a different community, we’d kindly recommend submitting it to the correct location so your experience can be properly addressed. If you are a resident of The Roost and have any concerns or suggestions, we would love the opportunity to speak with you directly and ensure you're fully satisfied.

Amanda's amazing. Period. So happy we got her. The new management proves to not only care about us, but to have events. Although I'm never home to participate, it's nice that they have it in case I get home early one day. Only problem about this area in general are the trains and speed racers every now and then. Even then, it all becomes white noise.

There is a need for better parking and more lighting. With the price of rent and all of the extra fees it's not worth the total price. The dig park is a great addition but somehow a park to take your kids and family was not included.

We enjoy having you here. We have been actively working on making improvements for our residents and are happy to see that they're being noticed. We appreciate you taking the time to give us positive feedback and we look forward to many more good experiences.

Here’s a positive apartment review: “I’ve had an amazing experience living in this apartment! The space is modern, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel comfortable and inviting. The management team is friendly, responsive, and always goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home. The amenities, including the fitness center and pool, are top-notch and kept in excellent condition. It’s also a pet-friendly community, which has made it even more enjoyable for me and my furry companions. The location is convenient, with easy access to shopping, dining, and public transportation. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a beautiful, safe, and welcoming place to call home!

Management has been a great help especially torian who has made my move easier to understand, the roost is a lot nicer now the facilities have been updated, and its constant updates to let all residents know what is going on in the community, maintenance is always willing help too which is very helpful when things are not going well in the apartment.

been here three years. Lots of bug problems, slow responses, network outage issues (the latest one just before finals.), and shuttle issues. The first year it was total failure in management, the second with safety given all the shootings that happened, and now the third just being completely slow response. this is very much you get what you pay for situation. two stars because the new bus driver actually knows how to run the routes on time. it was so prevalently bad my sophomore and junior years that I had to start drafting excuses to my professors about how bad the bus drivers were at, ditching me in a certain spot, or else I might have failed courses. I probably would not have chosen to live here if I were to do it again, but the hassle of moving in and out multiple apartments Wasn’t worth it.

Staff and management team are friendly and nice. Very professional. And the property is well secured by armed security and have high strictness meaning not allowing anybody to enter as long as a guest of some sort of each resident and not allowing any big gatherings like heavy partying and drinking. But a very peaceful quiet apartment community as it should be for students and any kind of disabilities( disabled residents)that are limited and sensitive to loudness and any interruptions like nonesence behavior that is not allowed an the apartment community for student housing. Once again thank y'all for a safe and secure apartment community experience. Sincere resident Frank Stewart. Unit # 3306B.

The houses are super good. Spacious but the maintenance is never up to date. For example when I moved in to my house, out if two windows blind in my room , one was broken and the other one wasn’t there at all it was just lying on floor down there and it’s been almost 2 months now but the maintenance hasn’t showed up to fix it yet. The washer was broken when I moved in and also the dining table was missing but they fixed the washer and put in the dining table now but after a month of me putting the maintenance request in for. Other than that there were two shootings at the Rowan, fortunately me and my friends never came across it but safety wise it’s very sad but manageable.

my resident experience so far is okay. the staff at the leasing office are super nice and friendly. the only thing is that there are so many maintenance issues that need to be done, which i know maintenance can only do so much at a time, but it’s kind of aggravating when you need something done and they take forever to come out.

Horrible - DO NOT RENT

I wish this place had a zero-rating available. "New management" does not care about getting anything fixed. They are no better than the last 4 "new management" teams. You will be charged for utilities, even if they tell you they are included. READ your entire lease. The fees on your bill are crazy and they can get away with charging you with anything they want. Nothing works properly but don't waste your time with putting in a work order. it won't get fixed. It's been the worse, unsafe 2 years of my daughter's life.

Multiple shootings in the span of one school year, a dead body found, and constant crime. There had to be a curfew installed for residents…lost privileges to have guests. I would not live here. Not safe. But other than that we had no issues with our apartment. Spacious rooms. Management has been working on ways to make it a safer complex and reduce crime.

Apartments are dirty, management is dishonest and incompetent, and there’s an incredibly inconveniencing security policy where we’re are treated like children. This is a miserable place to live if you ever want peace of mind and to be happy. Can’t wait till my lease is up.
