Between four people the rent is $4000 a month, so not really worth it for Central, South Carolina…read more I've lived here for one year and here's why I wouldn't live here again: 1. We've had ceiling leaks, flooding in our bottom floor several times, broken washing machine almost immediately after we moved in, our AC has been broken several times during the summer time, and a flooding dishwasher. 2.The lazy river is a nice to have although it could definitely be cleaned more often along with the hot tub. 3.Power and wifi outages are common (we were one of the only student housing complexes with no power or hot water for 4 days during hurricane Helene). 4. I saw a video of a ridge resident this year who turned her sink on to straight brown water. 5. In the middle of my lease this school year their portal was compromised so we had to switch to a new portal where I am charged a lot of random fees not listed in my lease agreement. Mind you, they apparently "lost" my lease agreement for a little so that was sketch. Talking to them about any of this is a nightmare. 6. When we had leaks and flooding issues in our house, we were being up-charged for the industrial fans and dehumidifiers that were brought in, causing our electric bill to sky rocket. We communicated that we should not be responsible for this cost discrepancy. After weeks of following up and communicated this to the manager, we were continuously left with no response and were never compensated for this. 7. I got towed out of my own driveway even thought I had a brand new parking pass, (costed me $180). I also had a guest get towed at the ridge so definitely read the guest parking rules as they are super unclear. 8. Also if you have a long distance bf/gf or fiance, don't count on you being able to have them stay here with you for longer than 3 days. We've been threatened with fines ($250) several times for our roommates fiance (who has to fly all the way from Alaska) staying here. The lease agreement states that we can apply for exceptions to this rule, which we tried to communicate and follow through with but it became very clear that they were unwilling to provide us with a process on how to proceed with an application to this exception. 9. I'd beware of some of the positive reviews as residents have been offered giveaway entries to leave reviews. 10. My roommate was walking her dog one night and was approached by the trash collector employee. He was very persistent on getting her number despite her saying she was in a relationship. He made her so uncomfortable to the point that she eventually gave her number to him and he called her in front of her to make sure it wasn't a fake number she gave. He then texted her the same night to which she didn't respond. The next day the trash collectors fiance called her to talk about the situation. We didn't feel comfortable enough to tell the leasing office as we didn't believe we had the relationship with them to see an outcome. 11. My roommate was sitting on the shuttle one day and the ridge bus driver pulled over and stopped the bus at Lowe's and made her and one other random student get off the bus (unprovoked). He started to film them and started yelling inappropriate things at them. He then left them near Lowe's for them to WALK home while he drove off to drop the rest of the residents off at the ridge. Very traumatizing for my roommate. Positive feedback: The only reason why I'm giving a 2 star instead of a 1 star rating is because most of the staff are really kind and helpful, I especially really like Hannah at the front desk and the maintenance guys. The shuttle system is also great and their drivers.The common areas and landscaping maintenance is done very well, everything is well kept and clean

I moved into this apartment looking for a cheaper option compared to others. When I went to tour,…read morethe man said that they were remodeling so I wasn't able to. Eventually, we moved in and it was fine; not the nicest but not bad for what I was paying. Within the first month (August), my townhouse flooded and it wasn't fixed until November. Although maintenance was helpful most of the time, the main office and managers did nothing until my father sent an email. Along with this, we've had many issues with our water and sewer bill. I called them on the phone many times to report issues and express concerns about our extremely high water bill and they would always come and check and tell me that nothing is wrong with my apartment and to stop using as much water. Due to their neglect, we have had to pay an absurd amount of money in bills and management couldn't care less about it because there was nothing in writing despite all of my calls. I highly suggest not living here and looking for other places.

The pool was often green for weeks, bathroom and gym unclean, and when we moved into the apartment it was clear by the dust (and drawer full of a past resident's things) that they had not properly cleaned if at all. I moved out in December, and continued to pay through July since they would not allow me to break my lease. They proceeded to charge me $300 for not returning my keys and parking pass, even though I did. They asked me to send "proof" that I turned them in, even though they were no longer in my possession and I had moved out 6+ months ago. They resolved our dispute as "closed permanently" and did not treat us with respect even though we paid them over $10,000 during the time I was not even living there alone.

They never said they were maintenance. After I moved out I asked management if all was good. She told me yes and took my keys. 5 months later I get a call from debt collection asking for $80. I was shocked considering I was never late on rent and knew nothing about it. When I called the apartment complex they said they need a clean up dog fee (which I was never told about) and said they mailed me a notice about it 10 days after I moved out. The address they mail to was that apartments address. They never called me or emailed. The manager told me that's not how they do things, if you owe money they immediately send it to debt collection.

I moved in in 2024 and the apartment was absolutely trashed with rotting food in the common room. I have this all on my move in checklist. They switched utility companies over the year and we paid every month of utility with a ledger to back it up and we still got charged at the end of the year for more utilities. they "forgot" to charge us a month of electric even though we paid the same amojnt for that month as every month so we had to pay double. I had to pay $400 in move out costs that are due to a little carpet stain that has been there for 2 years that they have to "replace" I'm sure they won't even fix it. The blinds which they bend and lie about them being broken, again I have picture proof, and cleaning costs where nothing has been cleaned. They say the cleaning is automatic charges but when you hand the apartment back to them in much better condition then it was given to you I would think there would be a little grace. Absolutely abysmal management and Hannah won't budge on costs even if you ask to come clean the $266 "stain" on your carpet. They will fight tooth and nail for you to not be able to save any money. I would not live here again and I feel bad for anyone else that has to. They also gove kids free food or gift cards for 5 star reviews lol. DO NOT LIVE HERE

While I love the location & all the amenities that come with this apartment, it also comes with…read moresome major downsides. The floor/ceiling on the different levels is so thin my upstairs neighbors sound like elephants are walking around up there. I can hear their tv on constantly. The trash pick up guys are absolutely awful. If I could I would opt out of this service. Not only do they park in the middle of the parking lot blocking you from driving down the road but they also throw the trash bags from the third floor over the balcony to the ground sometimes without looking to see if someone is below. I've been standing outside & almost got hit with a garbage bag more than once. The garbage bags bust & they don't pick up what's left behind. There is animal feces all over the front of the apartment buildings grass but no dog feces bag stations are on the front lawn & it's not enforced to make dog owners pick up their dogs mess. Not cool when you have children that walk through & play in the same grass. The volleyball court is covered in debris so anytime you want to use it, you have to clean it yourself. There are few shade options at the pool near the main office so if the 2 tables with umbrellas are gone then you're out of luck. There aren't enough parking spots in front of the buildings so if you don't get a parking spot by 4pm you'll be walking a good ways to get to your apartment. Pest control is something we pay monthly for & I've lived there for 2 years now, apparently they only come when I complain. My washer & dryer has had major issues since I moved in. After a month of complaining about the dryer I finally received a new one. Now my washer is leaking & flooding the apartment. It's been a week & with a house of 4 people who all do extracurricular activities that's a lot of clothes that need to be washed. However I've been unable to do so for fear my apartment will flood again. When it did flood all that was done was a shop vac was brought out to suck up the water. They didn't bother to put out any damp rid or get the water out of the carpets since it leaked into the hallway, 3 bedrooms, my living room rug. Also there is only 1 handicapped parking lot for the entire subdivision in front of Apt 103 but no where else. These apartments aren't handicapped accessible for handicapped vans or people in wheelchairs unless you're on the bottom floor on the back of apartment 103. There's also NO Parking signs on the storage units but that doesn't stop people from parking in front of them which blocks in people that used the parking lot correctly. The office staff does nothing to enforce people from parking there. Other apartments I've lived at have you pay $3 for a tag so you have an assigned parking spot & if you don't have a tag you get towed. Why can't we have something similar here? Would make the whole parking situation a lot easier. Not sure how other apartments look inside but there is mold in both my bathrooms, something brown dripping down the walls in the bathrooms, and all my vents have black mold around them. I've mentioned this to the front office several times & nothing has been done. The nicest thing about living here is the nature path behind the building that's set up for disc golf. At least it was until they started building more & tearing it up. You're also close to town & it's convenient. I like living here but I feel like for the money I pay they could do better. Especially since they're going up on rent for the 3rd time in 2 years that I've been here! Update: Maintenance came into my apartment, while I was in the shower. They didn't knock or ring the doorbell. They shut off my water while I was in the shower!! I came out to find a strange man in my pantry. I was terrified & nude!! All the office said was they would "reprimand him".

I lived in the collective for 3 years and just recently moved out so I figured I'd give a run down…read more I lived in a furnished 3 bedroom unit with a garage. I really enjoyed the neighborhood shuttle because it was my main transportation to campus but at times it could be running late or even be broken down all together so I wouldn't rely too heavily on it. Didn't have this problem often but it's worth noting. We never had any issues with our dishwasher or laundry dryer/washer which was amazing. Our fridge did leak water once but maintenance quickly handled it. Maintenance was so great. They always handled issues quickly, usually the same day. Sometimes it'd take a couple days but it was nothing too urgent that couldn't wait. One of the summers, we had a large water leak in our ceiling that caused many problems. Our wooden kitchen floors were destroyed and my roommate and I's bedrooms had some pretty bad water damage on the walls and carpet (pictures attached). I even had black mold growing in my closet because of this. When management replaced our floors, they claimed it was a "courtesy" as if it was our fault. They had a specialist come and clean the black mold but it was still very concerning. The worst part about my unit was the downstairs temperature. Because we had a garage, the downstairs would be freezing during the winter. It was practically unlivable. We couldn't spend any time in our living room. If you plan on getting a unit with a garage then be ready to bundle up come winter time. We had a furnished unit and the furniture was subpar. Our couch was pretty uncomfortable but my bed frame, desk, and dresser were alright. Although it's a gated community, the gates were almost always open, even at night. This led to some people's cars being broken into. The pool and clubhouse are really nice and well kept but there would be times when the pool would be super crowded because anybody could enter the neighborhood due to the gates being open. During the warmer months, there are lots of cockroaches. Not sure what anybody could've done about this but it was still annoying. Overall I don't think management really cared about our issues but rather just fixed them to shut us up or would come up with excuses. I wouldn't really recommend anyone living here but I'm sure there are worse places. Definitely way the pros and cons before choosing the collective.
