Please be aware of the parking scam going on near the MACC entrance's owners of Orthman conveying…read moresystems control 7 parking spots that are marked reserved.Even if you are an employee of another business in the center you are not allowed to park there.No where is it marked who the spots are reserved for so the assumption is that if you are an employee of any business in the center or a patron of any business in the center you would be allowed to park there.Orthman calls the police on anyone parking in those spots and you are then towed away by a towing company.Final result....$120 tow bill and a $30 city parking ticket and I guess a very happy Terry Stiles.Great way to do business.......Take the closest parking spots and don't allow customers to park there.Shame on Orthman for making things very difficult for the young people trying to get started in lives and careers by saddling them with an unnecessary expense.And shame on the owners and management of Parkade for such activity being allowed to go on & on & on.My daughter was just one of the 40 some tows this week from these 7 spots and she has a job at Parkade.You would think that someone involved would explain the rules or possibly fire a warning shot before going to such drastic links.BTW--My daughter lives in Kansas City & drives to Columbia to work one day a week for a company that has leased an office at Parkade.So when she left work for the day and discovered her car had been towed and the towing company was closed she and a work companion were stranded in Columbia overnight.Over 40 tows in one week....6 grand of revenue generated. Seems like a nice gig if you can get it.Will this posting change anything? Nope. Will it make me feel better? Yep. I told my daughter that some things are just life lessons but if I can get the endorsement of the local paper maybe I can save alot of money for those in the future.

Twila is the real gem here. I can assure you that you will be well taken care of with her. The…read moreplace on Clover Way is HUGE!!!! So worth it. This is a VERY safe neighborhood, I only locked my doors at night while I was there. You can't beat the price either! The location is perfect. Call Twila today!!!

I've lived in the Green Meadows Apartments for about a year…read more -The apartments are clean, quiet, and have much better construction than the cheap materials they use @ many college housing developments around Columbia. (For example, better quality windows, flooring, cabinets, faucets). -I rarely see my neighbors but when I do they are friendly. Many are students or young professionals. You can hear noise in the hallways/stairwell but not in the apartment itself. -There is TONS of storage space. I have a lot of cookware and bakeware and there is plenty of space in the cabinets. The stoves are easy to clean and use gas, which are much better if you are a serious cook. -My walk in closet is huge. There is plenty of room and shelving for storage, not just for clothes. I can even some small furniture/bookshelves/desks in the closet. -Great location. Tons of restaurants nearby and bars (Murry's, Taphouse) and Hyvee is right across the street. Takes me about 5 minutes to drive to downtown. -There is a security entrance where you must enter a code to get in the building. The neighborhood itself is very safe.. Green Meadows road is a great family friendly area. I regularly take walks at night on the main road. Overall a very ideal and safe living situation for a younger female living alone. -The apartment manager (Twila) is extremely professional, friendly, and resolves issues very quickly. She has been a pleasure to work with. She checks her email constantly and notifies tenants of inspections or any news by email. Utilities and internet/cable are included in your rent so paying your bill is extremely simple. Much easier to budget. Really the only drawback I have found living here is the lack of an in-unit washer/dryer. I take clothes to the neighboring Lilypad Laundry (a very nice laundromat) but obviously it would be more convenient to have them in the apartment.. other than that this place has been perfect for me. I would live here longer but I am moving out of state!

Caution: the title of "management company" here is a charitable one. CPM is more akin to a ragtag…read moreband of rude, unreasonable slumlords. 24 hours notice is unheard of here. Be prepared for maintenance to show up whenever they please (without calling or asking), and for leasing agents to "be in the neighborhood" with potential renters without telling you or asking if it's a bad time. Your neighbors are potential junkies and squatters, and be ready to call the cops at 3AM for parties that will make your kitchen counters shake. I asked CPM about the "quiet enjoyment" part of the lease--still waiting for a call back. Administration is disorganized and unprofessional. My rent check once got credited to a different unit. Communication is spotty at best, and during your check-out process, don't be surprised if the agent keeps you waiting while he's busy on the phone. As a last straw, my deposit check got lost in the mail, and they charged ME for stop payment on something that was their fault. A word to the wise: know your rights as a renter in the state of MO. Hold CPM to them. Take extensive pictures of the property when you move in and file/photocopy every document they give you. Fill out your condition addendum thoroughly, and don't let these swindlers get away with taking your hard earned money out from under you.

Awesome apartments located in central Columbia close to downtown and other shopping. The apartment…read morewas very clean and nicely maintained when I first moved in, and was really happy to have the option of carpet or hardwood floors! All of the appliances were very well kept and cleaned, all the utilities are included with rent - don't have to keep track of a bunch of different bills. Awesome space in the back yard for pets, and lawn is cut regularly and well maintained. My neighbors have all been very quiet and very friendly, seems to be mostly young business professionals/graduates/young families. The biggest reason to rent here- other than location/quality - is the property management. The maintenance staff are on call 24-7 if there is ever an emergency, and the property managers are extremely helpful and understanding in every situation I've been in. Being a family owned business versus a corporate run business is a huge difference in quality of living! Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Hindshaw Properties. Mr. Hindshaw was late to all three…read moreshowings without a single heads-up and hadn't even told the landlords he'd be there. The level of disorganization was unbelievable. One of the houses had mold, and during the tour a current tenant actually warned us not to rent from him -- they said they're in the middle of a lawsuit against him. That tells you everything you need to know. The whole experience screamed neglect, dishonesty, and zero professionalism. I wouldn't recommend Hindshaw Properties to anyone.

If I could give zero stars, I would! The landlord claimed the unit was professionally cleaned…read morebefore move-in -- absolutely not true. The air filter was covered in over an inch of dust and smelled strongly of curry. The bathtub drained extremely slowly, but I was told, "if it doesn't overflow, it's fine." When one stove burner stopped working, the landlord refused to repair it, saying the other three were enough. Then, upon move-out, despite leaving the place in far better condition than when I arrived, I only received $30 of my deposit back. Completely unprofessional and unfair -- do not rent from this landlord!
