Apartment Reviews for Crossroads Apartments - Columbia

Basically Crossroads is an ok apartment. The price was great, It was my first apartment and I didn't really have any problems. My only concerns were that a lot of people do hang out, outside the apartments and it made me feel very uncomfortable. I would be walking to my car and all I would hear was "Ay girl!" In my opinion not a very safe place for a female but, for a guy im sure they would love it! Overall the staff was pretty good, never really had a lot of pest control problems every now and then but nothing a little bug spray from lowes couldn't handle. Overall living out there in the winter time was great because no one was ever outside!! But summer time get ready!!!

I went in to talk to one of the staff about my rent and she was so lo7ud about it everyone in the office knew my business before I left the building. I think if our money problem is between the two of us then everyone esle shouldn't know either.

Yeah I've heard about all the bad things that go down around here. So far everything is okay- if i call with a problem the staff is here to fix it within hours. Nice place to live- i can only give good reviews

I moved to Columbia in Nov 97 and knowing little about the city, I lived here while familarizing myself with the city. It was inexpensive - about $350 for a studio. I did see an abnormal amount of roaches, but staff usually came to spray when I complained. Water used to be covered in the rent, then they started charging for it and charged extra for hot water usage??? I argued that I payed for the electricity that was used to heat the water. Also, it is located within miles of the SC Correctional Institute. Anytime escapees were on the loose (and it happens more than you think), the place was crawling with Police. Evidently cutting thru this apt complex was the closest route to the interstate or they had family/friends living there. I also remember the police finding 2 bodies in the wooded commons area, victims of a car jacking on I-26. Crossroads does feature two pools, both with an afro-sheen film on the water and constant beat of bass influenced music. I did meet some great friends there, but luckily, I was able to find a much nicer apartment. I moved to Riverview in Feb 1999 and lived there until May 04, when I moved to Greenville. <P>

Crossroads is the biggest apartment complex in South Carolina. You'll have trouble finding better apartments for the money. I moved into a studio for $350 a month. The complex seems to have a shady reputation, but from my experience its a nice and safe place to live. Just make sure you get an apartment with sunlight, because they didn't waste any money on light fixtures. <P>
