We love it here!! Great renovated apartments! And great priced. The office staff is so wonderful and friendly! They made it so easy! We worked with Nikki, she is so communicative and helpful!
Southern Downs has a beautiful landscape and great community amenities. From sitting on you own private beach with a lake view to the tricked out dog park and palm surrounded swimming pool. I'm digging this place. My townhouse is large and updated and surrounded by shady oaks. The staff has been great!! My leasing agent Nikki was awesome, she made the whole process painless and helped me get the perfect pad!!
Their activities are so much fun. The bonfire was so much fun. My daughter played volleyball. The young kids that were hanging out at the bonfire were having a blast doing S'mores. I just enjoyed myself sitting around in the lounge chair. The entire staff was there and a shout out to them all for making that event and others enjoyable!
My time at Southern Downs has truly been one of the best and most accommodating experiences I’ve ever had; particularly because of the leasing agent Nikki Skipper. Nikki has been such a big help to me and my roommates over the past year. She went out of her way to help us with anything that came up on multiple occasions. Not only that, but she was extremely supportive and attentive to us throughout the process, as most of us weren’t very used to the steps involved in leasing. She understood how difficult the process of finding a home and being a full time student was, and because of that, she would help us by walking us through anything we didn’t understand, printing documents in office, and reminding us of our deadlines more times than I can count. She made the experience easy and worth while for all of us, and is continually checking on us to ensure that we’re satisfied and doing well. I’d like to personally thank her for her time and effort. From me and my roommates and Ragnar, thank you so much for everything you’ve done to help us and keep up the great work. And you better keep that Pikachu
Y'all, this place is great. Their staff is so friendly and helpful. I had to move in slightly sooner than intended, and they assisted me in every way possible. They are quick to answer any questions or requests such as our smoke alarm battery started dying so it was making that unholy sound they fixed it in a matter of hours. I could not be happier. I have the best roommates with their careful roommate matching system. The apartment is pretty spacious and nice for the price. It is not even ten minutes from the Georgia Southern campus, even less by bike. I love this place.
Almost a year here and its all good. The staff at the leasing office are nice and the maintenance staff do their best in timely manners.
When I moved into the apartment it immediately smelled of marijuana. So I went to get a room transfer and was told that I couldn't have my pet living with me even though I had already paid a pet deposit and was not refunded. Plus on top of that I had originally paid to have furniture in the place and wasn't refunded for that either. So I paid over $900 to live there and to top it all off the apartment that they transferred me to was not ready to be moved into at all. The bathroom was atrocious, there was sign of black mold in the air-conditioning vents, and the battery to the fire alarm was dead. Long story short don't sign a lease I only have 6 more months here and even that seems too long.
Southern Downs has been phenomenal. I had a few roommate problems before I moved in and my roommates that I had coming with me ended up not signing, so I was put into a room with random roommates. They were awful. They had cats and it smelled horrid. They had boyfriends living there that were not on the lease, so I reported it. I didn't want to live there whatsoever. Management came and handled the boyfriend situation and quickly relocated me to a new apartment. They were so positive and kind throughout the whole situation. I've never had a bug problem like a lot of the reviews say, at my old apartment or my new one.
Also, one time, my friends and I were at the pool on a hot day and the manager came up to us and brought us bottles of water with Southern Downs coozies on them.
The integrity here is honestly amazing. I really, really love it. Great location. Kind, caring management and staff. Inexpensive rates. What more could you want?
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LIVE HERE! I KNOW ITS CHEAPER, BUT I PROMISE YOU STAYING HERE WILL COST YOU YOUR PEACE OF MIND AND PLENTY OF MONEY ON THE BACK END!!! I moved in in August 2015 into a two bed, two bath townhouse. There were bugs everywhere. We had to get our entire house sprayed once a week for two months before it became livable. I complained several times to the rent office. One young lady advised that ,"She had bugs too". Then our air conditioner went out 2 weeks into living there in August. They kept sending ppl to come stare at the thing until Presto! Two months later we received an a/c unit. For a while, we lived in peace. Then I bought a dog. Paid the pet deposit, no problem. Pet deposit was $250. I left my apartment in may after graduation. I paid rent through June. Apparently my utilities took $30 from my June rent. I was not notified. They had an eviction put on me over $30. Very long story short I paid over $900 for July. The pet deposit was a fee not a deposit and didn't go to any damages. The staff lied to me when I asked to speak with a manager. They do very very terrible business. They do not respect students who don't have a parent to bully them. DON'T RENT HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!
Great community. The staff are wonderful. And the renovations are out of this world. This neighborhood is nothing like it once was. If you're in the market for a new apartment, try them. They have awesome rates too.
