My daughter has lived at The Village for almost 3 years. She has thoroughly enjoyed her experience and the staff has always addressed any problems that may arise in a timely manner. She has never had a security issue and we have peace of mind knowing they have a great new security team and police officers living on site. The maintenance team has always been great and I highly recommend The Village.

i have really enjoyed living at the village the past two years. they have great amenities. i use the workout room almost everyday and i'm really going to miss it when i have to leave because of graduating. the people here are really nice and always speak when walking in and out of the clubhouse. its also great that its away from the noises in the city and you don't really hear the trains like you would living on campus.

I have lived in The Village for 3 years. I love the community and the clubhouse and amenities are great! The apartments are spacious, stylish, and the walk in closest are a plus. The staff are all extremely friendly and the maintenance crew is very nice and fixes things in a timely manner. The shuttle to campus is super convenient and the drivers are really sweet. The apartments are a decent size and the walk in closets are awesome. At night there are security guards who drive around the apartment complex which makes residents feel safer. Overall, The Village is a great place for a college student to live. It is not very close to campus but the bus and amenities make up for the distance.

Over the past couple of years I have enjoyed living in the Villages but I am about to graduate and it is time to move on. It is in a great location for football games and going out on the town as well as not too far from campus either. There are many amenities such as washer and dryer or even a dish washer. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of affordable living in a fun college atmosphere!

The Village has many amenities that I enjoy having access to. They are always giving away free food for residents, and are always nice when you need anything. The rooms are very spacious with lots of storage, and the kitchen is very large. The times that I have put in a maintenance order, they have fixed the issue as soon as possible. I have enjoyed my stay so far at the Village!

I have had nothing but terrible experiences with this apartment complex. Utilities are insanely high each month, 70-180 dollars PER person. Water is billed per building, so no matter what you do you will never be able to get that bill down. We have tried energy saving "tips", but these have gotten us nowhere. Every apartment is ROACH infested and appliances are mostly broken. We recently went without consistent running water for three months and a broken dryer for four months before anything was done to fix it. Maintenance and Management provide no compensation or assistance for problems had by tenants. They are very polite and I have had positive experiences with them individually, but overall when it comes to giving actual answers and getting things done in a remotely reasonable or timely manner, they fail. Lastly, the complex is extremely unsafe- someone was shot in the lot in May and kidnapped out of it in August, but the Village keeps these incidents on the DL and won't even text alerts to their tenants when these sort of things happen. Gunshots are heard regularly by tenants. I don't know a single person that lives here and doesn't regret it!

What isn’t advertised is “rent goes up each month, we don’t know what we really charge you for, electricity bill is ridiculous” no one at the office, not even Management can give you a clear answer of what you are being charged for. When I signed my lease rent said $609 a month.. I calculated extra fees of course but I did not calculate paying more than $700 for rent! The only thing decent about the village is the look of the apartments on the website. Other than that they’re a scam. I’m currently stuck in a lease. I’ll never recommend this to anyone. And I will always let people know when they ask about it. Might as well include the speed bumps in the rate for messing up people’s tires.

True be told! I would renew my lease for another year but the only thing that is stopping me from not renewing is. 1. The neighbors upstairs don't do nothing but run up and down the steps. 2. I came home from work and found nothing but dog poop in front my door. 3. It took them almost 3 month's to fix my mailbox key. The Village is a great place to live! I can give them that. I didn't have ANY problems with bugs or insects in my apartment at all. So if anyone be put in the apartment that I'm in for next year of AUGUST 2018, you will love the inside of it! Oh and make sure you keep your account current and at zero and management won't bother you with endless emails. They will also CHARGE YOU TEN DOLLARS AND YES I SAID TEN DOLLARS TO PAY YOUR RENT ONLINE! And pay attention to your neighbors because they will PUT THEY TRASH IN YOUR TRASH BIN IN FONT YOUR DOOR BECAUSE THEY ARE TO LAZY TO PUT THEY OWN TRASH IN THEY OWN BIN. I never saw a bunch of trifling people in my life.

The place was filthy when we moved in. Maintenance will not come out unless you bug them repeatedly, and when you do call, they just say they'll check on it for you. I literally had my front door not lock for over a week, and someone at some point said they fixed it, but they did not. I had to do that myself. My personal toilet did not work for over a week, and they did not come out for that either. I had to do that myself as well. I've heard a lot of people around me have roaches, but I currently have only seen a few. They are more interested in your money than you. Don't rent here.

Its an alright place to live. The charge for utilities is insane (water, electric, sewage) its an extra $80 or more a month on top of rent when it used to be included. You can see the spot in the wall where cable TV used to be which you now have to pay roughly $80 a month or more for something I think should be included and is included in many other areas around Columbia such as Green Crossing and Stadium Suites. Definitely not bad, the clubhouse amenities are nice (if you ever use them). For the price you pay for what you get. Friendly staff, eh location, free parking and reliable shuttle system are some other points worth mentioning. Not resigning because too many maintenance issues when I first moved in as well. Took them two weeks to actually get a competent person out to my apartment to fix the air conditioning which wasn't working properly. Every maintenance person lied to me and claimed it was working when my room was 80 degrees while the thermostat was set on 70. Took me complaining everyday to some manager that finally got a real air conditioning company to look at the unit. So that got me off of the wrong foot. Since then they have attempted to make up for it by fixing many other issues like no functioning ice maker, no sink stopper, no toilet paper holder, cracked microwave, broken drawer under the oven and no drip pans on the stove. I still can't get that bad taste out of my mouth for the terrible move in experience. Appreciate their attempt at trying to do better.

This office does not uphold the reward program. they nickel and dime you on fee's. the rent goes up every year. front office staff are helpful but management never calls you when you need to talk to them. They take messages but never return calls.

The best way I can describe this place is lipstick on a pig. Power bill runs $80+ per person if not up to $120. The maintenance is just a group of kids who try their best to fix things that they don't know how to fix. Overall expect your bill to be about $700+ per month, not $589. The trash situation is terrible, with bags of trash spilling out of the compactor almost constantly. At some point we decided that we did not feel safe living here, gunshots every other few days, random people walking around looking for trouble in the night. I highly recommend you cancel any tour or lease, and find a place with better management and a safer location.

The WORST OF THE WORST OF COLUMBIA FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS!!
New management does not care about anything except scamming college students who they do not consider smart enough to tell when they are being overcharged for utilities amongst various "amenities provided by the Village".
Some terms of agreement within the lease do not match up with South Carolina law and are solely there to trap and trick college students.
PLEASE do not live here for the sake of your pockets and well-being. The Village's management morals are nonexistent and they only value money.
They refuse to address any concerns you have but pretend they do only for publicity.
Don't be me. Don't be stupid and sign blindly with an apartment complex whose goals lie in ripping off college students.
The most reviews have rated this complex 1 star. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS.

This place used to be great before the new owners took over. They got a middle man "utility billing company" that definitely does not charge based on what the actual electrical usage is. They charge a million service fees for electric and water. Also, they took away cable, so now to have cable, you HAVE to go through the company selected by The Village and it costs a ton extra per month. Also, the campus shuttle breaks down literally all the time. It's a nice place to live, but definitely NOT WORTH IT.

I love living here! The Village is on the lower end of cost compared to other student living complexes but you definitely can not tell you walk into my apartment. My apartment is very spacious and I have a huge walk in closet and large bathroom! The maintenance is great and they respond to work orders quickly. LEASE HERE!
