MAA Westchase Apartamentos

Westchase is the worst place I've lived in Charleston, by far.

It's unsafe - multiple cars were stolen in the two years I lived there, my laundry was stolen from the communal laundry machines (that were regularly broken).

It's dirty - we had issues with mold if we did not run a large dehumidifier 24 hours a day (resulting in a higher electric bill.) Even then, we still had mold on the ceilings and doors. We had roaches regularly, despite our own cleanliness.

It's loud - you can hear all of... the traffic from 526 in quite a few of the units.

The infrastructure for the internet package you are required to get is so old that the internet is not reliable at all. I work from home, so this was quite disruptive in addition to the water being turned off property wide semi-regularly.

When we moved out, we paid extra for a cleaning package but we were still charged $150 for "wall treatments", even though the walls are supposedly painted between residents. I called multiple times to try and talk to somebody about this and never got a call back. When I did eventually get somebody on the phone, they told me I had to call back and talk to somebody else about that. (Apparently it is too difficult to leave a note requesting that person contact me. A+ customer service.)

Honestly, just avoid it. It's the worst place I've ever lived. Shoutout to the maintenance guys though - they were the only cool thing about the place. Lee mas

This place has a great location and my experience with management was pretty good. But outside of that, there is just nothing about it that warrants it’s current price. My apartment and clothing constantly reeked of cigarettes (I don’t smoke…), there is constantly dog waste everywhere on the property, and there’s a certain dingy and shoddy feeling in the place. When it was sub-1k, it was reasonable, but now, you should believe me when I say you can get way more value for the same price than this... place. Lee mas

Do NOT get packages delivered to your residence. Ive had two packages stolen/ lost and notified office. Nothing happens, and no response. Spent 250 dollars to get a PO box. Also the walls are extremely thin and anytime neighbors play their music at ignorant levels your whole unit will shake. Also, again, office was notified and nothing changes. Be wary.

The staff is friendly to your face and when they are trying to sign you. After you sign you’re stuck dealing with indecent attention to clear violations of space. The back part of the complex floods, people don’t pick up after their dogs and leashing isn’t enforced so some pets attack others. Usually some kind of ruckus occurs weekly- ambulances, police, loud people in common areas. The auto-care area is just a vacuum you have to pay for and a hose. The “dog park” is not maintained. Packages... get stolen/lost. Lee mas

My experience so far is kinda the opposite what i heard so far... The laundry center breaks down every week and the replacement takes again at least 2 weeks. There is no noise cancellation at all so if you need to get up early for work expect to be woken up either from a car engine or a loud neighbor. Inside the Appartement you got not one roommate, you got 4 since you can hear everything, the floor is just a thin wood plate inbetween. The office people are friendly but don't get distracted from... that, if you need help most of the times they try to brush you off. So to get things moving you need to take multiple visits. Lee mas
