Creekside at Greenlawn Apartment Homes

The apartments are in good condition, management is reasonable, and overall there is a lot of good going for this place. This is especially true given the good location if you work in Columbia. The staff will hear your concerns and are willing to address them. We have lived here for almost two years and have only had a couple of issues, which in my experience, you can’t beat.

I love my apartment. I think the carpets in the hallways need updating outside of that I have no complaints.

The property is very much designed to look much nicer than it actually is. Common areas are filthy, doors that are supposed to be locked do not lock at all, call boxes are broken, there is only one (two at most) maintenance worker (who do the best they can) management’s only interest is squeezing more money out of their already-overpriced property. For example, they are converting previously-free parking spaces into paid, “reserved” ones.

The management here is shockingly incapable. People... regularly ignore the valet trash and pet rules causing everything to be filthy and management’s only solution is to send unprofessional emails that nobody reads. They also pass everything off on an already-overworked and understaffed maintenance team. Cleaning common areas? Make maintenance do it. Got a noise complaint? Call maintenance. You’d better hope you can coordinate a package delivery — the leasing office will send your package back to sender without a second thought. It really makes you wonder what the leasing office is paid to do.

Pay close attention to the units. Baseboard moldings are poorly done and are irregular. Towel racks are cheap and poorly installed. You will constantly hear your neighbors. There is a layer of luster put over everything in this complex to hide the ugly truth.

If you care about amenities you might find those to be somewhat redeeming. There is a pool and fitness center.

Be prepared to drive everywhere and deal with not-great traffic. It isn’t the worst location but it is just not worth it with a management team that clearly shows up to collect a paycheck and then goes home. Spend your rent money somewhere that actually functions like it is supposed to. Lee mas

I wrote a review two years ago about cockroaches and yes there are still cockroaches..the agency continues to use tactics to deflect blame from themselves. I have seen them be unhelpful to people they don’t like so to stay in good graces I have stayed away from them all together ...I reviewed my lease and realized they have me in a 13 month lease and when I brought it to their attention they said you signed it so if we made a mistake and you didn’t catch it there’s nothing we can do ...obviously... they collected the rent on tine for 3 years with no complaints about me as a tenant and all I get is a sorry you didn’t catch it .....I’m glad I’m moving Lee mas

My boyfriend and I moved in to Creekside around 2 weeks ago, and so far it’s been really wonderful. The staff has been unbelievably helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process (since we were just looking to prior to move in to move in day and after). The apartment is beautiful and has everything we wanted. Fixtures and details are very nice, the unit was very clean when we moved in, and the building and community are all very well-kept. I have nothing but positive things to say so far... about this community. Already feels like home, we’re looking forward to at least a few years here! Lee mas
