MAA 1201 Midtown Apartments

Lived here for almost two years and will not be renewing my lease because the property desperately needs to be updated for what they charge for rent. I had lived here for a year and my rent was raised over $400 to renew my lease. The office staff are condescending and unhelpful, if anyone is even there to speak with. I have lived in Mt. P and Downtown Charleston and never have had such an upsetting experience.

I rented this place sight unseen. The whole process was entirely stress-free and effortless. Shelby, the office manager, is thoroughly professional and helpful. She not only did a video walkthrough with me and showed me different apartments, once the apartment I had chosen became available, she sent me video of it so I would know exactly what I was getting. I’ve been here a week now and find everything to my liking and perfectly suited for my needs. Unit itself is well appointed, since I’m in... the new building there is an elevator, keyless access, spacious and well equipped gym downstairs, trash chute (no trash bins lining the hallways which I detest!), packages delivered to your door, high ceilings, clean and well maintained hallways….the list is endless. I just love my new home…..so happy to live here! Read More

I have lived at 1201 midtown since January, and I was one of the first residents in their newest building. At first, things seemed great. The apartment itself is very beautiful, the office staff is friendly, and maintenance concerns were handled quickly.

However, as more and more apartments were occupied, it became evident that noise is a real problem. I can hear every word of conversations held in the hallway, but worst of all, the noise that travels from my immediate upstairs neighbors is... appalling. I am awoken everyday no later than 6am by their running toddler. The vibration in my apartment is enough to rattle my blinds and wake me from a sound sleep. Although I was told when considering this complex that there are strict “quiet hours” between 10pm and 8am, the management team has not done anything to remedy the issue.

My recommendation would be too strongly consider how comfortable you are operating on your neighbors schedule before moving into this complex. In my opinion, no amount of subway tile or stainless appliances can make up for the lack of peace and quiet. Read More

I rented this apartment sight unseen but the office was very helpful with providing me a floor plan as well as measurements of the entire unit. Site location and apartment views were shared prior to final lease agreement.
Application, lease and move in went smoothly and 1201 Midtown did all they promised and were quick to respond to a few initial repairs. Any call to the office was handled in a friendly and efficient manner. Grace, Joanna, Erin and Diane create a warm and welcoming... atmosphere - its like walking into a friend's home. Maintenance staff - Quentin, Brent and Freddie have been most helpful with any request I have had and are great, helpful guys to have in your apartment - always polite, leave no mess and complete requests.
There are a variety of people and age groups here - it has that small town feeling with great amenities and beautiful landscaping.
I am beyond pleased with all experiences here and feel very fortunate to live in this great complex. Read More

If you like the A/C do not move here. They will cut off access to YOUR own air conditioning when it drops below 80 degrees outside. So if its 78 outside and you want to cool down they will just tell you to "open a window" to cool down. Absolutely absurd, if I pay this much and my apartment is 77 degrees on the inside, I want to turn my A/C on, not to open a window. I guess they are trying to save on their electrical bill.
