We loved living in the Lofts on Broadway! We are a married couple in our late 20s. We loved being able to walk to restaurants, shopping, and bars downtown. The corner of 10th & Broadway could not be a more ideal location for getting anywhere downtown or walking to campus. We rarely had a problem with noise from outside or noise from neighbors in the building. Overall, our neighbors were respectful professionals around our age which we loved. Anyone looking at this building should be ok with a little noise here and there and some shenanigans in the streets on weekend nights. It was all harmless but something to be aware of before signing. The finishes and appliances in the building are incredibly high quality. You could not ask for a better management team. The leasing team was amazing from the very beginning and Kevin (maintenance) was incredibly responsive when we needed things fixed, a light bulb changed, etc. The building was kept very clean, too. We had 2 great years at The Lofts and would have continued living there if it weren't for my husband's residency taking us to Chicago.

I really enjoyed this past year at the Lofts. Great location in the heart of downtown Columbia. Easy walk to class and restaurants and bars. The management team is nice to work with also. I would highly recommend the Lofts.

I lived at the Manor Apartments off Ashland Rd (owned by The Lofts of Columbia) my senior year and had the best apartment living experience out of my whole college career. The apartments are well kept up and maintenance is very quick! They have new appliances and modern-style living areas which made for comfortable living. The leasing office always responded promptly to phone calls and emails as well; the staff is extremely friendly. Sad to graduate and leave this place! Recommend to anyone!

UPDATE: Still upset with how long it took to get the pot issue resolved and what the receptionist did is inexcusable, but the pot issue seems to be an isolated incident. I've recommended a few of my friends to live here given the solution of my prior issues and how great Diane(the manager) both in temperament and management. The repair team is also friendly, prompt and professional. My prior concerns and issues included: 1. The receptionist named Sara telling the former tennants of my apartment that I was the one taking it(they ended up having to switch apartments because they didn't re-sign soon enough). That's actually a serious legal privacy issue. Fortunately, the former tennants don't seem to be the grudge-holding type. 2. Someone in my apartment building is smoking pot nearly every night. I have an allergy to the stuff and it sneaks into my place via the air vents, leaving me with constant migraines. Though when you sign with Ashland Manor, they do require you to sign a statement saying you will not do illegal things in your apartment. If you are busted for it, they can evict you. They caught the guy smoking pot in my complex (and he was taken to jail), but the manager decided to give the guy a second chance (even though we were all given a written warning as well). Two weeks go by without incident and now he's smoking again, but won't answer the door to the cops.

The Lofts of Columbia is the place to live! This Apartment Complex is beautiful and well maintained and the management team is incredible- very personable, organized and they get things done quickly! The location is also the best around. It is close to many restaurants and stores. If you are looking for a place to live, please check this building out. You will not be disappointed. I give it 5 stars!

BEAUTIFUL apartments. I lived in the Broadway location, which has more professionals and less undergraduate students - and the location is incredible. Not as noisy as you would think, but definitely some late at night on Wed/Thurs/Sat. The Lofts always responded really quickly to any request or issue I had and quickly resolved them as well. Abbie is who I spoke with mainly and she is such a gem! Really nice and easy to approach. Beautiful view of downtown, balconies were stunning and people always complimented the place when they came over. Studio is very spacious for a studio and very stylish/modern. The only reason I left is because I moved to another state!

There are many pros and cons to living at Ashland Manor. I lived there for two years. Pros: The grounds are kept pretty clean and the access to the trails is nice. Also, the pool access and tennis courts were a plus for the price of the apartment. The master bedroom is HUGE and so is the closet. It is walking distance from campus which was really nice. I enjoyed the scenery while living here. Cons: Ron the maintenance guy is rude. My a/c never worked so I opened the windows to get some air flow. When he came in to fix it he told me my problem was because I had the windows open. Kind of a smart ass, don't you think? The a/c was never fixed the entire time I lived there despite multiple calls to the office of my apartment being 85 degrees. If you live upstairs, good luck because you're looking at $150 utility bills. Also, there was a leak in my roof which dripped onto my bed. When maintenance came to fix it, they said there was nothing wrong, yet there was a hole in my ceiling. I had a leak in my bathroom and didn't hear maintenance knock at my door, which they thought I wasn't home (understandable). One of the maintenance workers didn't bother to knock on my bedroom door though after he came in, so he walked in on me sleeping, woke me up, and continued to work after he acknowledged that I was sleeping. I later found out that he had used my roommate's toilet because there was pee all over the seat, but my roommate had been out of town for two days. My apartment also had a bee issue. I told the office manager and she said they were just carpenter bees and they would go away--only after they had made their bee hive on my porch and burrowed into the exterior wall (they're called carpenter bees for a reason). There is also black mold down in the storage unit. We used to store clothes and furniture down there, but removed it because the mold in our storage locker had settled on everything. Lastly, my boyfriend and I have been moved out for over a month, and we still have not received our security deposits in which we are legally obligated to take action against them because they have had over 30 days to send it to us.

My husband and I enjoyed living here. The manager was super easy to work with and understanding. The grounds are always kept nice. Whenever we had a problem, maintenance responded within 24 hours and had the issue fixed. It is close the walking trails and the Grindstone nature area. It has a pool and tennis court, which are great places to meet friendly neighbors. Most of the people living here are young families and internationals and we have enjoyed getting to know some of them! This is a great place to live in my experience and it is one of the best priced!
