Columbia's very own co-working space…read more If your not familiar with how they work, basically you pay a monthly fee for access to the office and amenities. SOCO has two spots in Columbia, one in the Vista and one in the Bull Street District. I prefer Bull Street because parking there is free, and most seem to want to work in the Vista location so the Bull Street one is more quiet while the Vista is better for more social driven interaction. The staff at SOCO are super cool and friendly, other business people there rule, and the community events are pretty cool. Rules are totally flexible, meeting rooms rock, free awesome coffee and beer everyday and much more. If you want a spot to work every once or even if your looking for private offices SOCO has you covered.

In love with this coworking space!…read more While traveling for work, I often play the coffeeshop hop which can get exhausting. You can only have so many coffees and teas in one day. Not to mention the never ending search for an open outlet to keep the laptop charged. For only $20, I got a day pass to SOCO and would return in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Columbia. The entrance is a bit hidden on a side street of Gervais. From there, it's on the second floor. The wood floors, brick walls, dim lighting, and open feel create a really nice atmosphere for getting work done. There is a kitchen area, couch, and a variety of desks (including a standing one!) to hang out around. For conferences, they do have private rooms that are normally just for members to use. And yes, there are more outlets than one could ever need. Members have 24 hours access and gain entry with a fob, while the main doors close at 5:00 pm to visitors. Thanks SOCO for letting me crash for a couple of days. I'll definitely be back!

This is the fifth annual Cottontown Art Crawl,140 artists to show and sell their original work. While artists are located throughout the neighborhood, the corridor is intended to be more accessible to individuals with mobility issues. The event is FREE and open to the public and will also feature live music featuring local bands and performers. This year a few food trucks available, unfortunately some vendors ran out of food by 2pm. I highly recommend this event to all!! Great way to support the local artist and enjoy the community.

I lived here for 2 years (2023-2025) in the 2bd/2br apartment (Bickley Floor plan) . The community…read morewas quiet, tucked away and overall, I really enjoyed it here. Seems to be lots of families as well as couples, however, everyone mostly keeps to themselves. The apartment was homey and felt safe. It backs up to the old golf course (no longer in use) which connects to Mungo park. There's nice walking trails and open areas, perfect for pets/kids. The downside to the apartment was that there was no overhead lighting or fans in the bedrooms/living room which was annoying, and they didn't have a trash pickup (but charge a monthly trash fee). Only ever had 2-3 maintenance needs but they were attentive and fixed everything appropriately. I moved out due to significant price increases which I didn't feel were warranted given the age of the apartments and lack of amenities (no granite countertops, outdated appliances, carpet throughout, no trash pickup, no overhead fixtures, no closet lighting, etc.). All of which I was fine with for the previous rental amount. Renewal option price rates were all over the place from $1315/mo to $1818/mo. 12 month option had an increased rate of over $500 more per month than what I was paying. I enjoyed my time here, it just didn't make sense to stay. Also, keep in mind that if you live on the third floor, moving in and out is difficult due to the stairs. There is a landing between each floor making the stairs zig-zag.

My family and I moved here in January 2013. When we moved here the apartment complex was under a…read moredifferent property management company. During that time overall we had a positive experience with the old management company. We didn't have any issues with office staff or management during the time of the old management company. The residents during this time were very mixed income and diverse racially. But they didn't have standards for residents. We weren't as likely venture out for outdoor activities. In 2014 the apartments were purchased by Aspen Management. Soon after every changed for the better. Families who were behind on rent, had extensive criminal backgrounds, who caused severe damage to the property, or overall problem residents were not asked to renew their lease or were evicted. The renovated every apartment and townhouse once someone moved out. Doing this brought in folks were willing to pay increased rent prices and who wanted to live more of a suburban life (less diverse but still mixed income). They changed the landscape, created a fitness center, clean and modernized the pool, created lounge and picnic areas, dog park and even corn hole and horseshoe pits. Overall we had a positive experience with old and new management and moved because we decided to move to Charlotte. The rent increases were in line with other apartments and townhouses that are that close to the lake. Would recommend these apartments if you want a more suburban life; if you have children; if you want to live close to chops and restaurants and if you like being close to the lake. Management also have social events during various holidays and season highs. You can also rent parking spaces if you have more than one car or need more than usual or if you like to park right in front of you place or close to your door. Negatives from our viewpoint: traffic congestion, UPS/FedEx deliveries mishaps, while renovations are happening maintenance and reno guys park trucks in the most inconvenient places i.e in front of mailboxes or management office. Suggestion to Management: create recycling for mailbox area; so much of the junk mail is thrown in trash.

I was told by the supervisor that our apartment looked great. His biggest concern was the carpet. The people who cleaned carpet were their carpet cleaners; my husband was there when the carpet cleaners arrived he didn't deep steam the carpet correctly. It's not our fault, they want to charge us for a refrigerator replacement. We were there 3 years, things wear and tear. They kept all our deposit and want to charge us $200.00 more. We had that apartment cleaned, window panes, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc. They will keep your deposit, I was warned by residents there that moved out. ​God sits high and look down, see everything that goes on. It doesn't make sense to keep people's money; show me itemized statement with prices and I will find out if price is really that much. ​You got deal with dog poop everywhere, mud when it rains but they don't do anything about that. People too lazy clean up their stanking dog poop, then leave dog poop bag by the door for trash man to get it. We should have received half our deposit and more for what my husband paid for that apartment when we moved out. DO NOT pay to get it professionally cleaned and carpet cleaned, they will keep your deposit!!!!!!
