Great place to live! The Leasing Agents are nice and rent is reasonable. Best location you are going to find downtown.

District flats was by far the best apartment complex I lived in Columbia. The staff is super nice and helpful. Jeff was always super helpful and understanding. The apartments are very modern and clean. I had to move states or I would have renewed my lease without a second thought! read more

This is actually the worst place to live. Do NOT ever live here. Yesterday my roommate found a cockroach in her bathroom, there's mold in our whole apartment, and it is poorly managed. Also, it is right next to MyHouse and I usually can never sleep because my room is shaking at 1 am. read more

The common areas are barely cleaned. There is dog pee in the stairwell, check out the photos. Homeless people commonly brake into the building because of broken locks. None of the gym equipment work. If you want to step on dog poop when you get out of your apartment or smell garbage all the time while paying the highest rent in the town, you are welcome in DF! read more

District flats has been nothing but east since moving in last august of 2022. The staff is very helpful and when a repair is needed or any type of assistance, the maintenance crew is available right on the spot to help with whatever you may need. I Have absolutely loved living here! read more

Worse management leasing company. They give you the worse deal while they are so many better deals and vacant Apartments are available. It's become evident that since last month that we evacuated the apartment. There has no effort from Managemt to advertise our vacant Apartemnet. How did we get a deal of 859 for each room but now nobody is even willing to sublease for even 400 less? Isn't is that the property Managemt priority is to fill up the vacant apartment as opposed to helping the previous residence that had to move out. The whole focus is to have you sign the highest number contract and as many lease as they can!!!! They have so many low desks but they don't disclose! Don't sign a contract with this apartment complex otherwise you are stuck and no support afterwards! I will write a very comprehensive review of how they trick people to sign a contract! Stay away! Will keep you posted!... read more

District flats is amazing. I live in a different off campus housing and distract flats is by far the best. Wish I lived there. Amenities are A-1. Staff is the friendliest coolest people around. Love district flatts. read more

I lived in District Flats for about 2 years. The rooms are nice and spacious for what one can get for downtown apartments. And it was a considerably fair price compared to other downtown locations. The gym was usually clean, and the lobby was well taken care of. Location is great. Now I'll get to the reasons why I only leave them two stars. I have had various problems with the office staff. Our hallways on the 6th floor were constantly trashed, smelled awful, and there were constant fire exit signs that were knocked down and fire extinguishers sprayed all over the halls that would often go weeks without being replaced/cleaned. Whenever I would go to the office asking when the hallways would get cleaned, most of the staff was either too lazy to care, or they would give me a snappy, defensive reaction. Next problem: saftey. There are only about 8 cameras in the whole building. One on each floor (near the elevator) and one in the lobby/parking garage. This is probably a good reason why people found it easy to vandalize the hallways and dump milk on the floors with no consequences. My roommate and I were looking outside one night to see someone easily scale the back patio and enter the building with no key. I reported this to the office, but of course they did nothing at all. Final problem: Financial Catastrophes. I would rarely receive emails from them about any issues on my account. I moved out last December and paid everything in full before leaving. Not until March do I receive a letter from COLLECTIONS telling me that I owe $100 in cleaning charges from unexplained reasons. I never received one email or mail about this in the three months that it was on here. I called the District Flats Office and of course, without fail, they tell me it's not their problem anymore. Tl;dr.. It looks pretty on the surface, but make sure that you're prepared to deal with disgusting hallways and a difficult to work with office. read more

I filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General because District Flats double charged August rent. Not only was our double charged rent reimbursed, but it also reimbursed the rent for 14 other tenants. I had tried to resolve the issue previously by speaking to the manager (she hung up on me and refused to return my messages) and by writing a letter to corporate (never answered). I further complained that DF refused to walk through the apartment but still charged $200 for cleaning. I asked for proof, and I reimbursed the $200. District Flats is a terrible place to rent, primarily due to the poor management. First, it double charged us for rent for the first month. When I (the Mom) called to try to resolve the problem, the manager refused to speak to me. I wrote a letter to corporate, and never even received the courtesy of a response. The wifi and TV services never worked consistently. Maintenance was not handled in a timely manner. The amount of $250.00 was deducted from our security deposit without adequate explanation. Mizzou's student enrollment has dropped, meaning that there are many alternatives to District Flats. read more

You will encounter difficulty with leasing staff and they are very disorganized in regards to leasing and financial matters. There is a lot of misunderstanding for only one in the office is aware but is not there all the time and wait for days to get your inquiry settled, Considering the amount of rental ,the hallways are foul smelling, rotten skunk and smell of food. We can't cook inside the unit since the whole place will smell of food despite placing plug ins and air deodorizers. The most uncomfortable bed.The One star for location. read more

Hands do BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN COLUMBIA! The amenities and management are amazing and so well kept! The staff is also so nice and friendly, and know all the residents names! read more

I've lived here for 2 years and have never had any problems here! The place is always so clean, the staff is always friendly and quick to resolve any issues. You can NOT beat the location... it's literally right downtown and just a 3 minute walk to campus! PLUS Christie is the absolute best and always has events for us residents with free food and prizes. read more

As a current resident, I can say: DO NOT LIVE HERE. The management is unprofessional and will literally make your life a living hell. I can't wait to see this place shut down in a few years. I have enjoyed the the office employees and maintenance people but when the two people leading the team, and handling your money, are inconsiderate and just plain hard to talk to the building has no where to go but down. Plenty of other better and larger spaces to rent in Columbia for the same price if not less. read more

I am living in district flats for just a semester in a one bedroom. This is really nice considering how hard semester leases are to find. I only have good things to say so far. The leasing agents are friendly and the location is great. When moving in I was impressed by how clean my apartment was and for being a one bedroom there is ample amount of space. As well as all that, the amenities are cool. District flats is refreshing to come home to... if you are looking for a semester lease check out district flats! read more

District flats is the best place to live in downtown Columbia. Only a couple blocks away from the Mizzou campus as well as the bars. The building manager is amazing and so is the office and maintenance staff. They really go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. I love the gym, patio, and club room, especially when they have events. Don't live anywhere else!!!! Seriously. read more

I had avoided writing a review to try to remedy my situation with them. But in summary, unless you want to develop a chronic illness because of unsanitary and unsafe conditions in the apartment, do not live here. If you have any disability, this place is NOT accommodating, and will harass you if you ask for assistance resolving issues. I started off my first year here in general happiness. I had provided medical documentation regarding my pre-existing health problems, such as asthma. The original management was amazing about working with me, and would check on me if they did not see me for a while. I renewed before I knew that this management was not going to exist any longer. With the new management, things became progressively worse. They began to no longer clean messes in the public, common areas. They left feces, vomit, urine, and other substances I could not identify in the hallways, stairwells and community areas. It would take persistent reporting, and even calls to the health department, to have them clean the spot reported. It took them nearly a year to try to clean the carpets in the stairwell, which has no ventilation. The new management decided to steam clean the carpets, which ended up releasing ammonia into sealed hallways. This made my asthma ten times worse, and it hit points where I could not breathe properly, I was using my inhaler constantly, I could not sleep from coughing. When I reported it, and asked them to cease steam cleaning their carpets and find other ways to clean, as well as provide a hallway air filtration system to try to prevent the ammonia from entering into apartments, they laughed at my request. Because of my health problems, largely made much worse by living at District Flats (and I have medical documentation indicating so), I had to move back home. They told me I could be released from my re-signing if I provided medical documentation, which I did. They refused to acknowledge this, and now continue to harass me and threaten me. The health inspector spoke with them regarding releasing me from the lease of this year, and they agreed to him that it would be best, and then later denied making such an arrangement with him. I suspect they are so adamant about harassing and threatening me to pay rent for this year (despite me being 1,000 miles away and suffering from medical conditions because of them) because their complex is not full. They could not rent because their reputation has become so foul, largely because of situations like this. Please, please, please, parents, do not let your children rent here. It has been, by far, the worst mistake I have ever made in my life. read more

The new management is 100 times better. So happy to see this community turning around because it's so beautiful.

for the price, this space is super small. the shower water never gets hot enough. they don't upkeep well so beware of dog shit in the hallway and stains on the walls. if you ordered packages, expect the office to loose them because they will. read more

2 years ago when this facility opened it was at it's best. I can't believe how unmaintained this facility is for the money they charge. The back stairwell carpets are stained and the smell of urine is so strong you will gag. I recommend that you take a look at other cleaner and more affordable facilities and avoid this place. read more
