Our oldest daughter moved in 2017 to a 1 bedroom unit that was almost new. It was on the 2nd floor and she had a covered deck that faced the NE (perfect with no hot afternoon sun). She was able to bring her Maine Coon kitty for a reasonable pet deposit and he enjoyed sitting out on the deck when she was home. She loved the security for herself and her kitty as not only did she had a door to her apartment but there was also another entry door at the bottom of the stairs. It was very affordable and
...everything is included in the monthly rent. The complex has a mix of students...grad students, older residents, a few families and more women than men renters. She felt safe and didn’t have to worry about a loud party atmosphere. The washer/dryer in unit worked great and the heating/A/C units in the living room and bedroom worked well.
It’s about a 6-7 mile drive to the Clemson campus (about 15 minutes) and you’ll need to get a commuter parking pass. There is no bus stop or campus transport bus to these apartments. The only issue she had was when power went out, it often was out longer than other places because it is farther from campus and not in a high density area so doesn’t get priority for service but that was not the apartments fault.
When she graduated, her sister who is 2 years younger moved into her apartment. We didn’t have to move too much thankfully and she brought her Maine Coon kitty as well. We love Maine Coons LOL!
So we had 2 college daughters at Clemson live here for a total of 4 years and both were happy with their experience and the affordability of having their own 1 bedroom apartment with a pet.
The girls took very good care of their apartment and we will receiving most of our deposit back as everything was spotless and in good working order at our walkthrough.
When we first rented at the Groves, Chuck was the manager. Since that time, his son Colby has now taken over the responsibility and they both were responsive to any needed requests, repairs or questions. Shoutout to Margaret who works there and is seen almost daily on the property keeping things running smoothly.
Are there rules? YES...parking rules, noise rules, guest rules, pool rules, trash rules, etc. Follow them and you’ll be fine!
$250 per pet.
