What attracted me to the community was the front office personnel, that person is long gone now, and the fact that Harbison is a townhome community which is indeed unique in the Columbia market. Also, the three bedroom apartments have ample square footage and is configured in a way that maximizes that square footage. It also comes with a washer and dryer combo which is included in your base rent. Oh and it is satellite tv ready. The downsides- the apartment complex is old and has electrical
...problems. But the apartment is making efforts to update the facade of the buildings--inside and out. So it appears like it looks very nice but substantive issues like plumbing, water, drainage, and the AC needs some TLC. All of the apartments are facing AC issues and the apartments have change out all the units for entire rows of apartments at the same time. This means that current residents are suffering and new resident are unknowly buying a grenade that won't go off again till next summer. Some less than others as their units may not be completely out but just work at a subpar level. Also, because of all this, the one and only maintenance personnel can't handle the work load and requests go unanswered for minor issues that are still the office's responsibility. Some residents have drainage issues (those at the bottom of a hill)which you can see for yourself from the sandbags lining certain apartments. Their apartments frequently flood on rainy days and the apartment complex has promised at least one I've talked to that they would fix the issue soon (3 years ago ppl). Oh and if you have an AC issue, they no longer provide temporary units to tied you over until it's "fixed." As for amenities, there is a playground and an outdoor vending machine. Inside the office, they stock free sodas and coffee. Unfortunately, there is no workout center on site. But you get access to the Harbison Recreational Center that's right across the way without an extra fee and it also has a pool. But as other reviews have said that's not much. If you are a family with children, the center and its staff are not very friendly to your children. The environment there is very much catered towards welcoming the elderly and those without young children despite their various advertisements. Also there are well lit and well maintained trails done by the Harbison staff. They lead to a beautiful fountain in the woods and park with wildlife.
