  • Do not live here. Local Management team is terrible!

    February 4, 2026
    The management team is terrible. They send nasty and aggressive emails to residents. They don’t answer emails or phone calls. Find somewhere else to live. Want to see pictures of the things they do, check the google reviews

The apts are bright & sunny with big windows flanked by trees &greenery, the buildings are beautiful, the amenities are great ( wonderful pool, gym, tennis courts, outdoor grill, a common room used for special events, appliances continue to function very well, an ...

    When I made the decision to move from Maryland to Columbia, SC the most important decision that I had to make is where I was going to live. I visited about 4 properties before I got to 42 Magnolia 5000 Forest. After I toured the property, I knew that I wanted to call this place home! I moved into my unit on June 7th and it's been wonderful! The leasing staff made the process seamless from beginning to end. Tyra, specifically, was extremely helpful with all of my questions and concerns. The ...
    property is always well maintained, the residents are pleasant, and the location is convenient to shopping needs, downtown Columbia, restaurants, and the highway! I made the BEST choice!

    I’ve lived at 42 Magnolia for over 12 years, with the exception of one year when I relocated to Hilton Head Island, after which I couldn’t wait to return to this apartment complex. As my lifestyle changed I moved into four other apartments in this complex and I intend to stay in my current unit as long as I can. Over the years the staff has changed but the excellent service remains the same. The units here are all very attractive: Nicely laid out, large sunny windows with views of the ...
