I love the amenities—parties, the pool table, the swimming pool, and the fitness room. The location is great for working on Fort Jackson. There are so many stores close by, too, within walking distance. I wish we could somehow meet more neighbors.

Front desk people and manager are very helpful in resolving issues related to the apartment. We just moved in here to SC and there are good places to eat in walkable distance. Grocery stores like Lowes and Trader Joes are also in walking distances. Overall a very good neighborhood.

This is a great place to live. However flexibility in rental payment would be great. Offer a discount to State Employees who do a 12-15 month lease and flex pay on the rental payment would be a great option to add. Thank you.

It is not a bad apartment. Amenities are nice, clean, up-kept, but the walls are so thin. My upstairs neighbor and my side neighbors play really loud music. Really early in the morning and as a person who works a lot and only can get so much days off to sleep in , this is really annoying. I understand we are in an apartment complex and that is how it is, but not all of them have really thin walls like this one.

Wasn’t sure what to expect moving into an apartment from a house but I must say it has been fabulous. Not just the apartment living as that is still taking some getting used to but The Cardinals and everything about it from location to amenities and the friendly staff and tenants it’s such a fabulous experience.

I love the Cardinal. Location, safety, parking, amenities, the new maintenance team… all are fantastic. The building and landscaping are clean and sprayed for bugs (big win). The rent is more on the expensive side, but you get what you are paying for—so long as they don’t raise the prices.
