Stayed for two years

July 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Stayed here for about two years, I really don't think the price we paid was worth it. Pretty overpriced by the time we moved out. They raised our rent so much by the time we had to move out or choose one of their new renovated units. Most of our neighbors basically moved out by the time we were about to leave. The new additions/ammenities they've added to "justify" the rent hikes I don't recall asking for and would've rather had better rent. There were lots of small issues we had while staying ...
there like, cockroaches sometimes appearing, brown recluses coming in through the vents, frequent smell of weed coming through the vents and windows, and a cigarette smoking smell in the hallways for about a full year. There was also the time that my roommate got their laundry basket stolen from the laundry room in the past, and a few of the packages left at our door were stolen too. Our refrigerator froze over like 4 times and had to be dethawed before they finally replaced the fridge, near the move out date. Its hard to recommend the wifi, it was pretty reliable for the most part, but it would completely cut out a couple times every once in a while, and there was also the fact that we didn't get to use our own router which was pretty disappointing. It was nice seeing the little apartment complex events sometimes where the office ladies would put posters up on the doors for free lemonade, or ice cream, or holiday competitions. I liked that. On the moveout we were hoping we'd get some of our large security deposit back if we cleaned super well, but nope. Apparently its just so that they don't charge you fees for cleaning, so that was disappointing since we spent a lot of time making everything look nice, and they were gonna renovate that unit anyways. Overall the apartments just feel overpriced, and even though its a pretty location sometimes, I don't think its worth staying there for what you're gonna have to pay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We truly appreciate the opportunity to hear about your experience and would be happy to discuss any concerns you may have. Please feel free to reach out to our Community Manager, Erica, at columns@cresmanagement.com or (417) 881-1612. We would be glad to speak with you directly and see how we can help. We also wanted to clarify the question regarding security deposits. Residents who moved in before CRES Management took over the property in August 2022 did not pay a security deposit under the previous management company. Instead, they paid non-refundable move-in fees, and no security deposit was collected at move-in. Thank you again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

One of the best apartment complexes I've lived at

May 13, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I've lived here for 3 years and just recently moved into one of the renovated units. It's a great atmosphere inside and outside. Nice staff and Rachel in the office is very easy to work with. She's gets back to my emails very quick. No complaints here. Awesome place to live!

Wonderful experience

August 16, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I've been living here since May 2023, and it has been a wonderful experience. The management staff is very friendly and attentive. I felt welcomed when I moved in. They regularly organize events to include tenants like movie nights, pool parties and coffee stands. They seem to work hard to make things enjoyable. Maintenance answered the same day to an AC leak I had. Amenities like the patio, pool, game room and gym are quite great. I love walking and seeing the ducks, geese, fish, turtles and ...
squirrels, even though some areas are still being remodeled. Carpets are being renewed too, but this has taken a bit long. However, it is still nice to see they are working on it. In conclusion, I would happily recommend this place to a friend or relative. Thank you!

Great Apartment this far.

July 28, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
Just recently moved in and the process was seamless. Rachel and the management at front desk are very nice and helpful with all questions and concerns. Amenities are top notch. Looking forward to the rest of the year.

July 12, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
The girls that manage this property are amazing. Of all the apartments in towns I'm so glad I chose this one. Felt right at home from day one. And the courtyard, amenities and pool area top notch.

My forever home

July 11, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived here for 11 years and plan to live here for the rest of my life. I am 71 years old and have felt so safe and joyful here. The management team is kind and responsive. They really spoil us! It has so much natural beauty and is quiet and relaxing. They have been remodeling and renovating the past two years and the results are breathtaking!

terribly managed

January 6, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
this complex will penny pinch for any minor thing all while not being able to provide the amenities paid for by tenets, as of the time writing this review only 4 of the 16 washer and dryer units work as-well as the the fact the court yard is poorly maintained and not lit all while cosmetic changes are made leaving the hallways smelling very strongly of chemicals to give the appearance of luxury living while not providing it. all this on top of the fact that if an apartment is listed as available ...
it may not actually be available as was the situation with me. after being told i’d have an apartment by a certain date and all dues payed i was ghosted by the apartment till 2 weeks after agreed move in date but they still made sure to make me pay full months rent for that and the next month.

We are concerned about the feedback regarding your move-in process and would like to discuss it with you. There has been a change in ownership and management along with several new team members at The Columns. We are making many improvements to the community, and you’ll be happy to know that the laundry rooms are at the top of our list. New machines that offer an App to receive debit cards or coins will be installed by the end of January. For more details and a chance to discuss your concerns, please give me a call. Erica, Community Manager.

Awful management.

July 21, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
We have not had AC for two weeks now with the heat index getting as high as 106 degrees. They clearly have no urgency to fix it. Management doesn’t care about you or your problems, It isn’t worth living here.

Best Apartment I've had.

May 17, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
Quite, Affordable, Friendly Neighbors and Staff. I don't ever recall having any complaints except maintenance walking in unannounced.

4 Awesome years

September 22, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Like my title says I spent the last four years at the columns and never had a problem. The staff has always been courteous and amazingly friendly. The maintenance is always been on time usually the same day or the following day. The amenities there have always been open to me and are fantastically well maintained despite the age of the building, I have never see myself living out until I got in a relationship and looking for a place with more room for me and a doggy. That is only real ...
complaint; no dogs or cats but still a fantastic place to live.

4 years at the Columns IV

September 7, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
For the last four years I have lived here, and I have loved every day there! From the staff to the actual apartments are great. They office staff has always been warm, open, and always willing to help out and make sure everything is taken care of. The on site maintenance are just as impressive, fast and efficient and normally fixed my issue on the same day if not the next. The walls are almost sound proof! I could crank up my games or TV almost to full and my neighbors never heard me unless ...
they were trying to. I recommend anyone looking for a great apartment for a good price to look here and take a tour, you will want to sign right away!

Comfortable

September 3, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Columns IV is a great place to live! It is not the most luxurious of Springfield's apartments but it makes up for that with its affordable pricing. The Columns has a nice pool and hot tub, that are its hilights, in the center of its courtyard. Come today and enjoy the comfortable and relaxing envirement at Columns IV apartments.
