Great management, but paper-thin walls and nonstop noise
March 12, 2026
The new management is great, but the building is really horrible to live in. The walls are paper-thin, we can hear almost every conversation from our neighbors, especially during quite hours, even when they’re speaking normally. There are a lot of Airbnbs in the building, including our next door; large groups often show up and party until 3 a.m. It’s impossible to escape the noise, even with our bedroom door closed. There’s also a room on the first floor that’s frequently rented out for public ...
events, it gets super loud, and you often come home to strangers crowding the hallway and lobby while loud music blares across the whole floor. The main entry door is often left unlocked, so people can walk in without buzzing, which raises real security concerns. If you’re sensitive to noise or safety, I highly recommend not moving here.

impossible to contact
July 6, 2022
I was so excited to view this property and have been reaching out for weeks both email and over the phone and am extremely disappointed in their lack of communication. If they won’t even communicate to new people trying to give them their money, how do they treat their residents?

I have tried to contact them for a week now and they don’t email or call back. Disgusting customer service.

Beautiful Unique Apartments! Great Location!
May 4, 2018
I have been looking for an apartment for a long time and I have finally found my place at the new USCC. Its really modern like living in a luxury hotel but it still has those old features that I love, like exposed brick and the beam in my bedroom. Located right in the heart of Downtown Columbus I can walk to my work as well as many eateries, pubs, bars and shows which I take full advantage of. Great management. Easy to work with.
