    The Watch at Shem Creek has some of the nicest outdoor facilities there are in Mount Pleasant. However, the value of the apartment is subpar. Apartments are old and they don't seem to have been remodeled in several years. The rent price is high and not a reflection of the value of the apartment.

    The Watch truly feels like coming home. From the moment you drive onto the property you feel like time slows down. Its a charming complex where staff and residents are friendly and the warmth is unlike any other property in the area. If an apartment could give you a hug, this would be the one to do it!

  • Amazing Customer Service!!!

    September 15, 2017
    I can’t begin to say enough about the amazing customer service I have had with the Watch on Shem creek. The assistant Manager Pam has gone above and beyond to ensure that we were happy during our stay and also happy after we moved. She has dedicated many hours over the phone and through email to make sure our experience was pleasant and seamless. Any issues that occurred we knew that she would be more than willing to assist. Not only did she provide amazing customer service but the apartments ...
    were always kept in great shape. If we ever are in the market for another apartment we will 100% lease hear again.
