The Best Value Apartment in West Ashley
August 7, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived at Townhouse Village for 2 years. This was my third apartment. This complex is the first one I'd recommend in the Charleston area for anyone looking for a great place for a reasonable price.
Management: I am a very low maintenance resident, but management was always responsive and friendly towards me. I had some concerns with a neighbor early on while living here, and they approached the situation objectively and resolved it well. Townhouse Village recently merged their management staff ...
with Village Square Apartments. However, I continued to work with the same representatives of Townhouse Village, so they continued to be great to interact with.
Financial/Deposit: Townhouse Village is very reasonably priced. They are large apartments, and there were no increases to my rent during my time there. Deductions from my deposit were reasonable, and I was charged what I expected with no bogus fees.
Property: Townhouse Village is a somewhat old complex, so the exterior appears somewhat antiquated. The landscaping is well maintained in most cases. The walls are somewhat thin due to the apartments' age.
Maintenance: I had only 2 maintenance issues over the course of 2 years. The first was a low-urgency door knob malfunction that was fixed the next day. The other was a more urgent water heater leak, but this was fixed very promptly after they completely replaced the water heater. I was very impressed at maintenance's professionalism and timeliness.
Safety/Surrounding Area: Townhouse Village is located in a reasonably safe part of town, but it's certainly not as nice as Mount Pleasant or James Island. There are many shopping locations nearby, including the mall. This also means that there is quite a bit of noise pollution.
Cleanliness/Pests: Townhouse Village hires an exterminator to spray each apartment for pests every few months. As a result, I believe I saw only 1 cockroach during my entire 2 years there. Spiders and silverfish were uncommon. Like everywhere in Charleston, there were a ton of termite swarmers depending on the time of year. I never saw any signs of rats or mice.
Overall, Townhouse Village is a great value at a convenient location. I would still be living there if I didn't have to move for a new job!
