The Radley, cayce-sc

Stopped here recently and honestly had a really good experience. The property looked clean and well kept, and Ryan made the whole process feel comfortable instead of rushed or awkward like some places do. He was easy to talk to, answered questions straight up, and actually seemed like he cared. Definitely one of the better leasing experiences I’ve had.

My apartment was shot up about a year ago, and I’m still dealing with the PTSD it left me and my roommates. Three bullets came through our walls—one entered my roommate’s bedroom and went into their mattress, and another ended up in our kitchen. It was an incredibly traumatic experience. What made it even worse was the response from the office manager at the time. When we explained that we no longer felt safe living there and wanted to break our lease, we were told we were exaggerating. There was little to no sympathy or concern for what we had just experienced. Although this property is advertised as student housing, that was not our experience at all. We regularly encountered people smoking marijuana in the stairwells and individuals openly carrying guns in the parking lot. I never felt safe living here. Based on my experience, I would not recommend living here.

DO. NOT. LIVE. HERE. This is the absolute worst residence I have ever seen. Before I say anything, and before The Radley comes at me about previous management: not a single thing has changed since management change. Sure, y’all are putting up gates. Great. People can still get in by foot. The previous manager continued to be the manager after the name change for months, only recently has he resigned. 1. I paid for amenities and utilities I was not able to use. For over 6 months, I was without walls and ceiling because of a mold problem that took far too long to be resolved. Because of the wall and ceiling removal, I could not use my stove, half of the cabinets, half of the electricity in my kitchen, and it was dirty and bugs came in because of the structure of the building being exposed. I never had access to the gym or pool because to my understanding you had to use an app to unlock the gates, and for some reason I couldn’t make an account, and nobody cared to help. Work orders being put in everyday were ignored for months. I also couldn’t use the TV due to it being broken before moving in. 2. Security absolutely sucks. A lot of these reviews talk about a shooting that took place on September 9th that took a young mans life. I was the pedestrian struck by his car that he lost control of. My leg was crushed and broken, and I had a head injury. I was traumatized, and I begged management for any kind of assistance and I tried to break my lease (which, according to Cayce law enforcement, was good enough reason to break a lease) but they told me no. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY SHOOTING!!! There have been many shots fired on this property, and I’ve heard stories about a gun being pointed and waved at another person, or somebody coming up to another persons door holding a gun. 3. Maintenance orders don't matter. Throughout my stay I probably put in over 50 work orders due to the awful structure and functionality of this place. 9 times out of 10 they were ignored. Plain and simple. I owe almost 400 dollars in cleaning and maintenance fees. I am responsible for some missing paint, not all of it. 400 dollars. make it make sense. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and I know I have plenty reason to sue. DO NOT LIVE HERE. Save yourself the stress, trauma, and trouble.

I recently spoke with Ryan Hill while looking into apartments at The Radley and he was incredibly helpful and professional. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, had a great attitude, and made the process feel welcoming and stress-free. Really appreciated his customer service!

One of the worst student housing to live. I got my car hit over here wasn’t any camera to help me … the office didn’t even try to help. They didn’t care even when I told I have the picture of the car and license plate of who hit my car ready for them. Besides that they stay overcharging you and when you try to pay them back it’s a system issue constantly. The gates were installed for no reason because they go out every 2 days and will have you late if you don’t know the gates aren’t working. Let’s not get onto the overcharging part … because this is not student housing for real when you get charged everything! It’s ridiculous! So I don’t recommend living here… you’re better staying on campus or on the streets even better
