The Reserve at Clemson, central-sc

Not worth it. I lived at The Reserve at Clemson for 3.5 years. My roommates and I chose it because at the time it was the cheapest option near campus. Maintenance was great, parking was abundant, cute amenities, everything else was unfavorable. Each year they raised our monthly rate higher without making any improvements to our unit. We started out paying $408/month and now rent is upwards of $500/month for the same unit. We would have been better off moving somewhere for similar price to have our own bathrooms. Now after we have moved out the problems are really rolling in. I graduated in December and tried to find someone to sublease my apartment for the remainder of my lease, but no one wants to pay that much to share their bathroom. So I’ve been paying rent each month since returning my keys, which I just accepted that for what it is. A few days after I returned my keys, I got an email with my final move-out statement and a sentence saying an inspection had been completed and no charges were listed. Except six months later, the remaining roommates have returned their keys early, and now the damage fees are coming in. None of us were notified of the multiple unsatisfactory inspections, which is especially frustrating since I’d received a move-out statement indicating no damage charges in December. They waited until we surrendered access to the space to charge us all a hefty fee to replace a refrigerator with a little expo marker residue and claiming they couldn’t clean it and had given my remaining roommates the chance to clean it after I moved out. None of us were given any notification of the potential damage charge. Now, since my lease term has not ended, I have been pleading with them to provide us with brief access to the space to remove the expo marker from the refrigerator. They told us over email they prefer not to replace a fully functional refrigerator, but so far have refused to let me re-enter the unit that I am still paying for to clean the expo marker off. They just want to profit off of young people to fill their pockets, otherwise they would’ve notified us as soon as they saw the expo marker. I will be happy to update my review upon response from the general manager regarding my request to re-enter the unit to remove the expo marker off the refrigerator to avoid fees for cleaning, damages, replacement etc.

My good friend lived in these apartments not too long ago and when I first visited, I was shocked that they were fully furnished and were so spacious. The units themselves are really clean and well-maintained, and the grounds themselves are too! Thanks goes out to the facilities manager for the hard work he puts in to maintain the buildings and keep them in great shape! I’ve known him for many years and his work ethic, ability to fix anything, and his eagerness to help makes him an indispensable addition to any company.

I love living at The Reserve at Clemson! The rent is very affordable, and all apartments already come furnished. I love all of the amenities (especially the pools and game room), and the clubhouse has great study spots. The community is very clean and well-kept, and all of the staff is kind and helpful. I recommend The Reserve at Clemson as an affordable, clean, and comfortable place to live!

I’ve absolutely loved living at The Reserve at Clemson! The community is clean, quiet, and really well-maintained. The staff is super friendly and always quick to help with any questions or maintenance requests — they genuinely care about the residents. The amenities are a huge plus, especially the pool and gym, which are always in great shape. My apartment is spacious and comfortable, and it truly feels like home. The location is perfect too — close to campus and local spots, but still peaceful. Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better place to live. Definitely a 5-star experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Reserve at Clemson apartment complex is a disaster. You may not pick from the stomping above or running up and down the stairs neighbors at the not convenient after hours. You may expect your neighbor doing laundry at midnight and sit outside and smoke at the balcony and talk on the phone at 3 am. Animals are welcome, but noone cares if those animals encroments are around the ground. Garbage is outflow and it's up to you if you schedule for clean up, and pesticide service is up to your schedule as well, because it is not regulated by the complex unless your needs. Front office is very defensive in person. But they sent out a nice survey messages occasionally.
