Summit Place, charleston-sc

I moved into Summit Place this August, and honestly it's been a great experience so far. The move-in process was smooth, the staff were super helpful, and my apartment was clean and ready when I arrived. As a student, having a comfortable place to come home to after classes is huge, and Summit Place has definitely delivered. The location is really convenient, and it's easy to get to campus, grab food, or run errands without going far. I've also met a lot of friendly people here already, which made adjusting to a new semester a lot easier. Overall, Summit Place has been everything I was looking for in student housing. The community feels welcoming, the amenities are nice, and it already feels like home. I would definitely recommend it to other students looking for a great place to live.

I’ve had a really positive experience living at Summit on Meeting. The location is great, the amenities are well maintained, and the staff has always been friendly and responsive whenever I’ve needed help. One person who has really stood out is Carter. He has been professional, approachable, and genuinely willing to help whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s clear that he cares about residents and wants to make sure they have a good experience. Overall, I’ve enjoyed living here and would recommend Summit on Meeting to anyone looking for a convenient place to live in Charleston with a supportive leasing team.

I’ve lived at Summit Place for 2 years now (4 bed and studio). I’ve had very little issue with anything throughout my stay. The staff has always been present and helpful, especially Kathryn and Carter. Overall, I’d recommend this property to anyone who asks for a spot downtown. I thoroughly enjoyed my time living here.

I pay $200 EVERY MONTH for a reserved parking space, yet I cannot even count how many times I have come home to find some random person parked in the spot that I PAY FOR. When this happens, I am left scrambling to find somewhere else to park, including potentially having to park on the street and risk my own car being towed\. At one point, I finally had enough and had a vehicle towed after it sat in my paid spot for hours.I should not have to repeatedly deal with this when I am paying an additional $200 a month specifically so that I HAVE A PARKING SPACE. To make matters worse, the leasing office has rarely been helpful with this problem. I will give credit where it is due: there was one occasion when they helped me have a vehicle removed from my space.However, there have been far too many other instances where I was left to deal with the problem myself.This has caused actual consequences in my life. I have been late to work, late to class, missed important academic obligations, and had my schedule completely disrupted because someone parked in or blocked the spot I pay for.At this point, I genuinely believe residents should be compensated for the parking fees they pay during periods when management fails to ensure those reserved spaces are actually available to them.What exactly am I paying $200 a month for otherwise? The condition of the property is another issue. There is frequently trash in the hallways, study rooms, and other common areas. The building access system is also incredibly frustrating.The key fobs do not work properly half the time, and there have been countless times when I have had to stand there holding the fob against the scanner while also holding the door button just to get inside.Try doing that while carrying an armful of groceries.It sounds like a small inconvenience until you have to deal with it constantly. Maintenance has also been frustrating.Requests can take forever to be addressed. Our washing machine was broken for approximately THREE WEEKS while we waited for a part. I ended up having to go to a laundromat. Eventually, management did give us access to an empty unit so we could use the washing machine there, which I appreciated, but it took time to get to that solution and never should have dragged on for as long as it did. Things inside the apartments also seem to break far too easily. When I am paying around *$1,500 a month. I also have concerns about building security.The parking garage gate is regularly left wide open, which completely defeats the purpose of having a controlled-access garage. I have personally seen a group of random kids get into the building and hang around downstairs. They were not threatening, but that is beside the point. If they could get inside that easily, who else can? Residents should not have to wonder who is wandering around a building that is supposed to have controlled . If you do not have a car, maybe this apartment will not frustrate you as much, But if you are considering living here and paying extra for reserved parking, *seriously think twice. Paying $200 every month for a parking space that other people repeatedly take while you are left figuring out where to put your own car is absolutely ridiculousz I have tried to be fair in this review and acknowledge the occasions when management did provide a solution, but those isolated instances do not make up for the overall experience. For what residents are charged to live here, they should not have to fight this hard for basic things like access to the parking space they pay for, functioning building access, timely maintenance, clean common areas, secure packages, and a properly secured building. ( I will say the girls in the leasing office are very sweet and kind sometimes these things are out of their control.) Overall, I would not choose to live here again. Or recommend it to anyone

I really loved my time at Summit Place. Every staff member was extremely helpful and kind. The amenities are top tier and my experience was nothing short of awesome. Would recommend Summit apartments for anyone in the area looking for housing.
