Rivers Edge at Carolina Stadium, columbia-sc

I absolutely love living here! The floor plans are super spacious and honestly have more space than I know what to do with. The community is well-maintained, and the staff really make this place feel welcoming. The leasing manager has been amazing throughout my time here. Whenever I've had questions or concerns, she's always been responsive, sweet, and willing to help. I really appreciate that she gave me a space to share my concerns and made me feel heard, which isn't something you find everywhere. Overall, I've had a great experience living here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious apartment and a friendly, supportive staff!

Rivers Edge Complex is the worst apartment complex in all of Columbia. I have lived here for 3 years now and every year they continue to do the most scummy-things possible. First of all, when I moved into my apartment in August, it was absolutely disgusting. There were corners full of dirt and dust, with dead bugs and random small pieces of trash left in the unit. Fast forward to this Summer, and all of a sudden Rivers Edge has implemented cleaning fines for unclean units. Clearly trying to do anything they can to squeeze every penny from a tenant. They also have implemented this third-party electric estimate, in which the electric company guesstimates how much you'll pay for your electric and then charge you that for your final month, seems normal right? Well, the estimate is actually 2.5x more than any other electric bill you've paid the entirety of being there, and when you call the electric company, they can't provide you with any details of how your bill is that much more. Another way the complex tries to scam their tenants. Finally, my lease technically ends this week, but most people's ended last Friday. So, after moving many of my items to my new place, I decided to do a load of laundry, so that I could pick it up the next day. Despite the complex calling me last week and confirming that my lease doesn't end until next week, the complex sent in employees, emptied my dryer and threw all of my bedding away. The staff is wildly incompetent, and the parent company continues to hire random one-off managers to come in and force additional fees on residents and then blame and fire the manager a few months later when rooms aren't full. I would only ever deal with one employee for all of my issues (Brian) because everyone else truly didn't care. I can't go on enough about how bad this complex is and how they'll try to steal every penny they can from you. I will never recommend to anyone to stay here; no number of paid-Google ads should convince you.

Lived here for 3 years. It was a pretty good experience but not flawless. My closet got flooded with water multiple times, and maintenance requests would take forever to be fulfilled (took 3 MONTHS to get a new dishwasher). The location next to the park and the reliable shuttle is a plus. The staff was also nice to me the majority of the time. The clubhouse and pool is nice, gym is lackluster for anything besides walking on the one treadmill that actually operates. However I must say the towing policy is absolutely ridiculous. My friends car was parked here for 15 MINUTES and got towed 30 minutes away to a super sketchy lot that ONLY ACCEPTED CASH, $350. I get you want to prevent non-residents from parking, but forcing ppl to do that when the lot was completely empty is just nefarious. But besides that, I think it’s good for the value you’re paying. If I were to live in Columbia again, I would probably live here again.

DO NOT LIVE HERE DO NOT LIVE HERE DO NOT LIVE HERE TLDR: Negligence, roommate issues coupled with lack of cooperation from management, incompetent management in general, gross apartments upon move in The only person in the lease office I like is Brian, hes a real one. I have been living here since February 2025 and have had soooooooo many issues so ill list them. 1) The first apartment me and my girlfriend moved into was a three bedroom to save money. The third unit was occupied by another couple which was not told to us before moving in. Issues with them is a whole story but the management knew the 4th person was not supposed to be there and was there illegally. They refused to evict or kick him out. Also he would beat his girlfriend and the entire maintenance staff and front office staff knew this. But they still moved me and my girlfriend into the unit anyways. 2) We were promised a refferal bonus when moving in. It took countless phone calls, bad reviews, emails with management and corporate, and about 4 months to get this refferal. 3) I was charged for "Rent plus" which is a credit reporting agency for rent. I opted out ($10 fee) but was still charged every month. I went in person to have it removed 6 months in a row and even still never fixed it so I gave up. 4) When we moved into our second unit they charged a 300$ transfer fee to get out of the situation with the other unit. The new unit was dirty and clearly not cleaned or fixed before we moved in. Holes in the walls/cabinets, dirt, dust, bugs, etc 5) As many people have mentioned here, we also have water damage in our apartment. Our bedroom floors have entirely flooded 4 times.....The roof/walls in the living room are wet/moldy. The dishwasher leaked for months and had black mold on the walls around the dishwasher. I have put in multiple work orders and they say they "fixed" it. But all they did was dry it, but not fix the root cause. I would just be worried there is underlying mold in a lot of the units due to negligence. 6) Our AC went out last summer at the peak of the heat. Our thermostat was regularly 80-85+. It took a week to get a window unit and AC still didnt work 3 weeks later until we moved out. Save your time, money, and stress for somewhere else.
