Cambridge @ Southern - The Palms, statesboro-ga

I really enjoy living at Cambridge at Southern! The apartments are nice, the location is super convenient for getting to campus, and the community is pretty quiet and comfortable. The staff has always been friendly and helpful whenever I’ve needed anything. Overall, I’ve had a really good experience living here and would definitely recommend it to other students!

Zero stars and that's being generous! This is, without exaggeration, one of the worst places you could ever choose to live. Cambridge at Southern, if you're reading this, stop replying to people's comments here when you know exactly what you're doing. This organization operates like a cult, and your so-called "representatives" are part of the problem. The staff at the front desk are unwelcoming, dismissive, and frankly do nothing to help. They are rude and unprofessional and no matter how "affordable" a place claims to be, every single resident still deserves basic respect. That's not too much to ask. These people do not keep their word. They will confirm something with you directly and then turn around and go back on it. Be prepared to have your lease pulled out from under you simply because they feel like it, with zero accountability on their end. My son went through his own ordeal with this place. Do not live here. Under any circumstances. It is not worth your money, your time, or your peace of mind. Save yourself the headache and find a place that actually treats its residents like human beings, because this is not a business. It's a scam!!!!! A very cheap one.

I’ve been here for a couple months and it’s nice. It’s a step up for me with being able to get a 1 bed 1 bath and not deal with roommates. The gates and security is a nice touch, makes it feel like they actually care for residents. Also the workers in the office are always polite and helpful when I have to text or call with questions or issues. There were some things I wasn’t expecting to be issues with the price of my unit but honestly it could be worse.

I’ve really enjoyed my time at Cambridge at Southern so far! I live in a two bedroom apartment. The community is welcoming, the staffs are super helpful, and the location is perfect for student life as the campus bus is available from the this location and nearest distance to GSU campus. It’s been a great place to live, and I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and convenient living experience near campus.Most importantly, it's furnished and the rent comes with utilities, so no worry about extra utility bill. Overall, it is a really nice place where you can call it home.

Long, honest review: If I could give this apartment complex a ZERO, I would. My friends and I lived here for about 4 years, renewing our leases multiple times while we went to school because of its cheap price and close location to campus. We are finally graduated and out. This apartment complex is dirty, not maintained, and unprofessional. It is extremely cheap rent, with utilities included and you WILL feel the effects of that cheapness! There were so many instances of random problems created on the staff end and maintenance issues. They would mistakenly charge us for random things. Because my roommate's cat (who was registered) was in my room, they charged ME for an unregistered animal like they couldn't use their eyes and look to see ONE cat in the entire apartment. They charged us for damages (due to the furniture being a VERY cheap pleather material that ripped through normal use), then would not repair or replace ANY of it, then charge AGAIN the next lease renewal. They would charge for carpet damage, then NOT use the damage cost to repair it at all. They disregarded ANY concern for mold and blamed us. The apartment randomly got roaches, they did nothing at all and we had to hire our own exterminator services. The washer and dryer were barely functional, requiring multiple runs to dry clothes EVERY SINGLE TIME. After a deadly shooting in the parking lot, they built a fence that malfunctions consistently and has hit several people's cars. They gave up finally and just leave it open. I was once randomly locked into the pool area after they locked the gates and the office doors at 5PM, so I had to climb over the fence, despite it still being daylight and the pool not closing until sunset?????? The list of random ridiculousness goes on and on.... I could believe that the maintenance guys and front desk staff are just trying their best, but the owners / management company are obviously happy with just letting their residents live in what is essentially a slum while they take in the rent. PLEASE SEE THE MOLD PICTURE THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT and BLAMED US FOR. The complete disregard for health is the most egregious part, definitely should have called the Health Department. The ONLY benefit of the complex was the University Bus Stop that was at the road, but OH BOY THEY GOT RID OF THAT TOO! Save yourself the stress and likely health problems and just do NOT live here! Thanks!
