  For rent that they charge the quality is undeserved. The building just needs to be under better managed by some that cares. Mad roaches and literally mice tried to jump up on the couch and watch tv with me. I'm joking but they trying to jump up on the couch, almost happened twice. They are not afraid to come in from wherever and just stare at you from the floor. My floor was hideous and that was because the families were trifling. Trash, chip bags, half donuts, pieces of hot dog buns in the hallway. Trash room literally smells like outside because people literally put trash in the room until it almost hits the ceilings. Last, I think the people cause these conditions because they are lazy and disgusting and I am just speaking for my floor. Rent is too high for this bad quality.

  I moved to this complex on July 13th, I have only been here for about two weeks and I am already extremely disappointed with management. On Saturday 20th, my boyfriend locked his bike in the bike storage room, on Sunday 21st, when we went downstairs to pick it up, the bike was not there, all that was left was his front wheel chained to the rack. We noticed that there were 4 chained bike wheels left in the rack, so it was a total of 4 bikes missing. I immediately contacted management and authorities, we then proceeded to file a police report. The police officer informed us that this is not the first time she has been called in for theft in the bike storage room at Columbia Uptown. On Sunday, I emailed Saray asking her what my options were and what the building intended to do to make this right, my email was ignored. On Monday, July 22nd, I took a day off from work to deal with this issue in person, when I went to the leasing office I was met with a rude attitude and unwillingness to help from Ayah and Saray, they told me it was my responsibility to lock my bike, as previously mentioned, my boyfriend did indeed lock his bike. Am I supposed to accept that I am out of $650 and that it is my fault? I did not expect them to victim blame us when we reported the theft. I chose to live in Columbia Uptown and pay more than I was paying for at my previous residence because I thought this was a safe environment, but in less than a month it has been proven otherwise. I would think that for the amount of rent we pay, we would receive a better service and be able to feel secure. The bike storage room, laundry services, and gym are all located in the basement which is an enclosed space but still accessible to anyone who is outdoors because of the open doors in the back, which makes it dangerous for everyone, particularly for women. Needing a fob to get in and out of an apartment building does not make it secure when the backdoors are wide open and strangers are able to get in and out as they please. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone who appreciates safety or wants to know their valuables will still be there when they wake up.

  I live in Columbia Uptown Apartments and I have been a good resident- always pay on time, don't make noise, don't smoke, etc. Meanwhile I have had a miserable experience here- mice in 2 different apartments that continue to come back, bike was stolen from storage room while locked, AC doesn't work in over 15 units and they don't have basic replacement parts to repair. It is frustrating to pay so much money for bad service in a place where basic living conditions are unmet.
