Reviews

The atmosphere of the neighborhood is friendly and inviting. Everyday living is pleasant because everything is tidy, well-organized, and well-maintained.

I have lived at 42 Magnolia for over a year. In my year here, management has changed, and to say the transition has been rough is an understatement. The management is unresponsive to inquiries, regardless of the avenue (Phone, Residence Portal, or E ...

The internet has been down for three days, and we still have no idea when service will be restored. To make matters worse, this is already the second service interruption we’ve experienced this year. After contacting the provider, I was told th ...

Drove 45 minutes for my scheduled tour just for no one to answer the phone or be in office. Very unprofessional.

The transition to AMC has been rough, and I can personally co-sign every negative review this property has received recently. Things were bad and, unfortunately, they're still heading in the wrong direction. The lack of adequate management and staffi ...

Update: Unfortunately, I must update my review to a not so good one. Still more hiccups not too long after the initial review was left. It cannot be this difficult to communicate, I do not care how many changes there are in management. Except for Sha ...

Shay is the absolute best! She came through in a clutch during some hiccups in the process! Can’t thank her enough!

This is one of the best places to live in! The apartments here are modern and spacious, and everything is so well-planned. I have never had any problems after coming here. The people here are always very kind and helpful. It is safe and friendly, and makes you feel right at home.

WARNING: DO NOT LIVE HERE What have y’all turned this place into? This used to be the premier apartment complex in Forest Acres. Now you have a resident getting arrested because they fired a gun shot in the parking lot after a bunch of people ...

It would be easy for me to give this a perfect five-star rating due to the excellent quality of the staff members here. I have been living in 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest for one year already, and even though the building itself looks great, it is the p ...

It has been approximately 6 months since I moved out, and I have still not received my security deposit. Despite repeated attempts to contact the property management, I have received no response, explanation, or timeline regarding the return of my de ...

Life in this building has been quite pleasant, especially because of the people in the office. This place is nice and clean, but the warmth and professionalism of the staff members take things to another level. Koral assisted me during my struggle to ...

I have been here for more than one year now, and I must say that it is the staff that makes 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest Apartments unique. The units are great, but the staff goes the extra mile to ensure that all tenants are happy. They are always welc ...

Impossible to get in contact with the right person when you need it. We have a leak in our apartment right now and emergency number does not work neither is there an emergency number listed on the lease.

Fantastic service and beautiful properties. The team was proactive and kept everything moving smoothly. I never felt left in the dark about anything. The apartment itself is stylish and comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone searching for a new place.

The entire process felt seamless. Quick email replies, friendly staff, and a straightforward application process made everything simple. The apartments are attractive and well maintained. I’m very happy with my choice.

This rental agency truly cares about its residents. They were responsive, transparent, and very professional. The apartment I chose was clean and move-in ready. Communication was excellent from beginning to end.

It’s been a pleasure living here! Everyone is understanding and makes living here feel like home!

Smooth and hassle-free experience. The team answered all my questions patiently and provided clear instructions for every step. The property is well kept, and the units are modern and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for better service.

I was impressed by how organized and helpful the staff was throughout the process. They made scheduling a tour easy and followed up promptly. The apartments are spacious and beautifully designed. Definitely a five-star experience.

Excellent customer service! From my first inquiry to signing the lease, everything was handled efficiently. Communication was prompt and clear, and the apartment exceeded my expectations. It’s refreshing to work with such a professional team.

The leasing process was incredibly simple and stress-free. The team kept me informed every step of the way and responded quickly whenever I reached out. The units are clean, stylish, and exactly as described. Very satisfied with my experience.

Went up there today around 2:30-2:45 and absolutely no one was up there. The door was open and no sign was published me and two other people walked in and no one was there. I decided to go up there because no one ever answers the phone at all. I was ...

Shay showed me all appartements I wanted to see and it was great and friendly.

Great experience overall! The staff was professional, friendly, and always available to answer my questions. The apartments are well maintained and very modern. I really appreciated how fast they handled paperwork and move-in details. Highly recommend.

The turnaround has been remarkable. There’s a clear effort to improve both the living conditions and the resident experience. Staff are approachable and quick to act, especially when it comes to maintenance. The community feels more organized, safer, and more comfortable. I’m genuinely happy with how things are running now.

I’ve noticed a huge improvement in how everything is managed. Staff are attentive, proactive, and actually follow through. Maintenance requests that once felt impossible are now resolved promptly, which has made daily life much less stressful. T ...

There’s not a square inch of this place that isn’t covered by dog feces. It’s atrocious and a health hazard. Don’t even enjoy walking my dog anymore because I don’t want him going on the grass where there’s months upon m ...

I sent in a request to tour this place close to a month ago. It took them weeks to even respond to my request and they called me. I was busy at the time, so they left a voicemail informing me to call back if I was still interested. I called back 3 ti ...

The management team here is a complete joke! Stay far away and don’t live here. They have no respect for their residents who spend thousands of dollars to live here. First they blame “upper management” for not sending out renewal let ...

The management change at 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest has made a huge difference. Staff are proactive, attentive, and handle maintenance requests immediately. A repair that had been pending for months was fixed within hours, which completely blew me awa ...

Update part two: Clearly they dont care about their unprofessionalism. The aggressive messages continue. Update: To make matters even worse, theyre incredibly aggressive with the language used in alerts, of legitimate concerns. No elevator for two m ...

The management team is joke, they NEVER let you up!

There really aren’t enough words to describe how awful the management is here. I moved in back in September when the complex was with Greystar and it was great. The new company, however, is terrible. When the management company transitioned, th ...

Avoid moving here. Management is absent, even with new management. They have overcharged me months upon months racking up so much money for utility bills. No one, even regional manager, replies to emails. Elevator has been broken for nearly a month a ...

Be very careful with the management at this property. I will say the maintenance team is wonderful and the property is very nice and quiet for the most part. They are working to do updates on outdated units and have routine landscaping of the propert ...

The staff here is amazing! They make the whole complex feel like home.

The management here is really bad at their jobs. They come off as nice and put together when you first sign the lease but they trick you into racking up fees and make you pay the fees. My husband and I have talked to different people each time we've ...

Fantastic apartment complex with modern amenities and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.

Living here has been wonderful. The community is peaceful, modern, and always well-maintained.

I truly feel at home here! The apartment complex is clean, safe, and full of friendly neighbors. Every day feels comfortable and welcoming—it's the perfect place to live.

Love how professional and organized this apartment rental agency is. The team is always helpful and reliable.

This apartment rental agency truly cares about residents’ comfort. Safe, quiet, and modern spaces to call home.

I had an amazing experience with this apartment rental agency! Quick responses, great communication, and beautiful apartments.

My family and I moved in a little over a month ago and have had the easiest experience! The units are quiet and spacious. Our neighbors have all been so friendly and made us feel right at home. The leasing office staff has been very helpful and made move-in day super easy! Plus, you can't beat the location.

The apartment rental agency keeps everything spotless and well-maintained. Great location and comfortable living!

So impressed with this apartment rental agency—smooth application process and friendly, attentive staff.

I’ve been having the weirdest experience with this rental. Scheduled an appointment, no one was there on the time and I saw several people try to go into the leasing office. Before I showed up for my appointment I called several times and the ca ...

It seems that after you’re no longer a resident here, communication is like dental surgery. I’ve been trying to get in contact with the leasing office for the last few days because a relative of mine sent a birthday package for my daughter ...

This apartment rental agency really stands out for its service and quality. The apartments are gorgeous, and the staff goes above and beyond for residents.

This review was supposed to be 1 star for the old management. We had an awful experience with them, we asked for urgent maintenance and got no response. But today, after meeting the new staff, the experience was completely different! They responded ...

The apartment rental agency was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Great communication, easy application process, and beautiful apartments in a great location.

This apartment rental agency offers excellent customer service and quality living spaces. Everything was clean, modern, and move-in ready. Couldn’t be happier!

I’m so happy with my new home! The apartment rental agency was super professional and always quick to answer my questions. The whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

This apartment rental agency made my move stress-free! The whole process was smooth, they kept me updated every step of the way, and the apartments are modern, clean, and beautiful. Couldn’t be happier with my new place!

Getting the grounds and property back to it's glory days!! The pine straw and flowers are coming along nicely!

I have been calling and emailing in an effort to get the ball rolling with a tour and possible application, but no one answers calls or emails.

UPDATE: all these people saying this new management team is great are fake accounts by the new management team. The person that is running the property is the same person that was running the property under the old management company. This place is a ...

DO NOT LIVE HERE! Management is terrible. Someone has been sleeping in the lobby of the building for multiple nights and management has been notified on multiple occasions but nothing has been done! There is ramped drug usage around the complex and m ...

This is hands down the worst property management I've ever dealt with. They don't disclose any issues before you move in, and once you're here, don't expect clear communication or timely repairs. Even when broken equipment makes loud noises all night ...

Running down. Owner refuses to maintain property

I absolutely love 42 Magnolia and the wonderful staff such as Jamal. Jamal is outstanding, kind, patient and warm. He always fixes my needs immediately and answers my questions so well. I am so glad he is our manager and is willing to help in any way he can. Love Jamal!!!

Malaya Somers has been extremely helpful in moving into my new apartment. She is so very nice, sweet and funny but at the same time very efficient, organized, and helpful. She made the business part of my move so easy. She helped me every step of t ...

I went there in 2023. My daughter was the assistant Community Manager. She has since transferred to Jacksonville Florida with the company as a Community Manager. But this property is great!! The property was clean, cappuccino bar, grilling stations, quiet area, really nice. I would definitely recommend living there! 🤩

Okay location but way to expensive

Pretty looking apartment complex

Jemal is the best! He takes his time to understand the residents and their issues here. He truly is a great example of a Greystar employee. Give him a raise!

Coris is amazing. He needs a raise. If you have issues request Coris.

Great customer service! Fixed multiple things that needed to be done. Kept good conversation as well!

UPDATE AFTER RESPONSE: The carpet replacement fee was not the issue. I have no problem paying for bills that I owe. The issue was that you charged us a $1,500 reletting fee as well as for rent for AFTER the move out date. In fact, my wife was on her ...

management team and the maintenance team.

I have literally been trying to give this apartment complex my money for a week now, calling and emailing repeatedly to get more information about a unit that I'm interested in, and absolutely no one ever answers the phone, calls back, or responds to ...

Was picking up a friend, Convenient location to town and the interstate. But I've heard they're RAISING Rent price$

I had a great experience at 42 Magnolia. Koral made everything simple, easy, and made the transition seamless. The pool and amenities were just what we needed. The other residents are friendly and it was easy to make friends in the complex. From Day one, Koral and her team were accessible, professional, and created a great living experience. .

I have lived here for about 3 years now and my experience with this community has been nothing but a positive experience for me. After having questions and concerns about my living experience, Koral has been nothing but kind and professional to me to ...

I would like to thank Tyra for being very professional and helpful as I was inquiring about moving to the area. She also was very encouraging to come tour the property, and I'm making preparations to see the property in person. She answered all the q ...

Great property with great management team.

Tyra Got me right from the tour process all the way to signing the lease. Definitely would recommend

While I was looking for an apartment, Koral was very helpful and knowledgeable of the property and the surrounding area. 42 Magnolia is beautiful and the staff were very pleasant.

One of the best communities I've been to in a while the office staff is amazing Koral the assistant manager was so friendly and helped me with all my concerns

I have lived at 42 Magnolia for almost 3 years. I choose to live in a garden style apartment because I feel that they have more character than newer constructions.The rental staff is pleasant and professional and I feel that maintenance does it’s best to maintain the property.

Just toured with Tyra today, who was so unbelievably helpful during the entire process. Showed me everything around the apartment and the entire 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest community that I was hoping to see, to make a confident and informed decision. I just submitted my application to management and am now hoping to become a future resident!

Koral recently helped me with renewing my elderly mother’s lease at 42 Magnolia. Her service was exceptional and she made doing some difficult very easy! I can’t thank her enough for guiding me through the process. Koral is great! I HIGHLY recommend her!!

I've lived at 5000 for 6 months now and I've enjoyed every moment of it. From the first apartment showing, to the move-in process, I've felt supported every step. Moving from Atlanta, I've had my fair share of "apartment nightmares." Since moving to ...

Having lived here 3+ years, I can say that overall this is still one of the best places to live in the Columbia area. The current management company, Greystar, has been with us for almost 2 years and has been mostly effective in solving the issues th ...

I have lived here a year now. While the experience might have earned a 3.5 or 4 star review, the office team is what makes 42 Magnolia the best place I've rented over the years, bumping this review up to five stars. They will go out of their way to h ...

I moved in a year ago and have recently renewed my lease for another year. Koral has helped me tremendously from the very beginning and has gone above and beyond to assist me with anything that has come up during my time here. There will always be p ...

Koral is the best! She made our move easy and was so helpful. We love the 42 Magnolia 5000 Forest community!

I originally planned to move out here in December of this year. I came to do a tour on 11/9/23. It took 2 weeks to even get someone on the phone to even schedule the tour. However, the one bedrooms was $1,449 over the phone, and when I got in person, ...

Michelle is a great and wonderful property manager and for us at CCS to come out and do the dryer vents for your property was well provided by the excellent maintenance staff lead by Chrois. We had a pleasure and wonderful experience with the management team and the maintenance team.
