GEORGE S.

I love it! With it being my first apartment and me being on my own, the staff here have been very outstanding.

TANISHA T.
Swallowtail Flats

I recently moved to Columbus, GA and had the luck to be referred to Old Town. The customer service team and the overall property has been amazing. Recently, I was away on a trip and my mom; who’s older and recently fell, and I was able to call and ask them to check in on her. Noah is always customer service forward and welcoming – along with the rest of the team as well but this gesture was appreciated. I’m happy with my decision to pick Old Town.

ARLESKA C.

SAVANNAH K.

This is my second semester living at Creekside and I love it. The distance is far enough from campus, that you feel like you are away from school and come home to a nice area. The staff is wonderful and want to help in any way possible. They put on great events for the residence to attend. Lots of fun things to do!!

LAUREN B.

My daughter & I love calling this place our home; she says she never wants to leave! She loves the open backyards she can play in & the playground.
