December 16, 2024Most aspects of the merchant are severely lacking. Angela is awesome, Mike and the new maintenance guy are great, but pretty much everything else we’ve experienced since moving in in April has been below our expectations.Property Manager Responded

November 26, 2024Spacious apartments for a fair price and a location that is convenient to downtown. Great amenities, but poor sense of community. Apartments are a bit dated and mold has been a recurring issue for myself and my friends apartments. But overall good value for the price!Property Manager Responded

September 6, 2024I've had a great experience at The Merchant. You are paying for close proximity to all the best features Charleston has to offer. The pool gets great sun. The gym has what's needed to stay healthy, and I've never seen it get overcrowded. The Yoga room is cool too. Plus it's very dog friendly, which enhances the energy.Review from Apartments.com

February 1, 2024I’m very satisfied with the apartment however, there are some things that need to be fixed in the community. 1. The outlets in my apartment are not working. We told the front office but nothing has been done yet. 2. The pool has a leak in it and I keep being told it’s gonna be fixed. I’ve not seen anything done or any working done on it. 3. The gate to the lock has been broken for about a week and a half now has not been fixed yet. I’ve been wondering why. 4. Building three on the front built ...door is not showing up all the way and at night I find it to be unlocked and unsecure. 5. There is no clear time when the trash comes pick picks up I’m confused and what time they pick up would like to know. Thank you. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the community and the apartments beautiful. Love living at the merchant I just want some clarification on these things and also these things to be fixed. Thank you.Property Manager Responded
March 14, 2024Hi - I'm so sorry to hear your experience didn't meet your expectations (or our standards), and one of us will get in touch directly to see what we can do to make it right.

Verified Tenant for 1 Year: DO NOT RENT FROM THEM
July 11, 2023It's my hope that folks who want to rent here will see my feedback and be able to make a more informed decision about where they choose to live. I'll detail my experience in chronological order. Moving Day: When we moved in (my wife and I), there were really no guidelines whatsoever. It was like management didn't care at all about anything; this would serve as a foreboding. The apartment smelled stale and like it hadn't been cleaned. There were huge scratches on the floor and it looked dirty and ...like no one had worked to prepare the apartment for our move in. Time Served: I was excited to use the amenities at our "Full Service" apartment complex, but throughout my time here my patience and expectations plummeted. At no point during my tenure here was I able to consistently use the poolside grills. At first they were broken, then the management office just refused to continue buying propane. Then they broke again, and that's when I pretty much gave up using it. Maintenance issues plagued us throughout the term of our contract. At one point our AC was out a whole week in the hot Charleston summer. The staff maintenance guy changed about 3-4 times while we were there, and none of them were very effective. Our bedroom door pretty much hung half affixed to the door frame for the entire time we were there, this was attempted to be fixed several times and to no avail. Our washing machine never really worked right, and while we tried to have it fixed they never were serious about addressing our issue. Small things add up over time, and I could go on and on but ultimately the management group had no interest in maintaining their assets or providing any kind of upkeep whatsoever. Time and time again, I would see things break and just sit there broken not only in our apartment but in the common areas as well. This is a sign of "Bad Ownership". Moving Out: The day has come! My expectations are low, and I don't envy the folks taking my spot. Good luck and good riddance Merchant Apartments!!! Have fun with Grey Star, they are not a model for success by any standards and have been incredibly useless.Property Manager Responded

Unsafe
March 30, 2023Multiple car jackings a week. Gate 'guarding' cars is open to the public. Can walk right in. 3rd party security team does absolutely nothing. Had a call with real estate investment rep and she told me if I really felt unsafe to dial 9-1-1. Incredibly condescending. Pretty place if you want to deal with shootings, lack of cops, carjackings, breakins, etc. I had recommended this place to multiple friends who were moving here in droves because of job transfer. We will all be moving out, some of us ...early. Not worth your windows smashed.Property Manager Responded

Not recommended at all
January 7, 2023$300 admin fees but no cooperation by admin. First, they sent a lease for the one bedroom apartment you liked. When they take $300 and you sign, they say it is not available. They said no other one bedroom apartment is available. We had to take a 2 bedroom unit for about $1000 more. When you arrive the employee named Daisy, won’t treat you in a pleasant way. When we moved in, water smells sulphuric. There is not hot water in apartment. Plus, the elevator is not working. It’s just fancy ...interiors but even basic things are not maintained! Extremely bad experience!Property Manager Responded
