We have had a wonderful experience living in our apartment, however, the parking seems a little suspect. There has been illegal parking in our parking lot and when my wife comes home late from work there isn't a spot for her to park near our building.

        Quiet neighborhood, good location to shopping and 400. Apartment came clean and with everything working properly. Parking can be a hassle at nighttime. Overall, this is a great complex complete with nice, assisting office staff.

          The apartment is great. Convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. I feel very safe. The landscaping is always kept up and looking nice. Parking is sometimes an issue but a farther walk isn't bad. Pool is great! Staff is friendly!

            I love every thing about the place but the parking .I can't never find parking near my apartment I don't think I should pay extra for it ,it should be included with the rent like all the other places . And also pet fee is to high . I really would like to get a puppy but the fee is ridiculously high

                The Columns at Pilgrim Mill is a great place to live. The apartments have an open floor plan so it doesn't feel like an apartment. And I love having my own front porch that seems more like living in a house than an apartment complex.

                  The columns at pilgrim mill is a decent community for the price. Office staff is overall helpful. All maintenance order have been completed in a timely manner. Something needs to be addressed with the parking. My suggestion is assigned parking for each apartment.

                    Staff is friendly and helpful with any questions you might have. Common area spaces are kept neat and clean. Parking can be tricky after 8 o'clock at night on weekdays further back in the complex. Apartments are comfortable.

                      Love my apartment and my patio. The pool is beautiful and big. Laundry is onsite if you don't want to buy a washer and dryer, and there's never anyone there. Pretty inexpensive too. Maintenance/staff are awesome.

                            It has been a wonderful experience. The staff members are friendly and accommodating - a cut above those in other apartments in which I've resided. The amenities, location and convenience to stores and restaurants make The Columns a very desired community.

                                Overpriced compared to single home payments. Also the nickel/dime charges for utilities to be processed.. There are not enough parking places to support the number of apartments hence should be one reservedspot per apartment.

                                          I liked it here but the rent for what your getting is not right , in addition rent increases are not right either, I made one mistake awhile ago and the office staff threatened me way to hard and changed my lease terms right away. the community is ok but some of the neighbors leave garbage on the ground and its embarrassing when you have guests , there are also neighbors with way to many people on there balcony and coming in an out making so much noise you don't want to go outside . I wouldn't mind staying another term but I want to move to another apartment

                                                  This is an older community with limited amenities. Though the staff is attentive and the location is great. The requirement to make this post 200 characters is lame and old school no one is going to read this much text. There made it to 200 characters.
