Cons: the location is not wonderful. The apartment is nestled away but still on the side of a highway. The area is not safetly walkable. All you hear is highway noise and airport noise. Many break-ins in the time we lived here, and there is a homeless camp on the side of the complex. The gate never works despite constant fixing. A lot of tenants do not seem to care about the property and leave trash piled up at the dumpster, and many people do not pick up their dog's feces. Our heater would crap out every winter, and the other appliances are clearly outdated and cheap. The apartments are okay for the price you pay, but I wouldn't expect anything fancy, even in the upgraded tiers. Pros: management is amazing, specifically Amy. She is reasonable, understanding, friendly and welcoming. We've lived in many apartment complexes and this is by far one of the best managed complexes we've been at. Maintenance is also wonderful, very timely and on top of eveything. Very friendly as well! Overall, not a bad option for Ladson if your looking for a budget-friendly option with standard amenities. If you value good management more than a pretty apartment or a great location, Ashton Woods is a good choice.
