    The best place to live in downtown Columbus, close enough to walk to everything but also far enough to feel like the suburbs. The staff are wonderful! The gym is the best for an apartment complex. Parking easy and not a pain.

    So far everything has been great. The staff and office have been great; however, there is a train track that js almost on property that has trains running at random schedules. We were told that they run sparingly and only during the day…well, during our frist night, we learned otherwise.

    The staff has been amazing to work with since the day I inquired about the property. Alex was a dream and did everything she could to make my desire to live here a reality. The maintenance staff, mainly Joseph, is amazing, prompt, and skilled. I have been very happy with my choice to live here and am making a home here.

    Yes the apartments are very beautiful and I would like to know a little bit more about them and is there an application fee because I do not have dogs or cat so that's why I was going ahead but it's a quiet neighborhood I know some people that used to live there but didn't even got to stay and my brother used to live up off of hard road so I will give this excellent thought and I would just like to know when I can be able to check them out again

    I lived here at Springburne in the early nineties for 4 years then bought a home. I had to move due to health reasons, as I needed a one floor plan. I thought about checking with Sprinburne since I had liked living here and needed some time before I decided on what to purchase. I have lived here for three years now and I'm not sure that I want to leave. It is so convenient, livable, clean, quiet, and the staff is exceptional. I would highly recommend looking at Springburne of Polaris if you are looking for a nice place to live.

I'm so appreciative of everyone here and am very thankful we've had three wonderful years at Runaway Bay.
