What others love about this property:
Don't live here
They never fix anything and take forever. They cover it up a handing out food every other week
Luxury Student Living ™
Thin walls, temperamental appliances, a parking structure that relentlessly deposits insulation dust on cars, and nasty tap water mar an expensive apartment experience. Location and parking are top notch though.
Empire is not worth the squeeze
Management is terrible and the cost of rent is way too high. Amenities are a joke!
Empire, Columbia is basically stealing from residents
There is nothing good to be said about the building. Residents pay well above average rent for the many amenities the building claims to offer, yet they are rarely, if ever, available. Maintenance requests for repairs can take anywhere from one to six months (half a leasing cycle), and it is clear the staff and management do not care whatsoever about the state of the building. The hallways, stairwells, and elevators are never cleaned and often smells of unspeakable disgust. Any complaint is met with a generic excuse and management refuses to provide tenants with timelines for amenities opening. Empire is without a doubt the worst apartment building in Columbia, SC, and it is even worse when the rent price is factored in.
