Aria Apartments

Kind of out of the way from campus and not worth the money. I plan on moving to a cheaper apartment closer to campus once one opens up. There are a lot of spots to walk my dog, but they haven't built a dog park on the property yet.

Excellent amenities, best you can find in Columbia. Located next to a lake with a walking/running trail, has a full-fledged gym and resort-style pool at the clubhouse. Cannot recommend enough, if you’re willing to pay a little more than the median.

Aria has been super helpful and easy to work with, but they are slow responding to emails. The best way to have a quick response is visiting the office or calling them. We just moved in recently, but I’ve enjoyed the experience so far. There is a gym, dog park, lake with a trail, and more.

As a side note, I would stay away from anything owned by Element. I had planned on being there this year, but they did not provide me with a suitable apartment, and I had to find someone to sublease. They dollared me to death, and it was nearly impossible to talk to anyone about the situation. I have also been told by others that live there that maintenance requests do not get filled.

I have really enjoyed aria. They allow me to have a dog which I love, and have a gym, pool, and walking trail.

The Aria Apartment Complex provides fantastic access to amenities but all in all, is probably not worth the expense when compared to similar apartments at a lower price point. They are next to a bar-restaurant and sponsors social happy hours and similar events. These social opportunities are impactful when you're moving to a new area and do not know anyone, but they are not "worth" the extra 400/ month.

Amenities are great and many perks are offered through the leasing office such as social hours and pet spa days. The only downside is that it is a bit of a drive to campus and utilities/wifi are not included.

Has been good for the most part. Walls/ceilings are pretty thin so I can always hear my neighbors and assume they can hear me.

Just do it. It's expensive but worth it. You will have no problems. They are great.
