The Apartments at Tamar Meadow

The complex is small and quiet. The apartment is nice has fireplace and laundry in unit which is amazing. The appliance could use a update they are energy efficient however not stainless steel. Would love more storage space in the kitchen and the entire the apartment.

It a great place to call home. The staffs always greet you with a smile and are very helpful to our needs, and are quick to attend to any problems that arise. The grounds and facilities are kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. The workouts room are open 24/7 are rarely crowded and the pool area is great. I’m closet to work, movie theaters, malls and major highways to Washington DC. Beautiful neighborhood with park and trails

These apartments are pretty nice. They are located in the center of Columbia - a 10-15 minute drive to any shopping center in the area. There are a lot of shopping centers near these apartments as well as Columbia Mall. Public transportation stops are right outside of the complex and I-29, I-95 and I-100 are very close. The complex is clean and quiet. There is a pool, a small fitness room and a nice main office. The maintenance crew is super friendly and knowledgeable. The buildings do not have elevators - important to note if you need one - but the flights of stairs are short. There is covered parking available for a fee as well as extra storage space outside of your apartment. Parking is super easy since neither you nor your guests need a permit. And there is always parking available. The apartment itself is good. We have an open layout that is very nice and allows for good entertaining. The apartment comes with a washer and dryer, a must for us, which comes with a shelve in the area that is great for laundry soap and extra storage. The appliances worked ok, sometimes we had to put in service requests, which were quickly addressed. The bedrooms and closets are super spacious and so is the balcony which come with a storage closet. The kitchen has a little breakfast counter and plenty of cabinet space. Overall, it's a great community if you want to be in a nice apartment in a nice area, with easy access to main highways, shopping centers and public transportation.Read More

It was decent when we moved in, back in 2010, but has gone continually downhill. They raise the rent $70-100 every time you renew, and even for new people, the rent is way more than this place is worth. They were bought by another company last winter, and things have gotten even worse since then. Maintenance never fixes anything properly, they just bandaid any problem they run into-- so it's no surprise that the place is falling apart. Staff has always been kind, but incompetent, and the turnover rate is incredibly high. There's a new person in the leasing office every few months, we've easily gone through 10 people since moving in. The parking lot is sketchy to the point where I don't feel comfortable with my little sisters visiting after dark. We did their home purchase plan during our last lease renewal (pay $1500 to be able to break your lease at 60 days notice with a purchase agreement) and have run into nothing but trouble since moving out. They never put the new move-out date into their system, so the payment portal was showing the full rental amount during the last month where we were supposed to pay a prorated amount. They never fixed it, and ended up filing a civil case with the district court for "failure to pay rent"! I have emailed and called multiple times, and on the times that I did hear back it was just to say they "were passing my message on to the property manager", only for me to never hear back from the manager! This entire thing has been an absolute mess, and they don't care that I now have something on my record because of their lazy mistakes.Read More

The community is the best I've ever lived in. Coming from a college community, it's nice having such quiet and respectful neighbors. I love that I know all of my neighbors and they are all so nice! :) What's not so nice is the maintenance. This place is great if you don't have any problems, but as soon as you do expect that nothing will be done. My roommate and I went several months with our front door busted (literally someone could break in because the frame was busted) and were told that no one stopped by because our dog was out. No one called to let us know they were stopping by, so we could put our dog in a room. They don't leave notes when they stop by either, so be sure to take a "before" photo so you know that something's been done. You pay a lot of money to live in this community, so they should take care of maintaining the apartment when things go wrong. Doesn't exactly make you want to stay. The only staff member that we've enjoyed, who has also been the most helpful, is Pleschette. She's the best thing about this place. You've been warned! Don't be surprised when you move in and things don't get fixed!Read More
