Reply to comment by mynamesafad in Apartment complexes on $1900 budget by Saucy-Boi

Downtown sounds more interesting to live in and I have no problem with noise pollution. My worry about living downtown is safety as it seems some people have said they have had trouble with car break ins living close and in the town center.

Most of the apartments near the downtown area have secured garages, so break ins shouldnt be much of an issue. Also - I have lived in the downtown area for a while now and have never felt unsafe. I like the walkability of it and easy access to restaurants

Are there any complexes downtown you would recommend or avoid?

Marlow is brand new opening this year, and Juniper is across the street from it. Both of those are nice apartments that have luxury amenities. With Marlow being brand new, you may be able to get some move in deals. TenM and The Met are also nice and been around for a bit

Unfortunately, this doesn't matter - TenM and Metropolitan secure garages have had major break in issues and Junipers garage is left unsecured often due to door repairs and such.

I had a broken bike that I wanted to get rid of but didn’t feel like dealing with sitting on my front porch not locked up. It took a year to finally get stolen 😆. Probably just some neighborhood kids.

The occasional car break in sure, but no more than anywhere else. I wouldn't be concerned with safety in that area though. Columbia in general is a very safe place to live. There are a few questionable spots, again no more than any other "safe" neighborhood, but even in those areas just don't be an idiot and pay attention to your surroundings and there should be no issue.
