Deer Valley Apartments

Deer Valley has been a great apartment complex. Management has been overall friendly, the units seem to be in great condition for the most part, and more than anything it is very quiet and neighbors are respectful.

Very nice, have to pay for all utilities and internet, but the area is very put together. Management is on top of everything and feels very safe. Amenities with pool, gym, laundry and others never break all good quality.

My biggest complaint, and really only complaint, is the appliances are outdated and the dryer never turns off. Otherwise, it is larger, cheaper, and more centrally located than my last apartment complex. I can walk to walmart or aldi depending on my needs. The managing office has always been super helpful.

Place itself is great and quiet. Large rooms and everything was spotless on move-in. Neighbors are generally nice. Several other law students live in my building. Would not recommend if you have pets. Management can be rude if you want to have a pet and will make you register the pet as an ESA. Management will then bother you every time they see you walking your pet to make sure it is registered. Maintenance is also very slow to get to your requests, even if its something like a hot water heater broke.

Wonderful place to live, only grad students and older can live here. The floors are kinda thin so if you have people above you, if they walk heavy you can hear them but this is usually not an issue.

I love this place--it's 22 and up only, and relatively quiet and safe. I do not recommend it for pet owners.

Deer Valley is amazing with maintenance requests. I can usually guarantee that if I put in a maintenance request it will be fixed that day or the following. Management is also very friendly and knows your name. They enjoy keeping the pool clean and open usually as early and as late as possible (except during covid when there were a few more restrictions). I generally have felt very secure at this complex. The complex is very well kept and one of the nicer places for the price in my opinion. It's super close to everything and just a short drive to campus. It is not the downtown experience some students look for but it a great because it's a friendly, clean, quiet place for my significant other and I to live. The only downfall is they have a no pet policy.

The apartment is nice and relatively spacious. I love the small fitness center and the free printing. I also like the no pets, no under-22 (or something like that) rule. I wish it had a shuttle to campus, but that's okay.

The apartment is not on any main road, and pretty safe (the only problem we've had is some stolen packages over Christmas). A lot of law students and other grad students live in the same complex. It has a (very small) gym for residents, parking, and an outdoor pool. Maintenance is friendly and helpful. Doesn't allow undergrads, so it is relatively quiet and clean. The layout could be bigger and there is not a lot of natural light depending on how your apartment is situated. Students should have a parent or somebody co-sign when you apply, because they have a high income requirement for renting that can be hard for a student to meet on their own. Doesn't allow pets except as support animals. All apartments have very large walk-in closets.

I love my apartment complex. Management is very out of your hair. The maintenance team rocks - I very rarely need them. The complex is in the best location - 10 minutes the long way to get to Hitt Parking Garage. The residents are quiet and professional. There is also a small gym (only downside is it opens at 9 a.m.). There is a nice pool too. I think the living space is the most bang for your buck in Columbia if you want to live alone. The 2 bedrooms, 2 baths would be great if you wanted a roommate too.
