Great place to live

I enjoy living here. The apartments have large bedroom windows and an open floor plan. The pool is well maintained in the summer and there is a small 24-hr gym. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful.

Impressive first apartment

It's having everything you need, like your basic utilities and appliances, as well as extra amenities. An apartment complex with a pool, car wash area, picnic spots, patio, clubhouse, and dog park all in one place is the best. Definitely a great choice for my first place

Wonderful Apartments at Affordable Prices in Wakefield

My children and I have been residents of The Columns at Wakefield since mid-January. I truly enjoy living here. The leasing staff is very helpful, courteous and professional. They have a lot of fun activities for residents, too. The maintenance staff respond very quickly to any problems, and are very professional. The layout of the complex is great, and overall upkeep of the development is just fine. As for noise, the walls are a bit thin, and you can hear your neighbors sometimes, but it's definitely not enough for me to not be happy in my home. The only downside, and this is not against the apartment complex at all, is that some neighbors do not pick up after their dogs. Even though the development does a wonderful job of providing potty bags and trashcans at convenient places throughout the property. It's not a lot, but just noticeable on occasion when I'm walking my two dogs. The only improvement that I'd love to see is mulch, or more grass in the Dog Park so that paws don't get too muddy when the weather is wet. Great value for your money. The security gates make me feel very safe and secure, and I couldn't ask for a better apartment complex.

It is a nice complex

The parking is sometimes iffy, but not too bad. You rarely, if ever, hear neighbors in your apartment. The maintenance guys fix things in a timely fashion.

Sad to Leave

Best apartment community I’ve lived - maintenance is quick, the office staff are friendly and organized, and community is quiet and clean. I’m moving to be closer to work, but none of the apartments I’ve viewed even compare to this place. I hate to go - the apartments are spacious, many floor plans to choose from, and you get more for your money living here in comparison to surrounding areas.

Im so glad I found this development!

Im so glad I found this development! I knew this place would be great as soon as we met with all the lovely leasing staff (Chelsea helped us with everything). They really have everything so well organized- from how familiar they are with each individual floor plan to how attentive they are with call-backs and emails. The property is very well maintained and cleaned. You cant beat the pricing, amenities, and location! I highly recommend the Columns.

Hidden Jewel - Great Community, Great Staff

Since the day I inquired about the Columns the customer service has remained the same. I just move out after staying there for two years. The Columns is a hidden jewel for Wake County, I loved when I had visitors and they found out that I lived in gated community. Melanie has always been professional and answered every questions of concerns, even when I pop up unannounced in her office. . Love this place and it will be missed.

It has been a wonderful experience

My family and I recently moved to this community a few months ago. We came from New York and this experience has been amazing. The staff and neighbors are extremely helpful, garbage is always picked up at night and the kids playground and pool is always kept very clean. I am here to stay.

The staff is terrible

I have been a resident for two years and this last years the assistant manager has been very rude and the maintenance staff has changed and became very lazy. I put in a request and it takes over two weeks for the staff to acknowledge the issue or even give the request to the maintenance staff. When the maintenance staff finally get the request. They are so lazy I asked for my light bulbs to be changed and they left packs of light bulbs on my front porch, along with a leaky refrigerator and no ice, which was another problem from four weeks ago that was never solved.

I loved living here at the Columns. First of all the staff in so warm and welcoming and they really listen to your needs. Second just the overall feel. Which is so clean and well maintained. Finally I like the different events they provided. From grab cookies, brownies, muffins, etc. day at the office to pool parties and food trucks. I highly recommend the The Columns.

Its a really nice place to live, no complaints at all. Noise is low, the area is really nice with everything you could ever want within 8 mins of your door and 3 mins from a grocery stores and a movie theater. Dog friendly, good pool, a cool lake in the middle, good people can always just start up a chat with whoever. Its a nice place to live.

Feels like home

I just love it here. I haven't live in an Apartment for atleast 50 years, always owned my own home, but this feels like home . I checked out other apartment complexes and the feeling here is way beyond what I had imagined. My children were a little apprehensive about me living here but after seeing the facilities, they are very happy and feel like I am safe and comfortable. I feel like I have made the right choice.

We would like to express our thanks

We would like to express our thanks and pleasure to have lived at the Columns for the last 4 years. Our apartment was on the pond which delighted us every day with the many geese and ducks and occasional heron. The management is the best. If you are considering apartment living in Wakefield, you won t get any better than the Columns!

The Columns at Wakefield was my home for a year

The Columns at Wakefield was my home for a year, July 15 to July 16, and it was a lovely place to call home. Very quiet and seemingly tucked away in the heart of Wakefield. I relocated for work last July, but I would recommend The Columns at Wakefield to anyone looking for afforable luxury in the Northern Raleigh/Wake Forest rental market.

Good place to live

Apartments are nice. Overall the staff is nice, i've only had a few minor issues with them. The water was shut off a lot the first few weeks I moved in and I wasn't always given notice, but since then I haven't had any issues.

The Columns is great! The staff is kind

The Columns is great! The staff is kind and extremely helpful, the fitness center is well equipped and my family feels safe here. Also, being someone who has difficulty hammering a nail into the wall, it is so great to have a reliable maintenance team to come fix thing s shortly after I put in a work order. I honestly don t know why people still want to own a house when a place like The Columns exists.

Apartment living does not get any better than this

I would have to say that management and staff are all outstanding So friendly, cheerful and consistently going out of their way to please. With all of the residents moving in and moving out, they remember our names....including granddaughter and dogs names. Just look at the almost daily little activities they have...from dog biscuit day, to casino night.....it all matters Neighbors are great too....nice people live here It all really speaks for itself.

peaceful place to live

It's a very much peaceful place to live all your concerns are solved quickly and the other residents and the staff at an office are friendly and approachable. The location is also perfect as the Banks, fast food, grocery store are nearby. The community also provides amenities like car wash, swimming pool, gym, computer labs, playing area for kids and community get-together make sure the new resident enjoy their time. overall awesome experience to live here though I have live one year but excited for more. I really appreciate living here

I will be moving into The Columns in May and I cannot wait!

I will be moving into The Columns in May and I cannot wait! I reserved a Lake View 1 Bedroom on the top floor. This is the only apartment community that could literally offer me everything that I wanted in an apartment. Gated community, walk in closet, washer/dryer already in the apartment, AND lots of windows to allow for natural sunlight! I am extremely happy with my decision and can t wait to call The Columns my home. :) #veryhappyresident

I moved in to my apartment a few months ago

I moved in to my apartment a few months ago. My apartment overlooks the lake and has its own private stairway entrance. I cannot say enough good things about this apartment! The maintenance staff is always so sweet and says hi to me when I am out walking, and the office staff always goes out of their way to help me when I am in the office. They hold resident events every week which is nice because then I get to meet other people in the community. I like to know who my neighbors are... If you make this community your new home, you will not be sorry! Sincerely, A very happy resident :)

It's very comfortable living here, there is a good cross section of families from families with young children, teenagers and mature and even older families. tenants are friendly, neighborly and engage with each other all the time. The staff is very attentive, friendly and very efficient at all levels, including the maintenance. I'm extremely impress with monthly calendar of events which lends to the camaraderie of tenants at property. I highly recommend it to all my friends

MY EXPERIENCE AS A NEW TENANT SINCE DEC 13 2016

MY experience so far has been wonderful . the staff, Abby,Stacy, Chelsea, Melanie,- YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER TEAM they ALL ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL physically and spiritually my response time when reporting an issue or concern is always prompt and professional by both the staff and the maintenance team. Parking is great - i haven't had ONE night if out late that i haven't been able to find a park in front of my building. and the lake oh my Jesus JUST TAKE ME AWAY CALGON - - My only concerns at this time IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN, which i DON'T like to do are as a first floor resident , i still continue to hear my neighbors upstairs walking hard, running, just noise intermittently..ETC which is VERY annoying at times. please note, the noise is not Everyday, its more intermittent , here or there, but i deal with the best i can. I invested in a pair of earplugs that helps a little , but then i dont hear my alarm in am AUGHHHHHHHHH - lastly, the internet WIFI signal at times is a little slow-but this has improved a LOT since yesterday. BUT OVERALL ....THE COLUMNS AT WAKEFIELD ROCKS YAY - -

Lived there for a little less than a year

Lived there for a little less than a year. The management is good, very responsive and helpful. Maintenance issues were taken care of quickly. My biggest complaint was the gate. The call box rarely works correctly the first time, which makes it hard for visitors. The gates break frequently, especially during winter. There were several occasions where I got stuck on the outside of the gates, unable to get to my apartment because the gates were not functioning properly.

Feels like Home

Since I moved into the Columns in June, I have felt like I have been at home. The community is safe and quiet and the office tries to make the complex feel like a neighborhood and not just an apartment. I am a single mom and I have always felt very safe, not just because it is a gated community but because of the quality of residents within the community. My neighbors are very friendly and have been willing to help out if I need it. The office staff is very accommodating and always willing to help. They remember who you are and want to build professional relationships with you. The prices are about average for the area and if you look for specials, you can get a really good rate for at least a year. I would recommend this community to anyone looking for an apartment.

Great Place to Live

I've enjoyed living in this community for the past two years. The grill area and pool are amazing and the view from my apartment over-looking to pond is relaxing. The staff is always helpful and maintenance requests are taken care of swiftly. I've never had an issue with having to wait too long, and all of our issues were minor I feel safe here. If I want to be part of the community there are plenty of activities, and if I want to keep to myself that is easy as well. The location has been great and I enjoy being just an uphill walk from Starbucks, the movie theater, Moes, my bank, and more. The only minor issue would be the noise from upstairs neighbors. However, I never complained about it to the staff or talked to the neighbors. I'm sure if I had it would have been taken care of. But hey, it's apartment life We all live close together

Very Clean Property, and Quiet Apt. Complex

I definitely would recommend this Apt Complex as a top choice to live. It is very pleasant, quiet, and my 4yr old daughter and I feel very safe. My neighbors are friendly, and most importantly everyone minds their own business. I have already renewed my lease to stay here longer. The only issue that I do have is my upstairs neighbors above me consistently stomps when the walk across the floor, it seems like they never sleep - and are always pacing the floor non-stop. This issue, of course, is not the Columns fault but is clearly the fault of my upstairs neighbors, as they seem to be inconsiderate of those beneath them.

I feel very safe here, the gated community is a plus. As far as amenities go the pool and office areas are lovely. Maintenance is on top of everything.
