If you’re still stressed out because you can’t find your ideal apartment, sign a lease with The Lofts of Columbia. We have four convenient locations, and two of them are in the heart of downtown! It has everything you’re looking for: in-unit laundry, a balcony in every apartment, spacious rooms, a jacuzzi tub, in-house maintenance, and building security. Interested in leasing an apartment with us? There are still spaces available, but they are going quickly, so give us a call to schedule a tour today!

We have studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom floor plans at The Lofts. Most of our residents typically have someone they already want to live with. There is rarely a need for a random roommate, but it does happen. So, what should you look for in a compatible roommate?

Cleanliness 

After you’ve found a roommate, it’s time to set expectations with one another. Define things like who’s going to take out the trash, get to know each other’s class schedules, set a time for quiet hours, and determine shared responsibilities. Starting off the year with this can eliminate stress and prevent petty arguments. This ensures no one gets stuck doing all of the chores.

If you ever have an issue with your apartment, we have our own maintenance team at the Lofts that handles everything from a broken light switch to a leaking washing machine. We have a form on our website you can fill out that specifies the issue and allows you to choose when to have maintenance work on the problem. No surprise maintenance staff walk-ins here!  You can also select ‘emergency’ for things warranting serious, immediate repairs. Most non-emergency repairs are solved within 48 hours.

Does your future roommate like to stay up late and watch TV in the living room really loud? Do you have an early bedtime? Make this clear upon move-in. No one wants an awkward confrontation in the middle of the semester, so set yourselves up for success and establish expectations at the beginning.

Also, the small stuff does matter. Texting the other person that someone is coming over, taking the two seconds to write a note that the dishes will be done after class, or letting the other person know if you’re having a bad day could all make huge differences in the household dynamic. No one can read minds, so just let it all out in the open.
