Hoffler Place

I am a sophomore at CofC and cannot stress enough how awful living at Hoffler Place has been. From the start, the leasing office has been disorganized, misleading, and extremely difficult to work with. Before moving in, I was told I would be able to move in early because I needed to be back in Charleston for recruitment. When I followed up to confirm the date, I was told by multiple people that early move-in was never promised. The next day, I was told the opposite—that I would be able to move in early, but there was no official date. After that, the leasing office stopped responding altogether. My dad eventually had to go to the office in person just to get this resolved. Parking has been one of the biggest issues. I was guaranteed a parking spot in my lease, but when I arrived, I was told I did not have one and that there was nothing they could do. I had to pay $300 a month for a last-minute parking spot that was a 40-minute walk away. After repeated calls, I was finally placed on a waiting list and eventually given a spot in the garage. The parking garage is extremely tight and poorly managed. Assigned spots are not enforced, and cars without parking stickers regularly park there. The space is so small that only one car can move at a time, and people often hit concrete beams or block others in. I once had to climb out of my sunroof because my spot was too tight to open my doors. Because of this, it often takes 30–40 minutes just to get my car in or out, and I have had to Uber to work multiple times. The worst part of living here is the construction. There is a massive building being constructed right next to Hoffler, and the noise runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., sometimes longer. The pile driving shakes the apartment all day and makes it impossible to sleep, study, or relax. My roommates and I have asked for rent adjustments or any compensation and have received no response. We were told to contact someone named Elizabeth, but she is never available and does not respond to emails. On top of this, there has been nighttime road construction on King Street, causing noise and bright lights throughout the night. I was getting very little sleep. Allowing students to move in without warning them about this level of construction is unacceptable. Do not live at Hoffler Place. It is overpriced, poorly managed, and not worth the stress. Would not wish this living situation on my worst enemy.

The staff has been very helpful from move in to assisting with finding roommates. Mary Amanda and Jordan have gone out of their way to make sure our daughter was comfortable and satisfied with her unit. Maintenance has always resolved the few small issue she had when she first settle in her place. The building is clean and all of the new renovations look fantastic. She is so happy that she has committed to a new lease for next school year. Happy to have a team in the office helping my daughter’s college living experience so enjoyable! We would highly recommend Hoffler Place .

I had such a wondering experience at Hoffler Place. The property is exquisite and the staff are top notch! Perfect location on King street which allowed me to walk to a lot of great restaurants and night life! Highly recommend to all CofC students!

I'm extremely disappointed with the quality of my apartment. The carpet is disgusting and despite repeated assurances that it would be replaced, no one has shown up. Reaching out for updates has been met with silence. Moving in, I found the appliances were not cleaned at all. The dishwasher had glass, food, and mold in the filter, which I had to clean myself. The washing machine is also full of mold. Additionally, the windows were covered in mold one window is cracked and the couch has noticeable stains. We were told the unit was move-in ready, which is clearly not the case. It’s ridiculous how much money I pay to stay here, given these unacceptable conditions.

Hoffler suffers from poor management and lack of concern for residents. New and old management the same. It feels as if owners, aware of the demographic of college kids, put in as little effort towards the care for the building and units. Outside of feeling, the building lacks a maintenance closet. Their are no backup parts for anything whether it be a broken cabinet, fridge, stove, microwave, etc. I lived without a fridge for nearly two months after notifying the building due to these poor conditions. I then received another units fridge that was heavily damaged and lacked an ice machine. I also had a clogged garbage disposal. I was told I had “a strong nose” after pointing out a smell in the room. I was then forced to fix the issue myself. To add to this problem, the maintenance team consisted of a single person for the entire building. This mismanagement could be excused if not for the extremely overpriced premium placed on rent. Below are a list of smaller issues that show negligence to building care: Dirty and smelly carpets Messy hallways and trash chutes Rear parking lot damages cars Main Lobby renovations DURING MOVE OUT AND MOVE IN TIME. The combination of these issues with the premium price of the units makes me feel disappointed in owners feelings towards their residents. I would not recommend this place to young college students as it takes advantage of the influx of higher income students traveling into charleston. Stop gouging prices and rates, especially for college students.

Just moved daughter into a unit at Hoffler. The facility is well maintained, light / bright, and so friendly. The management team assisted us with our transition without hesitation. I Could not be more pleased with this complex!

Hoffler is the most beautiful apartment I have ever lived at. When I first was looking I toured with the manager Ashlyn. She made sure all of my concerns were addressed and showed me around this beautiful property. My favorite amenity is the pool. Everything about this complex is above and beyond and I could not asked for a better place to live. The staff also throws resident events which are always fun and often have free food!

Azaria was wonderful to work with regarding a new lease. She answered all of our questions and concerns with great detail. We live out of state and were not able to see the apartment in person, she provided a complete video tour and was very patient and kind. Great Experience and our daughter is very excited to move to Hoffler Place to start her sophomore year at Cofc
