The Guild Apartments

The Guild is a fantastic place to live with incredible amenities and easy access to everything around downtown Charleston. The staff is amazing. They are incredibly friendly and always helpful. They truly go above and beyond for the people living in the building. Jessie James is the best and anyone who gets a chance to meet and connect with him will be better off for it! I recommend to anyone looking for apartment space.

Visited a friend at this apartment building and it was just lovely. maintenance, crew is top notch.My friend says and he's very, very satisfied living here. we always go walking to Blum Coffee and Wine Bar yo have our coffee and buy a bottle of wine. This apartment building is also closed to a lot of the major restaurants and retail stores. 5 stars for Guild

We loved living at the guild for the past year! Not only are the apartments and facilities fantastic, but the staff really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Jesse and Ryan were both incredible parts of the concierge staff - they ALWAYS have your back! I cannot say enough about how accommodating and kind everyone is. Highly recommend.

If I could give more than five stars to Jesse James, I would. He was truly the highlight of my time at The Guild. From day one, he made the building feel like home and really took the time to get to know me (and every other resident, which is honestly impressive). He always remembered little details, checked in on how life was going, and of course greeted Duke with pets and treats. When I had knee surgery — not once, but twice — Jesse went above and beyond, making sure all my packages were brought up to my apartment and that I had everything I needed. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only great at their job but also truly kind, thoughtful, and consistent. Honestly, the saddest part about leaving The Guild was saying goodbye to Jesse. Duke and I miss him so much. If you’re lucky enough to live in a building where Jesse works, you’re in the best hands.

Jesse James was the first warm welcome we received when we moved into The Guild—and he set the bar incredibly high from day one! His outstanding customer service made living there such a great experience. He greeted not only us but all of our friends and visitors with the same friendly energy, and the entire concierge team, including Miranda and Caroline and Ryan, were hands-down one of the best parts of living at The Guild. We only moved to get more space for our two dogs, but we truly miss it. If you’re looking for an apartment in Charleston, The Guild is absolutely the place to be!

The Guild is a great apartment complex and one of the best in Charleston!! It is in a great location, but it is the concierge staff that really make it stand out. Jesse James is fantastic - he makes sure that everything is seamlessly taken care of!

The guild was a wonderful place to call home the past 2 years. I would highly recommend this apartment complex for downtown Charleston. The amenities, rooftop pool deck, social gatherings and friendly staff make the experience. Jesse James is the gold standard of hospitality and makes you feel like you have a friend, he will always brighten your day. He goes above and beyond for all of the resident's.

Jesse James is the absolute best person ever. From the day I moved in he made me feel at home at The Guild. I no longer live at The Guild, but Jesse still goes above and beyond to help me when I need it!

Concierge team and the rooftop are the best in Charleston......but that's about it. Building is definitely showing signs of wear and tear. Poorly insulated - just hope you get quiet neighbors. Leasing/Management team is very frustrating to work with. Parking is an absolute joke. They love to tow residents cars. We've had a slew of car break-in's in the resident section of the garage. One car was even stolen. Crickets from the leasing/management team. Long story shot.....The Guild is VERY overpriced, overrated and poorly managed. This isn't 2021 and there's now plenty of other great, new places to live.

The Guild is an amazing apartment in downtown Charleston. The location is superb for someone new to the area. The views from the 7th floor pool deck are stunningly and beautiful. The location is about a mile to a mile and half from Harris Teeter grocery store, Target and Walgreens. The quality and design of the building is unique. It is extremely well-maintained, clean and very safe. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. Jesse James was great at answering any questions I had about the apartment and the Charleston area in general. I only lived in Charleston for a year, but I would move back to The Guild if the opportunity came up again to live in downtown Charleston.

The Guild staff and manager, Matt Johnson, has always been extremely courteous and helpful anytime we are assisting new tenants. His communication skills and professionalism are as good as it gets. Thank you, Noah Denton We Love Moving LLC

The Guild is an incredible building. It sells itself as "unrivaled apartment living." Which may be true up until the building management repeatedly butchers the handling of the annual hurricane season. Unfortunately hurricanes are a part of life in Charleston. Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, Florence in 2018 and now Dorian in 2019. For Florence in 2018, the Guild management shut down the elevators on Tuesday and the gas shortly there after. Tired of cold showers I left on Friday only to come back Saturday evening to find someone attempting to break into the bike storage. That is bound to happen when management deserts the building. For Dorian on Sept 2nd the building manager sent out an 8:20 am Monday email stating that since the storm's "greatest impact anticipated between Monday and Wednesday" the building's elevators and gas will be shut down at 11 am. Huh? What? 2.5 hour notice based on a fictitious weather report? There wasn't a tenant in the building at that time that wasn't glued to the weather forecasts. Management was either completely oblivious to the weather reality or flat out lying. After multiple ignored emails requesting Greystar's weather source, a senior regional manager produced the NOAA's Sunday 11:00 am wind arrival map. A map showing winds arriving in Charleston at 8pm on Tuesday night and made it worse by stating,"Monday's forecast was very similar to this one!" 100% false. Guild/Greystar management will respond with words like safety, protocol, and mandatory evacuation. Was there concern for tenant's safety when they abandoned the building from Tues-Fri? Where was the 24 hour security guard to protect the open building/garage? Open and exposed since the entrance doors from the garage into the building were not properly closing due to the winds coming through the garage? In other words, the building was again left wide open in a neighborhood where someone was shot and killed on the same street 2 blocks away in August. Is protocol using a dated or completely incorrect weather forecast to immediately shut down the building? Is protocol giving tenants 2.5 hours notice of this shutdown? Despite a mandatory evacuation, Mayor Tecklenburg estimated that half of the Charleston population stayed. The downtown Harris Teeter only closed Thursday and has put employees up at hotels if necessary to stay open. Uptown Social was open every night. Most of the small local convenience stores were also open. If 50% of your tenants stay don't your owe them some protection and amenities? When considering a "luxury" apartment managed by Greystar remember two things: 1) That during annual hurricanes your building will be abandoned and your home left unprotected all in the name of safety! 2) Management will always choose return on investment and limiting liability over the tenant's well being. P.S. The Guild/Greystar will delete any negative posts on Facebook and Instagram.

If you are over 30 this is not the place you want to live. A lot of students (complete disregard or respect for adults) live here. Also the management does nothing to enforce the rules. The equipment in the gym does not work most of the time.

We just moved my daughter into the Guild and she loves it. The location is excellent and the facilities are first rate. Her floor is always quiet. The staff is amazing! I can't say enough about how welcoming they have all been. Josh, Tresha, and Kaitlyn have been amazing to work with. Everyone is always friendly and professional. They have all continued to be helpful during the move and after the move. We had to call about an air conditioning issue and it was resolved immediately with such professionalism! Moving can be so stressful but I can honestly say, the staff at the Guild will make it easy and pleasant!
