Great Place to Live in Downtown Charleston

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 for the 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 staff at The Guild are top notch and add so much to my daily experience there. Jesse James' positive energy is infectious and his exceptional concierge service and skills are unmatched. When he was out on paternity leave, the building did not feel the same! I was so happy when he returned...bringing that amazing energy to the place I call home. Katie, Bill, Caroline and Robert are the best of the best, and are always happy to see everyone, accommodating and serving the building and its... residents at the highest level. The activities/events are fun and great for creating a sense of community, and the amenities/facilities are lovely and some of the best in Charleston. I can't recommend this community enough. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Be aware of the price increase!

I have loved living at The Guild. The apartment complex is amazing, the staff is super helpful and the location can't be beat. However, the 25% increase in the rent after the 1st year was a shocker and as I was told there is nothing you can do about it. So disappointing needless to say. For this reason I can't recommend living at The Guild anymore. So disappointing!

Good location and probably fine if you don’t spend too much money on the lowest cost apt.
Feels more like a school dorm
