Most aspects of the merchant are severely lacking. Angela is awesome, Mike and the new maintenance guy are great, but pretty much everything else we’ve experienced since moving in in April has been below our expectations.

Spacious apartments for a fair price and a location that is convenient to downtown. Great amenities, but poor sense of community. Apartments are a bit dated and mold has been a recurring issue for myself and my friends apartments. But overall good value for the price!

I've had a great experience at The Merchant. You are paying for close proximity to all the best features Charleston has to offer. The pool gets great sun. The gym has what's needed to stay healthy, and I've never seen it get overcrowded. The Yoga room is cool too. Plus it's very dog friendly, which enhances the energy.
