Another apartment seeker needing advice (Columbia, Lancaster: apartments, transferring to, safe neighborhood)

[LPinSC]

Hello,

I'm currently living in Lancaster, but I'm looking to move to Columbia in the next few months, and I need some help finding some apartments that would be best.

A little info: I'm a student at USC-L that will be transferring to USC Columbia next spring.. while my fiancée was recently employed by ECPI (hence the move). I would prefer something a bit closer to 77 and/or 20 so that my drive isn't really bad.. but we aren't that picky.

Wants

- $500-$650 range.. can go up to 700ish if there are utilities included
- Safe neighborhood obviously
- If possible, something in the ECPI area... but not necessary
- Preferably 2 bedroom.. but a spacious 1 bedroom is fine


edit:

The ones on my list so far are:

-Briargate on Menlo Drive
-Landmark of Columbia on Landmark Drive
-Stoney Creek on Berryhill Rd
- The Hollows on Longcreek Drive


Thanks for the help!
