I have been living here for the past three years and happy that I found Overture West Ashley. I love my apartment and the amenities offered. We have a top-notch management team here for any questions or concerns which is great!

As an over-55 widow, what I appreciate most about Overture West Ashley is the opportunity, in a beautiful setting, to make new friends and develop a support system for those of us who are alone. The management team is very much a part of the community. They have a job to do and they do it very well, they are open to suggestions and maintain a professional, caring enviroment. I am grateful to be part of this community.

Enjoy living here with all the activities. Have met a lot of people from all walks of life. I especially enjoy going to the exercise class.

This is a quiet, friendly apartment community with excellent staff and maintenance, and a wide variety of programs and activities for residents. It also has an optimum location near everything. I highly recommend living at Overture West Ashley.

Very convenient to everything I need. Friendly neighbors and a beautiful area. There are numerous activities to choose from and numerous exercise classes. There is a beautiful nature trail to walk on and a deck out over a tidal creek. It is a very quite and serene place.

My first impression...it is so quiet. Common areas are very neat and clean. My apartment was ready with just a few punchlist items. Met some neighbors. I think i will be happy here.

So happy to have found Overture West Ashley three years ago. Moving to a new state, in itself, was an adjustment for me. Moving to OWA was the best decision I ever made. Love the apartment, the people and a management team always there if you have questions or concerns. Hoping to make this my forever home.

Great location! Everything is easy to walk to. The exercise classes are wonderful! A real positive to have a heated pool for water aerobics. The West Ashley Greenway is a wonderful place to take a walk or ride a bike!

Wonderful location and caring staff who work every day to enhance our convenience and comfort make for a pleasant and safe experience for the residents.

Place is great. Good maintenance. Public areas kept clean and in good shape. Grounds are maintained weekly. My only gripe is UPS drivers allowed to deliver to floor of front building instead of delivery to door of apartment as specified on delivery label.

Very pleasant and busy experience. Many activities. Prompt response to questions and problems. Location is convenient to many places, especially restaurants and grocery.

I love ❤️ my apartment, the lighting and the space. Every day I am finding new ways of storaging things around the apartment. I am looking forward into printing a couple walls. This way my apartment will pop even more.

Living at Overture West Ashley is great! I love my apartment, and the fact that any issues that might arise are handled in a timely manner, makes it the best place to live. No worries, lots of amenities, and the nicest people live here. I plan on making this my forever home.

Overture West Ashley is a great place to live. The location, amenities, and staff are amazing. I love it here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet community.

Friendly happy helped with events they liked, years hear. Birds singing the greenway for biking, walking and pets. Can’t wait to take exercise in the pool. New tune, Overture, but living in Charleston 50 years.

Having never lived in an apartment before moving here, we have nothing to compare, but I cannot imagine living in a better community than Overture West Ashley. We visited many senior apartment communities prior to selling our house, but we were sold on Overture the minute we stepped inside the complex. Everyone from fellow residents to staff have been most kind and gracious towards us from when we first arrived to the present. I feel we really made the best decision to spend our retirement years here at OWA.

I LOVE living at Overture. The community is well maintained and managed. The residents are warm and friendly. As a lonely widow, I was seeking friendships, activities and camaraderie and found it all at Overture West Ashley. The management staff are professional, helpful and engaging. They often participate in some of the activities along with the residents.

To say that I am happy living here is an understatement. I love my apartment and the amenities are great too! The staff is very friendly and helpful if and when I need anything. So happy to have found Overture West Adhley.

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy living at Overture West Ashley. My home is beautiful and a lot of thought was given to the layout and design, making it spacious as well at comfortable. The Community Director and leasing staff are wonderful, they are kind and listen to concerns and needs and do everything they can to make things better. Maintenance staff ensures the property is beautifully maintained they are quick to take care of any problem and to actually explain what they did. I think it shows care for the actual property. We are lucky to have an Activities Director that works hard to schedule events, to secure speakers for interesting topics and arrange tours and activities off property. There is always something going on here!

Overture West Ashley is an incredible place to live. The floor plans, security, grounds, amenities, and staff are top notch. I can’t imaging living anywhere else.

Feb 16, 2024

I love living here. I am able to walk to grocery stores and restaurants, a library, and many retail stores. Right nest to the Greenway for walking and biking. The heated pool with water aerobics and the stretch and balance classes are awesome!

I have lived at OWA for 8 months now and I have to say it has been a great experience! I am now learning to play pickle ball and it is so much fun. I have a couple of residents teaching me the game and I am so grateful. Thank you to everyone who has made it fun and also made it feel like home! Wishing everyone a wonderful and healthy new year! Cheers! ?❤️

I have been here for 50 years, brought up our children. I walked in, and I felt like I was home. J the leasing management did an excellent job that was, friendly, professional, and a good listener. I am looking forward to being part of this community. My visit gave me so much hope, I did a lot of volunteer work at one time. And with these different events, I feel that I will be able to be part of something that feeds the soul. Thank you for listening.

I am so happy living here. I feel safe, and the amenities are great. You can be as busy as you want or not. This is my third Christmas here, and I hope to celebrate many more at Overture West Ashley.

My wife and I have recently moved here from selling our home in Downtown Charleston. Our experience so far has been wonderful! The staff have been very responsive and informative as we settle in, a pleasure to work with. What is most exciting are the friendly and sincere greetings from the residents and staff we have met so far, a great community!

Sep 26, 2023

A Warm Welcoming Community. I have been surprised by how friendly everyone has been that I meet as I travel around the development. I’ve had great conversations and offers of help and assistance.

Sep 13, 2023

Nice community. Would like to see more cleaning of back building hallways, elevators and entrances from cleaning people. Otherwise great faculty and staff.

Sep 2, 2023

I have been a resident at Overture West Ashley for two years. The people, the amenities and the management team are the best. It's nice not having to worry about any problems that may arise. So far, none to speak of. I plan on making this my forever home.

Aug 24, 2023

Continue to enjoy my residency at Overture West Ashley. While the turnover in the management area is more frequent than I would expect and prefer, the residents are wonderful and amenities remain consistent.

Aug 12, 2023

It nice and spacious. I like the big windows . I am still unpacking. I like the quietness, the people are really friendly. I am learning new things everyday.

Jan 1, 2024

There are many opportunities to socialize. The pool is wonderful. The staff is very pleasant and professional. The residents are friendly.

Nov 7, 2023

I have been here a year and still love my apartment, the complex, and the friends I've made. I have gotten involved in some of the exercise programs as well as attend educatonal programs frequently. While we've had some staff turnover (like any other complex), those who are here are dedicated to their jobs and making life good for the residents. The addition of the new community manager, Liz, has been great.

Jul 13, 2023

Didn’t receive the email re the weather and safety. Didn’t receive the one supposedly sent this morning, 1-22. Please send me the appropriate email. Thank you.

We have lived at OWA since it opened. We like the quiet setting between a scenic greenway and a salt water marsh with wading birds all within walking distance to a small shopping center and many dining spots. The current management team at OWA is great as are the social functions. We think that the current housekeeping service needs improvement because it has deteriorated over the last six months, particularly in and adjacent to the elevators. The paddings in the elevators should be taken down sooner after a move in-out because they are unsightly, as are the elevator floors.

Nov 28, 2024

I love living here. Everyone staff and residents are very nice. I am close to my doctors and like the neighborhood. I always recommend you to my friends and family.

I love living here but do not understand how Greystar could have allowed a Contractor to build structures with so many flaws. I am especially disturbed by the lack of security in that doors and gates are unlocked and have been for months, supposedly because parts are never available for repairs. The landscape crew is pathetic, allowing bushes to be overgrown and never groomed . They are dying all over the property and all the supposed landscapers do is blow leaves. We need crews with knowledgeable foremen.

Sep 19, 2024

Maintenance issues re access via gates is annoying because the community app doesn’t work properly. After 5 years here there have been no cosmetic refreshments to the apartment such as painting, carpeting, etc.

Aug 20, 2024

Activities offered on daily basis, no idle time. Facility is spotless. Club room is great for workouts. Mgt. needs to have more helpers. Trash pickup is too costly. Some of us don't need it.

Feb 4, 2024

I have lived at Overture West Ashley since the beginning prior to the Pandemic. It has changed a lot since that time -- especially management. I think, now, we have had six different managers. It is a good place to live. My favorite is the pool when it is heated and useable. Love that feature.

Jan 24, 2024

The complex is beautiful and well-located. Staff (leasing, management, and maintenance) are top-notch and totally receptive to residents' needs. However, I am disappointed that a three-year-old building has major issues, for example, access doors to the building were not operational for an extended period of time, and elevators not working for an extended period of time, at least three weeks (which means walking to the other end of the building while carrying groceries in 100 heat, challenging at best, for some residents, brutal). I am also disappointed that while the living space appears luxurious at first glance, I find that for a 5'5" woman, the closet rails, and the shower head are almost unreachable. I had to order a special extension to be able to control the shower head. And the top shelves of all my cabinets are going unused due to the fact I cannot reach them without using a step stool, which is never a good option.

Best spot for thriving in the Lowcountry! The Lifestyle Coordinator creates an atmosphere like “Day Camp”. A lot of fun for everyone! The staff is professional…my only reason for giving 4.5 stars is that there always room for improvement!

May 31, 2024

I love the peace and quiet of OWA, nestled between the marshes and the Greenway while being within walking distance of wha is necessary. The management staff is on top of everything, even when some residents take undue advantage of their privileges…and they are friendly.

Oct 12, 2023

Excellent location: 10 minutes to everything!! With outstanding amenities, it’s a great place to live your best life with a peaceful atmosphere & lovely grounds.

Aug 23, 2023

We have been here since Overture opened and we are happy with our apartment, its beautiful and handy location, the recreational facilities and helpful staff. However, we live on the 4th floor and it is becoming very tiresome when the elevators don’t work; this has been going on for a long time. I also think that the housekeeping and maintenance is not what it used to be. I understand the management issues with some tenants who abuse the food and beverage amenities and don’t pick up after their pets, thereby spoiling things for the rest of us. Is there some way that I and the other residents can help management with this problem?

Enjoy the community. Enjoy being close to family. Some of the things in the unit could have been done more thoughtfully-for example showers and hanging poles are too high for many of the residents and carpets aren’t very durable. Also light switches in master bath are located behind the entrance door.

Jan 29, 2024

It is improving with new management. Younger people are now beginning to live here and that pertains to the 55+ active community. Keep at it staff

Sep 29, 2023

Great location! This low rating is because it is an unsafe place for elderly residents to live. Our building entry doors are broken/unlocked, and security gates are broken/open. This unsafe situation has existed for more than 3 months. Intruders could enter any of our buildings, rob and/or assault an elderly resident. We pay top dollar to live here and expect it to be safe from predators.
