Ascent Athens Apartamentos

Have lived here for a year and I love it so much! The staff are so helpful and any maintenance is very quick. They have a service that comes and picks up your trash that is very convenient. I have felt super comfortable and safe living alone as a girl here and will stay for a couple more years. Parking is great and love the amenities.

The smell of marijuana from neighbors gets into my house very often, even at midnight (although Ascent Athens claim that they are smoking-free). Sidewalks are covered by dog poops. Noisy cars often pass my door and sometimes park there, making the whole house trembling for minutes.

To make things worse, Ascent Athens leasing office never help you reduce those bad behaviors. They always come up with excuses such as “your neighbor might need marijuana for medical purposes” and refuse to do... anything about them. For the marijuana problem I have to call the police after I tried every way to get help from the leasing office. This clearly enhances the bad behaviors because such people are never punished for those.

Finally I cannot tolerate these and decided to break the lease and move out. Ascent Athens tried to charge me as much as they can: fee for breaking lease early, fee for absence of sufficient notice, and rent for the days after I move out. And never expect to get back your security deposit. Also, there are many hidden fees not included in the rent, including pest control fee, trash reimbursement, and valet trash removal, building protection fee, billing fee, common electric fee (to support their own office), water fee and sewer fee. And with all the trash removal fee which is high enough to buy a trash service package with outside company, this community does not have recycled trash service. I asked their manager Julia Pontsler where to throw recycled gallon water bottle, she said you can either flatten it (how?!) or throw it to garbage, because they never recycle anything no matter where you throw your garbage. They also once tried to overcharge my electric bill, and claims that I owe them nearly 30 dollars for just two days, and when I asked them for a precise electric bill from Georgia Power, they cannot present a bill and have to withdraw the charge. Such a dishonest management team!

As a conclusion, NEVER rent a house in Ascent Athens, or you will regret. Lee mas

The original Accent Athens got purchased by a new company that changed the name to Ascent Athens and the new people are wonderful and responsive to questions.

No longer paying a fee for online payments which is nice.

Nice new apartments with big balconies and large luxurious bathtubs. I have been here since they opened and nothing has broken or shown much wear besides the normal wear and tear of living. Now that the townhouses are built nearby there is a nice half mile walking loop around the... community.

Nice barbecue/ pool/ seating/ corn hole game/ gym area at the center of the complex Lee mas

I moved into to Accent Athens about a month ago and I have really loved it so far. I could immediately tell that it has been built recently because my apartment feels brand new. The pool and other amenities have been great so far and everyone that I’ve met within the community has been very nice. I highly recommend when comparing to other apartment complexes in Athens.

I moved in about a month ago and the apartment was so clean and beautiful!! I feel extremely safe here as a college student because there are always people at the pool or walking their dogs so you never feel alone. It has an amazing location near tons of food options, publix, and UGA/downtown.
