Do not live here

Check the google reviews, they are true. Our family chose not to listen because of the cost. We made a huge mistake, from bug to Maintance to management it is a nightmare and you will spend more money than the cost of rent after everything is said and done .

Love this place. Friendly people.

I love my apartment and everyone is so nice. The office people have been wonderful. The apartments are a bit older but are great for the price.

Great office people and maintenance.

I see all the maintenance has to do around here. Picking up after some lazy neighbors who don't care about where they live. Instead of blaming the office people, take some responsibility. They are the best this property has ever had. Been living here 5 years. They actually care about us. I love this place. I see so many people complaining and feel bad that these people working that really care are made to look bad. Why move in if you know it is old and you don't like the age. That is no ones… fault but your own. I just want these office people and maintenance to know I care and think they do the best they can do.

Terrible place

The place is full of bugs, extremely slow on maintenence, and staffs are useless. You can complaint a hundred time but they wont solve any problem. Also, they tried to fake themselves as "UGA staffs", which I personally feel so ridiculous.

Horror Story

garbage area outside during rain is a swamp and stinks, property management doesn't care that 'strangers' are lurking around at all times, railings are falling off (the fix is to jury rig with wire, not proper fasteners), there is NOT a 24/7 management, it's when they feel like answering the phone. horribly run down in general and bug spray service or not, doesn't help the main 'Tower' building has roaches even where you would not expect them. when informed of a problem / situation on site,… they do NOT react in a timely fashion; in fact, barely at all. DON'T bother with this place - there are too many good apartments and condos in Athens to lose your money on this place. It could be nice, but if Management doesn't give a rats' patoot, there's nothing you can do to remedy. I think some of the office personnel have Way too many things on their plate with other outside interests than are able to put the time in to management this poor old place.
