Avonlea Riverside

I just moved in about 2.5 weeks ago and I am so happy I did. I was nervous because I was moving under quick circumstances and was unable to see the property in person but not only did everything work out great, Conner was excellent in my move in process. He worked with me day one and did a video tour of my apt and was extremely quick to communicate about information needed and the application process. The property is great and the units are recently redone and they look fabulous. For the... location and the apartments I’m very happy with my choice! Read More

I am a resident of this community for the last two months. This is a hidden gem of an apartment community in an amazing location. The premises are well kept, neat and clean. It's very peaceful here and there is amazing nature and walking trails leading to the Chattahoochee River National recreation Area starting right from the backside of the apartment complex. Step out of your apartment and within 10 minutes walk you will be transported to 'National Park' like surroundings by the creeks... leading to the Chattahoochee river. For my requirements, this community checks all the boxes - Nature, Location, Convenience, Peace and Quiet, Maintenance, Office Staff, Safety and the biggest of them all - amazing Affordability for what you get. The leasing office staff are cooperative should you have any concerns. The manager Marilyn is extremely particular about her job of ensuring that everything is functioning properly and that the residents are complying to all rules and regulations for the greater benefit of the community. On the day of our move in she personally went through each and every page of the lease agreement IN DETAIL and AT LENGTH with us (not skimming over or skipping points for a cursory walk-through) to ensure we understand all the terms and conditions of the agreement. A few days are moving in, I had an issue with USPS delivery (mails not being delivered to my mailbox) and Marilyn personally spoke to the mailman to get it resolved.

The biggest draw for me about this apartments was the affordability and value for money. The prices (of non renovated/non upgraded units) were well below those of nearby communities. This is an old community and the buildings are going through renovation in phases across the community. Requirements vary from person to person - for me - I did not want to pay a hefty premium for 'upgraded units' - and so I am extremely happy with what I got - I got upgraded appliances (good for energy efficiency and electric bills) but old fittings, cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms (not a problem for me at all). The rooms were extremely cleanly designed to be spacious and receiving lots of natural light - this is my other biggest requirement and this helped me decide to rent here. I have had zero problems with bugs - but I can only speak for my apartment.

Overall - till now, my stay has been very satisfactory. Read More

The manager is so rude. The apartments are old and small and certainly not worth the rent they are currently charging. The only good thing is the maintenance team. There are bugs everywhere and there is no gate ! Save yourself from living here.

Beautiful homes. I came in today (2/23/19) looking to move by the end of March / Beginning of April. I was greeted by Brandon who was very helpful, knowledgeable about property and friendly. (I recommend asking for him when touring/scouting out the property.) He showed me all the amenities, both one and two bedrooms, the remolded buildings and went over the pricing sheets so there would not be any surprises about deposit, renter insurance, ect. I am excited to be in such a beautiful property... with staff like Brandon.. I'd recommend this property to anyone including friends and family!! Read More

I mostly enjoyed my stay there. Maintenance was prompt, the neighbors nice. But a few things you should be aware of. Read the lease carefully, especially the part where they can enter your home at any time and that no matter what they do to you, you cannot hold them responsible. Also notice that even if they don't have the apartment ready when you show up with your moving van, you cannot break the lease unless it's many days late.

Expect bugs in a complex this age. Their pest control was... inconsistent at best, and never stayed with a program long enough to keep them at bay. I hope they are doing better now because the neighbors are usually very nice and the units modest but well repaired. The kitchen fan exits the breezeway, so be aware there may be cooking smells as you come home. You would and should expect a notice when they do routine maintenance to secure you personal items, but they were excessively inconsistent. It's understandable they want to protect their property, but it's our home too. I watched manager walk into a residents apartment without notice. Scary. Read More
