The 500

I've lived here for almost a year and there are no working treadmills. One of the reasons I moved here is because I wanted a gym that I didn't have to pay for monthly and that was easily accessible. They charge you for amenities but can't replace any of the equipment. One treadmill jumps, making it very dangerous to use, not even sure why they still have it in the gym...and that's the only one that works. Another one has a big screen, doesn't work and one doesn't even come on. A few months ago,… I saw a few boxes in the gym, I just knew they were new treadmills, nope, they weren't, the broken ones are still here. What gym doesn't have a treadmill? Read More

I have lived on this property for three years before moving to another area and i will try to be more objective in giving my review.I know most apartment communities are likely to have similar problems but i hope this will help those who come across this review.On the more positive side , the
1:location is more central to mid town ,the airport ,the major shopping complexes around as well as the 75 and 85 Interstates.2.The renovated units are spacious(tile ,vinyl floors , new appliances) … ,3:Management does a very good job keeping the communication lines open with their residents by email and through their app Henry.On the contrary ,the following are issues of concern for every resident in this apartment community.1.The 500 is not a gated community hence anyone has access to the premises.Thats a security concern.In 2019 , there was a pool party on the premises on which hundreds of non residents participated in without the management’s permission and a young male lost his life by drowning.2.A crime hub-The 500 is a discreet location and have noticed a lot of drug dealing activities in almost every parking lot.Its like all the kingpins are increasingly moving into this particular area lately.Thats a security concern.3.Gunshots by night-a major security concern too 4:In 2019 , a young male got shot dead in one of the complexes nearing the main entrance and thats what we all got to know and nothing more 5:Sometimes , the trash doesnt get to be collected from the patios for a couple of days and that poses a health hazard to residents and besides , the cats sometimes opens the trash bags thus littering the whole place.I know they have been trying their best to collect trash but sometimes , they are not forthcoming 6:Pests-Roaches(Palmettos) especially in summer.In addition , i have seen rats run in my unit ‘s pantry and the strong smell of rodents filled my apartment especially in Summer.7:Dog”s poo everywhere-people do not leash or clean after their dogs 8:Parking-Some residents double or tripple park their cars thus depriving other residents of parking 9:The utility bill is so exorbitant.The formula they use to calculate water usage per apartment block is rediculously unfair in my view
10. The pricing for the apartment units is a bit streep in my view given the age of the apartments(Built 1969 or so ).
The list may go on but this is what i observed for the time that i have lived on this property.Trust this would help! Read More

I've been living here for almost a year, and it's been alright. I haven't had any problems with management, they've all been very nice and helpful. Maintenance on site is excellent as well. The only downside is I chose one of the units without overhead lighting and my apartment is very dark. Would recommend the community if you make sure to go with the renovated apartment.

It was a really good experience living at The 500. If I didn’t need to move out of Atlanta, I would have stayed here a lot longer. If I ever need to move back, The 500 will be my first choice! Aaron was super helpful and welcoming as my leasing consultant! My apartment was so chic and modern, I loved it! The community is well kept and I had zero bug problems! If you are looking to move to a great location call The 500!
