Avenues of Kennesaw

I've lived here for 6 years, and through 3 management companies. TAM Residential has improved the outside of the apartments, and the amenities by 100% We've been looking at apartments closer to Atlanta, and if the ones in our price range were this nice, I'd rent them in a second.

The management is disrespectful and the buildings and grounds are in disrepair.

The lease is filled with so much fine print and 'gotcha' clauses that it's borderline criminal.

They may be super nice to you when you are about to sign the lease, but they are not listening to your needs; they just see you as a dollar sign.

I lived at The Avenues of Kennesaw from the end of January 2024 until December 2024. I was on a 13-month lease but decided to terminate early so I could move back to Athens, Georgia to finish my degree. Before making the move, I asked twice what the financial penalty would be. Both times, I was told that I’d be responsible for rent up to two months after my move-out date — meaning if I moved out on December 12, I’d owe rent through February 12.

Since I had already paid December’s rent in full… on the 1st, I was told I’d only owe all of January’s rent and a prorated amount for 12 days of February.

Following that guidance, I mailed the keys and a cashier’s check to cover the amount I was told I owed. I sent both in the same envelope. Then I was contacted by Luisa, who said they received the keys but not the check — even though they were sent together. I had to cancel the original check and send a new one.

Later, they completely changed their story and claimed that because I moved out mid-December, I was actually responsible for all of December, all of January, and all of February — essentially the same total I would’ve owed had I just stayed until the end of my lease in late February. This directly contradicted the explanation I had been given multiple times.

Despite doing everything I could to follow the instructions I was given, they sent the disputed balance to collections, creating an unnecessary financial issue that I’m still trying to resolve.

My experience with The Avenues of Kennesaw was incredibly frustrating. If you choose to live here, get every single thing in writing, especially when it comes to lease terms and payment responsibilities. The lack of consistent communication and accountability makes it hard for me to recommend this complex to anyone. Read More

Most of the front office staff is rude leaving only one person there that is kind. No one ever really does anything to fix the problem though. Maintenance don’t actually maintain a Thing. They only pseudo fix things, but never actually address the real problem. I’ve had to live with roaches and rodents in my apartment on several occasions. In order for pest control to come one has to call every Monday and they never treat the whole building. But they never answer the phone ! Limit pool to one… side of the building … The place is truly horrible. The apartment they show you looks nothing like the apartment that you actually rent, my apartment has no drawer in the kitchen if you find some thing within the same price range, go with that not this place Read More
