There are better places in this area

I'm writing this review to hopefully save those that do their research, prior to moving, some time. Moving is a huge hassle and the worst part is sifting through these places trying to seperate the good from the bad. Every place, neighborhood, community will have their own issues. It's really all about what you can and can't tolerate. I hate to be negative or sound like a complainer but feel it necessary to possibly help someone else out with their move. If you're looking at 550, here's what you need to know. The place is an old property. Which is common for the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area for the most part. BUT...this place is really not being maintained the way it once was. The ceilings/walls are beginning to crack and/or leak. Expect constant problems with sinks, tubs, doors...etc. It's very poorly insulated. The windows, doors, patio all let in outdoor elements. So in the summertime it gets very hot easily and in the winter its very drafty. Oh and the "waterbugs"! The walls are thin and are now occupied by some pretty noisy tenants. I've spoken with neighbors and its not just my building. The maintenance guy is a really nice guy but you can tell that management is paying the bare minimum for his services. When something needs to be repaired, which is almost always, it will be a seriously shabby fix. The apartments seem to be literally falling apart. And as one reviewer also wrote, it is somewhat embarrassing to live at 550. It's not the worst place but its most certainly not the best. I moved out a couple months ago and am totally happy with my apt which is also in the Sandy Springs area. So my advice would just be, if you were my friend I would encourage you to look past 550 Abernathy and find something else. Rental rates are great right now just about everywhere. You may find somewhere cheaper and better or at least pay the same and come out better. If you don't mind the noise, molding bathrooms/ceilings, poorly insulated windows/patios/doors, then you might be ok here. Otherwise, happy hunting!
