I moved in here almost 10 months ago sight unseen. I had heard good things about the place and it was close to grad school which was the reason I was relocating here (from Chicago). Overall, I have been extremely satisfied at this community! Parking: The parking is as good as any other you will find in an apartment complex. Sometimes parking can be hard to find if you are trying to go to the river at peek times, but most of the time it is better to walk anyway. I never have a hard time finding a place to park in front of my apartment. Noise: This is the only complaint I have had here. When I first moved in my neighbors would play loud, sub woofer laden music starting at about 9PM and ending at 10AM. After putting up with it for a week I called apartment security and they swiftly came over. They did all they could, but the music would not stop. The next morning I called the leasing office, the leasing office called my neighbors and I have never heard music again. So I would say that the sound proofing is not as great as it could be, but it's on par with any other apartment I have lived in. Just not spectacular like the rest of the areas of rating. This was more of a bad neighbor problem and not a problem with the complex. Grounds: The landscaping is awesome here. Always very well kept up and professional looking. Personally, I could care less how a place looks. Safety: I feel very safe here. The apartment security that they employ are off duty policemen and they have been very helpful every time I have dealt with them. I also think their are other policemen who live here but do not work for the complex. In my time here I have only seen Atlanta police in the complex once. Another thing that could affect safety: Sometimes there can be a lot of kids playing in the streets. You'll get this at any place and they, they aren't my kids and if their parents let them do that it's not up to me. Construction: I think I live in one of the older buildings that is on the outer edge of the complex. The construction is nothing to write home about, but nothing has broke since I've been here. Nothing seems outdated though. They are giving all the buildings a new paint job this year. Maintenance: Honestly, I don't have anything to say here because nothing serious has ever broken. One time the handle broke on my toilet, but they sent a guy over with in an hour after I called. Staff: This is where the complex really shines IMO. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful, even the maintenance workers. I made an effort to get to know my agent and the people who work at the office and they made an effort to get to know me. Always wave, they all know my name, even the maintenance worker who came by to fix my toilet 6 mo ago still remembers my name. Overall: I can not think of another complex in Atlanta that I would rather live in. I had a friend come visit last week and she said it feels like a resort. The river is great, the coffee shop is great too. Shop around different places, but you won't find a place better then this IMO. They seem very family focused here, they have movie nights, community building activities at the coffee shop ( open mike nights, game nights). And just so you dont think that they asked me to write this, or payed me (I wish they would!) I will include a draw back. The gym here is pretty small. You can't really do much besides cardio. But if you are serious about weight lifting, you should join a gym. There is an LA fitness a mile away. And to the person who complained about roaches: I was worried about this too moving from up north, but this is the south and bugs are a part of life. But in all the time I have lived here I have only seen 3 roaches in my apartment and they have never been alive. IMO they go out of their way to prevent this. They spray every week and if you let them know they will make a special trip to your building. The bugs were a lot worse at some of the other place I looked at. I wrote this review because of the frustration I encountered looking at reviews on this site and them all being negative. This is really a great place. You can't go wrong here if you pay your rent on time and are a reasonable person. You owe it to yourself to check this place out! Peter
