The Good, Bad, and Worst


I have been a resident at Centennial Place for 2 1/2 years now. I will admit when first moving into the complex was great. (The Good) Wanda Taylor and Sir Bradies were office workers who were awesome, but they left shortly after I arrived. (The Bad) Over time I have seen this place self destruct! Maintenance has always been an issue. They do not answer or return calls unless you complain constantly, so I will advise you to not leave a message but actually speak with someone. Staff is RUDE with the exception of Shelly. I have been evicted almost twice with threatening letters, saying I did not pay rent, when the fault was not mine. The staff applied my rent to another resident. Make sure you are set up with a bank that allows you to retrieve copies of checks, you will NEED it. Rent goes up every time it is due to have your lease renewed, but you will never know how much more until its time for you to actually sign it!!! Ants are a huge problem there, so expect Orkin to visit at least 2-3 times just during the summer. (The Worst) It is a mixed community. Regulars, Tax- Credit and Section 8 in other words, Centennial Place is a high priced project. Kids are everywhere! They live in the parking lots, will damage your car, curses loudly and does not care who hears them. Want to sleep in late on the weekend ..SIKE not going to happen here. Its like the parents send their children out the door at 7:00am and tell them to be as loud as they possibly can. They roller skate, jump rope down aisles, and leave their garbage on the stair wells. We have dumpsters why'!'!'! Gun shots and the smell of marijuana, you will experience this regularly. How about taking a nice little stroll on a gorgeous night' You better be packing a gun or some mase! Lastly but not least, the Popsicle man! He has a cordless phone in his truck so he makes special deliveries at all hours. Some of you may say, Whats the big deal. Well, he blows and blows and blows and blows and blows his horn until he can wake up every child in the mid town area.


I will not be renewing another year.
The choice is yours!

I think you need to just leave. The children here are a joy. I've known all of them since I was 6. We've went to school together and everything. Mr. Anthony is his name and he doesn't even come around Centennial anymore. He is always on time and sells everything that you would need. Smell of marijuana is such a lie. The people have been kicked out and will not be back! Gunshots, ok I'll admit that there was one time there was an incident but other than that, Centennial Place Apartments is the best place to live in Atlanta ZONE 5!!!

WOW!!!!!!!! It's sad that few people of color can cause so much ---- I as a black woman am looking to move to GA and i will definitely tell the agent or whom ever to put me in a small unit, with no kids, no section 8, just WORKING PROFESSIONAL FOLKS. This is why black folk can't come up. Why must it always be one of us? God help me when i move south. Makes me want to stay in N.Y.C
