The apartment complex did go under new management a few months ago, but from my experience the new management has been a net positive for the complex. The old managers were very friendly and outgoing, and I think they did a pretty good job. The new management is probably not quite as friendly as the old management, but they have really improved the grounds.

I have not had any personal issues with the staff or neighbors. I have had a couple of dealings with maintenence under the new management, though, and they have been positive. Under the old management, our oven did not work properly, never getting above 300 degrees Farenheit. I reported it to the office, but the maintenence guys were unable to fix it. When the new management came, I made the same complaint (and also discovered a gas leak on it.) When an attempted repair failed, we had a brand new oven in just a few days.

The complex does smell a bit funny at times, but that is true of all of Midtown Atlanta, and is certainly beyond the control of management.

My wife and I live on the second floor of a three-story building. We never hear our upstairs neighbor walking around, so I guess the floors are well-built.

The neighborhood is generally pretty quiet, but our apartment faces one of the parking areas. When people drive up and park while playing loud music in their cars, it can be pretty annoying. Fortunately, this does not happen too often.

This complex is also very pet-friendly. Many residents have dogs or cats. There is (for midtown Atlanta) a fair amount of grass, and a few waste-disposal stations scattered around for the dogs.

There was a flood here a couple of months ago. As far as I know, the only damage was to some cars parked on the lower parking deck near the entrance. At least one car break-in has also occurred since I've lived here, and it was also in the lower parking deck near the entrance. Otherwise, parking is fine, ample, and well-lit.

I understand the frustrations of those who may have not had as positive an experience with maintenence as I have. Otherwise, this is a much nicer apartment complex than my wife or I have previously lived for any prolonged period of time. It probably won't satisfy someone expecting luxurious urban living or intent on having an apartment like people have on NBC sitcoms, but otherwise I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good basic apartment without headaches.
