Hi everyone,

I have lived in the Mosaic for 2 years, unfortunately. The reason I moved into this apartment because I wanted to live in this area, and the price of $750 for a one bedroom was a really good find at the time. Well, you get what you pay for. This is by far the worst place to live. I am a single female and I am very concerned by my safety, especially at night. The manager, Cadja, even had the nerve to tell me "well this is Sandy Springs, so you should expect crime to occur in the complex since crime occurs in Sandy Springs." I called the police 3 times in the past 6 months because of the drug activity that occurs so blatantly in the apartment beside me. I tried to get my lease shortened because I do not like having to walk past grown men hanging around after dark outside and in their cars just to get to my apartment (which is in the back). Cadja told me that she does not shorten leases under any circumstances and she proceeded to tell me that a resident even had her door kicked in recently and she didn't allow her to shorten her lease. As if that bit of unsolicited information would help my sanity. In September, my boyfriend's car was broken into when he stayed over night. The culprits threw a rock/boulder right through the window and let out all the air from his tires.

There are other issues that I have had (water being unavailable on 3 separate occasions without any arrangements/concessions made for residents to SHOWER; lack of cleanliness of walkway; the mess that the maintenance guys leave behind after they finish the job they came in my apartment to complete, etc.)

Thank goodness my lease is up. I am moving to a much much nicer complex by Perimeter mall. Although it is pricier, I am happy to pay more if it means my safety and sanity.

Hi Thankful I moved, I totally agree with you about everything that you stated about the safety in the complex. I feel the exact same way because I'm a single female that enjoys working out, but everytime I would run and walk (exercising)through the complex, crazy men would drive pass me really slow and bother me. Yes, I know that we have a gym at the complex, but the air is never on and I would feel as if I was going to pass out in there even before I would start my work out.I even had one guy that parked his vehicle right in the front of the gym one evening (before they locked the gym up after close)and just watched me. So I called my boyfriend and talked with him as I walked out of the gym, because I was afraid. All of this made me very frightened to exercise on a daily basis here, so now I have a membership at a gym; Being that all of this has happened and much more, my boyfriend is always telling me to call him as soon as I get in the apartment (for safety reasons)because of the type of tenants that live here now. He told me that I should break my lease and move to anthother complex that is safe, rather than stay here and continue to feel unsafe all the time. Well, that's easier said than done, because I do not want my credit report to be in jeapardy due to this complex; but just as soon as my lease is up I will be moving. Until then I will just live with my eyes opened and watch everything around me and live in fear until then.

Been there done that. I am a MALE. Lived there when it was called "Stonebridge". Car broken into twice. Thugs who lived below me broke into the apt. I can't prove it...but I know it was those bastards. If I had a gun, they'd be dead and I'd be in jail or on death row. I'd would have killed them strictly on principle. Cops showed after I called...officer didn't give a damn....after all, I'm black,,,the complex is predominantly black and no one cares about black people anyway. Sad to see things haven't improved under new name and management. Glad you've moved to someplace better. I have as well.
