Resident 2009 - 2011

9/12/2011

I've lived at Brighton Park for two years, and I have nothing to complain about. The apartments were built 14 years ago, but they're still nice, well-constructed (brick), and they've been kept up really well. These are not luxury student apartments, nor are they trying to be. There are students here, but it's not party central. Most people keep to themselves, and it's a safe and quiet place as far as Athens apartments go. I'm not sure what kind of background checking is done before residents can sign a lease, but it's seemed to work pretty well. The management company, Lane Properties, is a family operation based in Athens. From my experience with them, they are a lot more committed to making sure their residents are happy than some of the other management companies in Athens, who don't put forth much effort because they know they can rent to desperate students and/or low-income citizens. There is no corporate office on the other side of the country they make you call for big problems like I've had to do at complexes I've lived at in the past...the main office is right around the corner. The maintenance workers have always responded to my requests quickly (usually within 24 hours for non-emergencies), and I've never had a problem getting things fixed or replaced if needed. There is a pool and gym on site, but again, don't expect luxury-style amenities. If you just want to use the treadmill or take a dip in the summer months, you can do that. Sometimes there have been problems with non-residents using the facilities...this summer they sent out a memo saying they'd shut the pool down if they saw anyone unaccompanied who didn't live there. Seems heavy-handed, but it's all to keep the place safe. There's also a city bus stop right in front of the complex, which is convenient. Overall, these are some of the nicer apartments I've lived in...especially for Athens. I've heard some horror stories about other places that appear to be nice or even luxurious. No surprises here...you get what you pay for.
