Ascent Athens

I love my apartment, the space is huge, and exactly conducive to what I wanted. However, it is incredibly expensive on one's own, so I will have roommates next year.

The apartment itself is very nice; appliances are new and in good shape. Management is very responsive with service orders and pest control issues. There is a small gym in the complex, and an amazon locker. If you're looking to walk downtown, however, this would not be possible.

I've had no problems with security issues, but could see it being more of a problem than in a large complex with a secure door.

The apartment complex is quiet, and the surrounding area is well-kept and clean. It has a dog park and pool. It is further back from the street so it is very quiet with lots of trees. The apartments themselves are new so they are nice. Rent did increase about $200/year for our 3 BR/3 BA, and I expect it will increase by that much again next year. Parking is ample and free. It is a few miles from school so you can't walk, but it is a short drive to school. There are also buses that stop at the apartment entrance. Maintenance is pretty good at responding to requests timely, and since they changed management about a year ago, management is much more responsive to issues. This apartment is 5 minutes from Public, Kroger, and various restaurants. The apartment isn't gated, but there have not been any safety incidents since I moved in.

Expensive, but great location and management staff!

Although I pay more than I would like, the rent amount is determined based on fair market value. This complex is filled with students as well as families and has apartments and townhomes. It is relatively quiet with the exception of college student parties at the pool, usually only on warm weekends during the school year. The management team is very helpful and responsive. The apartments are new and very clean and spacious, and parking is easy and not limited to certain spots or a certain number of parkers.
