Good experience

Overall Post Briarcliff has been a good experience and 100% met my needs for my 2 years here in Atlanta. The apartments are spacious and the complex offers a lot of amenities. If you are looking for a place with character, then this complex isn't for you.

Has everything I want in an APT but...

I'm an owner of a dog that needs a lot of exercise and there is no dog park in close proximity where I can take him. I've had a great experience thus far and would recommend Post to a lot of people, but I went from taking my dog to a dog park every day to relying on walking him and throwing tennis balls to him in the tennis courts.

Post Briarcliff

Very well maintained apartment complex. Good community, probably 70% residents are going or went to Emory.
Very decent gym.
Apartments are ok.
Maintenance staff has always been very quick to respond.
Location is great. Whole foods next door and everything else is close by.

Not international student friendly

My room is at the terrace level and it is very dark. People should take care of the furniture, which is very annoying for international students. The shuttle is not very convenient. Overall, Post is good for people with car and furniture.

Great for those new to Atlanta!

I've really enjoyed living at Post. Simply because many new grad students end up living here (undergraduates aren't allowed), this ends up being a pretty social spot as many classmates will live here. For that reason, it's great for those who are new to Atlanta due to proximity to those people!

Business Student Hub

While the apartments are nice, spacious and safe, my favorite part about Post Briarcliff is that SO many of my fellow students live there. I love bumping into friends each day and being able to catch up. It's also nice to walk over to a friend's house or make dinner together.

Post is standard, but great

Post Briarcliff is what could be referred to as '90s luxury. No marble counter tops, but speakers embedded in the wall you need a receiver to plug into. That being said, it is very close to school, close to all the places MBA students like to go, and a huge number of MBA students live there. I think it is the perfect place to live while an MBA student. Nothing to write home about, but everything you need.

Bungalow at Post

We live in a bungalow at Post Briarcliff, which essentially just means our apartment has an attached garage below. It is a great deal, and I notice more variety in apartment layouts than other apartment complexes.
Post is a wonderful apartment complex to live in while at GBS. It is very close to school, and many students live here. A plus is that Post does not allow undergraduates to live here, so it is quieter than some other apartment complexes. We never hear our neighbors, yet it is also a social place- especially by the pool when it's warm out. Management is easy to work with; repairs and maintenance are almost always day-of. Gym is in good condition with several treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines. TVs on every treadmill and elliptical.

Spectacular building

Post Briarcliff is quite spectacular and the gothic-style architecture is stunning. With more than 20,000 square feet, it's the perfect place to throw epic parties. The Olympic size swimming pool adds to the place's glamour as well. Luckily, there are no nearby neighbors so we haven't had any issues with noise complaints. Unfortunately, the mansion is not metro-accessible so it's a little hard to get around, but the four-car garage makes up for that. It would be nice if there were nearby dining and nightlife options. While a little over-priced, the Gatsby Mansion has been an excellent place to live.

Getting around North Druid Hills


North Druid Hills Reviews

150 reviews
It's a prime location for getting around the city! I can get to midtown, Decatur, inman park, etc. in about a 20 min drive or less. The drive to school each morning is about 10-15 mins with little to no traffic. The area is safe with tons of restaurants and shopping. The only downside is that it's not close to any prime nightlife scene, but Ubers aren't too expensive. Incredibly safe which is something I was looking for as a woman living alone. There's no perfect place, but for the amount of space I have (850 sq ft), safety, proximity to school, and easy access to other areas in the city, it can't be beat.
North Druid Hills is a lovely neighborhood and one that I am happy to be living in as my first exposure to Atlanta. There are beautiful tree lined streets and its proximity to Emory is a great selling point.
Beautiful houses and trees, calm, quiet community.
It's an open area with trees. Very close to Emory campus as well as the Toco Hills plaza (Kroger, Publix, many restaurants). Further down Clairmont at the intersection with North Decatur road, there's another Publix as well as some other restaurants in the plaza.

Golden Drop Cafe--which has outdoor seating incase the pandemic is still uncontrolled when you read this--is just 3 min. down the road. Mason Mill Park, which has tennis courts, a pavillion, and walking trails, is also very near.
Very convenient location as far being somewhat close to a lot of different areas though it itself isn't where the night life or all the best restaurant areas are. Lots of grocery options very close by, including Whole Foods, Krogers and Publix.
My wife and I love walking through the beautiful homes in the local neighborhood. It is a very safe area even at night.
You can find any type of store or restaurant that you would ever need within a 5-15 minute drive.
My wife and I go on walks around sunset most nights through the neighborhood. Have never felt unsafe. Neighbors are all very friendly along our walks. Lots of beautiful homes to gawk at.
