Comforatable

Comfortable and with a very easy commute to the Emory campus
We've had a very positive experience with the leasing office/maintenance during the past two years--they've been responsive/helpful/prompt in helping us to deal with issues--but have heard from tenants who have moved here recently that management/maintenance have been less competent

Great all-around complex

The best things about Post Briarcliff include:
- Great apartment gym
- Close proximity to Whole Foods and Mellow Mushroom
- Close proximity to Emory shuttle stop
- Community patios with gas grills
- Clean premises
- Car wash and vacuum station

The not-so-good stuff include:
- The dumpsters may be quite far for some people
- The campus is large and hilly, so traversing it to get to the mailroom, mailboxes, or dumpsters can be quite a chore.
- A bit pricey.

Good for Med Students

Nice apartments in a good location at an affordable price. Their management used to be awesome, but they've been terrible since MAA took over. I originally chose here because a plurality of med students live here during their M1 year.

Very average apartment, but does the job for grad school. Relatively inexpensive and close to campus.

Love it Here

I've lived here for almost 2 years. It's an easy apartment complex with fairly responsive management, situated close to campus, and a fun/social place! Main complaints is the thin walls but that depends on what unit you get.

Good residence for reasonable price

The apartment is close to the Emory campus, which makes the commute easier. Also close to I-85 and 400. Not a ton of nearby activities, but a number of good restaurants are nearby. One bad thing is that this apartment is susceptible to power outages, which could take a while to fix. Our power went out a few times during summer thunderstorms and winter snowstorms.
Overall, it is a very good apartment complex with spacious apartments, tons of parking, two pools, and a gym. Not luxury, but great for a very reasonable price.

Good choice overall

Being close to campus and right around the corner from a shuttle stop is a huge benefit of living here. In addition, a lot of other MBAs live here so you can often carpool to events/school. We ended up living here b/c I needed a lot of space for my family and this was the best deal I could get that allowed a large dog (80+ lbs).

Overall I am happy with the decision, but I really wish management was more responsive and accountable. Ex of poor management: I wanted to rent a storage unit, but it took over 2 weeks to get me the keys and they didn't even clean the storage unit before I was finally given the keys.

It feels like a very safe location and I haven't had any safety issues during my time here.

Note: I don't really drink/party very much so I did not partake in the Post pre-games but I believe there was always someone willing to host on the weekends.

Lots of Space -- Okay Management

Coming from a more expensive city, Post offers a lot of space for less money. The management is not the most responsive, but its great for space:money ratio and proximity to school.

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.
