This apartment has major issues. I've been here for a semester and a half, and I cannot wait to…read moremove out. Here are some reasons why: 1) The fire alarm goes off randomly. After one incident of the fire alarm going off for no reason, I learned that the fire department is not even contacted when it goes off. Residents have to call to inform them. Not to mention, the alarm is extremely loud and high pitched, so much to the point that it's painful to hear. 2) The pool is almost always closed. Students go up there to party and leave glass around, so the pool is closed the majority of the time. 3) There is hardly any parking in the deck. Over 50% of the parking is "reserved parking," so you have to pay an extra $25 a month for those spots (on top of the outrageous rent you already pay). Many people refuse to pay that fee, which leaves us all to try and find the leftover spots in the deck. 4) When I first moved in, my air conditioner did not work. It was 80 degrees in my apartment for three days until maintenance finally decided to help. 5) Things get taken from the mail room ALL the time. It is literally just a room filled with everyone's packages. Anyone can walk in and take whatever they want. 6) The parking garage is very poorly set up. It is extremely small, and it's impossible for two cars to make turns at the same time. Multiple cars have scraped their sides on the wall trying to squeeze past another car, including my car. Bottom line, look elsewhere for your apartment. The Standard is NOT worth the money you pay. They do not care about their residents and it shows.

DO NOT LIVE HERE…read more Our experience with Lark Athens has been extremely disappointing, both because of the condition of the apartments and the way management has treated us when we raised legitimate concerns. During my son's time at Lark, we dealt with numerous maintenance and sanitation issues, including: A bee infestation that we reported numerous times. At one point, my son had to kill 14 bees in his bathroom/shower. A leaking water heater that resulted in a significant amount of water collecting over only a few days. Did I mention RATS! MOLD from the leak in the upstairs apartment - that they tried to just paint over Toilet/plumbing issues, including problems present when he moved into his new unit. Ongoing trash buildup and sanitation concerns causing more RATS Parking deck has no light Pool closed because it didn't pass inspection. Multiple maintenance problems that required repeated follow-up. Despite everything he dealt with as a resident, management has now taken an extremely rigid approach to his move-out from one Lark apartment to another apartment directly across the hall. They are charging him 30+ dollars for leaving one bath mat on the floor, and blinds that they claim were damaged. What makes the blinds charge particularly frustrating is that management has acknowledged that a Move-In Inspection was never completed for his previous apartment, meaning there is no move-in documentation showing the original condition of those blinds. I repeatedly requested an actual phone conversation to discuss the situation. Dammian Gonzalez, General Manager refused to speak with me by phone, stating that all communication regarding the dispute would remain in writing. While I understand documenting a dispute in writing, refusing to even have a conversation with a parent/resident who is actively trying to resolve the issue says a lot about the level of customer service we experienced. We have photographs documenting the bees, plumbing conditions, leaking water heater, and the amount of water collected from the leak. These were real living-condition issues--not cosmetic complaints. What is most frustrating is seeing management take such an aggressive stance over relatively minor move-out items while many of the significant maintenance and sanitation problems my son experienced as a paying resident did not seem to receive the same urgency or concern. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend that students and parents think very carefully before signing a lease at Lark Athens. DO NOT LIVE HERE without researching the property, reading the reviews, documenting the condition of your apartment from day one, and keeping copies of every maintenance request and communication with management.

This place is acceptable but it depends. I lived here fall 2013 for just one semester, which was…read moreconvenient since not a lot of reputable places offered a short term lease like that. I did have to pay $100 extra per month to do so. My normal rent would have been $350 but I paid $450 a month. I believe rent has since gone up ridiculously, I think for a regular 4 bedroom it is now $580 instead of $350. I lived in a 4 bedroom apartment and had the biggest room on the side of the apartment that has 3 rooms, so I believe that is bedroom C. My apartment was fine. I only saw one cockroach the entire time I lived there. My only issue is that the apartment common room does not get cleaned in between residents if not all residents move out. In my case this was fine but in some cases, such as my friend, it is not. My apartment only had the issue of a slightly dirty kitchen floor and sticky cabinets. My room was perfectly fine and I had no issues with it at all. There was also the surprise dogs. Upon move in we were suddenly informed that we were going to be living with a dog. We had not gotten any notice prior to this. My roommate had two dachshunds that cried all morning long when she would go to school. It was unexpected to have to live with a dog and it was really annoying to hear them cry all the time. My roommate would lock the door so we were not able to go in there and get the dogs to calm down. One of my roommates was a severe fridge hog and refused to make space for anybody even though half her food was moldy and expired so I just got my own mini fridge. Also, My friend had a completely different situation. She too only lived at Abbey West (which actually used to be the sister property of The Reserve, which is why they look so similar) for a semester because I had recommended it to her and I felt so bad. Her apartment was DISGUSTING because like I said they do not clean out the common room if not everybody leaves. She had mold and smoke damage on the ceiling and the floor was basically black. It was so nasty. There was also a lot of mold and water damage to her windowsill and she said the leasing office said they were going to take care of it but never did. There was free breakfast offered MWF but it was usually snack packs like PopTarts or Danishes. There was almost never anything warm. It's free, I get it, but it still would have been nice to put some more effort into the breakfast. At the time I lived there, there was a private shuttle, but I have no idea if it's still there or what. Our bus driver at the time was Robyn and she had a sign saying no cussing but she swore at us like a sailor all the time. The shuttle was super unreliable and often was broken down with no notice or warning so I would have to scramble to drive to school. There was also a game day shuttle and also a nighttime DT shuttle but it was often too crowded to pick up everybody and people had to wait. People also routinely threw up on the bus and we had to avoid it as much as possible. Parking your own car was also pretty difficult for people who live up front. My ex had to park around building 5 most of the time to visit me when I lived in building 2. Overall it's acceptable if you're lucky to get a good apartment.

As a tenant at Archer apartments for 2.6 years, I feel my review is more than accurate…read more Short story: If you absolutely cannot find anything cheaper and do not want roommates, it is ok. All of the five stars reviews are from broke college kids trying to win $250 (attached screenshot below of the bribery). Be prepared for homeless people dumpster diving daily (around 4pm to be exact), unreliable community washer and dryers, a pool which is rarely useable, and your car being broken into. Additionally, when your lease does end, remember it is a "term" lease so despite being asked to move out by noon on July 21st, you will still have to pay the whole rent for July and end up having two rents for July like me. Also do not expect your security deposit back and plan to owe Rent Athens additional money despite the condition of your apartment. Summary All of this to say, archer apartments are at best two stars. It is cheaply made and Rent Athens could not care less about the property or any of their tenants. There is no reward or thank you for paying your rent early or on top every single month for nearly three years; in fact, you will be punished for simply living in the apartment at your move out. If you can afford anything more, I would recommend going with anyone other than Rent Athens.

I spoke with Morgan, who was extremely helpful in accommodating my needs, and she helped me again when I needed to amend my starting date (after signing the lease). When I moved in, we again changed the lease so that it was a furnished apartment. I love the location. I love the kitchen. All the staff has been awesome, every step of the way, but I'm especially appreciative of Morgan. She bent over backwards to help me, and she was a welcoming face when I moved to a city where I didn't know a soul. There were a couple of minor issues with the apartment when I moved in (bathroom fan was missing, disposal was jammed), which were the result of some renovations. Both issues were fixed within a few hours of letting them know. I love it!

I have lived at River Mill for two years and I have had some amazing experiences here. I understand…read morewhy it has bad reviews but you have to give it a chance and do your research like you would do for any other apartment complex. Building 300 is the best building to live in and pick a room that is facing campus a.k.a. where the you get the most sunlight. You can request all of this when can you sign your lease. It is easy to do and the leasing managers are really nice and will try their best to get you your preferred apartment. I have seen a few roaches in my apartment but honestly over the course of two years I think I've seen a total of 10. As long as you are not a total slob, don't leave pizza boxes out, clean up your dishes, put away your food, the roaches are fine. River Mill offers free pest control to come weekly if you signed up. If I spot a roach I signed up and then I don't see one for a while. Parking is inconvenient for guests. There are a handful of visitors parking spaces near the office and clubhouse, but other than that guess cannot park in numbered spaces or else they will get towed ASAP. I have my visitors park in the nearby UGA: lots when it is after hours. That works out pretty well for me because I am normally on campus until 5 o'clock anyway (when uga parking becomes open) Whenever I send in a maintenance request, the longest I have waited for maintenance to come and fix my problem was about a week and a half. However, lately whenever I send in a maintenance request they get there that same day. People who complain about River Mill honestly just do not do the research and have pulled the shortest straw and live in an older building that has not been kept up with as well as building 300. I say do your research talk to people who live in each building and then let the leasing office know which room you want to live in.
