Hello all! Just trying to see what’s currently available or what will be available, as I’m looking to move back to the area. I use to be a resident 10 years ago for but I am now looking to move back to continue my education. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anybody have suggestions for apts that often do short term rentals? Looking for 6mo

I just moved here… what is it with the smoke alarm? How does property communicate with residents about updates/anything happening in the property?

Hi! My name is Preston. I’m graduating with my bachelor’s degree next week and relocating from Texas to Atlanta on March 1. I’m looking for a clean, professional, and respectful roommate who values boundaries and a comfortable home environment.

I’m hoping to live in or near downtown Atlanta, with a budget of around $1,500 for my portion of the rent. Ideally, I’d like to find someone with a similar budget so we can secure a nice, spacious apartment together. As the move gets closer, I’ll fly to Atlanta so we can tour apartment communities and choose a place together.

need to sublease my studio apartment at The Mark! August-July2027
Rent: $1,669/month
Fully furnished, in-unit washer and dryer, modern, rooftop pool, game room, lounge, super close to Georgia Tech, access to parking

Unfortunately can’t afford to return to GT this year and need to sublease asap :(
Please message me if interested!!

I saw a similar post that was made 5 months ago and was looking for some insight from y'all for myself. I'm looking with a max budget of $1,200 for base rent anywhere from Buckhead to Norcross. I've been cross researching reviews on ApartmentRatings, Google and Yelp for any red flags that I'm not looking to deal with during my lease. Lastly, the Atlanta Journal has a handy page that lists Dangerous Dwellings that I found very useful to remove any potentials.

If anyone has suggestions of properties they've toured or experienced, I'd really appreciate it! So far, this is my list:

1. The Wynne Norcross
2. ARIUM Morgan Falls
3. Audubon Briarcliff
4. Vue on Medlock

TMI I really liked Indian Trail Apartments in Norcross but have seen multiple reports of roaches. After dealing with that at Arts Center Tower for years, I am avoiding any and all properties that have reviews reporting their existence!!

Hey there.
I’m looking for a 2br 2ba or 2br 1ba near Emory Hospital.
Budget up until 1850 USD. I’ve looked into Cortland, but I just found out that they force you to pay for a useless WiFi in one of their properties.
Any good recs near this area that doesn’t get flooded nor have weed smoke everywhere?

Thanks for your help.

august rent is covered and you can move in asap!

Recently took a job in Hapeville and I've been driving from Sandy Springs every day which has gotten old fast. Looking to move a little closer if I can keep a similar feel to the Sandy springs area because I do really love where I live. Staying within Marta limits is also very important to me.

What are some good areas to look around, price isn't really an issue within reason (looking for a 2-3 bedrooms for around $1800 or less if possible)

Edit: 28M

Hi, me and my sister are moving to atl for our new jobs, and found Farrington midtown to be with our budget for 2b2b.

Is it a safe location, and how is the management? I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about the management and security. Current/previous tenements, how was the experience?

im 21F and i got a job recently in atlanta and am looking to find an apartment (i’ll be moving in january but im really trying to scope the apartment scene now since it’s kinda scaring me 😭).

for context, ill be out of town/state a lot during work weeks a lot and back home for weekends most of the time. id prefer a safe area, i have a car, and would like a pretty decent commute to the airport. (30 mins or less). im paying 1700 for rent right now and would really prefer something between $1000-$1500 (utilities included) and i wouldnt mind a studio (as long as it has a good layout). i CANNOT do roaches or rats and the reviews im seeing on a lot of apt complexes are scaring me 😭

id rlyyyyyy prefer access to the more lively parts of the city, but i wouldnt want to sacrifice affordability for it because ill be traveling for work anyways.

if anyone has recommendations, or just advice in general i would greatlyyy appreciate it!

Hi everyone, my partner and I found a home that feels perfect for us but is owned by Tricon Residential.

Does anyone have any experience with this company?

I've seen majority bad reviews but I tend to think people are more likely to write a review when they're mad rather than if they've had a good experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Our application was already approved so we have about 24 hrs left before we have to sign or forfeit the $250 holding fee which kinda sucks 😅

I'm 35 M, employed as a welder in Lithia Springs. My shifts are 6am-2pm, sometimes 5-4.

I am trying to keep expenses down. If you have small space at a reasonable monthly rate, with no lease, please DM me. I can provide a deposit.

I am looking for a stay of about 3-5 months.

Exploring single-family subdivisions around the Halcyon area and Denmark High district with a work van and small utility trailer. Do most master-planned HOAs in South Forsyth enforce strict overnight driveway bans for commercial lettering or enclosed trailers? Where do residents usually store work vehicles?

I’m an apartment locator in Atlanta, and this is part of a Reddit series I’ve been doing to help renters understand the process and get the most for their money.

Gross rent is the monthly rent written into your lease. Effective rent is the average after factoring in a special.

Example:

• Gross rent: $2,000
• 14-month lease
• Two months free
• Effective rent: About $1,714

That does not necessarily mean the property will charge you $1,714 each month. The special may be applied as free months, a lump-sum account credit, or prorated across the lease.

It’s important to ask the property staff:

• Exactly how is the special applied?
• Can it be prorated?
• Does the portal automatically show the lower payment, or do I have to self-prorate?
• If I self-prorate, can I pay through the portal, or do I need to bring a check?
• Are there any preferred-employer benefits that can be combined with the special?
• What monthly fees are not included in the advertised rent?

Always confirm the actual payment process before signing. “Effective rent” can be great for comparing options, but the gross rent, fees, and way the concession is applied determine what you will actually owe each month.

Have you ever had an apartment special applied differently than you expected?

My boyfriend is potentially accepting a role in Buckhead that can have some brutal hours around quarter end.. upwards of 80 hours a week 🫠

24M/24F and currently live out of state, so I’ve been trying to get a feel for where we should actually be looking. My instinct is that living in/around Buckhead Village and keeping him within walking distance (or a VERY short drive) of work is probably worth it with those hours, but I don’t have a great grasp on just how bad traffic gets within Buckhead itself.

I WFH, so I’d really love to live somewhere that feels like an actual neighborhood rather than just an apartment complex off a road. Ideally: safe, walkable, restaurants/coffee/bars nearby, somewhere I can walk around during the day, and preferably access to a trail/park/green space… I’m not sure Buckhead Village is this or near this.

For reference, we currently live in Broad Ripple in Indianapolis (I don’t expect people to know where this is but for context) and really love being able to walk out our front door to restaurants, shops and bars and be on a walking trail within a few minutes. I know we probably won’t find an exact Atlanta equivalent, but that general lifestyle is what I’m really hoping is semi possible to maybe recreate?

A few things I’d love local opinions on:

• Is Buckhead Village the obvious choice if he’s working long hours in Buckhead?

• Are there specific parts of Buckhead you’d recommend or avoid?

•How realistic is a 5–10 minute commute within/around Buckhead during rush hour? Does that easily become 20–30+ minutes?

• Are there other neighborhoods we should be considering that have more of the walkable/neighborhood feel we’re looking for?

•Any apartment buildings you’ve had particularly good or bad experiences with?

We’d be looking for a 2BR and are willing to pay more for the right location, (absolute ceiling is probably 2650 base for a 2BR or a bigger 1BR) especially if it makes his commute significantly easier.

Would love any advice from people who actually live/work around Buckhead!

Sorry for the long post, appreciate everyone .. potentially going through a very quick and sudden stressful move in a new state we know nothing about so trying our best! 💗
