Roomy and Spacious

The apartment itself is nice; the Emory is the layout we have, and it's a good space. However, there are some issues with the apartment complex; first, while they claim to be 'pet-friendly', they do charge "pet rent". Secondly, they don't have individual trash receptacles for each apartment building, but only one large dumpster at the front of the complex. It is inadequate for the amount of people, and often overfull. Thirdly, packages often have to be delivered to lock boxes which are somewhat inconvenient.

However, there is a Emory shuttle stop right outside, so I'd still recommend it if you're okay with the above.

I like my apartment/the layout, but not really the rest of the complex & management is slow to respond at times

It has been decent. There have been some issues with maintenance but otherwise this place has been great.

Quiet apartment complex close to the CDC and Emory University. Size of apartment is about 1100 sq. ft which is larger than most in the area and a great price starting at $1250 ($1330 after utilities and pet rent). It's not a fancy and new like the apartments in Midtown or by Ponce City Market, but there are remodeled and have been upgraded. I like that it has an office space/sun room - since I am working from home.

I am pleased with this apartment complex. The staff at the apartment are receptive and helpful and quick anytime maintenance concerns come up. I think it is a good value for the money, although I may try to move in the next year or two to find a less expensive option. The apartment is also right next to a (free) shuttle stop for Emory transportation shuttles.

Great price per square foot at Atlantic Briarcliff- $1,250 for ~1,100 square feet (Includes a balcony and sun room). The complex is upgrading all the time and when maintenance comes, they update fixtures and lights to match what they are adding to new units. Gated, plenty of parking, pet friendly, with fireplace, includes gym, pool and tennis court, on the Emory bus route, half the distance to Emory than from Post Briarcliff. We moved from Gables Rock Springs to get more room, security, and location for our money. We paid more per month at Gables for a 1B1B than for a 2B2B at Atlantic Briarcliff and the staff is a 500% improvement. Get a second floor apartment on the western side of the complex and watch the sun rise over Emory or set over North Druid Hills.

Close to campus and affordable but no perks

Pros: very close to campus and supermarket, executive park shuttle accessible, low cost, 24/7 small gym, maintenance is relatively quick for small issues, flexible with lease extensions, spacious for the price.

Cons: the management is constantly turning over and often useless, renovations are taking forever, they don't lock the gate, required to purchase cable, deceptively low rent because they tack on a big monthly fee, certain apartments near the garbage area deal with pests and rats
