Solace is right next to a bunch of places on Peachtree St, so it is really fun to live there. There are bars, restaurants, and gyms. There are pet cleanup stations everywhere if you have a pet. Peachtree ST can be loud, but that's living in the city. The location is convenient to the highway.

There are a lot of maintenance issues. While we've been here, there has been multiple flooding incidents in rooms next to us. (some which I know is not the residents fault, some that could be their fault). There was a big break-in incident where 30+ cars got broken into overnight when the door of the garage was broken. There are homeless people who get on the elevator to just ride it up and down. However, for this location, it is cheap. It is close to the Fox and in walking distance to any type of food you can think of, and many retail stores. Maintenance issues are to be expected since it's an old building and a good price compared to others in the area. And as long as you keep your personal door locked, and use precaution when getting on elevators and coming in and out of the building, safety can be improved.

WHAT'S GOOD:

The location of Solace on Peachtree could not be beat! The entrance to the North Ave MARTA station is located directly across the street. I use it every day to get to work.

You're in the heart of Midtown, so there are plenty of bars, restaurants, grocers, pharmacies, you name it.

There are on-site events each month for residents that are free. (ex., Pizza & Beer Night, Breakfast to Go, Christmas Party, etc.)

THE FACTS:

The building does come with a gated parking garage for an additional $100/month. If you don't mind walking a bit, the lot across the street is half the price.

Laundry is on site, but you must pay for it.

Small workout facility.

Pets are allowed, but dogs must meet a certain weight limit, and there is an additional fee per month.

Utilities were previously included in the rent for a flat $190 (gas, water, trash, electric), but recently policies made by the parent company have changed that. Speaking of the parent company...

WHAT'S BAD

Solace staff are very friendly when you visit the office. However, the property owners, CF Lane, stir up quite a bit of trouble and create controversy among the residents (i.e., changing utilities prices in the middle of everyone's lease). Would definitely like to see this property come under new ownership.

Solace is one of the older buildings in Midtown, so there is constantly construction and maintenance issues with the building. Bugs can be a problem too.

OVERALL OPINION:

Location is what keeps me here, and Solace is one of the cheaper places you'll find in Midtown. If you can put up with the construction and flaky management, you'll be okay.

The location is great.. Building is old and could use alot of repair. Mangt is not very concerned and will get to it when they find time. They make it look all great when you tour but the apt you will get is way less quality then what you see. Make them show you the actual apartment.
