MAA rental review

Pros:
1. Easy access to Emory Shuttle
2. Safe area
3. Other Emory students live in the same community
4. Pool and gym are in the community itself
5. Few good small shops and restaurants are near to MAA

Cons:
1. Management is sometimes rude
2. MAA is a little higher priced than other options
3. No big malls or pubs nearby to hang out. You have to drive a couple of miles to get to party areas.

Management awful

Love that so many people in the class live here but the management is completely unresponsive every time there is something needed.

Very, very convenient for Emory students due to shuttle access to campus. This is the most social location to live in because a lot of people choose to live here.

Great value, great commute!

The apartment feels new and nice. The gym is well equipped and very convenient. The drive to school is only 10 minutes which is great. A great place to be! The gate helps me feel safe. The maintenance has also been pretty responsive. My point off is that there isn't a great walking trail on property - but sometimes I'll ✞ the street and walk in that neighborhood.

Pretty good

MAA is a beautiful location to be in, especially if you prefer being away from the main city and close to campus. It's a gated community with the shuttle stop right outside the complex. It's a bit on the pricier side, so having a couple roommates is better option than living alone.

Good apartment

Apartment is great. Clean and up to date. Trash bins are are far, though, so that’s the only bummer.

Reviewed by Emory Law Student living at Madison Druid Hills
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.
Reviewed by Emory Medical Student living at Belara
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.
Reviewed by Emory Medical Student living at Highland Lake
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.
Reviewed by Goizueta Business School, MBA Student living at Post Briarcliff
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.
