You get what you pay for if being close to campus is important

Overall, things are OK. As with most landlords/RE agents, once you sign the contract and pay your rent, you're not much of a concern. Much of the construction (shelving, drawers, etc.) are put together pretty poorly or without any real consideration for actual use.

You could do worse, but you could do better

Great value, shadowed by frustrating service

For the amount of money being paid, everything is pretty good. I share an apartment with a roommate and we each have plenty of space with appliances that are functional if not the newest. Unfortunately, the management staff can be incredibly frustrating to deal with. They are usually pretty prompt with responses for maintenance. However, many instances of the office suggesting a problem has been fixed when it has not. This occurred both before lease signing and as a resident.

Good for GBS community

It's been a wonderful experience for me mostly because of the GBS community here. We have had many pool gatherings and parties, often took ubers to parties and bars, and so on. I don't know what I'd have done in quarantine without having my classmates around me. Some people complain about management; I have had no issues.

Great complex close to campus, with Marta/Emory bus services within walking distance. Nice gym and two pools. Management is fair, and is responsive. However, because the complex is so large they are slow to respond to routine issues.

Review title

Good place to live with roommates due to cost, very expensive to live alone and narrow walls can cause some noise complaints

Gated community not far from Emory plus it is next to an Emory bus stop so commute is simple

Good choice for MBA students

Very good choice for MBA students, since it is very close to campus and most of your classmates live here. It has good ammenities and the complex is very quiet. The only negative side is that Management and Mantenance team is not responsive and efficient, so I have had maany troubles with them.

Excellent apartment, but a little far from the school. There are two or three shuttle buses, but the time is unpredictable. It's better to have a car. There is a gym. The environment there is super good.

Complex itself is great, management is a huge pain!

The complex itself is great, very affordable, lots of amenities, close location to campus and other areas, it's on the Emory shuttle line which helps if you don't have a car, and it includes 2 pools, tennis courts, 2 laundry rooms, and 24 hour gym. My primary complaint is the management team makes your move in process extremely difficult, they will charge you for anything and everything unless you confront them about it, a lot of things you need to sign for or deliver in person so it's hard to secure your apartment ahead of time if you're remote. Once you're in it should be okay unless you have any maintenance or billing issues then good luck.

Getting around North Druid Hills


North Druid Hills Reviews

150 reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
