The location is within walking distance of the main campus as well as the multi-modal bus station. This means that having a car to get to the medical campus is not a requirement. There are two parking spaces assigned to each unit . The building is quiet and each unit is well equipped with its own washer, dryer, and dishwasher. During the pandemic, it was a great place to be safely located for an extended period. It is within walking distance of Dudley Park - which helped to relieve cabin fever while maintaining social distance. The staff kept things going smoothly. Delivery services were available due to our downtown location. If you plan to return to Athens and want a safe, well maintained environment, this is the place.

Where to start? The…read morelocation is impeccable. When I first found out about its location, I was initially hesitant because it's on Alps/Broad, so I thought it would be loud... but it's incredibly quiet. There's no obnoxious noise and the residents are courteous. The complex is clean. There's no trash or litter around anywhere. There's a small fenced in area for dogs to run around, which is great. Not many apartments have that. The apartment complex itself is a gated community, so that leaves you with a sense of security. The pool is clean, too. Location!!! WOW the location is AWESOME! There's a back gate to the rear end of the Beechwood shopping center... right across the street from Kroger (and also Chipotle, which takes all my money). It's within (EASY) walking distance between both the Omni Club and BodyPlex. The staff is also awesome. Incredibly accommodating and always willing to address any issues you may have. They hold your USPS packages in the office (FedEx/UPS are left at your door), so you have to go there to get it, but it's really no big deal--there's always somebody there to get your stuff (and boy, did I order a LOT of stuff when I moved in!) One of the coolest things? You can pay your rent through a Visa/Mastercard, so you can maximize benefits of cashback/miles/rewards while paying rent. Neat. As long as I'm in Athens, I plan on living here. Out of 5 stars, it's an easy 5+++. 11/7/2014: It has come to my attention that the carpets are replaced every 5 years, which isn't a big deal realistically, however when the previous tenants of your apartment had two dogs and apparently weren't taken out frequently enough, it can become a problem. I recommend using a blacklight in your apartment prior to moving in--something I did not do until just recently, and the discoveries were quite harsh and abrasive. Unfortunately, when brought to the attention of the management, they informed me that there was nothing they could do. I still think this is the best apartment complex in Athens, but DEFINITELY make sure you know what's going on before you get a room! :)

I have lived at Beechwood Pines for 4 happy years. This is an excellent community with responsive…read morestaff and courteous neighbors. It has all of the standard amenities for a reasonable price. My apartment is an excellent 1-bedroom layout with plenty of storage and living space. The few maintenance requests I've had have been addressed within 24 hours. My only very minor complaint is that the complex is right behind a shopping center that sometimes leads to early-morning noise due to dumpsters being emptied and trucks being unloaded. This is only an occasional problem. My apartment is also directly adjacent to the new dog park, so I hear some barking occasionally. People are respectful though and don't tend to walk their dogs at unreasonable hours. Overall this is a great complex and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I've had a great experience here. Edit: After moving away from Athens to my new apartment I have realized just how lucky I was at Beechwood Pines. It has quiet, respectful neighbors, a courteous office staff, super fast and competent maintenance people, and generally well-kept, clean facilities. I'm sorry I had to move away. Thanks for being a great apartment!

Living at The Flats last year was the easiest and most convenient living situation I have…read moreencountered since I moved to Athens (and I've lived in a house and on Milledge since then). The property is close enough to downtown that you can walk and my classes were also close enough to walk to as well. All of the delivery options in Athens delivered here which was incredibly convenient for any time I was too lazy to leave, but there are 2 Kroger's and a Publix super close by if making your own food is your style. I never encountered cleanliness issues that weren't quickly resolved as soon as the office opened and everyone in the office was super helpful whenever anything went wrong. The maintenance staff addressed issues in a timely fashion and even replace lightbulbs for you (what a win). Trash chutes were occasionally down, but a lot of times if you went down a floor you'd find the mysterious trash chute someone left open (preventing the other ones from opening) and you could easily toss your trash in. Sometimes you might come home to find someone in your covered spot, but you can stop by the office and leave a passive aggressive note on the car and you're good to go - plus you can just go park in an uncovered spot so it's not a huge deal. The pool and both gyms were frequently empty and getting a study room was usually easy as long as it wasn't midterms or finals. Free printing is another big point from The Flats from me because paying for printing on campus is a hassle when you're constantly stuck behind people printing 50+ pages or when your own printer doesn't want to cooperate. It's easiest to bring your own paper, but the office staff was always happy to give us some when we needed it as well. The complaints about furniture don't make much sense to me because any time I have gone into any other apartment complex that provides furniture I have seen the exact same furniture - purchase a mattress topper and some fun pillows and you're good to go. Living at The Flats is really the best option if you want to be close enough to campus and downtown to be apart of everything, but live far enough away that there aren't parties going on every night.

They will charge you to replace things that you did not even damage, did not touch, or at most have normal wear and tear. Be careful and clean the apartment like a five star cleaning service before you move out. They also raised rent $250 after one year and are trying to add renovated apartments to units that don't even need renovating. The "upgrade" is just to have white cabinets instead of brown cabinets and to replace refrigerators in perfect condition to ones that now have a water dispenser. Now I know where they're getting all the funds for all the upgrades and snacks for the resident because it's hidden in the constant up charges, fees, and charging residents to pay to replace items that are in just fine condition after move out that they did not even touch.

Our experiences with Paragon Luxury Apartments (formerly known as Pointe Grand Athens) have not…read morebeen great, and I would NOT recommend any woman(especially if you are single or do not live with a male) to live here. We have had two attempted break-ins in the past week and management has shown absolutely no empathy or concern or reliable solutions. For context: they do not have double locks or regular key locks, only 1 passcode keypad. The first incident occurred at 2 a.m. on July 19 when both my husband and I heard multiple taps on our keypad while we were in the living room. Initially, we dismissed it as a possible mistake by a drunk individual. However, the second incident happened just 2 days later on Saturday, July 21, at around 2:30 p.m., leaving no room for doubt. My husband witnessed someone slowly and deliberately pushing down the handle while pushing in our door, clearly trying to enter our apartment quietly and unnoticed. The second attempt has confirmed that the first was not an accident or a single random break-in attempt or a drunk "mistake," and we now feel targeted. We reported it to the management expressing our concerns and fears, and asking to terminate the lease early due to concerns about our safety, they told us they were absolutely not liable for our safety and would not let us terminate the lease early just because someone's trying to break into our place, even if we try and get camera recording evidence, it still does not matter to them at all. Please see the voice recording of our conversation with the manager of Paragon Luxury Apartments. These incidents have left us in a constant state of anxiety and fear. We should not have to live with the feeling of paranoia or the need to physically defend ourselves in our home. Yet we will still have to submit a 60-day notice (which means we have to pay 2 more months' rent before we can leave), AND a one month rent's worth of termination fee. The manager ALSO stated that normally you would have to pay back the move-in specials if you want to terminate the lease early, like gift cards they gave you when you signed the lease. Now we are trapped and have to sleep with one eye open. Additionally, they DO NOT ALLOW sublets, so if you are a student, it can be very frustrating. When we first moved in, nothing was actually cleaned. There was dog hair all over the dryer, human hair all over the bathrooms, loose screws, grease all over the cabinets, etc. There have been german roach infestations in buildings, and trash is almost never picked up on time. I am trying to be fair in this review, and I do think this would be a great place to live if you are lucky enough to never have safety concerns because most of the staffs are very friendly and helpful when it comes to small issues like maintenance and questions. But once serious problems like break-ins occur, they do not have any power or say in your matter, and you would have to communicate with the manager, whom we have had extremely bad experiences with. All in all, We do not wish this terrifying experience on anyone.

I really wanted to like this apartment as it was the cheapest studio apartment in all of Athens…read more($915/mo) but it came at a price. When I moved in, there were more than a handful of problems: - Multiple lights out - A broken AC monitor - A broken garbage disposal - Broken handles in the bathroom - Cockroach-infested area - Random Christmas tree parts in the water heater closet I also had to get the entire water heater replaced because I had ~5 minutes of hot water when I showered. There are still lights that do not work (that I cannot fix as the ceilings are 10ft high) and in the bathroom there's this amazing little dim light that showcases all of the cockroaches in the ceiling if you turn the other lights off. It took about 4 months to get rid of them as CollegeTown maintenance did little to nothing to help fix the problem, and I had to pay for an exterminator with my own money. They use Community Water for their water (no other option) which is arguably the worst water company in all of Athens. I have the most expensive water bill out of all of my friends and always try to conserve as much water as possible. Additionally, the walls are PAPER THIN. I generally don't mind dogs barking but there are dogs constantly barking here - you will get no peace EVER especially if you are in Building A. You can hear entire conversations in other people's apartment from yours. Property managers don't seem to care about the noise levels or the fact that residents haven't been able to get in one of of the two doors of the building for months due to the fact that they never sent anyone the new passcode. When leasing your apartment out, they barely give you a days heads up that they'll be showing your apartment - with all of your things in it - to random people and you're expected not to be there when they do. There is no on-site recycling (which is actually illegal in Athens as there is an ordinance stating there has to be a recycling option if there are 2+ tenants living in a building). I had a time when I came back to my apartment with human feces and sewage on the floor because a neighbor flushed makeup wipes down the toilet and the plumbing company they hired messed up and cleared the blockage into my apartment. Took weeks to get them to help me with my claim to renter's insurance as my furniture, clothes, and shoes were all damaged. As an undergraduate or even graduate student living in Athens, I promise the aesthetic of this apartment is NOT worth all of the trouble you'll have to go through living here.
