Ansley Forest Apartments

Great apartments now that they are renovated, but there have been an alarming number of crime reports recently. The office sends out notifications every time there is a crime (including armed robbery and car theft) yet always says it is not responsible for our safety. The complex needs a gate or some level of security. Most complexes of similar caliber in Atlanta DO attempt to keep their residents safe with gates, codes, and access cards. I am a young lady and now am afraid to come home after midnight on the weekends because that is when most of the crime happens! Not how I want to feel in my own home!

After explaining my previous experience via my last review, I was contacted by manager Rob. Rob apologized for any ‘disconnect’ we had on communication between myself and the property.
He said my application was approved and that he would hold the apartment for 3 weeks. All-​in-​all this was very redeeming on Ansley Forests’ part. I appreciate the service and have updated my review accordingly.

I lived there for two years. The place is old and not well maintained. Service when needed was fair, not great. I had a special needs cat who died. We had accidents. I ask to have my carpet replaced and that I would certainly share some, even all of the cost. The management was very odd about it. We discussed several different options, none of which were acceptable to them. I was a good paying tenant and never caused them problems. I just tried to work with them. They would not work with me. Very strange, indeed. Madison Properties manages it. The units are way overpriced, not insanely cheap because of the location. The owner lives in Italy. Suggest you try someplace else. Of course, the Atlanta rental market is very expensive because of all these ding-​dongs who bought houses they could never afford. Nome sayin? Atlanta is the default mortgage capital of the U.S. These people are flooding the rental market, and landlords are laughing all the way to the bank. Yes, I also agree be careful with them. Their applciation and credit check fees are high and they charge you like crazy if you have a pet.

I have lived here for three years and still love it. The people who live here are very chill and great neighbors. A lot of the tenants have lived here for 20+ years and have even turned patches of grass in the complex into gardens. The only draw back when I first moved in was that there was no fitness center, but the LA Fitness across the street is great and the neighborhood is wonderful for jogging. These apartments are INSANELY cheap for where they are located. You are walking distance to Publix, Kroger, Trader Joes, TONS of bars and restaurants, and Piedmont Park. Not only that, you are right on the interstate. If I didn’t have to grow up and get a house, I would seriously live here for ever.
Also, I have never had any problems with maintenance. The complex is managed by only two people, Rob and Monique, both of whom are great and always available for tenants. The maintenance guys are amazing too. They always take the time to say hello to me when I see them. The buildings are old and they fix things as soon as they break, usually upgrading them. I just got a new stove and a whole new bathtub and shower, because they had broken. This happened within an hour of me calling, and they followed up with a call the next day to see how everything went.
It’s a great place to live!

My first time here I was visiting a friend. I have never really been a tenant but can tell you the outside doesn’t match the inside. His place was rather nice and it looked very well maintained. The complex is very easy to handle and it is in a very great prime location. The only thing around this area that can get really frustrating is the traffic. The intersection of monroe and piedmont can get heavy at times.
