Gables Sheridan

Today I visited this property with my daughter as she is looking to move to a bigger apt. I’d like to say that our experience was great but it wasn’t.
My daughter had a price point but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t or wouldn’t bend (she’s a teacher) and I own a Software Development company. Needless to say «a book was judged by its cover». It was clear she wasn’t wanted there. I plan to bring this to the attention to the appropriate parties as well as the council man.
I guess if you don’t fit their idea of a resident, don’t bother to apply…

I have lived at Gables Sheridan for about 14 months now. The onsite management is exceptional. They even seem to know all the residents by name. As far as apartments go, I would consider the property to be upscale. The kitchens and baths all have ceramic tile floors, tile surround baths and granite counter tops.
If you’re considering living here, my only advise would be to stay away from the loft units. My loft apartment has a very large window on the west side of the building and the top of the frame is about 20 feet high. For some odd reason, when these apartments were build, window treatments were hung in every window except the one large window that is impossible for the typical tenet to reach. Everyday I come home, I am absolutely blinded by the evening sun.
I’ve asked the management to hang a window treatment in this one window and I was told that the corporate office has stated it’s my responsibility. How am I supposed to do that? I would either have to own a 20 foot ladder or rent a scissor lift.
Well, until my lease is up I suppose I’ll just keep an extra pair of sunglasses in my kitchen.

On the day of 7÷18÷15 I got a new ninja zx10r, tools were stolen out of my truck that night. One week Later my new bike was stolen. Nice looking apts. Bad crime. Unsafe area! Property has done nothing to beef up security. I was also moved to a different unit bc my previous unit was infested with ants and silver fish. Put it this way… I wouldn’t want my family living here. Looks can be deceiving. Crime is especially bad here. You have to watch your back here. Neighbors leave trash everywhere the whole property is very bad. Don’t move here. Trust me. It’s bad. And although crime is everywhere it’s really bad here… Go to Greystar properties! Much better… Also the hallways smell like urine more often than not and so do the elevators

They’re pretty but if you want a clean, pest free apartment with a helpful staff this is NOT the place for you. Upon move in there was an any infestation and mouse droppings in the cabinets. The entire apartment was filthy and the microwave was broken. And the door sweep was causing serious damage to the floor. The carpet is old but was shampooed, I think it needs to be replaced. An extremely disorganized move in and leasing process, by far the worst I’ve ever had. I continue to have pest problems if I do not request pest control every single week — and they won’t come to your apartment unless you make a request. In fact there’s a spider repelling from my ceiling above my bed as we speak! Staff is average at best and not very friendly. Service requests take forever. Apparently there’s been a shooting here and multiple car thefts, or at least that’s what I’ve heard. The finish level is high but everything else totally takes away from that. DO NOT LIVE HERE. I’m stuck in my lease now and I HATE moving but the longer I’m here the more I want to leave. Not sure why the other reviews are so good, maybe the place has recently gone downhill, but it’s like they’re not even describing the same property.

Lived here for 2 years and overall has been one of my favorite places to live thus far. The pool is amazing; almost feels like you are living on a resort. The office staff is courteous and helpful. I highly recommend this place!

I lived at Gables Sheridan for 2.5 years. It is a well run complex. I rented a 2 bedroom unit that had great closet space, a kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters. The bathrooms were huge. The pool area is absolutely awesome. For the money, it’s the best complex that I looked at before making a choice on where to lived.

I have been living at Gables Sheridan since August ’08. For the most part, it is an ok place to live. Here’s an honest break-​down of the place:
The Good:
1) The apartments themselves are very nice. Every unit comes with a washer/​dryer and all the appliances are top notch. Granite countertops too.
2) The location. Target Greatland and I-​85 are a stone’s throw away, as is a QT. There is also a Walgreene’s being built near by and a Publix is just down the road.
3) The pool is awesome. Getting a chair isn’t a problem if you get there before noon.
4) They have a very nice Business Lounge that has a pool table, TV, and refrigerator. Great for hosting parties.
5) Staff. I have not had problem with the staff and they have always been very friendly and helpful.
6) They have an option to pay rent online, which I take full advantage of.
7) Plenty of cabinet space.
8) Flat rate for water each month.
The Bad:
1) The parking garage. The passageways are very narrow and people drive like maniacs in there. I am surprised there aren’t more head-​on collisions.
2) Vandalism/​security. My car was keyed while parked in the deck and the gates are broken a lot .
3) Noise. While I have a unit that does not have neighbors on either side of me (to the left is the stairway and to the right is a storage unit), I can still hear everyone walking by and talking. The inconsiderate a – hole who lives above me stomps around like an elephant, which causes the lighting fixtures in my kitchen to rattle.
4) Price. The cheapest unit you can get goes for over $ 1000/​month. And it is only 640 sq feet with no balcony.
5) The water pressure in the shower is TERRIBLE. Granted, they use a water-​saving shower head, but it hardly saves water when you have to stay in the shower twice as long.
The So-​So
1) This is just a personal preference, but I do not like that the washer/​dryer is in the bedroom area.
2) The closet space. Hardly what I would call «walk in»
3) The gym. It’s small, but rarely crowded when I go.
4) Valet trash pick up. It is not an option to have this service…$ 25 is automatically charged to you every month whether you actually put your trash out for them or take it to the dumpster yourself (since they don’t pick up on Friday or Saturday). This could also be listed under the «bad,» depending on how often you use it.
So there it is. If you decide to move here, I strongly recommend you get a top floor unit.

I’ve been here about a month now and the place has exceeded expectations so far.
Pros
1. Maintenance — Fixed my one problem right away and when I had a question about the fix the fella (Dave) called back right away.
2. Trash pickup — Place your trashbags into the provided trash can and then place the can outside your door at around 8PM. Next morning, the trash is gone. Magic.
3. Location — This is what finally sold me on Sheridan over other comparable communities. Before renting here, you should drive down Sheridan Rd. toward Cheshire Bridge (apts will be on your right). It’s a lovely/​safe neighborhood. Then, when you want to venture out, I-​85 is right here, Briarcliff is right here (Decatur) and Cheshire Bridge/​Lenox Rd is a mile away.
Cons
Not too bloody many. The parking deck can be a bit dicey, but that’s the nature of the beast — it’s laid out very well and it’s plenty wide, but people will invariably take their half right down the middle. So, to get around this horrible con, one should ‘be careful.’ ;0)
If they’re still running lease specials, this place should be on your short list. If the specials are over, then it’s still worth a very close look. Negotiate.
