Peninsula at Buckhead Apartments

The accommodations are wonderful and you will amaze your friends with the rooftop pool and pool deck, but unfortunately that is where the love ends. Oh sure, the workers are sugary sweet to you when there is no problem, but they are completely unhelpful when you have any actual problem.
Shall I give examples:
1. The pipe burst in the unit above mine and flooded my entire unit and destroyed some of my property. The leasing office was not concerned with my displacement and I had to demand a new apt unit after mold began to grow on the walls of the apt. The mold grew because they didn’t treat the walls after the initial flood and simply repainted.
2. The parking garage security gate malfunctioned and hit my car. I immediately went to the leasing office to report it and even after reviewing the security footage and seeing that the accident was not my fault, they still refused to repair my car.
The walls are thin, therefore the location of your unit is VERY important. The noise from traffic, the Wet Willy’s across the street, and the Waffle House can get really bad.

I been living here 4yrs now and I love it. The staff are great, they really are hands on they care about the residents and the property. Any problems they deal with it right away, anything needs fixing they fix it right away. A great place to live!

Tenants at The Peninsula at Buckhead formerly Lindbergh Vista have endured a change in ownership, 3 management groups, changes of team members amongst the new management (RAM) and a major renovation. It has not been easy living here going on 5 yrs but worth it.
Now that we have lived through the renovations the building looks phenomenal. Unfortunately, the management is having a hard time with maintenance and housekeeping issues, security and overall consistency with customer service.
We now have Christa who has been responsive and has addressed issues immediately. She has a lot to do to get in front of all the prior damage to the community’s reputation and tenant trust. She has shown me that she has what it takes to make it happen.
Communication is the key! Tenants must accept responsibility for actions as well. Tenants let the homeless people into the public areas. When they are identified do something about it!
I just signed a new lease because I have faith that the community is turning the corner with the management team currently in place.

The Peninsula, formerly Lindbergh Vista, has had a rough road this year since Ram took over but I think we are finally seeing sunshine. Since our latest management team has come on board, they have addressed our concerns quickly, handled the maintenance issues, upgraded the roof and exercise facility, cleaned up the parking lot and even sponsored a wonderful tenant appreciation week. I don’t know any place better in Buckhead for the price. The issue with the fire alarm is the fault of the tenants who do crazy things for no reason. The management staff can’t do it all. The residents now have to step up to the plate and do their part to make it a great place to live.

I moved into this building when it was still called Lindbergh Vista and I loved it! Great location, close to MARTA, and really friendly and helpful staff. Not to mention the pool & rooftop area – both excellent!
However, I just moved out (and even tried to terminate my 15 month lease early) due to this place going downhill in a hurry since RAM took over. They couldn’t get our new online billing system up and running for at least a month or two, which means I physically had to go ask how much I owed (including utilities) and pay by check twice in a row. This doesn’t sound too bad, but with how slow (and understaffed) their office is, this was pretty inconvenient.
I’m also glad i moved out, because my rent was upped from $ 1252/​month (1 bed apt) to a whopping $ 1455/​month. This place is nowhere near nice enough for that. The pool is the only redeeming feature left, and due to the rowdy crew the leasing office has let in, the pool constantly has to be policed and is loud and not fun.
To top it all off, when the apartment complex was doing some mandatory painting, they left my apartment door open – not only unlocked but literally propped open – for 2 days. Two days! Fortunately nothing was stolen, but when I called I only got an apology and a «I hope they haven’t done that to other people” – never offered a credit or anything further than that.
Please do yourself a favor and live somewhere else. There are much nicer places around!

My wife and I have lived in these apartments for over 2 years now and since RAM management took over this community, it has gone downhill so fast.
This place doesn’t feel secure anymore. More than a few buildings access doors are broken and always open. It’s been over a month and they haven’t fixed it yet. You see random people getting in the building without any problem. We bumped into multiple people on the elevators and rooftop who didn’t seem like they lived in the community.
They were supposed to enforce access to rooftop pool by providing wrist bands but we haven’t seen them being enforced and anybody to everybody is up there. Maybe it’s the residents letting horde of people in but that was whole point of having wristband access.
You have to call multiple times to put any maintenance request. I don’t understand how the maintenance request disappear from the system when I personally had gone to the office to put the request in.
Also, there has been incidents of maintenance people coming to the apartment but leaving the doors unlocked after leaving and without leaving a note of them being there. Which is scary considering access gates keep getting broken.
We had to complain multiple times about the stairwell not being clean and trash chutes not being cleaned out regularly before they responded.
Also, the fire alarms go off every other week in the middle of the night. It cannot be a coincidence that same building has alarms going off so often.
The biggest issue, however, is the staff’s attitude. We thought it was just us until we spoke to other residents and everybody had the same opinion. They are never apologetic, and quick to make excuses even when they clearly know they are at fault. When I raised concerns about the security issues, I was bluntly told that these kind of issues happen in any community which is in the urban area. Clearly, it’s our fault for picking these apartments.
Now we just hate having to talk to them for anything. This is a good location, but they are ruining it for everyone.

I am pretty sure this place is soon going to be in shambles. The new management Rams properties sucks big time. Here are the few big concerning issues.
1. The garage doors and the security doors are always broken and I never see an attempt to fix them.
2. The hallways are super dirty and they never vacuum it and always smells weed.
3. The parking lot has lots of cars with no parking permit and nobody takes action against it.
4. Packages have been consistently missing and no measures taken to stop it.
5. NO CC CAMERAS IN THE HALLWAYS!!!
6. Elevator is constantly broken
7. The new management said they are going to repaint the building which they did but only half of it.
8. They never send you an email in regards to your package being delivered to them. God knows how you are supposed to know if somebody sends a surprise.
9. I have seen cars in the closed parking lot with broken windows.
10. Sexual harassment in the parking lots
11. The final big thing THE FIRE ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF EVERY 2 WEEKS (HAPPENED ON JULY 4TH JULY 15TH AND AUGUST 2ND EARLY HOURS). IT HAPPENS AT UNGODLY HOURS AT 2 3 AM IN THE MORNING AND IT TAKES THEM UNBELIEVABLE 3 HRS OR SO TO RESOLVE IT. IT’S A PRANK JOB AND THE MANAGEMENT IS NOT WORKING TOWARDS IT’S RESOLUTION. WE SEE PEOPLE SITTING ON THE ROADS AND EVEN AFTER THE FIRE ENGINE ARRIVES IT TAKES THEM 2 DAN HOURS AS THE MANAGEMENT DOESN’T KNOW THE CODE.
Please do not encourage such businesses and managements. The rents have risen exponentially but the security and management went into abyss. The old management was not stellar but we felt safe and secure and had a feeling we lived in a clean community.
My rating is 0 but Unilocal is forcing me to give a star.

New rooftop, New fitness center, New carpet. BUT please the residents need a new maintenance team !!! Yesterday, fire alarm started at 11pm, the Fire Rescue came but there was no fire and they were not able not disable the alarm. They called the maintenance team but the man didn’t know the code either!!! Most of the tenants slept in their cars until 4am!!! Because the alarm stopped at 4am! That’s unacceptable! This is the sound we heard for 5 hours!

I had to laugh when I read the other review about finding two homeless men sleeping in the weight room as that also happened to me. However, it doesn’t stop there. My friend found a homeless man sleeping in her storage unit not once, but twice. Sad that having a roach infestation seems to pale in comparison to finding homeless men amongst your belongings. What really put me over the edge happened last weekend. I was out of town while they were repainting our doors and when they were finished they didn’t bother closing my door and left it unlocked and opened all weekend. Sadly this is not the first time I have heard of the maintenance men leaving doors unlocked after completing work. To make matters worse when I brought the issue to management they basically wouldn’t accept any responsibility and failed to get back to me after they said they would. Bottom line, avoid this place at all costs, you’re safer living in a cardboard box on the side of the road.

This is a review for the current situation regarding Lindbergh Vista. I have lived here more than 3 years now with little problems until the new management took over about 3 months ago and things have quickly gone down hill regarding maintenance, SAFETY, and overall customer service. I’ll try and give an honest review of the pros and cons and you can make the decision to live here or not…
PROS: great location, close to marta, shopping, buckhead, midtown and great central location. The previous staff, riverstone management was quick with maintenance responses, would have staff consistently on site, and overall the place was fantastic up until 3 months ago. While many rooftop pools are available, I believe the pool (when you can get a seat) is still one of the better pools in the city, not the best but good.
CONS: Safety is a MAJOR issue. My wife attempted to workout and there were 3 homeless people sleeping in the gym, this was the cause of the new manangement not fixing the gate for over a week. Worst part is that this was not an isolated incident!!! Its happened to several residents trying to workout. Maintenance has been horible, they have literally caused robberies. They havent locked residents doors after doing work and people have gone in after and stole items from unlocked units. The Managent company didnt even let the residents know, several residents within the building created an email address and let the residents know because the staff didnt want people to know. Several packages only in the last 3 months have been misplaced or lost. Maintenance issues are resolved over the course of a week when they used to take a day. My unit has had major issues with it and they still havent been resolved.
In conclusion, I have lived here 3 years problem free but If I were looking for a place now, I would seriously go elsewhere. Be Aware of the staff, they are looking to get you to sign a lease and once you do, customer service goes down the drain. Serious Safety issues dont outweigh the great location.

New management is awful. I’ve noticed a huge difference since the new management took over last fall. Maintenance requests take weeks, trash is regularly overflowing the trash chute, and the property has started to look more run down in general. The office staff is awful. They have no package management system to log packages that they receive and even lost my keys once! They also have less staff in the office then the previous management, which means that everything takes longer. Of course this awful service is combined with higher rent and fees. The only time they’re responsive to my emails is when they are related to me paying them money.
I don’t know what their website is talking about when it says «the all new Peninsula» and «completely renovated homes» because it’s the same Lindbergh Vista with a new name and worse management. They’re building two new apartment complexes a block away. I suggest that you look at one of those instead.

I am so disappointed by the management team. Honestly nobody in this office is doing their job properly. They are great for following up with prospects that want to leave here but BE CAREFUL. Once you signed the lease, it will be a total different story: no reply to any of your emails, nothing done when you are requiring maintenance, etc.
Avoid the trouble of living here, this is a daily nightmare.

DO NOT live in this apartment complex! Absolutely not recommended for anybody looking for a reliable or secure apartment complex in the city. I went to work out in our gym that is located on the roof and I found two homeless men sleeping in it. The leasing office was absolutely not cooperative and it has made me lose trust in my security as a resident. In addition the gate to the parking deck is constantly broken and left open for days at a time as it is being repaired.
In terms of maintenance I have had several maintenance requests that were completely ignored with no response for weeks. The trash room is constantly piled high with bags and there is trash littered throughout the parking deck. The trash containers outside are not emptied regularly and are usually in an overflowing state. Trust me, find somewhere else to live, the amount of money paid is not worth the hassle!

So I’m a little nit picky, but some of my cons are really annoying.
Pros:
–Great Location for access to Marta, Home Depot, Target, and plenty of shops
–Amazing Pool
–Fitness center is better than others
–Security for any floor above ground is great
Cons:
–If you lose you’re key, you have two options A) Call a lock smith (Ridiculously expensive. Its an electronic key) B) Wait until the office opens to buy a new one (each key costs $ 75)
–Leasing office sucks. They are never on time to open, and they close when they feel like it. They make you go outside to get in to the office even if you live in the same building as the office. They never email out times when they are going to close early. They post a sign on the back door, believing that is enough justification. I get attitude every time I go in there. They were nice when they were trying to sell me the apartment. They suck now that I’m in it.
–You have to buzz your visitors out if they drive their cars up. Its really annoying because that means you have to ride the slowest elevator in the world down or ride in the car with them to the gate.
–I live above the Waffle house and the noise is horrible. I have friends who live on the other sides of the building and say its fine over there. Just don’t live above the waffle house.
–Because you live next to a Home Depot, day workers congregate across the street. It makes it awkward and sketchy to go running during certain times of the day.
–The door box in building one is usually broken. My friends are never able to call me from it.
In all honesty, I would say living here with a roommate isn’t bad. Living by yourself would be a pain. If you get locked out, you’re screwed.

I recently just moved here and love it. After living at Bryson Square which is in no man’s land between Buckhead and Midtown, It’s nice to live somewhere that feels like you’re living in a city. It’s a younger crowd too which I like. Sure, the parking lot is always congested but you definitely get used to it. I love how I don’t have to plan my trips to get groceries around peak traffic hours because Target is literally in the same shopping plaza and you can take a small street there that is never congested. Might I mention, in that block of stores there is also a post office, a dry cleaners, starbucks, arby’s, QT, home depot, best buy, and a nail salon. MARTA to the airport is also right across the street. I have a beautiful view of chik-​fil-​a from my living room which is AWESOME. What more could a girl ask for? I’m spoiled rotten living here because of the immense convenience. US Café is also in the same building and offers a resident discount making the food there even more reasonably priced. Some downsides include the stairwells smelling like trash, inconsiderate residents jamming the trash chute room with their trash, and the palmetto bug infestation on the roof. I for one have never seen a single bug in my apartment and that was one of the main reasons we left Bryson Square. The parking lot can be tricky. The exit gate requires a resident’s remote so if you have guests over you have to ride down with them to let them out. Also, the lanes are super narrow and blind. They have installed mirrors but I have had many near-​misses with people driving too fast up or down the garage. Other than that I can’t think of anything else. I initially had my doubts of the Lindbergh area but now I’d recommend Vista to anyone looking for some city living.

This apartment building was a nice surprise. It sort of has a «suburbia in the city» appeal. It is in walking distance to a post office, target, Starbucks, waffle house, Tin Drum, a nail salon, a burger joint, Taco Mac, some clubs, and Marta.
The office staff get friendlier the more you interact with them. I am only real familiar with two of them and the two gentlemen are very kind and helpful. The frustration is the «safety» messes with convenience. You must have a remote to exit the parking garage. So if you don’t live here you have to wake up your friend to exit. Frustrating especially if you are a frequent visitor like I was.
I recently started actually living here and the perks are the maintenance, the roof-​top pool and gym, and the newness of the apartments. Buckhead isn’t where I want to really be, but with everything it offers, it is a great location for me right now. Marta being across the street really saved me a few times.

Edit***
Staff is horrible. They say they’ll do something, and they don’t. They even lose your mail/​packages! I mean, come on! There aren’t that many tenants living here! After a few months of living there, you realize that the building was built super quick… as you walk down the halls, you can see that the floors are slanted. I’ll give it 2 stars for the reason that it’s so convenient to everything…
I LOVE it here. The building is less than a year old, and it’s located within walking distance of everything you need (Target, Home Depot, Linens and Things, Starbucks). The apartments themselves are great, but the best part is the rooftop pool. Since it’s such a new building, there aren’t very many residents yet, so it’s still easy to get a spot next to the pool… not so sure how it’s going to be next summer though. There is a small gym with all your basic machines as well. I’m only here temporarily, but if I were to live in Atlanta for good, this would definitely be THE place. :) Minus one star because the pool is only open until «dusk» and the elevators are PAINFULLY sloooow…
