The Atlantic

One Word… DIRECPATH
this is one of those buildings under contract with ONE Internet service Provider… DIRECPATH
and if you are familiar… or can run a 5 second google search… you know DIRECPATH internet can literally be as slow as dialup from the 90’s
im a web developer… who works from home and i thought it would be nice to live in Atlantic Station… i had no idea it would take me 8 hours… to download a file i typically get 8 minutes using comcast internet across the street.
ANY BUILDING… under exclusive contract with DIRECPATH is actively screwing its residents for profit… they partner with DIRECPATH and take a financial cut of each account holder
which btw… you are by default since paying DIRECPATH is part of your rent… enjoy :)
wanna have multiple devices and stream some video… FORGET ABOUT IT
wanna video chat with your partner/​spouse while they are out of town… FORGET ABOUT IT
have an xbox or playstation… LMAO…get used to single player buddy!
the worst part is i really like my apartment… and i like The Atlantic
but i feel tricked… and played… how is a programmer supposed to use this BS internet
and i cant do anything about it… because of an exclusive 10 YEAR CONTRACT… WTFFFFFF

While they appear nice on the outside buyers and renters beware. The concierge is and management is very unprofessional and mail gets ‘lost along with packages’ I bought my unit there and the response when the fire alarm went off (I am in a wheelchair) and all the elevators shut down so there is no way to get down in the event of an emergency was to «grab a buddy» I was promised handicap auto doors when I moved in which are law in every facility built after 92 so I can’t even get in the front door or club room

Worst mgmt on the freaking planet! Don’t put yourself through this. Only way I can get over how pathetic the mgmt is by thinking about how much worse the staff is.

My husband and I have been living at the Atlantic for 6 months. We decided on this building because of the large living spaces available. We have experience let down after let down. The only department that responds in a timely manner is maintenance. Good luck if you’d like something delivered to your unit. I have been waiting on a response to reserve the service elevator for over a week.

While the building and the «tomfoolery jewelry» may dazzle you to death, take heed to the warnings herein.
Yes, the floorplans are spacious and well planned, but keep in mind that this was supposed to be a condo building! So, in addition to your higher-​than-​average rental rate you will also pay a quasi-​condo fee. $ 200-​$ 350 for a one bedroom is normal, so be prepared for it. This information is kept extremely quiet during your application process. They simply just want you to sign the lease and quietly bill you. This is much like airlines artificially lowering ticket prices only to gouge you on nonsensical luggage fees
For this price point one would expect service to also be upmarket. It isn’t. Unfortunately, many properties in and around Atlanta (like this one) attract a very bad type of resident (thieves, drug dealers, deadbeats and other unmentionables) which turns the management into near prison-​like employees. This speaks highly of the property’s main motivation: money. The screening process for residents is extremely low and easy to bypass. This makes for an awful combination in the end that feeds itself. Until the screening process becomes a little more strict, this property will continue to piss off residents that actually care about where they’re living and the space they share.
Renter beware… it’s 2013! Also, beware of reviews posted by people with fewer than 50 friends, less than 50 tips and less than 100 reviews! Those are usually fake accounts set up by… you know who.

Sorry, The Twelve, but this mammoth building has dominated your southern view. This is what you see from the 41^st Floor. Corner unit. Sheer Atlanta beauty.

While they are nice apartments/​condos to live in, we are very glad we only did a 6 month lease. They didn’t explain to us that the pool and amenity deck was closed indefinitely because GLASS FALLS OUT OF THE PATIOS. No, they just said it was closed because some glass broke. Like it was a beer bottle or something. Our neighbor got kicked out 2 weeks ago and they never checked her apartment and when we started complaining about smells in our bathroom they thought we were crazy. Turns out the person left a bunch or meat and garbage in the unit next to us. The management is basically incompetent. Oh and the bike rack they told us was already ordered, oops they never ordered it. And the key fob to get to our storage unit, not programmed in over a week.
Update: I’ve raised it to a two star as management has been trying to fix many of the complaints we’ve had. It may even go to a 3 or 4 star when they get the glass fixed and we can use the pool!
