January 22, 2025My experience at The Connections at Athens has been absolutely fantastic! From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff who made the entire process seamless. The location is ideal—close to campus, grocery stores, and dining options—making it incredibly convenient for students and professionals alike. The apartments are modern, spacious, and well-maintained, with thoughtful layouts that feel like home. The community amenities are a huge bonus—I've made great use ...of the pool, the fitness center, and the study lounges, which are always clean and inviting. The sense of community here is wonderful; neighbors are friendly, and there’s always a fun event or activity happening to bring people together. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, and the management genuinely cares about resident satisfaction. I also appreciate how quiet and safe the community feels—it’s the perfect place to focus on school, work, or just relax.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

January 10, 2025Not amazing, but not bad at all. Generally I would say that the location is pretty great regarding how close the complex is to the highway and grocery stores! However, the maintenance can be a little slow sometimes, and it is quite pricey to live here.Property Manager Responded

We are working to improve our response time and appreciate your understanding. If there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to let us know!

November 6, 2024The Connections at Athens has been an okay experience. The apartment is nice, however, the service is not the best. There doesn't seem to be consistency within management and everyone is confused. I received a call about the cancelling of my least twice and it was three different rates. Also, they clear maintenance requests without actually completing the work. Besides those two issues, they have community building events and care for residents. It is affordable and a good location for ...restaurants and stores, where you aren't required to pay for parking.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
