March 5, 2025Spacious units, great amenities & friendly staff! Maintenance is quick, but parking can be tricky. Overall, a solid place to live! One drawback is that the walls are very thin, I can hear my neighbors music, and even within the apartment itself if I'm sitting in my room, I can hear everything happening in the living room etc.Review from Apartments.com

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.Property Manager Responded

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
