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
