77 12th

My husband and I lived in this building for two years and loved it. We’re moving out now because we need more space for a growing family. Overall, it was a beautiful apartment building with great amenities and an amazing location (though the rent is priced to reflect that!).
Pros:
*Location: The apartment is in Midtown, in a great location. There are three great restaurants in the building — Tabla (Indian), Princi Italia, and Burgerfi — and many, many more restaurants within just a couple blocks. You’re also only a few blocks from theaters, museums, shops, and lots of other things. It’s a very fun and vibrant area.
*Apartments: The apartments themselves are really beautiful, with floor to ceiling windows, bamboo floors, and nice, new appliances. We lived in one of the corner units with the square patios, and loved the light and the outdoor space. We never had to turn on any lights during the day because we got so much natural light. We once thought about going on a «staycation» at one of the local hotels, and then realized that our apartment is actually much nicer than most hotel rooms.
*Amenities: The apartment has a pool deck with a covered bar area (with a sink, fridge, and ice machine) and a bocce ball court. The pool has a waterfall and lounge chairs that sit along the edge in about six inches of water, which really gives it a resort feel. There is also an exercise room on the top floor (with a great view) and a few free weekly exercise classes. There’s a game room and kitchen as well, all with lots of big screen TVs. The garage has a couple parking spots with free charging for electric cars. They used to offer a guest apartment rental option for when you had friends or family visit, but they got rid of this amenity (which we were really disappointed about!).
*Staff: The staff — concierges, office staff, and repair people — are all really friendly and helpful. The concierges know us (and many others) by name and really make the place feel like home.
*People: We’ve also had great experiences with other people living in the building — lots of friendly neighbors and good community feel.
Cons:
*Cost: I’m pretty sure this is one of the most expensive apartment buildings in Atlanta, but it is really nice, so I guess it just depends what you’re willing to pay for. (Also, the prices are not bad compared to New York or DC, so a lot of people that live in the building are people that moved from bigger, more expensive cities and don’t think of these rents as particularly high.)
*No AirBnB or Subletting: This might be a pro for some people, but since we often leave town for a month or two every year, it was frustrating to not be allowed to rent out or sublet our place while we were gone to help cover the (expensive) rent. There are corporate apartments in the building, though, so there are some temporary people staying in the building.
*New Building Issues: This is probably less of an issue now, but since we moved in when the building was brand new, we experienced some of the new building quirks. For example, the wood flooring is beautiful, but as it settled, gaps opened up in places. However, the building has been really good about fixing these types of things.
*Burst Pipe: The building also had a really serious issue with a burst pipe that caused flooding on a few floors. We were above the pipe that burst, so we were unaffected (other than slow elevators b/​c two were being used by repair people). Still, the building seemed to deal with it pretty well — putting affected people up in hotels and giving everyone (even those not directly affected by the water) 30% off the rent that month.
*Busy Pool: The pool gets pretty busy on the weekends in the summer, but not usually so crowded you can’t find a space. If you’re lucky enough to work from home, it’s generally completely empty during weekdays.
*Construction: There’s a lot of construction in midtown, including a sister building going up directly to the south. This is blocking a big part of the southern (cityscape) view (another reason we decided to move) and causes a fair amount of noise — though construction should be complete within the year (as of Sept. 2015).

What a dump. Just had a second episode of a pipe bursting in less than a year with water damage to multiple units. Signed a six month lease but moving out early. Very poorly constructed building. True, it’s a great location and the amenities are quite nice, but the units themselves are shoddily constructed and ridiculously overpriced. Excited to leave.

Don’t Pay to Stay Here.
I used to live in this place since they opened up in August/​September 2013. Therefore, I am able to give a detailed description of the property, amenities and the staff. Although this is located in a very good location for midtown, just behind 1010 Peachtree Condos and right near Ri Ra Irish Pub and Ra Sushi, the pluses do not outweigh the negatives.
Luckily parking is included with your rent. The downside is parking spaces are always taken unless you pay an extra $ 100 to rent your own spot. Otherwise, good luck finding a parking spot.
Although this is a brand new building. It is beat to hell after one year. No one takes care of anything. The grills outside on the 6^th floor never work, they are dirty as heck and sticky with ants crawling all over them. The Bocce court is beat, the sand needs replacing but no one would ever do this.
They had a MAJOR flood last year that caused many people to leave due to black mold and everyone starting to get sick in the building including my room mate. They even let everyone leave that was invovled in the flood and out of their contract. However, since my apartment was just on the fringe of the flood, this did not apply to us. When we check out, we gave them 2 months ample notice and they claim to have lost the letter. Now they are trying to say that we owe them 3 months rent or something crazy like that. Our rent for a two bedroom apartment was already over $ 2,000 and when we moved out they had raised it to just over $ 3,000. In one year they tried to raise our rent like $ 350. This is not including garbage and other fees that they tack on putting it above $ 3,000 for a 2 bedroom. This is CRAZY!!!
Do not stay here. It is not worth the rent. They will bombard you with letters if you are too loud. They will raise the rent and when you move out, don’t expet to get your security deposit. They will than force to charge you exuberant amoutn of fees to move out. They have mold in the building and people were getting sick but when so many people left that were involved in the flood, they wouldn’t allow anyone else out of their lease.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
