The Overlook at Lindbergh

They are under new ownership and inherited quite a few problems but the new ownership is really good about addressing them. I am a little disappointed that they put in hardwood floors in my upstairs neighbors apartment but it is not unbearable.
I will also say that the fire alarms are VERY sensitive. I have an air fryer (convection) and almost every time i use it my alarm goes off.
Other than that I still love living here. The staff has been very fantastic. Tameka (assistant manager) and Lauren (property manager) are incredibly friendly and helpful. As long as they don’t drastically raise rent I plan on renewing.

This place has turned to complete thug hangout trash. They just changed the name and with it the complex. Drug deals going down right here in this lovely gated community and thugs hanging out right outside my porch Sunday night at midnight. No more security guards in this lovely place. Have fun being vacant.

I live here now and I do not recommend anyone moving in to this place. The apartments are not that great, the staff is awful (zero customer service and out to screw you), and the amenities are out of date. They do not follow through when you put in requests, we’ve asked to have our washer and dryer updated (never done), asked to have a payment discrepancy looked into– never done, and their lease contract is stupid. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
Oh, did I mention there have been multiple people held up at gun point, the girl that loved in my apartment before me was mugged at gun point. And if you read any recent review, you’ll see how crappy they are.

I loved living here!!! Moved in site unseen from Las Vegas, NV. Great price for the apartment we had. 1 bedroom with a loft! Friendly, knowledgable office staff. With my partners job we move sometimes out of the blue, but office manager re-​assured us that all we have to do is give a 30-​day notice and pay the following months rent. Gets you out of your lease, which is sweet!!! Lucky for us and Overlook their apartments go quick!!! So we didn’t even have to pay following months rent because someone rented the apartment!!! Pool is always nice. Laundry room, has several washers and dryers and is secure and takes cards so you don’t have to hassle with change. Nice gym!!! They pick up trash from right outside your door. Only downfall, their utilities are HIGH! Water was over 200!!! That’s insane. Never lived in a place where water was higher than electricity.

Don’t do it.
It’s not safe. I lived in bldg 10 and 6 apts in my bldg were broken in to. We had a shooting in the parking lot & numerous car thefts. They dont do background checks & I’m convinced there was a high-​traffic drug dealer across the street in bldg 11. They didn’t care.
Great sized units & floor plans; but as a single female, I do not recommend it.

my boo lives here. so I’m here often…
looks nice… has nice amenities… but uh the «growing diversity,» has really led to some rather unseemly residents moving in. a shooting few months back– literally, a shooting… break ins, domestic fights, loud ppl screaming outside their apts at 3−4am. what a shame.
the pool is nice in the summer… if you don’t mind 17 guys in white tees and sneakers, with no intention of actually getting in the pool, standing around gawking at the girls– looking like leftovers from a waka flocka video.
…shame though, nice size places/​amenities– just not the atmosphere one would hope for… trashy is the new classy in hotlanta, apparently…
oh and although they have an ongoing problem with crime– a car was stolen out of the gated community just last week— they’re actually RAISING the cost of rent. smdh.

My friend lives here. The apartments are very nice and spacious. The parking near her building is horrible. I felt like I walked a mile just to get to her place. I feel bad for her because of the crazy walk she has to do everyday.
I would consider to living here but the area is just so busy and the place is a little pricey. This might be an option if I was moving in with a significant other.

As a recent move to Atl i needed a place to stay and being a poor college grad when my sister said her friend needed a roommate and the place was fully furnished i quickly jumped all over it.
Initially pulling up into the overlook i was surprised. the place looked classy the gate was fully operational (1 in a few times it was) and the waterfall in the front was free flowing. I was surprised at how large the complex was. after you pull into the front gate the left side has probably 10 – 15 town home units and the rest are apt buildings. the speed bumps were kind of annoying and plenty of them scattered throughout the parking lot. After some loops and turns i got to the apt that i would soon call home for the next two years. we had a ²⁄₂ with the extra den and for the price we paid ($ 1250) it wasn’t that bad esp given the «safe» area (buckhead).
speaking of «safe» you would think an apt complex with a gate and in the buckhead area would be the pinnacle of safe right? well not exactly. As i continued to live at the overlook i could tell the seemingly lower prices (compared to other areas north of lenox) did bring some riff raff in that you wouldn’t expect to see. in addition to this the oft broken gate allowed anyone to drive on through. when the gate was operational you would have «guests» fly by the residents to get in the gate since both the guests and residents entered through the same gate (logical? hell no). as you can conclude during the spring summer and fall months there were plenty of notices from the complex of attempted assaults, attempted car jackings, break ins etc. (i guess winter is a slow time in terms of crime). At the end of the notice they’d always advertise that the Overlook had a security system for the apts (not sure how an apt alarm would fend of would be car jackers), good thing i have a 60 lb dog guarding my door. One month it got so bad (2 – 3 incidents) that they hired a security guard to roam the premises. The security guard was completely capable of guarding his car and perhaps the parking spaces next to his car… otherwise the notices still came once a month telling the residents of a new incident and still advertising the alarm system.
Well enough of safety. So how was the rest of the experience here? Well i can say the apt was well laid out and maintained and luckily nothing ever really broke in the apt except the AC one summer night but that was quickly resolved within 24 hours. the Air filters are changed perhaps 3 times a year if that. The grounds well… its not exactly central park and since they allow pets there’s gonna be assholes that don’t pick up their dog poop and as one reviewer posted it is still a mine field. who would’ve thought a 10lb dog could poop 2lbs worth of defecation? Also the apt has TERRIBLE insulation and in the summer my roommate and i peaked at around $ 275 for utilities and thats keeping the AC at 78 degrees. The winter time there was condensation constantly on the windows and im sure numerous airleaks around the seals. So that wasn’t that great. Also there were a few mold growths around the window sill most likely cuz of the condensation build up.
The amenities were pretty good. the community gym is well kept and although they advertise the other rooms (study room, community kitchen, etc) no one every really uses them so they stayed in good shape.
so outta 1 – 5 scale i give it like a 1.75 stars. at least its not college park. happy livings.

Horrible experience. The utilities are expensive, parking is a major problem, they do not care about keeping up the grounds. It’s like walking in a dog poo mine. It’s ridiculous. The walls are very, very thin and the gates never work. I really expected a better experience when I moved in, especially due to the price of rent. Everyone at the leasing office has an attitude as well and seem to take any minor maintenance problem personally. I’ve never had a pleasant experience with the leasing office.
I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone.

Oh Dear CANLEN WALK… my haven when I first moved to Atlanta and yearned to go back to California. your location was superb… right near the 400, right near the 85…2 miles from Lenox Mall and the Buckhead wonders… and then not to far from sleazy Cheshire Bridge road where the stippers roam…
The Saturday Breakfasts rocked… the gym was alirght… my 1 bedroom/​loft apartment was awesome…
Some of the staff were snobbish… but hey – we were Buckhead beauties.
Sometimes the parking was a problem. especially if a party was going on… but most of the time, I could find a spot near me…
Maintenence peeps fixed problems on the same day…
Canlen Walk – I have fond fond memories of you.
