Grand Reserve

It’s been about a month I’ve lived here and decided to type up a review since there’s nothing dependable on Unilocal regarding this place. I, unfortunately, made an emergency move, so I took the place that had JUST come open only days earlier. Uhm… I’m still working on getting out that cat owning smoker smell that’s permeated my clothing. Yay for that cross country move I had to endure.
It’s pretty spacious in a one bedroom– spacious enough that with the little furniture I do own, I could do laps around my apartment for PT if I really wanted. The overall set up in the apartment is nice– it’s an open walk through kitchen with decent counter space. Watch out for the laminate on the cabinets, though. The complex is about 10 years old, so some things are peeling off. Carpeting needs to be replaced– again, that’s what happens when your previous tenant owned a cat and smoked. Be thorough about your bathroom and kitchen plumbing. Thankfully, maintenance is within the same day regarding your concerns. If they don’t have the part, it’s usually installed the next day after they’ve made a run for parts.
The leasing office personnel is pleasant, and quite willing to work with people. The clubhouse gym isn’t too bad– though, it’s missing a few weights. (Who walks off with only ONE of the dumbbells?) Lawns are kept pretty clean and watered. Unless you have your own washer and dryer, the on site facilities have dodgy washers that can only handle about a day and a half’s worth of clothing. Any more, and your clothing won’t get centrifuged well enough to dry properly in the dryers– even on high heat. Supposedly, they’re getting new washer and dryers, but I’ve yet to see them.
The clubhouse/​leasing office does have a pool and a jacuzzi out back. Not much I can say aside from that they do look clean. (I’m not much of a pool person.) There’s a hot sauna made of cedar, and accessible from the gym, and female and male locker rooms are UV tanning beds.
From what I can tell, the community is made up of mostly those employed with the US Army or working as a DoD Civilian for Ft Benning. There’s a few «locals» in the mix, but it’s still a pretty quiet location with a decent amount of families living here as I see a ton of middle and high schoolers around right before school let out. My neighbor upstairs is pretty quiet, too, albeit a bit heavy footed, but other than that, no real complaints. Feel free to stop in if you’re looking for a place to live. It’s not too bad, and there’s less criminal activity compared to being closer to post. Grocery stores and most doctors are all about 10 – 15 minutes away from this location. I still prefer heading up to Atlanta since that’s where the more diverse Farmer’s markets and Asian grocery stores are all located.
