Biltmore at Midtown Apartments

So far so good. It has only been a month since signing my lease. I will update after a year .
The staff very professional &helpful
No the office isn’t open on Sundays but that hasn’t been a problem for me (with picking up packages). The office opening hrs are very accommodating.
Noise level. My unit is on the 6^th floor facing7th street so its pretty quiet for city living .
Location is amazing. Walking distance to everything in midtown. 15/​20min walk to Atlanta’s largest park Piedmont park. Yes extremely close to ga Tech but i dont get the feel of dormitory living which is a plus. (being 30 something)
Rent pricing. Well you get what you pay for. No its not cheap and honestly it shouldn’t be. Im moving from downtown Chicago For the location and the square footage I think it’s a steal.
Thank you Kyle and everyone in the office for making this a smooth transition from Chicago to Atlanta. Special thanks (sorry i forgot your name and lost your card, but to the dark haired young man (new kid on the block). One day I rushed into the office 17:45 the office closes at 18:00 i asked to see my new space for measurements (to pack and what not to pack) he obliged and with a smile. Thank you sir.

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Management are ridiculous charging me a 20 $ fee to sweep a bit of dust off the floor after I moved out. Lift stopped working on numerous occasions, machines in the gym wouldn’t work. This place isn’t even fit for students — over priced for what you are getting.

New management is awful. Many of these good reviews are for POST Biltmore; don’t be fooled! Fairfield is soso terrible. There was only one competent employee at the office who helped us some of the time; everyone else would just give us conflicting information or just didn’t know. One woman denied that she told me I could pay rent online with my credit card. Turns out I couldn’t, it didn’t go through, and I had to pay extra for being late.
Once, I accidentally paid twice for my rent. I couldn’t get a refund no matter what I said. They said it was an issue with my bank. I talked to them, who called Biltmore to say it was absolutely not their fault, and the Biltmore woman was so mean that the bank employee was rattled after the call. I felt so bad for putting her through that. Turns out, they refunded into the wrong account, and I didn’t find out until I almost moved out. WAY TO GO.
Rent is way overpriced. Look for somewhere with competent staff.

I don’t have a bad thing to say about the year at Biltmore! The location is great, the apartment was large and clean, the courtyard is beautiful! I especially like Dianna in the office although all have been nice and were eager to help with anything needed. I only know one of the maintenance men, Randy, and he is super nice and very quick to help with anything. I can’t imagine a nicer place to live and I thought it felt safe, and was well run.

As a Georgia Tech graduate student, the location is perfect. Staff are exceptionally helpful and maintenance is done immediately.
I’ve also enjoyed the great amenities — exercise room, courtyard, and top-​floor patio area.
I’ve lived in two apartments here, and I think the only drawbacks have been noise from the club and bar on the 6^th street side. I believe apartments in other parts of the building have been much quieter.
You also do pay a premium for the location; being able to walk to great restaurants and coffeeshops on well-​lighted streets where there are a lot of people out gives a really cosmopolitan feel, but that makes for higher rates.

Since management changed to Fairfield, the Biltmore is probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. It felt like they were just trying to squeeze all of our money when possible and when confronted, pretended to know nothing about it. God, awful place. I can’t even begin to cover all the problems and issues I had, but here were a few:
— the worst part of the experience: there were roaches on a daily basis coming through the cracks on the floor. I don’t think I went a day without seeing roaches during my half year here, and it was AWFUL. When we told them, they first offered to spray (we got charged for that and it didn’t help). Then when we confronted them again, they said we would have to move out all of our items for a few days on our expense so they could put vinyl over it. The best part — they were going to do this and call it an «upgrade», and charges $ 1500+ for a shitty studio for the next tenant.
— students, you are not allowed to move out in April or May, thereby forcing you to pay an extra $ 200 on top of your rent per month for a short term lease or rent an extra few months until June.
— one of the longest working employees is not good at her job… like at all. She literally gave us incorrect information at time, was spacey and just seemed overall very slow. It got to the point where I would peek in and if she was working I would just wait another day. Another person was competent
— the guest parking: LOL they have maybe 20 spots total between all the buildings because they sold out the spots in Building C to Gordon Biersch. Assholes.
— The inventory they give you is terrible. It doesn’t cover a lot of items in your room, so even if you fill it out it sets you up for failure. I was luckily a resident advisor on campus and pulled out my old inventory forms and covered every single problem the apartment had — I had to write in the margins because I wanted to cover every problem. The salt to the wound: we got charged for something I specifically wrote down in the inventory at the beginning of the year. I don’t even know how I’m going to resolve this.
— the only redeeming things about the Biltmore was the maintenance guy (who worked often until 10pm) and usually had same day servvice, and the location.
tl;dr: fuck you Biltmore.

I have lived here twice for a period of about 4 months each time. As a Georgia Tech student, the location is perfect! You are so close to a plethora of restaurants and stores, and just a Trolley ride away from the center of campus.
The rooms are good size, and the appliances work excellently. I have lived in a few complexes with very thin walls (you could almost hear the neighbors breathing in those places), but here I never once heard my neighbors.
The renovations done to the courtyard are excellent. They have really brought the place up to date with new grills, a water feature, and nice furniture.
The staff is absolutely astounding. They are all incredibly helpful, and personable. From chance encounters with them on MARTA, to working through shipping errors, they always remember you and are willing to help you out, or just chat.
The only thing I found a little odd was the way package receiving was handled. USPS is brought to your mailbox, while all others are sent to the front office. Sometimes they come to your door, but most of the time they just drop it in the main office. Once left there you are never notified by the apartment that you have a package waiting, nor are you checked when walking out of the office with any packages you pick up. I never experienced a problem with anyone taking any packages (the community seems to be filled with great people, so I never was worried) but technically it is possible. I think the security and flow of package receiving could be improved, but works for now.
Overall a great location to live! I can confidently say, if I hadn’t had to move for a job, I would definitely still be living there.

In terms of location, this is one of the best places to live in Midtown. Property management has been easy to work with, and overall my experience has been great living here.

When I was looking for an apartment in Midtown, location was a big priority to me. That said, Post Biltmore is in the heart of what’s happening in Midtown. I ended up living here close to two years. It’s close walking distance to one of the best bars in town (Cypress Street), close to Georgia Tech’s campus and Technology Square, as well as Publix, CVS, Starbucks, two MARTA stations and numerous restaurants. The walk-​ability of this neighborhood can’t be beat.
The downside to PB is the price, but you pay for what you get. I’ve known a lot of young professional friends that had to move out due to the increasing costs in rent there. But the amenities and staff here are top notch, although a pool would have been nice. I lived in a courtyard facing apartment which was fairly quiet. Anyone looking for a place to enjoy all the benefits of urban living should check this place out.

Best place in Atlanta I’ve lived so far, but also the most expensive — I find it’s well worth the price though. FYI: I’m writing this after only living here a few months. The location is perfect; in walking distance to almost everything I go to often (school, Piedmont park, Publix, Starbucks, restaurants, shops…). Notable amenities include a great gym (as far as apartments go), and two nice patios (one on the ‘rooftop’), and laundry rooms. Online payments for everything are encouraged. The staff I’ve met have been super nice and helpful. Again, it’s expensive (to me), but you get what you pay for! I’m sure I’ll renew my lease when the time comes.

I spent a year and a half here — my longest apartment stay to date! OCT 2012 EDIT: Let me be clear, this was when it was POST Biltmore. I believe management has changed since I lived there from Fall 2009-​Winter 2010.
While the staff in the office seems to change rather quickly, Tim, the maintenance guy is so on top of things. He’s super nice and helpful whenever something is wrong. Even the substitute maintenance guys are awesome when they have to come over from neighboring Post properties to help out after hours and such! Not to mention, the laundry room is run by another company but is always being fixed within a day of a washer/​dryer breaking!
Parking is definitely adequate, but I think Post rents out to local businesspeople during the day, so it’s far easier to get a spot on your floor/​a lower floor anytime except 8a-​5p hours. Never had a car break-​in (I don’t leave *anything* in the car though, not even spare change.)
I have had a bit of a noise problem as I can hear music from below and above me, but management does everything it can to help with it. I had a crappy neighbor for a long time, who wouldn’t answer the door for the uniformed APD courtesy officer who paid her a visit at 2am… but that is not Post’s fault. My apartment faced the courtyard so I never heard any Cypress/​Halo noise… EVER. I could hear any kind of chatter down below though (from 4^th floor).
The office accepts packages and usually puts them in a locked room, even though such is not Post Properties’ company policy anymore. There is Comcast service, which is good because DirecTV goes out almost every time it rains. The internet service is DirecPath which has terrible customer service but awesome speeds (10 up/​10 down for $ 50/​month.) I have been happy with how the backup power generators kick in so our complex (all but once) has stayed electronically locked even during power outages. And you can program long distance phone numbers into the call box, so there is *no excuse* for anyone not to have their guests be buzzed in.
I’ve felt very secure and pampered living here, but as always, it comes at a price. A high one at that. $ 2 per sq ft is NOT unreasonable for this place. But you just can’t beat the location — walking distance to everything important:
*10 minutes to the Klaus building on GaTech campus
*5 minutes to Publix and the liquor store
*4 minutes to midtown MARTA station
*1 minute to Tech Square
*15 seconds to beer (Cypress St)

I don’t live here, but I have pre-​gamed in these apartments so often that I feel that I can pass on some healthy advice to others consider it for housing.
THE GOOD
Location, location, location. Its right in front of Cypress pint & plate, which is always a good time. You are also walking distance to Publix, CVS, Macs’ Liquor store (hurray!) and other immediate-​need shops. This makes it a lot easier to just take a stroll (exercise!) to buy that last forgotten item and not feel like its a huge drag to get your car and worry about parking. It is also near a bunch of decent restaurants located on Peachtree — from Taco Mac to Vortex, Steel, fancy restaurants, or jimmy johns and Arbys.
Its super close to the Midtown N4 MARTA station. This way, you can just hop on if you don’t have a car or don’t feel like driving through the nasty ATL Traffic jams. If you are a student, you can walk to the GT campus and get to Tech Square in under 5mins (which has a Starbucks, a barber shop and other restaurants).
The apartments themselves have a lovely patio with cabanas, tables and grills with a gas line (so you don’t need to buy coals or anything). The patio area is always kept clean and is rarely used. They have a tiny fountain but it needs some work (it currently looks like a water house shooting upwards for like 5inches. not that great).
The one-​bedrooms are spacious and have a great view of the Biltmore and downtown. The tenants are young and everyone seems to get along. The gym downstairs is small and not awesome, but it has the bare necessities and its often empty, so not a bad choice if you don’t feel like driving to a gym or running outside.
THE BAD
Really bad city noise. Although being in front of Halo can be considered a plus if you’re a party person, you might not like it as much if you are a light sleeper. They have parties pretty much every weekday night, and it usually ends up with super loud belligerent people screaming and honking their horns until at least 4am. Not that great when you have class or work the next day and aren’t drunk yourself.
Parking inside for visitors is a bit of a pain. They have limited visitor spots and most of them are «24hr reserved» so you can’t park in them anywhere. Kinda defeats the purpose of having an apt in such an awesome location if you can’t bring friends to party with.
No pool. Boo. this really sucks because a lot of midtown apartments have them and come very much in handy during the summer time or as a cool hang out spot to meet your neighbors or bring friends.
Some minor issues with the heater not working during the really cold days and thin walls allowing you to hear your neighbors (which sometimes you really really really don’t want to).
Overall experience =good.

Great apartments with great service. Never had a service call that took longer than 24 hours. Had a few spiders in my apartment they had the pest control people come out the very next day. Leasing office is very helpful. Nice gym, nice patio outside.
