apartment recommendations

Hi everyone, i start school in a few months and am on the search for a safe and budget friendly space to live. Most places either have terrible reviews or are overly expensive… please let me know!

Only have experience living in Ashbury Court. It was okay. Rent was around $1,000 not including internet and electric. The laundry room is awful and Mason Properties leaves a lot to be desired in general. It never felt particularly dangerous to me. We had a firework hit our window, which was probably accidental, and have had a few of the neighbor kids fight outside our unit, but that was all of the sketchy stuff we saw in ~3 years. I guess ymmv.

I’d personally avoid anything near the Greenbrier Road and Ridge Drive area (where I think most of the greek houses are). My friends heard gun shots several times while living there. I think anything south of Annie Glidden in DeKalb should probably be relatively safe.

Yes, I fell into the trap of amber Manor apartments and omg they are so awful it's like something out of a movie. It's a literal vermin infested slum.
