Overall, I would recommend Emory Point to a prospective student due to its proximity to campus. The rent is slightly higher than other apartments of similar size in Atlanta, but I think the proximity to campus and the abundance of bus routes makes up for it. The only negative is the noise - try to get an apartment on the top floor if you can because the building’s construction is not optimal for noise control from upstairs neighbors.

I use an electric bike to go to class every day and it only takes me 5 minutes.

Safe place, great amenities, could improve on hygiene slightly

+ Luxurious design (e.g. crown modeling, stone top, barn house door)
+ Great amenities included (e.g. study room, pool, gym)
+ Responsive maintenance team
+ Walking distance to Emory University
+ Good restaurants and shops walking distance (e.g. Marlow's Tavern, Tin Lizzy's, Papi's, Earth Fare)
- Poor and unresponsive service provided by junior employees at leasing office; area of opportunity for property managers

Emory Point has good-sized, clean apartments. There are several shops/restaurants in the complex (including a grocery store, CVS, and dry cleaner) which is convenient. The parking garage always has spaces available and it is a quick walk or shuttle ride to Emory's campus. The gym/pool are nice and maintenance is helpful. Only downside is that some units can be noisy depending on where they are located (i.e. looking over the pool) and the package system is somewhat annoying.

I've really enjoyed living at Emory Point, however a classmate of mine had a very different experience because she lived in one of the apartments facing Clifton Road, where it was extremely noisy. Prior to signing a lease I suggest looking at the property map and determining which buildings, and even which parts of buildings you would prefer to live in, and stay away from crowded areas such as Clifton Road, or apartments facing the retail areas or the pools. Additionally, closet space can vary in the apartments as can the layout so observing the layout carefully is very important.

I flew down from NYC to Atlanta in June before orientation began to do my apartment hunting. I had done a bunch of preliminary research online and also consulted with my sister who was graduate student at Emory in the Physician Assistants program to curate a list of viable living options. Ultimately, I narrowed it down between Emory Point and another Gables property called Gables Rock Springs. The Rock Springs complex was also very nice and cheaper but it's further away from campus, does not have Emory shuttle service, fewer classmates were going to live there, and did not have all the amenities that Emory Point offers (i.e. bars and restaurants).

Nice and convenient

Great apartment. Very large, but on the expensive side.

Great place close to campus, easy to walk to school

Very close to campus and in excellent condition. Amenities are really good, especially the pool in summertime.
