Good place to live in. The administration is not the best but I wouldn't change my decision of living there. The location is wonderful, 5 minutes by shuttle from school. You also have public transportation very close. You can take marta busses to go to midtown, also to downtown decatur where there is also a subway station that takes you everywhere. From grocery shopping, publix is 5 minutes a walk, you'll also have several restaurants by walking less than 5 minutes. If you have a car you'll have up to 2 spots for a 2b2b apt.

Gables Montclair is about a 7-15 minute drive from the medical school, depending on traffic. There is an Emory shuttle stop within walking distance that can be used to get to Emory if you don't have a car. The apartments are pretty spacious and the rent is reasonable. There are several shopping complexes within walking distance with a few restaurants, Publix, gas station, and a Petco, but there aren't many bars or things to do nearby. There is a gym with minimal machines and equipment. Maintenance is usually responsive to things that need to be addressed. Overall, a good place to live for first/second year.

LOL management

Convenient and spacious.

Quieter neighborhood with a mix of students, families, and even professors. Parties won't keep you up all night. Just across the street from lots of restaurants and a grocery store. MARTA and Emory shuttles a 5 minute walk away. I love my floorplan as it is a 1 bedroom + a separate office, which is perfect for having guests or working from home. High ceilings, nice finishes. Maintenance responds quickly. It would be unaffordable as a student if I did not live with my partner. The noise can be a bit loud from the street if you are facing Clairmont—I definitely could not "relax" on my balcony and mostly used it to store bikes. Not gated, but very safe—never felt afraid taking my dog out alone in the middle of the night or was worried about things left in my car.

I have had generally positive experiences here with my husband and our dog. Management has been attentive and they agreed to freeze our rent during COVID prior to it being a requirement by law. Have been very responsive to repair requests, etc.

Great experience living here. I have had friends live here for the past 4-5 years, they have all had positive experiences. 3 Emory shuttles have stops really close by. There are restaurants, coffee shop, supermarket, gas station, laundry, package store, UPS and FedEx office, among other businesses within walking distance. I have survived here without a car. 15-18 min walk to Emory Clairmont Campus. 20-30 min walk to campus.

Pros: Units are quite large, free parking, conveniently located a block from shuttle stop, close to Publix and restaurants, may receive a giftcard during move-in special, proactive about pest control spraying common areas every week
Cons: Pool and gym are lacking, package room still in early stages so may have to follow-up on packages, office takes a while to disburse move-in reward

Gables Montclair has been a generally good experience. My only issue was problems getting maintenance in to do work. After speaking to the property manager, however, it was done the next day. I never hear my neighbors and there are a good mix of students, professors, and families. Would recommend, especially the Brice floor plan, which give you a whole separate office/ guest bedroom.

I have had no problems with my apartment complex. I have so much space and I love my apartment. No issues at all! Very close to Emory so great.
