CollegeTown Properties, athens-ga

I CAN"T STRESS ENOUGH DONT RENT FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE BELOW: Roof collapse in rented house!!!!!!!! I rented out 198 Weymanda Cir through CTP for almost 2 years. First year was great, only slight problems but nothing bad. Second year was absolutely awful. We were overrun with roaches, our dishwasher broke multiple times, and our dryer was permanently broken. NONE of our maintenance requests were even looked at. I put in one for the pests we had and explained that we had been doing all the dishes, taking the trash out early, and doing everything we could to prevent the pests and that we needed help. None was received and instead they just completed the request without even sending anyone. So I decided to sub lease my place out and did all the steps, called the office THREE times to make sure everything was correct and they needed nothing else. Told me everything was good and I didn’t need to do anything. Then a month after I was out of the house, I get rent charged to my bank account. Called them and they let me know that I have to turn off autopay. Also let me know that they couldn’t refund me the money and that’s I’d have to chase down the new tenant to pay me. Absolutely ridiculous, and a pack of idiots running this place. UPDATE 7/27/25: Went over the night before my lease ended just to clean and make sure everything was good, and the photo of the roof collapsed is what I walked into. When we told College town properties they said it was, and this is a direct quote. “Plumbing”. The roof had literally collapsed in my room and nobody even came out to look at it. This was an insane experience and I’m glad it’s over. I could have been seriously injured and not one single employee cared. Crazy

Worst management company ever. Hard to avoid them because of the ridiculous oligopoly that Collegetown and Landmark have on Athens real estate but avoid them if you can. This was their response to me asking them to inform their residents that guest parking (which we most definitely have, I’ve lived here for 3 years and we’ve always had guest parking) is allowed to be reserved for weekends. Cannot fathom what company decides it’s okay to treat paying residents like they do. Not to mention the general lack of professionalism from all of their communications (blatant typos in literally all of their texts). Excited to be rid of them this year.

My daughter lived at The Mill District managed by College Town the last year. What an AMAZING experience we have had. College Town has been fantastic. The complex is gorgeous and she has loved her apartment. You even get use to the trains! And it’s all well worth it. I’m sad she’s moving, this is a beautiful complex and College Town is great to very attentive. I cannot recommend The Mill or College Town more highly. You will be very pleased to live here- great experience beginning to end!

I highly recommend going elsewhere. I had an incredibly negative experience renting here: neighbors with paper thin walls and domestic violence issues meant no peace in my home. The Baxter Lofts were poorly maintained (not cleaned well, malfunctioning lighting and never painted… felt dirty and gross). So I went to buy a home and leave. Once I notified them of my departure, they just got nasty. Then I was promised a pro-rated rent once my lease was freed, only to then be ignored with the rent not pro-rated. The women that run this business are all vapid and present with such a nasty attitude. They’re located on Milledge and have that annoying “I’m better than everyone else and wear a pound of make up” look. Just repulsive. Good riddance. I encourage you all to rent elsewhere.

We had a really good experience working with Andy and Christian. They were property managers for my sons rental for a two year period. Super nice guys, very responsive, and easy to work with!
