Eclipse on Broad, athens-ga

I’ve lived at The Eclipse on Broad for three years, and honestly, we considered moving at one point—but Catrina, the property manager, was the main reason we stayed. She’s incredibly kind, on top of everything, and truly cares about the residents. Whether she’s handling requests fast or decorating the place to make it feel like home, she goes above and beyond. Catrina makes this community feel personal and welcoming, and it just wouldn’t be the same without her. We’re graduating and we’re going to miss her so much! Also, shoutout to Meiko, the maintenance man—he’s the best and always gets things done quickly.

If you like to live with bugs and be talked to rudely by maintenance then you should definitely move here. I have had multiple problems with bugs during the time I have moved in here which was August. For the amount of money I am paying to live here, there should not be constant bug problems. And the pest control does not do anything, they spray an area once and say they came by. I want to feel comfortable in a living space, and don’t feel comfortable at all living here. The maintenance person is also really rude, passive aggressive, and dismissive. If the renewal period wasn’t so early in the year, I would not have renewed it. Since first semester is almost over, I have a better idea of what it is like living here since when I did renew in literally August or September. I would not recommend it at all.

My roommates and I have loved living at Eclipse! It's walking distance to downtown and campus. We've had things that needed repairing and the management has been timely in answering the work orders. The townhouse has super spacious bedrooms as well as a large living room and kitchen, bigger than most apartments I've seen in Athens. The garage being so close is also a bonus. Would highly recommend!

My first year living here was slightly below average, simply because of the old management. Thankfully, this year brought a change in management, and it's been significantly better. The new staff is so friendly and clearly wants to improve our living arrangements in all possible ways. I now love living here! Great location - close to downtown, close to campus, and right next to a UGA bus stop. Spacey living area and good quality appliances. It really is a great deal too, especially when comparing it to other downtown living options. If you're looking for a downtown apartment, definitely check out Eclipse.

Assigned parking spot was not as promised. We signed a lease in December of 2020- so we were not last minute arrivals. The manager has since made this right, but it was a hassle that should have never happened. The apartment was not move-in ready from cleanliness and small maintenance details. During move-in, residents should have complete access to the elevators. We were constantly waiting on employees going up one flight of stairs. They made the process very slow. Prior to move in, we tried for 3 months to contact someone to pay the deposit. We were finally told by an interim “answering service/management” someone that it would be waived. It was not. The new manager said it’s not possible to waive deposit and admin fees. Currently, you can sign a lease at this apartment and pay no fees to apply or put down a deposit! - terrible customer service. I was told that both prior manager and district managers have been fired. Best of luck to the new manager as she tries to re brand this complex.
