Mill Street Village, athens-ga

When I was looking for a new place to live, I did a spreadsheet of all my options investigating 7 properties/rental units. Mill Street Village has superseded all expectations and what I’m most impressed by is the Property Management team of Colvin and Linsey and their maintenance guys. They go out of their way to meet reasonable requests and their professionalism is as superb as their genuine caring ways. They have been true to their word in all the recent upgrades being made and it’s a dynamo location, surrounded by nature and within 5-10 min. of everywhere I go in town. Further, the maintenance team is absolutely phenomenal. They are knowledgeable, efficient and so very kind. Always on time, and always working to improve the property, they are always the first to say hello! For all these reasons, I feel safe and love the apt., the view and having newly painted everything, new flooring throughout the taller building and all the updated landscaping has been a breath of fresh air. The neighbors are all friendly too. The laundry room is cleaned regularly and more upgrades throughout the property are pending through the end of the year. I appreciate that this is a nonsmoking property with no smoking permitted within 20 ft. of any buildings. The outdoor pavilion sits on the bike path next to a basketball court and lovely sand volleyball court with scenic views of the Hocking River. An outdoor circuit training area behind the gorgeous new fire house just steps away is another bonus. Best place to live in town as far as I’m concerned! ✨💝

Chris with apartment life has reached out to see how I'm liking things here at Mill Street and I think that is very caring. The leasing people are awesome. And the maintenance men are great too. They treat me and Daisy like family. It's nice. The area is beautiful and safe. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the price is a little too high. Could possibly be lowered about 200-300 on the month. Also if there could be cameras in the parking lot to help keep cars safe would be good too. :-)

Just toured and absolutely love the atmosphere and apartments. Amazing property manager Colton helped us through it all. Overall a really great experience, can’t wait to move in next year!!

I will be very precise. I have lived here for 11 months and here is what I found- They get good ratings for cleanliness (not the laundry room), good maintenance, prompt responsiveness to service requests. Direct access to the beautiful bike path is also one of the perks of living here. In contrast, illogical rent increase comparing their smaller size of the apartments will be their bad sides. The rent is not justified considering they don't have swimming pool, no gym and refreshment zone, no printing facility all of which are usually being provided by other leasing authorities at Athens in the similar range of rent. All of them could be ignored if the rent was in line with the size of the apartments. Also, one annoying side is the frequent false fire alarm due to cooking smoking which really becomes more annoying during the snow season. Overall, they get 2 star from me as I am unhappy with the abrupt rent increase last year.

Been here for over a year the internet quality is my only issue. Update(9-26-26) The internet in the past 3 weeks has been borderline un useable. So I’m dropping my rating from 4 to 3.
