HawksNest Commons, dahlonega-ga

Do not live here. So many things wrong with this place. Property manager doesn’t respond and doesn’t respect anyone. Rent is astronomically high for a tiny bedroom. They are lying about the rent, they advertise it as $770 but you actually end up paying almost $1,000 every month. This month I got charged $1,500 because they charged $550 for a FISHTANK. Never ever speaking good about this place, they price gouge and take advantage of college students. They charge waiver fees that you shouldn’t be charged, they held our microwave for over month when it broke and then tried to say they “weren’t responsible” for replacing it (we lost almost $150 of food bc of that btw) Also if a company is getting almost $4,000 per apartment I expect to be in a $4,000/month environment. This place is not that, no amenities outside just a parking lot, everything is broken ALL the time and this apartment is small as hell, def not worth it! LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I’ve only lived here a couple months, but it has been a good experience overall. Under the new management I have seen steady improvements to Hawksnest. Elizabeth, the new manager, is absolutely lovely and so helpful with any questions. The pricing is also lower than most other places in Dahlonega which has been helpful. Highly recommend!

Hello! I used to be very against this place and debated change in residence but there has been a change in management. I have had this issue with the AC unit outside my door waking me up time and time again, the old manager didn’t put in the effort to help nor was she productive on making sure residence felt heard and safe. There is a new manager named Elizabeth. She is so super kind and has already been so supportive. She does apartment check quarterly. She has been proactive. I mentioned this issue to her yesterday face to face explaining the severity of it, and today maintenance came in to help this issue. ordered parts to fix right away. Maintenance is so kind and helpful. She plans events for residence to make us feel like a community. She’s very organized as well! I know it’s only been a few days but I feel so much better. Don’t be afraid to talk to her and let her know any issue you have! She will be there for you and help as much as possible! Thank you Elizabeth. I will come back and post another review later on to see how it goes through time! So far, so much better.

I moved in fall 2021. The apartment was decently clean but only because the girl that still lived there kept it that way. The lights in the parking lot never worked. Maintenance was good for about a year and then when they switch to a new manager the maintenance team went down hill quick. Stairwells were always disgusting and they never responded to work orders. When I moved out, I was charged for things they didn’t even replace and for holes in the walls. On my move out email, I was told I would not be charged for holes that were smaller than a quarter. The holes in my wall were no bigger than a pushpin hole. Bailey took over a week to respond to the email. Overall, very displeased with this place after they switched to new management. Before the new management, this apartment was awesome. After the new people, it was a disgrace. They also kept going up on rent year after year and almost forced us to resign our leases in September or they’d sell our room out from under us.

We placed a maintenance request for a new microwave a month ago and we still have no microwave. They've stated that it's a luxury item they were not required to replace in the first place.
