Atmosphere, fayetteville-ar

DO NOT MOVE HERE, SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING/SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I have never left a bad review for any place before, but my experience living here was so terrible that I felt obligated to speak up so others can stay far away. This place is a total scam. Save your hard-earned money and spend it on somewhere that actually deserves it. First, when I moved in, I was extremely careful and took a walkthrough video covering every single corner of the room. Yet, when I moved out, they charged me repair fees to repaint a few tiny holes in the wall, holes left behind by someone else before I even moved in, which I had no idea were even there. On top of that, there was non-stop construction during almost my entire stay. You can imagine the constant noise, shaking, dust, and heavy chemical smells everywhere. Because of this, the amenities were practically cordoned off. We couldn't use the pool, rooftop, balcony, or grill area, yet ridiculously enough, we were still forced to pay full price for these services every month. To make matters even more absurd, the ceiling in our unit cracked, and management made us pay for the repair. I honestly cannot comprehend how a resident could possibly reach the ceiling to crack it in the first place, you know what I mean? If that wasn't enough, the fire alarm would go off in the middle of the night for no reason, the water was cut off abruptly without warning, and the ventilation fan in the bathroom would sometimes just fall right out. My roommate and I had an absolute nightmare living here. If you are already a resident, make sure to document and take note of everything I just mentioned. I am certain that most people living here are suffering through the exact same experience. So, good luck to you, just please, don't end up like us!!!

Would give no stars if I could. For over $1000 a month, living here is such a scam it's almost laughable. The parking garage is overcrowded with basically zero guest parking and it smells like sewage 24/7 because the dumpsters are constantly overflowing. The rooms are tiny for what you pay, the gym can barely be considered a gym, and the constant construction is the biggest pain you will ever experience. I've had construction workers bang so hard on my walls in the early morning that they've knocked down pictures I hung. There are so many cheaper options in Fayetteville that are infinitely better than Atmosphere, please do yourself a favor and sign a lease with any of them before even considering living here.

Charged me a pet fee after registering my pet at the same time I signed my lease. Didn’t take the charge off after sending in her new updated papers, which they said they would do. Ended up paying more to the greedy. The staff is nice but other than that this apartment sucks. With no warning, they began construction and I would awake to banging on the walls. Spent a few weeks with my window covered by a plastic sheet. Had one morning that a construction worker watched me make breakfast. Cleaning crew did a good job on the first floor hallways. Mattress was stained, walls had a lot of fracking from the building shifting. Overall disappointed I ever leased here. Pool was covered for entirely of my stay.

had to add more: If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Do not ever move into atmosphere. There are far better options for students, especially with all of the new apartment complexes being built nearby. This place will find every possible way to get as much money out of you as they can. When you move out, expect to be charged for virtually anything. Heaven forbid there's a speck of dust left in the bathroom or bedroom, they'll happily add cleaning fees instead of recognizing what is normal after living somewhere. Even worse, they charge residents for normal wear and tear that should be the apartment's responsibility. Instead of replacing their worn-out, low-quality appliances and fixtures, they'll often pass those costs on to you. What's even more frustrating is that we submitted multiple work orders throughout our lease for maintenance issues. We were repeatedly told things had been fixed, yet when move out came around, we were still charged for many of those same issues. It's unbelievable that residents are expected to pay for problems they reported and management claimed were resolved. The location has also become a complete construction war zone. You're paying for features like a balcony that you can barely enjoy because of the constant noise, dust, and construction surrounding the property. The staff was generally unfriendly, unhelpful, and rarely seemed interested in actually solving problems. On top of that, many of the advertised amenities were constantly broken or unavailable, so don't expect to get what you're paying for. I am genuinely so glad I never have to live here again. Save yourself the frustration, save yourself the money, and look elsewhere. There are plenty of newer student apartment communities that are cleaner, better managed, and actually worth the price. Atmosphere was easily one of the most disappointing renting experiences I've ever had, and I would never recommend it to anyone. save yourself the pain. building is gross, trash is everywhere, construction everywhere (often can’t event get into the parking garage), can’t use any amenities (treadmills barely work), hidden fees everywhere, and currently the water has been off for hours despite telling residents that it’s being fixed. go anywhere else - a lot of new (and nicer) student apartments being built near here. Only good thing is the location and that’s not even worth it.

Living at Atmosphere has been honestly kinda awful, especially recently. Only come to Atmosphere if you like hallways and parking garage that consistently smell like rotting garbage, minuscule rooms that you pay $1000 for, and the worst construction you’ve ever experienced. The construction wasn’t bad at first, just annoying, but recently it’s gotten out of hand. Across from the Atmosphere parking garage there’s another apartment complex being built. They’ve blocked off the road turning right from the parking garage, which wouldn’t be a problem, except they have converted the (now) only way to MLK into a one lane road and they will consistently block your car from exiting the garage with heavy machinery. Everyone in my apartment routinely shows up late to work, solely due to these delays. I work remote, so you’d think that would fix my issues with the construction, but it only makes my complaints worse. Every morning I wake up to construction workers banging metal outside my window in an attempt to replace side paneling on atmosphere itself. The noise carries on throughout the whole day, heavily distracting myself and my coworkers while on meetings. We were not made aware of the construction at and around atmosphere when we signed the lease. Worst of all, last September, before the construction got bad, they sent us an email telling us that we had to resign our lease immediately or we would not be able to keep our apartment for the coming year. The only way to keep the apartment without resigning the lease in that 2 week period was to accept a $150 rent increase, and even then it wasn’t guaranteed, so I resigned with atmosphere. I would not have resigned my lease if I knew the construction would get this bad. If you are thinking about moving in to atmosphere right now, I recommend you don’t. I’m already dreading staying here another year.
