The Collective at Kennesaw, kennesaw-ga

If I could give this place negative five stars I would. We signed our lease in May and not only did they have 3 months to clean and prepare the unit, they allowed the tenants that stayed here before us to completely destroy and infest the entire home. From mysterious sticky residue stains left in the cabinets and appliances, to dead roaches left in the microwave, rust on our refrigerator, ice can't come out the dispenser but don't worry a baby roach will. Want some cereal hope you like it with a side of roach eggs crawling all throughout the cabinets. We have two kittens who are now at risk of eating one of these pests and getting worms and two roommates who're severely allergic as well. Our health and the health of our fur babies is put at risk everyday for $997 a month isn't that fun? Laundry room filled with baby roaches, and having to board up our doors and spend money out of our own pockets to keep them at bay. Money we barely have, and implications as if we brought these pests to the unit and being gaslighted in our service emails saying we refused service when we made them well aware we have kittens and the issue is their nest is INSIDE OF OUR REFRIGERATOR. One of our roommates had to escape a terrible situation just to move into another one bringing her to tears, because it feels like we're being treated as nuisances for bringing this to their attention. Our cries for help are constantly dismissed since no other units have them which is the issue in the first place they shouldn't have left this unit unchecked, uncleaned, and unprepared for our arrival. When they had nothing but time and resources which we feel like is very unprofessional, were quick to take our money but left this unit a catastrophe. It's offensive and disrespectful to us that we should be made to feel guilty for not wanting to live like this. Is not wanting to be greeted by roaches everyday in what's supposed to be your home asking for too much? We don't need you to take the feedback we need you to fix the problem

The collective is a great place to live!!! the maintenance was great if you needed it and the houses are well kept and renovated from tenant to tenant. i had a dishwasher break, but they were right on it and had it fixed within the same week. i highly recommend this place for anyone needed a place to live if your going to school.

The Collective is a fun and comfortable place to live! When having maintenance issues, they are always quick to come in and fix the problem. They also host little events where residents can join them for a snack or a treat which I think is so cute. I would definitely recommend the Collective!

The Collective is a great place to live\! The maintenance team is very responsive whenever something needs to be fixed, and the houses are well\-maintained and renovated between tenants\. The lady in the front office is so understanding and pleasant\. I would highly recommend The Collective to anyone looking for a comfortable and well\-kept place to live while attending school\.

I chose this complex expecting a safe, student-oriented living environment, especially after specifically requesting an all-female unit during the application process. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. One of my assigned roommates allowed her boyfriend to stay in the unit long-term, effectively residing there despite the nature of the housing. This was not what I agreed to when signing my lease. Multiple complaints were raised and ignored regarding this situation, as it created an uncomfortable and unsafe living environment. Those concerns were consistently ignored and not properly addressed by management. The situation escalated to the point where I was physically assaulted by this individual while he was in the unit. A student living complex should prioritize resident safety and enforce its own policies regarding unauthorized occupants. In this case, there was a clear failure to do so. The lack of intervention allowed an unsafe situation to continue and ultimately led to serious harm. As a result, I no longer felt safe remaining in the unit and had to make alternative living arrangements. I would strongly advise anyone considering living here to carefully evaluate whether this complex enforces its policies and takes resident safety concerns seriously. (some pictures attached)
