The Preserve Townhome Apartments

Would give 0 stars for management if I could. Management is by far the worst I’ve ever had. We’ve had 3 managers in 4 months and been waiting over a month for a response from the current manager. Unacceptable for residents to have to live like this. Tried to take complaint to corporate but they don’t respond either. Atlanta-based manager always blames managing too many properties as their excuse. No one is local. Absolutely loved living here when it was Skywater Realty. Residents need an Athens manager.

***Another Update*** Since Laura we've had 3 new property mangers. I've lived here for 10 months and have had 4 property managers. All (except Laura) are unresponsive. I've been trying to get ahold of management since February. Last week, I received an offer to renew from the newly hired assistant property manager, however neither him or the property manager have responded to any of my emails sent prior to the renewal offer. Extremely unprofessional. ****UPDATE*** Laura is amazing and very responsive!! She went above and beyond to make sure my concerns were addressed in a timely manner. After working with Laura, I was able to secure a different that was in alignment with my moving dates. I really appreciate Laura. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great place to rent! The Preserve in Athens, was needing a place to stay for work. Safe, quiet, and townhouses are very clean and roomy. Management was very easy to work with. Ms. Laura the property manager was very accommodating when I moved in. This rental is a good move for anyone wanting or needing to be in Athens, Ga.

I mostly enjoyed living at the preserve for the last five years. We moved for a job. It was better when tribridge didn’t own it, and we had sky water realty. Tribridge tries to manage from out of town in Atlanta, and so it’s hard to get things repaired in the most timely manner. Also, they increased rent for everyone ranging from a couple hundred to more than five hundred a month depending on the unit. They also added a monthly pet fee when we already paid a flat fee pet deposit under sky water. These reasons caused a lot of people to move out and go elsewhere. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the location, the pool, our neighbors, and lawn care. They did not breed discriminate when it came to pets. The bedrooms are large with built-in full bathrooms and walk-in closets, which I miss a lot. The

I would not recommend the Preserve under Tribridge. Under the previous property management company I would have sung praises and encouraged everyone I knew that was looking to rent to move here. The units themselves are wonderful, but the parking situation is awful, the amenities aren't great, and the new property management company has come in and raised rent almost 50%. As a current resident who just received their renewal notice, the rent is actually $600 higher than what is listed on rental sites. This property management company came in from Atlanta and is trying to throw Atlanta prices on this beautiful Athens neighborhood. Definitely would not recommend moving here under the current property management company. Wait until the next one buys it out.
