Eclipse on Broad Apartamentos

COLLEGE TOWN PROPERTY IS THE WORST... DO NOT LEASE WITH THEM.
my daughter rented at Eclipse on Broad before they were purchased by College town Property. Once college town property took over everything went downhill. Their apartment had a hole in the floor the size of a bowling ball where the wood had rotted near the sliding glass door which brought in hot/cold air from outside. It took over 7 months for it to be repaired. Expressed concern that the electric bill was much higher because of the... hot air (in warm mos) and cold air (in winter)coming in but College town property did nothing to resolve or took responsibility for increased utility bill. On several occasions my daughter or one of her roommates would walk out of their bedroom and their would be some random worker (male)in their apartment. Not a very safe feeling. The first year she lived there once in a while they would get a couple dollars overage on electricity but when College town Property took over everyone in the building complained that they had huge bills for overages. When questioned they would not produce a bill from the electric company. Now that she has moved out they billed each person $90 for cleaning and now just got a new second bill for move out painting and cleaning. There is no management on site and no phone number to reach anyone. The only way is to call main number and get someone who just answers phone but can't help and if you leave a message good luck ever getting a return call. Since college town took over nothing has been done to the building the hallways and elevators are not kept clean.
College Town Property bad news there are so many other options in Athens stay away. Lee mas

I have jumped around from apartment to apartment during my time in college, and I can 100% say that I have had a great experience at Eclipse on Broad. Management is GREAT. During the first few years, I had a friend that lived here and I know he talked about the management being horrible, but now, Amber and Nick do a great job of making sure all of the tenants are taken care of. They even deliver packages MWF! There are snacks in the leasing office, along with a printer and tanning bed. While the... apartment does not have many amenities, it is still very well kept and the kitchens are beautiful and spacious. My only complaint is the parking situation, but there is not really much that can be done about that. Just ensure that you secure a parking spot earlier rather than later and it will not be a problem. Eclipse is a short walk to the bars and all major downtown hotspots. Not to mention, the University Village bus stop is about 250 feet away, making it simple to get to and from class (the bus leaves every 15 minutes). Overall, I would recommend this apartment to anyone, and I have recommended it to a lot of people. The management is great and the actual apartments are fantastic and I could ask for nothing more. Really consider living here, you will not regret it! Lee mas

Just like other reviews have mentioned, the management here used to be horrible. Thankfully, there is new management this year and it is significantly better, and just two months in, there have been some major improvements. The staff is now so helpful and friendly. They clearly care about their residents, unlike old management. Yes, there is occasional street noise, but that comes with any downtown apartment. The location is great- close to downtown and close to campus. I love the amount of... space the units have, the stainless steal appliances, and the walk-in closets. It's a great price and it's one of the cheapest downtown living options. If you want an apartment definitely look into Eclipse. Lee mas

The management here is the worst I have ever dealt with at any apartment complex. You will be charged and over-charged for anything that the management can possibly think of. The infrastructure of the entire complex is also horrendously built, as they were running a month late in building in the apartments (and made all of us that signed a lease for that school year live in a different complex, during the school year, until our apartments were ready). Because of this, cracking in the walls is... very common, I'm not able to shut my closet door, and our stove is at angle causing our food to cook unevenly. Lee mas

I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone I know! They basically do nothing to the rooms during turnover, so expect to move into a dirty room with messed up walls (this was after having only ONE person live in my room before me). Don't be fooled by the nonrefundable fee for cleaning the rooms during turnover...your room will still be nasty.
The management is terrible. The manager is absent from the office regularly - leaving early so that speaking to her directly about issues can be tough... since the student workers don't have much authority to do anything. Don't expect the manager to keep her word either. We had issues with rates being promised where she went back on what she had originally offered everyone. We were promised various things that never happened. No cameras in the gym so it is only open during office hours - 10-6 pm. My lease was half over when I finally received the promised cable box for my bedroom. The list goes on.
Don't expect anything from going above Eclipse's manager to speak to a Premier Properties person either. The woman you'll speak to is just as bad if not worse. Premier Properties was awful to work with. I was treated rudely and with disrespect after trying to solve issues with my sublease, where I had to wait 5 months for the contract for my subleaser to sign, and I still had to pay the full fee although my subleaser could have changed her mind and left at any point.

Eclipse's rating is inflated because I know for a FACT the manager forced office employees to write bogus reviews after receiving negatives reviews on this site.

Don't live here - the location is great but the management isn't worth it. Live somewhere else near downtown, like 909 or truly anywhere else!!! Lee mas
