Overture Barrett 55+ Active Adult Apartmen... Apartments

I am very happy to be in this independent living facility. Even though I am new, I have enjoyed the yoga and strength training classes, but the friendly and welcoming staff and residents make me feel at home.

I love living here. I love my apartment, and the wonderful community here.

Renters beware!! Our experience with Overture Barrett was beyond unpleasant. Unfortunately, our move from Florida was hurried and we did not have ample time to explore the many other positive rental opportunities Kennesaw and the surrounding area has to offer. Although we paid for pest control and used the services frequently, we continued to have a problem with silverfish and frequently roaches could be found in the corridors. Residents living on the lower floors will experience noise from... upper levels. The meagre amenities Overture offers in no way compensates for the excessively high rental rates - rates that have recently increased by 8% or more for most residents. In the fall of 2022, residents saw an increase of 200% to 400% in their water/sewer rates. Cobb County had not issued but a minimal rate increase since the beginning of 2022. Why the increase? Overture management was unable to explain the exorbitant increase. The current manager contradicted herself several times when questioned concerning the issue and blamed other entities for the problem. Beware of community costs being passed to the residents! We have recently vacated the property after less than a year in residence. However, prior to the completion of our lease, we returned to Overture to return our keys. Lo and behold! The garage we were renting and had vacated prior to the completion of our lease was being rented simultaneously by another resident - billing both of us! When we questioned the manager as to why she rented a garage we were currently paying for, she informed us that two recently departed employees should have contacted us, Of course, they are no longer employed and weren’t available for comment. Again, she passed the blame to others! In her position as manager, she needs to be responsible and held accountable. Too much deception and drama! Renters beware! Read More

The residents for the most part are warm and welcoming. Most of us have come to this place because of proximity to our children. Trust between the office and he residents could be developed more.

I am appreciative of the way maintenance takes care of its residents.
