A small entrance at the back of the property opens into a wooded park with hiking trails. Convenient to Emory and Toco Hills shopping centre that has a variety of things including (at the time of this writing): two grocery stores, many restaurants, Pike Nursery, Bruster’s Ice Cream, an independent book shop, independent coffee roaster, and even a little emissions hut. Overall it’s a nice place to live - the grounds are generally well maintained and (true to the name) there are a lot of trees on the property, giving it a more natural, relaxed feel than you might expect so close to the city. I don’t think its asking much to have a sidewalk that takes me from my apartment building out of the complex without having to walk down the side of the street and worry about being hit by a car. There is a very brief sidewalk from the pedestrian gate extending back into the complex however after about 20 feet this sidewalk abruptly stops and you are stuck walking in the street to get back to your apartment which isn’t always safe. There is one gated entrance in the front of the complex for both vehicles as well as a pedestrian gate. What is not great is there is no dog park on site which is something I have had at previous apartment communities. The pet policy is relative pet friendly and there are lots of people in the community with dogs which is great. One increase went up by about $ 58 dollars a month and then the next went up another $ 100 over what I was already paying. Not just once but every renewal they did it. If you think you got a great deal on your lease just wait until renewal time comes and watch them raise the rates. This is another one of those situations where they resolved it when I called but why did I have to keep calling week after week? In terms of value Calibre Woods just charges way too much for what you get. On several occasions I had to call either to local police or the onsite security person to ask them to quiet down. It seems like almost the entire time I lived there I had students either above me or below me and there was a consistent issue with them observing quiet hours. Due to the close proximity to Emory there are a lot of students who live on site. Often especially in the summer the water is stagnant and puts out this terrible vomit type smell. There is a small creek that runs across the community. They do have a service that comes around weekly and will spray inside your unit if you call the office and specifically ask for it which is fine but its another thing I shouldn’t have to deal with. Not just any cockroaches but the big ones. At Calibre Woods the have an issue with cockroaches. Also as with any apartment community they come with some level of pests. There are trees everywhere which is beautiful except for the fact it has a tendency to block the natural sunlight from your windows. What’s not nice is that some of the units including mine was directly behind Kroger so if your a light sleeper expect to be woken up in the middle of the night by the various trucks unloading. The community is in a good location and it is very walkable which is very nice. So basically you are paying a $ 400 dollar monthly markup for the pretty exterior. While the exterior is nice, the interior of the apartments is just a normal apartment that you could get elsewhere for much cheaper. What was not good was the fact that while they market this community as luxury apartments they are far from it. When things did come up they were responsive to the maintenance requests. In terms of maintenance I never had any major issues. You also get lots of extras here such as a pool, tennis courts, gym, carwash, etc. This is a gated apartment community and the staff does a good job at keeping the exterior looking good. I lived at Calibre Woods for about 2 and half years total. I had many things get lost in the mail to pop up in my mail box a month later or never at all. 7.) Expect the rent to be raised by at least $ 100 dollars every year. From her just walking into my apartment (I left my door unlock b/c I was home) to her saying my apartment was too loud b/c she stood outside the door and could hear people talking. So if you travel due to your job when rent is due you just out of luck.
CALIBRE WOODS APARTMENTS PLUS
They don’t accept it early, don’t let you mail it, can only drop it off during business hours and $ 125 plus late fee.
Expect some type of attitude if you asking for any clarification bout your lease or have any issue. 2.) Heavy wooded area so spiders will also be in your apartment. They spray but the problem is never solved. These probably some of the biggest roaches I ever seen.
When you walking you probably see 5 to 10 of them from your car to your door. Talk to any resident there and you will get a different picture. I am shocked to see so many positive review on other sites. Stayed here two years and glad to be gone.
