Apartments with luxury feel in Marietta, GA

I’m looking for a 1 bd/1 bathroom apartment in Marietta. Something that looks modern and has a nice aesthetic. Price range between 1600 to 1700. I absolutely cannot do roaches so def a place that does not have any roach allegations.

I'm gonna be honest with you, here. Some places have roaches and some do not. Some places do a good job of pest control and some do not.

But if you absolutely cannot do roaches, as in even the story of a place having a roach in it at some point is a deal breaker for you, apartment living in GA is probably not for you. It's a natural habitat for them because of the climate and roaches tend to gather where there's a lot of waste to consume. Where there's a lot of waste, there are a lot of people and vice versa. Apartments feature a lot of people living in a small area.

We're fortunate. We live in a very nice complex in a recently upgraded apartment closer to the perimeter that does a great job with pest control. We still have to kill a roach every few months. I am under zero delusions that they aren't in the walls. It's just what it is.

Living in GA isn’t for them…

I currently live in an apartment in Georgia and have only had to kill one roach within the past 18 months, so I guess it really does depend on where you live. Do you mind ping me about your apartment or sharing some options © I’d say an apartment with decent management and good maintenance services is very important to me.

Where you live matters very little and who you live next to (which is completely out of your control) matters very much.

Unfortunately most apartments and condos use pine straw for mulch which attracts those giant roaches. Avoid places with lots of pine trees and ones that have lots of flower beds with pine straw mulch

Interesting. My house has a ton of pine trees and we do get a lot of roaches. Thanks for clarifying why!

It isn’t just apartments and condos. It is everyone.

Even that depends on what unit.

My current list:

-Sync at Jonquil -Cortland East Cobb -Cortland at the Village -The Elden Galleria -Heights at the Shadowood -The District at Windy Hill -Spectator Apartments -Bexley at Powers Ferry -The Annett -Stadium Walk by Windsor

Any red flags? Or additions I should make? A roach or 2 every couple of months is fine, but if I’m finding a roach in my apartment every week, I can’t do that. Also, must have in unit washer and dryer.

I would think near the Battery is your best bet for what you’re looking for. Obviously, that’s Smyrna, but it’s real close to E. Cobb, etc.

I toured Sync at Jonquil and saw a roach in the apartment they were showing me. If that’s in the one you’re trying to sell, what’s hidden in the ones I’m not seeing?!

I have a friend at Bexley on Powers Ferry. The amenities are very nice and I have not seen evidence of pests when visiting.
