Milstead Village

horrible maintenance and fees are a rip off. Maintenance will never fix anything correctly and office says that is the price you pay for living in an apartment

Best apartment complex in Kennesaw by far I have lived at most of them!! Very Great people who run this business!!

Millstead Village is great. I needed to move in on short notice and they were very accomodating. They have been very helpful with the few minor repairs that needed to be made - there are no bugs to speak of, and the one time I had ants, the orkin man came and they were gone the next day. Staff are helpful and friendly. Great location. Within walking distance to so many restaurants and the cobb center mall. Sarah, Erin, and Sherry are awesome.

I have lived at Milstead Village for almost 8 months, and so far I have not had any issues. I have heard complaints about parking; I can only assume that I got really lucky with my location, for there is always ample parking at Building 500. It's also very quiet in my little area of Milstead, but I've honestly never heard much noise around the entire complex. In the summer there are usually some college parties, but generally not very noisy (again, may just have been my luck so far.) The gym is adequate despite its small size, generally not very crowded. The apartment itself (mine has updated fixtures) is very nice - its easily the best place that I saw in the greater Atlanta area in my search for apartments, especially for the price.



I have never experienced a problem with the staff, maintenance responds within 48 hours (I've never had an issue that couldn't wait that amount of time) and the leasing manager was really considerate of some move-in issues we were having and changed the move-in date and apartment for us twice beforehand.



My one issue with Milstead itself is about the cable TV; I don't appreciate being forced to pay for Comcast, effectively forcing me to become a customer, as 1) I don't watch cable TV and 2) I do not like Comcast. I was told as (forced) Comcast customers, we would get a discount on internet... which was not true, and we are now stuck with internet that does not work half of the time. Very annoying.



My second complaint would be regarding the residents themselves. While most are generally nice, respectful and quiet, as with any neighborhood, there are the obnoxious ones. My boyfriend has found cigarette butts on his windshield, as well as wedged in at our doorstep, and we've found our doormat kicked sideways. We've also received a random note from neighbors complaining about an issue that wasn't even ours. It's a bit rude, considering we've never complained about anyone else. Also, the rule about loud car stereos after dark are there for a reason... booming bass from your car at 1 AM, that is the height of disrespectful. There are also the residents that don't seem to understand how to correctly drive a round-about (or read a One Way sign), as well as those who don't see the safety hazard in zooming out the in-gate.



Aside from those complaints (most of which I can't fault the complex), I have greatly enjoyed living at Milstead Village, and I wish to remain there for awhile. I can only hope that when the time comes, move-out fees won't become an issue, as others have reported; I would hate to have to change my review.

Me and my girlfriend moved here this past March after searching for well over a year for that perfect place and Milstead Village has proven itself to be that for us.



When you drive in, the apartments lined up on each side down the main road with the fountain at the end is a beautiful sight that really struck us. The grounds as well are very well kept and manicured by the hired workers who come once a week.



Our one bedroom apartment is a little on the small side, but its very efficient. The kitchen is gorgeous with plenty of space, beautiful black and stainless steel appliances, and stone look counter tops. Pantry has plenty of room for my girlfriend who demands room for a full pantry for her baking at all times. The bedroom is perfect in size and has plenty of closet room for both me and her. The bathroom as well is very tasteful and elegant (We'd seem some strange looking bathrooms at other places where the sinks are crooked, cabinets are poorly fitted and just generally the proportions are all wrong, but not here).



I've heard people complaining of parking a good bit here, but I have had zero trouble finding a space to park. Perhaps I am just lucky as I am sort of in a back corner so I may not have as many people to fight for spots as others. Regardless, I have never had to park very far from my apartment; most of the time I am within feet of my door.



The staff are friendly and helpful whenever we have needed them for questions and concerns or for maintenance. When we first walked into our ready apartment we had noticed the bathroom fan made a rattling noise and the lock on our storage closet was a little wiggly so we notified them. Within a week when we started to move in all of our stuff all of the things we mentioned were fixed.



The gates would be my only concern for the complex. For the longest time they would leave them open even through the night, I suppose because they were sick of people plowing through it and breaking it (I know they have a camera set up to see people driving though, so why they dont crack down, I dont know). Now they only keep the metal portion of the gate closed while the arm bit is always up. I more so blame this problem on the stupid drunk college kids than the complex.
