Live 8 West Apartments - Atlanta, Georgia

Super smooth move in and great building. Des was extremely helpful and has a friendly demeanor that makes her very easy to talk to. Omar has done a fantastic job with our maintenance requests and has been extremely thorough with making sure we feel taken care of. He has been wonderful to work with! The staff here a offer super high level of customer service!

I had the pleasure of touring with Desiree. She was extremely kind and helpful. She gave me all the details I needed about the property and neighborhood. I witnessed how she interacted with residents and I could easily tell that everyone loves her there! She introduced me to other residents that lived on the floor I’m interested in and it made me feel at home even as a prospect! The customer experience alone made me choose to lease here over the other 2 properties I was interested in.

Do yourself a favor… FIND ANOTHER PLACE! I moved in at Live8 in September 2021. This was a brand new property at the time and it was great! I just moved out yesterday and can’t be happier to be gone. The problems started about 9 months ago when new management came in. Olin is probably THE WORST property manager I have ever encountered. It is clear that he doesn’t care about the property or the residents there. Communication on his end is extremely poor and his tendency to be combative with residents is enough to make you not want to live there alone.

I mentioned the property was new when I first moved there but because of the complete disregard that has been consistently displayed by management the property has rapidly depreciated. Broken safety doors, unfulfilled maintenance orders, trash rooms unkept are just a few things to name.

For the prices that this complex is asking, it can be a lot better (and you can find better in Atlanta). For me to write a review, conditions have to be horrible and this place all around is the epitome of horrible (for the prices). Let all the reviews here that echo the same sentiments be your warning.

I recently toured a one-bedroom unit at live 8 west and I was really impressed. The building has a sleek, modern design, and the amenities are fantastic. The apartment itself had an open floor plan, with plenty of natural light, stainless steel appliances, and high-quality finishes. The bedroom was spacious, and the bathroom had stylish, contemporary fixtures but the highlight of my tour was the leasing agent Desiree. She was very personable and knowledgeable of not only the complex but the surrounding area. She was definitely a 10 out of 10.

I left for personal reasons and moved back because I loved it so much. Maintenance (Omar) is always here for me when I need him and the front desk is always supportive of whatever I need. If I need help they make me feel like a priority and it feels like home. Glad to be here! Any resident immediately feels like family here.

We've called Live 8 West home for almost two months and we couldn't be happier. We downsized from a large home to one of the two bedroom with den floor plans. We love the layout - especially the openness of the living room and kitchen. The grounds are consistently clean, the amenities are amazing, and the team members are like family already. Everyone in the building so far is pleasant and welcoming.

Shout out to Desiree! She's one of the reasons we selected Live 8 - you know it's a great place to live when the team smiles ear to ear when they describe the community and it's residents.

Highly recommend!

I originally posted a review when we first moved in over 2 years ago and gave it 5 stars. I still agree with that review. If we were not moving out of state we would have absolutely renewed our lease for a 3rd year. We loved our apartment. Desiree in the leasing office is exceptional. I will miss seeing her bright smile and going to the office just to say hi. She was truly a delight. Omar in maintenance is such a nice man who works so hard. Issues were responded to promptly. Owen was so helpful with our move out process and reserving and using the elevator. Our move out was super easy.

To address some of the other comments in reviews that people left - this is our experience:
We had bare minimum issues living here. Yes in the summer, sometimes there are a lot of people out at the pool kind of late but it's summer. I have only seen the pool area trashed one time in 2.5 years and that was Memorial Day 2024. 2023 was not that way at all. It was cleaned up that Monday morning. The bbq area is used a lot and is never left dirty (although the trash cans right there could be emptied more during summer!). Our cars were always behind the gate 3rd floor and we never had an issue with break ins or theft. Omar and the office are aware about the one elevator allowing access upstairs when it shouldn't and they are working on it with the vendor - I mentioned it to Omar. When we first moved in, we never heard any neighbors. Our upstairs neighbor moved out at some point and we did hear the new person after they moved in. He or she is *very* heavy footed when walking but it is what it is. We never hear our neighbors dogs bark from within our apartment either.

I mentioned this to Des when we were dropping off our key fobs, but am hoping maybe upper management will read this. PLEASE put *actual* speed deterring speed bumps or stop signs at corners into the parking garage. The long wide ones don't do anything. You need the real ones - the ones that are high as hell, round, and narrow. The reviews that mention how people drive in the garage are accurate. A lot of speeding around corners and not making space for other cars to pass. Rude AF basically. I imagine the people that drive that way in the garage are also selfish drivers on the regular roads as well. Be cautious and careful at corners. People think they are only ones driving but that seems to be typical of Atlanta drivers in general.

All in all, we will miss this place! Thanks for a great 2.5 years!

I have lived here at Live 8 West for 4 years. The first three were great. However, this last year has been stressful living here and dangerous. Doors are constantly open and or unlocked at critical access points. We’ve had a string of car break ins DESPITE our parking deck being “secured”. Teenagers have ransacked our clubroom SEVERAL times, and it overall does not feel like a safe environment anymore. After expressing concern to the folks at the corporate level multiple times, they still have yet to take any action. The community is great, the people are great, and the staff is great. But the unwillingness of the people at the corporate level to take action and make this place safer is not only alarming, but unsettling. Move here with caution!
