"I've lived here with my boyfriend for about a year and half now, and it's truly been an amazing experience. The management team is professional, friendly, and always quick to respond to maintenance requests. The property is beautifully maintained — the landscaping always looks great, and common areas are kept clean and inviting. Huge thanks to Don from maintenance for taking amazing care of the property and making the best boiled peanuts! The staff goes out of their way to make residents feel welcome with fun events. It’s been a fantastic place to live!"
Ansley Simpson"My roommate and I have lived here for two leasing terms now, and it’s truly the best place to live in Athens. We’re in a two-bedroom standard—cosmetically it isn’t the “fancy” kitchen/bathroom setup (compared to the premium), but we made it our home and wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve constantly enjoyed the amenities (pool swims, summer afternoons outside, and plenty of pickleball), and we’ve had so much fun at all the events hosted at the clubhouse. I’ve also gotten VERY familiar with both the office staff and maintenance team, and I can say with full confidence they’re the best and most understanding people in Athens. Hannah, the leasing manager here at Arches, is one of the most dependable and genuinely sweet people. My roommate and I always look forward to seeing her and chatting about silly random things. I’m so sad to be graduating—not just because I’m leaving college and my friends, but because I’m leaving the little home I’ve built here at Arches on the Lake. It’s truly been the best experience."
Kaylee H"My roommate and I have lived here over a year now and everyone is always super nice and helpful - especially that girl named Kaylee in the office. We have had few to no issues - and the few we did were resolved by a simple maintenance order (shout out to Jesse, Casey, and Jacob!). We love our apartment and the staff here."
Haley Simpson"I absolutely LOVE it at Arches! Been here for 2 seasons now and have had no real issues. The amenities are awesome… love playing pool in the new clubhouse…. Maintenance is always prompt and professional and when I call the office the ladies inside are always awesome and bubbly to deal with. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to call home as this definitely feels like home!"
