I’ve lived at The Eclipse on Broad for three years, and honestly, we considered moving at one point—but Catrina, the property manager, was the main reason we stayed. She’s incredibly kind, on top of everything, and truly cares about the residents. Whether she’s handling requests fast or decorating the place to make it feel like home, she goes above and beyond. Catrina makes this community feel personal and welcoming, and it just wouldn’t be the same without her. We’re graduating and we’re going to miss her so much! Also, shoutout to Meiko, the maintenance man—he’s the best and always gets things done quickly.

Overpriced, exploitative, corporate student housing. Does not have security cameras. Staff will come in at their convenience, not yours. Has roaches. States it is pet friendly but not all rooms are and it is not specified which are or aren't. The property management company is completely irresponsible and lets staff take the fall.

If you like to live with bugs and be talked to rudely by maintenance then you should definitely move here. I have had multiple problems with bugs during the time I have moved in here which was August. For the amount of money I am paying to live here, there should not be constant bug problems. And the pest control does not do anything, they spray an area once and say they came by. I want to feel comfortable in a living space, and don’t feel comfortable at all living here. The maintenance person is also really rude, passive aggressive, and dismissive. If the renewal period wasn’t so early in the year, I would not have renewed it. Since first semester is almost over, I have a better idea of what it is like living here since when I did renew in literally August or September. I would not recommend it at all.

Management is amazing! Super understandable and always available. Maintenance is super quick. I had my ice machine and washing machine that broke and it was all replaced with brand new appliances within 24 hours. Package area is super secure and apartment was clean in move in. Honestly lucked out with this place and will be resigning.

I must say, I had my doubts moving into the Eclipse. Seeing the past google reviews and touring the complex did not ease these. After living here for a year I can confidently say the eclipse is one of the better complex's downtown. I lived at the Mark before and not only enjoyed my living experience at the Eclipse far more, but it was also much cheaper. I think the problem with the Eclipse was the past property managers. The new manager (this year) Kimberlyn is truly fantastic. Responsive, on site, and legitimately cares about her job. The complex is truly being turned around and a lot of work is being done to make it a better place to live. I truly believe the eclipse is one of the finer options for downtown adjacent living.

My first year living here was slightly below average, simply because of the old management. Thankfully, this year brought a change in management, and it's been significantly better. The new staff is so friendly and clearly wants to improve our living arrangements in all possible ways. I now love living here! Great location - close to downtown, close to campus, and right next to a UGA bus stop. Spacey living area and good quality appliances. It really is a great deal too, especially when comparing it to other downtown living options. If you're looking for a downtown apartment, definitely check out Eclipse.

My roommates and I have loved living at Eclipse! It's walking distance to downtown and campus. We've had things that needed repairing and the management has been timely in answering the work orders. The townhouse has super spacious bedrooms as well as a large living room and kitchen, bigger than most apartments I've seen in Athens. The garage being so close is also a bonus. Would highly recommend!

The current management is dishonest, so be warned if you are moving in here while Pierce Education Properties owns this complex. I moved in here 2 years ago and went through 4 different management companies while living here. I moved out last month in July and Pierce Education Properties (PEP) is currently trying to charge my roommates and I for things that had been documented with previous management. For example, the units come furnished and right after my roommates and I moved in we had a chair and coffee table removed by management and documented it in a work order. When PEP took over, they wiped all previous work orders from the system. They are currently trying to charge us to replace the furniture because they "have no record" of the furniture being removed. They are trying to take advantage of four girls who were 20 years old at the time and trusted the previous management. It is unacceptable and unprofessional for PEP to try to charge previous tenants for their incapability to obtain and retain sufficient records on their purchases or their unwillingness to reach out to previous management to recover the records. For a company that boasts on their website as "providing management expertise across almost 30 universities in 18 different states", PEP should know how to retain records and do their due diligence when they purchase a property. In addition to the bogus charges, they are unresponsive to their emails, which is frustrating when that is the only way to dispute a charge. I sent an email over two weeks ago and had to follow up four times to get a response. The community manager said she was looking into it right at that moment. Two days later, I have still not heard anything back. Sent another follow up email It is looking like our best option at this point is to take it to small claims court. If you live here now, just be warned and document everything yourself. It is a headache to deal with them, and I do not feel Pierce Education Properties should be trusted.

Eclipse is a great place to live! Everyone who works in the office is very helpful and actually listens to residents. This apartment complexes is much smaller (and quieter) but still has the same amenities as the big complexes in the area! Rent is very reasonably priced as well.

Assigned parking spot was not as promised. We signed a lease in December of 2020- so we were not last minute arrivals. The manager has since made this right, but it was a hassle that should have never happened. The apartment was not move-in ready from cleanliness and small maintenance details. During move-in, residents should have complete access to the elevators. We were constantly waiting on employees going up one flight of stairs. They made the process very slow. Prior to move in, we tried for 3 months to contact someone to pay the deposit. We were finally told by an interim “answering service/management” someone that it would be waived. It was not. The new manager said it’s not possible to waive deposit and admin fees. Currently, you can sign a lease at this apartment and pay no fees to apply or put down a deposit! - terrible customer service. I was told that both prior manager and district managers have been fired. Best of luck to the new manager as she tries to re brand this complex.
