The full fee stack
| Fee | Amount | One-time or recurring | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $125 | One-time | Per applicant |
| Administrative fee | $250 | One-time | Per unit |
| Utility account setup fee | $20 | One-time | Per unit |
| Security deposit | $750 to $1,000 | One-time, refundable | Per unit, by floor plan |
| Utility billing service fee | $4.45 | Recurring monthly | Per unit |
| Pet fee | $300 | One-time | Per pet, up to 2 |
| Pet rent | $10 | Recurring monthly | Per pet |
| Parking | $35 to $90 | Recurring monthly | Per vehicle |
Add the one-time charges to the cheapest available one-bedroom and a renter should budget roughly $2,683 due at or before move-in: $1,538 in rent, a $750 deposit, a $125 application fee, a $250 administrative fee, and a $20 utility setup fee. That’s before any pet fee or parking spot, which add $300 to $390 more in the first month alone.
Three listing sites quote three different ranges on the same day. Zillow shows a market range of roughly $1,600 to $2,800, Apartments.com shows $1,538 to $3,372, and ApartmentList shows $1,593 to $2,226. None of these figures is wrong; each pulls a live feed at a different hour and often surfaces a different subset of the 375 units, so a screenshot from one site will rarely match another taken the same afternoon.
Why do rent ranges differ between Zillow, Apartments.com, and other listing sites? Each aggregator refreshes its feed independently and may only display a portion of currently available units, so the low and high ends shift by source and by hour.
Location and Commute
Getting around scores a Drivability of 80 out of 100 and a Transit score of 50, a wider gap than the walk to Lindbergh Center MARTA station alone would suggest. Interstate 85 and GA-400 sit close by, and HowLoud’s Soundscore rates the area 68 out of 100, flagging traffic as the busiest noise source and airport noise as calm.

What Residents Report
The 1.1-star Apartments.com score and Birdeye’s 3.9-star, 263-review score describe the same property because they’re drawing from different pools. Apartments.com’s panel is small, seven reviews total, and self-selecting toward people motivated enough to log a formal complaint. Birdeye aggregates a much larger and more mixed set. Two independent accounts add texture the star counts alone don’t. One resident’s account, posted on CorporateHousing.com, describes a 15-year-old dog shaking for days after unusually loud fire-alarm testing, the kind of detail a star rating alone can’t convey. A second, on ApartmentHomeLiving.com, describes a noise complaint where management’s proposed fix was a move to a different unit at a higher rent.
Is a 1.1-star rating from 7 reviews meaningful? It’s a real signal but a thin one. A six-out-of-seven 1-star skew can happen from a handful of frustrated movers as easily as from a systemic problem, and Birdeye’s 263-review sample for the same address tells a noticeably different story.
Fine Print to Get in Writing
- How the free month is applied. AMLI’s lease language states the current concession reduces future base rent across the lease term, not a lump sum at signing.
- Exact parking cost and spot type. Rates run $35 to $90 a month; get the specific type, open versus gated, in writing before move-in.
- Pet fee and pet rent totals for your household. Both the $300 one-time fee and the $10 monthly rent are charged per pet, up to two.
- Employer discount confirmation. AMLI markets a “Preferred Employer Discount” without listing qualifying employers online; confirm eligibility before counting on it.
Does the 1-month-free special mean a free month, or a discount spread over the lease? Per AMLI’s terms, it lowers future base rent instead of issuing a one-time credit, so the savings show up gradually across the lease term.
How It Compares to Other AMLI Communities Nearby
| Community | Distance | Rent range | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMLI Lenox | 2.1 mi | $1,731 to $6,895 (1 to 3 br) | Wider unit mix, closer to Lenox Square |
| AMLI Flatiron | 2.1 mi | $1,555 to $3,308 (1 to 2 br) | Comparable entry price, similar unit mix |
| AMLI Arts Center | 2.4 mi | $2,017 to $5,537 (1 to 2 br) | Midtown-adjacent, higher entry price |
| AMLI Parkside | 3.7 mi | $2,189 to $3,649 (1 to 2 br) | Old Fourth Ward, no unit under $2,189 |
| AMLI Decatur | 5.0 mi | $1,696 to $4,016 (1 to 3 br) | Decatur city center, farther from Buckhead corridor |
| AMLI Brookhaven | 6.7 mi | $1,866 to $4,869 (1 to 3 br) | Brookhaven MARTA access instead of Lindbergh |
Among the six sister properties, only AMLI Flatiron and AMLI Lenox list an entry price below Piedmont Heights’ $1,538 floor, and both sit the same 2.1 miles away, toward Buckhead rather than toward Lindbergh’s MARTA corridor. Source: Apartments.com nearby-listings data.
Assigned schools
| School | Grades | GreatSchools rating | Students |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden Hills Elementary | PK-5 | 7/10 | 480 |
| Sutton Middle School | 6-8 | 7/10 | 1,655 |
| North Atlanta High School | 9-12 | 7/10 | 2,393 |
All three assigned schools rate 7 out of 10 on GreatSchools, a consistent middle-tier band across the full PK-12 span this address feeds into.
What income is required to qualify, and does the 30% rule match AMLI’s screening standard? RentDeals lists the property’s stated screen as three times the monthly rent in verifiable household income, which for the cheapest unit works out lower than the generic 30%-of-gross rule most sites repeat.
Who It Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Good fit: renters who value the 3x-rent income screen over the stricter 30% shortcut, anyone comparing several AMLI Lindbergh or Buckhead properties side by side, and lease-length flexibility seekers (terms run 3 to 13 months).
- Weaker fit: renters budgeting off the lowest quoted price without confirming it’s still listed, and anyone who needs a lump-sum move-in discount rather than a concession spread across the lease.
Renter Protections to Know in Georgia
Georgia caps security deposits at two months’ rent under a law that took effect July 1, 2024 (O.C.G.A. ยง44-7-30.1), and landlords must return the deposit, minus documented damage, within 30 days of move-out. The state has no rent-control statute, so nothing limits how much a renewal can increase. Georgia sets no fixed statewide notice window for a landlord entering the unit; the lease’s own entry clause controls. Landlords must give 60 days’ notice before ending a lease.
