Current Pricing and Availability by Floor Plan
| Floor plan type | Beds/Baths | Sq ft | Price range (July 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 0/1 | 585 to 622 | $1,330 to $1,390 |
| One bedroom | 1/1 | 678 to 951 | $1,579 to $2,014 |
| Two bedroom | 2/2 | 1,100 to 1,240 | $1,999 to $2,214 |
| Three bedroom | 3/2 | 1,374 to 1,441 | $2,349 to $2,532 |
The spread inside a single floor plan is the more useful number. Studio plan S3, 622 square feet, listed anywhere from $1,388 to $1,813 across its available units, a roughly 30% difference for an identical layout, driven by floor height and view rather than square footage.
Why do prices vary so much for the same floor plan? Floor level and view drive most of the spread. SkyHouse Buckhead’s S3 studio, for example, has run $1,388 to $1,813 for the identical 622-square-foot layout depending on which floor the unit sits on.

A studio renter with one cat who wants a guaranteed spot pays $925 before move-in ($175 plus $250 plus $500), then adds $30 pet rent and $125 assigned parking to every monthly statement after that. On a $1,388 studio, the effective monthly number lands closer to $1,543 than to the advertised $1,388. The recurring costs are tied to specific choices, a pet, a reserved spot, a storage unit, rather than a blanket monthly surcharge everyone pays regardless of what they use.

What Current Residents Say
Apartmentratings.com hosts 95 independent resident reviews for this address, separate from the Apartments.com and ApartmentHomeLiving review pool. Read together, a handful of themes repeat: several reviewers describe carpet or flooring that should have been replaced before move-in; dishwasher and HVAC-fan complaints appear in multiple, unconnected reviews; a few residents mention slow-to-repair entry doors or elevators.
On the positive side, staff responsiveness and the 26th-floor SkyDeck views draw independent praise, and at least one long-tenured reviewer describes management as having improved noticeably over recent years.
- Recurring positives: staff and leasing-office responsiveness; skyline views from higher floors; hallway noise is more noticeable than neighbor-to-neighbor noise.
- Recurring complaints: unrepaired flooring at move-in; dishwasher and appliance reliability; occasional elevator or entry-door outages; cosmetic wear befitting a decade-old high-rise.
What do current residents complain about most often? Flooring left unreplaced at move-in and appliance reliability are the two complaints that show up most consistently across the 95 reviews on Apartmentratings.com.

- Renters comfortable with a decade-old building: reviews describe cosmetic wear more than structural problems.
