Moving from NC to Augusta- I am looking for safe apts. in West Augusta (Washington: apartment complex, leasing)

[DisgustaTruth]

All are decent
Iron HOrse is right by the train tracks so it can be noisy (Iron Horse = Train)
Alexander's Place has a good location.. but that street can get backed up with traffic.
I knew someone who lived in Thornberry and she like dit very much.
Make sure to visit all of these aprtments at night as well as during the day.

You really can't go wrong with any of the ATC apartments. How well the management company takes care of its apartments and residents is a big factor in picking a place. Since the ATC apartments are kind of spread out, it comes down to what location works for you.

The trains ARE something to consider at Iron Horse. One section of the complex is very close to the tracks, but the back end of the complex is a good ways away. It can be something like living in the flight path of an airport. After awhile, you don't really hear it anymore. I think one of the bigger pluses of Iron Horse is its location. It's very convenient to either Richmond or Columbia County.

My daughter lived at Iron Horse for a couple of years and I was really impressed with how quiet it is at night. It's very well lit and there's usually a cop or two living in the complex. At the time, she had a couple of friends who lived in the same complex and they'd walk to each other's apartments after dark. She never had any problems, although you need to use caution and common sense no matter where you live if you're out after dark.

I will be working at MCG. Which apartment complex will be preferable location wise. What about Traditions at Augusta?

hanks much.

I used to live at Traditions At Augusta. The apartments are nice, but I didn't really care for the management but they probably have new ones by now as the complex was sold again right before I left. I didn't have any major problems and it's a very convenient location.

I live in Ironhorse and other than the trains (wish they would build a tunnel for them to go under the road on) I like it. Have not had any problem with crime, the price is good, the people seem nice, and it is close to most things.

There are a few gated aparments on Interstate 520 by the doubletree hotel. Its off of wheeler road.

Alexander road and the aparments on steven creeks are nice one's. The apartments on alexander road would probably be the best though.

[lolo2]

The apartments on wheeler road are good too.

Hi Joyie,
First, I would like to congratulate you on your move. Being a native North Carolinian (Born in Goldsboro--army brat and moved to Augusta) I know moving can be a tedious and arduous process. We in the CSRA welcome you! I have been a residence in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) most of my childhood and now adult life (50 years). The area has been progressing, which is a good thing. When I migrated back here from Texas, I moved in an apartment complex called, Mark Church Common. I stayed there about 2 years until I found a house. Mark Church Common is in a central location, minutes from Hwy 520-Booby Jones, Doctors Hospital, The YMCA, the Mall and many other stores and restaurants. I didn't have any problems when I stayed there (although I'm 6'3", 240lbs and didn't expect any lol). But for me getting married and having children, my stay at Mark Church would have been longer.
Where and whenever you move, I hope your stay here in the CSRA bring you many good fortunes and where ever you stay, I hope the community embrace you as they have embraced me over my many years.
Again Good Luck!
