Greenbriar Apartments 1411 Happy Hollow Road, Dahlonega, GA 30533

"Only collecting rent every month, no maintenance at all. Apartments are nasty."

"I would NEVER recommend anyone stay at these apartments or any owned by this company. It's an incredibly unprofessional establishment and honestly a total scam. Our apartment flooded due to issues with the pluming system and we were told to "fix it ourselves". We were not given any maintenance or paid back for what we had to pay to fix the issue despite calling many times. They eventually started to just ignore us. I've also never really heard of anyone getting their deposit back from this place. It took them two months to even send us our deposit back and when we finally got it (after calling and emailing a million times), it was $400 short with no explanation! We called to ask about the shortage, and they said they'd send us "what was wrong" with the apartments. We had left it spotless and looking better than when we moved in. Their reason for us not getting back our deposit was that they found a pair of shoes that we had left behind outside beside our porch. They weren't our shoes and I know this for a fact because we were never able to open our back door due to the amount of bugs that were on the back patio. And even if they were ours, it did not cost $400 to dispose of a pair of shoes. Terrible management, terrible people, and honestly terrible apartments unless you don't mind constant issues with pests, plumbing, and the AC units."

"After having lived here for some time, I'd give this a 3-star rating. Rent is within relativity affordable, but this business can definitely be improved upon. They aren't open Wednesdays, and Sundays. Rent is not acceptable in cash form, only check or money orders. Needs more staff to handle leasing, showing, etc. Interior of home was a 3 out of 5 star also; Carpets were not clean, and not replaced once I moved in. Rips and tears at the doors, stains in them also. Appliances arent old, but not new. Had immediate issues with the A/C upon my arrival and it took roughly one week to have their technician to fix this in July heat. If I was to recommend this to someone, I'd definitely say to think twice before renting. Won't be staying here again."

"Absolutely horrible people. They have monopolized the rental market in and around the University and are clearly taking advantage of students. If you can find ANY other way to rent, do. And if they are disrespectful to you, report them to UNG, BBB and Chamber."

"Who in the world would rent from this nutcase? The pro-Ku Klux Klan sign that caused a stir in downtown Dahlonega on Thursday could be returning to the Public Square as early as next week, according to city officials. And all signs point to specific political motives for its placement. "An employee on behalf of landowner Roberta [Green-Garrett] has picked up an application to put the sign back on the building," said Mayor Gary McCullough Friday morning. "That's all I'm allowed to say about it." That sign deemed the old Piazza building a "Historic Ku Klux Klan Meeting Hall." Local historian Chris Worick said there is no basis for this claim and pointed out that the KKK has repeatedly failed to gain traction in Lumpkin County. The building does have a more recent history of controversy as Green-Garrett has repeatedly applied to tear down the neighboring Parks Building structure and replace it with a luxury hotel. Various versions of that plan have been denied by the city council and the planning & zoning board. For more than a year, local preservation groups and protesters have argued that the neighboring century-old Parks Building has "historic" significance and cannot be torn down. Now city officials find themselves faced with the possibility of a pro-KKK banner in the heart of a downtown district that is vital to Dahlonega's tourism economy. "If it meets the requirements we can't regulate what it says," McCullough said. "The U.S. Supreme Court says so." Though officials initially suspected that the sign was an act of vandalism, Sheriff Stacy Jarrard confirmed that Green-Garrett has not filed any criminal trespass charges. "I thought that it could have been someone, possibly a renter, that could have placed the sign but it's looking like that's not what happened," he said. Yesterday Dahlonega made headline news in Atlanta as protesters gathered beneath the KKK banner with signs of their own. Valerie Fambrough was one of the first on the scene with a poster that read "Not in My Town." Sarah Smallwood soon joined her with a sign that read: "I was raised in a town of love not hate!" City officials were able to remove the banner since it violated a sign ordinance. However, they had no grounds to remove the pair of flags emblazoned with the KKK crest and the Confederate emblem. For that they needed permission from building owner Green-Garrett, who was vacationing in Florida. As the crowd grew, The Nugget contacted Green-Garrett and asked her if she planned to have the KKK flag removed. She initially said she needed more information on the situation. An hour later the flags were taken down. Since the latest development at city hall, Friday morning calls to Green-Garrett have not been returned. Meanwhile, a "unity march" has been organized by the Georgia Mountains Unitarian Universalist Church in response to the sign and is scheduled for later today, Feb. 17."
