Dresden Forest Apartments

Zero complaints - great place to live! I never want to move.

I've lived here for about 2 years now and I'm quite satisfied. Great location with nice courtyards and lots of trees. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. I've only called the management a couple of times but each time they responded right away. The apartments are about 50 years old but they're well maintained and they don't cost an arm and a leg. No complaints.

This apartment complex is in a perfect location here in Brookhaven.It has the small town friendly feel that most places don't have anymore.Lots of large trees and friendly neighbors and a staff that is here to please.Also a large pool and lots of parking.Take a short stroll for bars,great food and lots of shops.All and all you cannot go wrong and everything you want or need is close by.Looking forward to meeting you soon!

I have been living here for a couple of years and I love it. It is simply the best deal you will find for your money in this area of Brookhaven. I regularly walk to bars and restaurants on Dresden Drive. It is in a top-notch school zone with plenty of parks and other amenities nearby. They used to be owner-managed but switched to a management company recently. The upkeep has remained the same while also adding the ability to pay rent and make maintenance requests online. The management has also given the boot to some problematic tenants which has resulted in a more peaceful and family-friendly community. There have been rent increases, as there are in every apartment complex, but quite frankly they were very underpriced to begin with and are still much less expensive than they could be. The vintage construction means that there are large, open courtyards which are rare in newer construction apartments these days. It has a gigantic pool and plenty of green space. If you are looking for an affordable, well-maintained place in a stellar location, you can't do better.

Dresden Forest is in the heart of Brookhaven right down the street from new bars and restaurants. Management enforces the rules, but that's what you want in an older complex. Negative reviews are just previous residents mad that their rent isn't $600 like it was before the area become so popular, or they have broken the rules and been asked to leave. Check it out. You'll be surprised how good of shape the units are in.

Worst manager and management company I have ever dealt with. The owners used to be descent people. Since they got a management company to take over all they want to do is get rid of the old tenants and bring new people in. Me and my wife lived there for over five years and they basically did us as bad as you could be done. The management sucks and the manager is as mean as they come. I personally wouldn't let Kenco or the manager at dresden forest manage a slumber party. They are terrible!

The owners of Dresden Forest outsourced its management to Kenco Apartment Communities, a company that is extremely incompetent and unprofessional in every way possible. They raised my buildings rent 26% on December 1st (Merry Christmas, right?) and, as a result, nearly half the building emptied out. 26% is a far cry compared to the rent increases they imposed to other tenants. It’s hardly surprising that they’re currently experiencing a high turnover rate and the general consensus among the tenants is that this apartment complex is going downhill quickly. After living here for 9 plus years, it’s clearly obvious that the owners have no respect or loyalty for their long term tenants and they only care about their bottom line. Avoid Dresden Forest at all costs.

Our Apartments were build in the 60's and the same family still own them. They might not be perfect of the up and coming young professinals but, we love the quite and the small town feel just minutes away from Atlanta. You wouldn't know it by the friendly friends went have near us. Plus one thing about an "older" Apartment is there pool is nine feet at one in. I'm sure there were some wild and crazy parties back when it was not a problem to have a diving board. John and I have made this our home since were now the same age as where we live.

This is apartment is older, has a bugs and mildew problems, and owners don't care about there tenants. Don't work weekends, takes for ever for some to fix something, unless it is a emergency to them, and is going to cost them money. When I first moved in I had a bad smell in my apartment, I believe there was a dead mouse in the stove, it took them over a month, before they finally removed the stove and put in a new one, once they did the smell went away.
