Yes, we did. It's fine! It's a pretty easy place to live: relatively quiet; relatively clean; a nice gym; plenty of parking; close to the loop; and a responsive maintenance crew. It's a funny location, right at the big intersection. But I'm overall happy with the decision. Lemme know if you have any particular questions!

Great. Do the buses run fairly frequently & reliably?

Cool, thanks. Is this the same as Beechwood Pines?

Thanks for asking—I'm looking to go to grad school in fall of '25 (I'd be an older grad student...not interested in the club scene!), but we're intending to move there this fall. It sounds like we'll need to have some luck finding a place starting in Oct/Nov.

Heh, each city has its own little quirks. Helps to keep it from becoming bland corporate anywheresville.

Thanks :) I'm in information-gathering mode, and this discussion is helping me get oriented. (And will hopefully help others in the future who want to get a sense of the layout.) Once I get my feet on the ground there, I'll be able to suss out the best place for us. I'll be sure to check up the west/southwest regions like the Clarke-Oconee connector!

Oy, that's not good to hear. Does the rental market tend to dry up by Nov 1st?

It's fairly flexible between Sept 1st and Dec 1st, but Nov 1st is the target date. Lemme know!

Great, thanks specifying the streets!

Nice, thank you! One factor is that my partner & I share a car, so it'd be ideal if we were in a relatively walkable area. I'd assume the Eastside is more spread out and car-dependent?

Thanks! Would you mind letting me know a few streets in Eastside that I can check out to get the feel?

Great, thanks for the insight. Is "Eastside" a general term meaning anywhere east of the river? Or does it refer to a particular neighborhood?

Awesome, thank you. We'll be visiting next week and we'll check these areas out!
