  TL;DR: Our experience was so bad that after six months, we terminated our lease. At the time of writing, The Delaney at East Park has a 4.8-star rating with 58 reviews. After closer inspection, this rating appears inflated, as many 5-star reviews are from people who do not live in the complex. Very few reviews come from actual residents, so I encourage readers to review them carefully. Move-in: My wife and I’s move-in experience was a mixed bag. We were scheduled to move in at the beginning of March 2025 but had to delay due to multiple issues. Our unit somehow passed inspection despite severe carpet stains, broken appliances, and cracked walls. Once these issues were brought to staff’s attention, they were addressed quickly, and we were compensated more than expected. The then-head of maintenance took responsibility and made things right. Shortly afterward, management completely changed and the entire staff was rotated out. In hindsight, this was not a positive change for residents, and our experience declined significantly after the transition. To be fair and objective, here are the pros and cons of living at The Delaney. Pros: Convenient location near downtown, Barrett Parkway, and I-75 Great gym with plenty of new equipment Excellent rooftop lounge (watching July 4th fireworks was a highlight) Brand-new appliances and a well-built unit No pest issues during our stay Cons: Excessive noise: The Delaney is within 15 minutes of KSU, and many college students live here. We dealt with constant partying, loud conversations, and people stomping in heels at all hours. On one occasion, someone upstairs was yelling so loudly that we thought they were outside our door. I am not confrontational, but I had to go upstairs multiple times to politely ask for quiet. Management eventually offered a free unit transfer, but by that point, we were already searching for another place. False fire alarms: During our six months, we experienced over 30 documented false alarms at all hours, including multiple 3 a.m. evacuations. Residents became desensitized and stopped evacuating altogether. On June 15, Cobb County Fire Marshal disabled the system due to ongoing issues, yet management failed to notify residents, which is the absolute bare minimum. We were given constantly changing explanations for the alarms, ranging from smoking and candles to faulty equipment and human error. When I cited this in our lease termination letter, the assistant manager told me this was normal for apartments, which is simply not true. We both knew this, but he decided to double down. That was not appreciated. Trash compactor: It is shared with the Ashton, frequently overflowing, and located directly next to the pool, creating a constant odor and unpleasant view. Elevators: The rooftop elevator inspection lapsed, and the elevator broke multiple times over the summer. On one occasion, it made a loud and violent mechanical noise just as we were about to board. Thankfully, no one was inside. Police presence: Toward the end of our stay, we noticed increased police activity. The night I moved out, I gave a statement to Kennesaw Police after witnessing a woman threatening a resident while beating on their door and balcony railing with a metal rod. Parking: Despite being told occupancy was around 60%, parking felt far more congested, with spaces taken by trailers, double-parked vehicles, and abandoned cars. Persistent marijuana odor throughout the property. I could go on, but Google has a 4,000-character limit for reviews. To be fair, Zach, who oversees the complex, understood our concerns and worked with us to reduce termination fees, which we appreciated. It would not be right to leave this out. Unfortunately, other members of management were not as kind and understanding as Zach. Due to the constant and serious issues we faced, we ultimately felt it was best for our family to find a home elsewhere. For the rent we paid, we expected a much better experience. Please consider this review carefully when choosing your next home.

  I had the pleasure of visiting this community as the very first apartment I toured in Cobb, and it set the bar incredibly high. From the moment I walked in, Dakota, Monica, and Jabril Abdul-Malik made me feel welcomed in a way that was genuine and unforgettable. What impressed me most was Monica’s leadership style. She doesn’t announce herself as the manager, but instead leads with humility and grace—truly embodying the spirit of a servant leader. That kind of quiet strength and care is the best reflection of a company’s values, and it shows in every interaction. I’ve toured many apartment communities, but none compare to this one. The staff here all show up uniquely, yet in perfect unison, creating an atmosphere that makes Maple Street shine. It’s rare to find a team that works together so seamlessly, and it makes this community stand out as a place anyone would be proud to call home. Even though I’m not able to move in right now, I have no doubt that these apartments will be filled quickly—because service like this speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a place where the people truly make the difference, this is it.

  Jabril was very helpful with move-in. Anything I need, I know I can always go to him!

  I am not a resident, however I took a tour with their amazing tour guide Jabril. He was so informative while being energetic and enthusiastic about the perks of the property and the benefits of living there. He was quick to inform us about any promotions and how we can stay connected with the Delaney. I loved my experience and would definitely recommend checking this place out!

  An old college friend’s son was accepted to KSU but couldn’t get housing, she called me and asked if I knew of any communities that they could look at in Kennesaw. Do I, why yes! The Delaney was perfect for them upgraded appliance package unique floor plans, the office team is kind and responsive, maintenance is on point. I came with them for a tour and boom, they leased! If you’re looking for that special place in Kennesaw, stop by the Delaney make sure you see the roof top patio deck on a clear day you are able to view all of Kennesaw mountain.
