Guys, I work for ATP and I’m helping to get the facility up and running. I’m not here to promote ATP but do want to promote the area because it has a lot to offer and I’ve enjoyed my time there.
The entire area around the apartments is actually brand new. The apartments are upscale with a nice workout center, pool table and bar. The apartments are also secured by gates. I’ve stayed at a Country Inn & Suites across the street at least 20 nights this year and I’ve had no problems.
There are several restaurants within one mile of the apartments. Longhorn Steakhouse, Locos (try the southern burger with BBQ sauce cooked into middle of the burger and smothered in cheese) Moes, Chipolte Mexican Grill, an authentic Japanese place and Mellow Mushroom Pizza (awesome pizza and good selection of beer on tap). There is also a Starbucks drive through conveniently located on the way to the airport, just before getting on 316.
If you want to drive 10 minutes, go to The Mall of Georgia. They have PF Changs, Mimis, Macaroni Grill, etc…There is supposed to be a great Italian Restaurant in downtown Lawrenceville but I haven’t checked it out yet.
There is also a Publix and AMC movie theater right across the street from your apartments.
For you golfers, there are a couple of nice public courses close to the airport. I usually hit the range at the Trophy Club of Apalachee after work. TPC Sugarloaf is right down the street too, but you’ll need to know someone to get on. You guys won’t have time for golf anyway but if you get the drift, you’re in a pretty nice part of town.
Lawrenceville has been my home away from home, I think you guys will like the area.
