For students attending Georgia State University (GSU), choosing where to live can have a huge impact on daily life. It’s not just about the square footage of your apartment or whether there’s a pool on the roof (although Reflection has one of those too). It’s also about your surroundings—how easily you can get to class, grab coffee, explore local hotspots, and live your life without the stress of a long commute or parking hassles. Reflection’s convenient location in the heart of downtown Atlanta makes it an excellent choice for those seeking two-bedroom apartments near GSU, offering both walkability and seamless access to MARTA, bike paths, and nearby destinations.

That’s what makes Reflection Student Apartments such a standout choice. Nestled in the vibrant Peachtree Center district of Downtown Atlanta, Reflection offers an unbeatable combination of walkability, public transit access, and proximity to key student destinations. In a city as bustling and expansive as Atlanta, being strategically located near everything you need can make all the difference. This is more than convenience—it’s a lifestyle. Or as we like to call it: Location & Transportation — Live Downtown.

A Prime Downtown Location Steps from Georgia State University

Reflection is located just minutes from the Georgia State University campus, making it one of the most accessible housing communities for students.

No need to worry about catching a shuttle or dealing with long morning commutes. Just throw on your backpack and walk to class in minutes. That walkable advantage also means you’re more likely to stay engaged with student life, join on-campus events, and enjoy a well-balanced college experience.

In fact, with a Walk Score around 96, Reflection is considered a true “Walker’s Paradise.” Everything from classrooms to coffee shops is just steps away.

Excellent Access to Public Transportation

Don’t have a car? Not a problem. Reflection’s location in Downtown Atlanta is incredibly transit-friendly, making it easy to live independently without needing your own vehicle.

With Georgia State University within walking distance, your day instantly becomes more manageable. There’s no need to plan your schedule around bus routes or account for unpredictable traffic. Instead, you gain precious hours each week to sleep in, hit the gym, or simply breathe.

This kind of ease and flexibility defines the “Location & Transportation — Live Downtown” advantage.

Ideal for Car-Free Living (But Parking Is Available)

Not everyone wants to own a car during college—and at Reflection, you won’t need to. Everything is designed to support a car-free lifestyle, from walkable access to campus and local attractions to easy transit options.

That said, if you do choose to bring a car, Reflection offers a secure parking garage for an additional monthly fee. The best part? You won’t need your car every day, which means lower fuel costs and less wear and tear.

Having the option to live car-free while still having access to parking is just another way Reflection makes life easier for students.
