What Happens on a tour of Rambler Atlanta?
Before You Go
Before your scheduled tour, reflect on the priorities you have for your apartment. Consider factors such as the number of desired roommates, preferred views and any specific requirements you may have. Having a clear idea of your preferences will streamline and personalize your tour experience.
Here’s a checklist to think through before your tour:
- Price range
- Preferred floor plan style (studio, 4×4, 5×5, etc.)
- Desired amenities
- Window preferences
- Bathroom specifications
- Pet accommodations
- Parking options
Prepare a set of questions for the leasing staff, as committing to a year-long lease is a significant decision. To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of 15 questions to ask on a tour.
Booking a Tour
Once you’ve made your list of preferences and questions, book a tour at our leasing office. You will be able to choose any available day and time that works best for you. We have dates available up to two weeks out!
If you have potential roommates in mind, try to find a convenient time for everyone to attend, allowing you to collectively ask questions and gather information. The duration of the tour is around an hour. It may take less time if you know what you’re looking for, but allotting an hour gives you plenty of time to ask questions, discuss with your roommates, and start your application!
Arriving at the Office
It’s tour time! When you arrive at Rambler located at 736 Peachtree St, you’re welcome to use available street parking in the surrounding area. Upon entry, you’ll be greeted by one of our Leasing Managers or Leasing & Marketing Associates who will take you through the tour and answer all your questions!

Exploring the Building
On the tour, you’ll get the full Rambler experience. You’ll start in the lobby and grab a drink from Daydreamer.
Next, you’ll explore the mailroom on the first floor before heading up the stairs to the second-floor study lounge, where you’ll see collaborative study spaces along with private study rooms.
From there, you’ll visit the 19th floor with the fully-equipped fitness center featuring treadmills, stair steppers, rowers, a free weight rack, and spin bikes. You’ll also check out the on-site saunas and yoga room.
Then, you’ll head outside to see the resort-style pool and lounge, complete with a hot tub and grills, perfect for barbecues.
When the tour wraps up, you’ll explore our model unit, The Watercolor –one of our 2×2 floorplans. This fully furnished apartment is a great way to see all of Rambler’s elevated fixtures and furnishings and get some decor inspiration!

Start Your Application
Once you’ve settled on the ideal floor plan for you and your roommates, you’ll kick off the application process.

For international students, we recommend completing your application in the leasing office to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the process.

Guarantor Details
The application will also ask about your guarantor’s information.
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, a guarantor is essentially someone who qualifies to co-sign a lease – like a parent or guardian. Given that most students may not qualify to sign a lease independently, the guarantor assumes the responsibility of the rental rate on your behalf.
Once you’ve finished your part of the application, your guarantor will receive an email to complete another brief section.
Signing Your Lease
Upon completing your application, you’ll be guided to sign your lease. Take the time to read through your lease thoroughly and ask any questions as they arise – signing a lease is a significant commitment and it’s crucial to understand the terms fully. After signing your lease and any supplementary documents, you officially become a future Rambler Atlanta resident! Congratulations!
