With so many options for student housing in the Midtown area near Georgia Tech, it can be hard to determine what place will be the right fit for you.
While we feel confident that Whistler’s various floor plans, top-notch amenities, and prime location will fit all of your college housing needs, we also know how difficult it can be to compare property options. To help you along in this process, we have conducted a review of another off-campus student housing option, Inspire.

This East Campus location holds the title of closest off-campus apartment and overlooks both Tech Tower and the football stadium. However, this location is on the west side of I-75/I-85 Downtown, whereas most off-campus housing is located in Midtown. It is a short walk to classes on east campus, about a 5-minute walk from many fraternities and sororities, and 12 minutes from the library and Tech Green.
