Top 3 Apartments in Gwinnett County

If I personally had to rent in Gwinnett County tomorrow, these are the three apartment communities I would start with. Not sponsored, not realtor advice — my honest local read on location, amenities, floor plans, and resident feedback.

#1

Windsor Sugarloaf Heights

Lawrenceville · Best overall balance in Lawrenceville

Windsor Sugarloaf Heights exterior

My number one pick, and it stood out for one reason: balance. Not the newest, not the flashiest — but the one that holds up best when you look at the full picture.

Location & Daily Life

On Sugarloaf Parkway with immediate I-85 access. Sugarloaf Mills — 180 stores, restaurants, and entertainment — is steps from the front door. For anyone relocating to Gwinnett who wants to land somewhere central and connected, this location does a lot of the work for you.

Resident Experience

Residents on RentCafe give it a 4.0 out of 5 across six reviews, with amenities and location both scoring 4.5. The most common themes are cleanliness, attentive management, and fast maintenance. Parking scored lowest at 3.5 — that's worth asking about on a tour. Windsor Communities has also been ranked the number one property management company for resident satisfaction five years in a row.

#2

Constellation Park

Duluth · Brand-new 2025, strongest amenity package on the list

Constellation Park exterior

Brand new in 2025, and it made this list because it does everything well — location, amenities, and floor plan variety all in one community.

Location & Daily Life

On Satellite Boulevard, right near Sugarloaf Parkway and I-85. Shopping and dining are close, parks are nearby, and if you have kids, you're zoned for Peachtree Ridge High School. It's a well-positioned address in Duluth.

Resident Experience

This community is so new there are only two verified reviews right now, and both praised the staff. That's a good early sign, but the track record is still being built. On a tour, ask about parking, noise between units, and what the total monthly cost looks like after fees and utilities.

#3

The Margot

Lawrenceville · Brand-new 2024, design-forward and the luxury pick

The Margot exterior

A brand-new 2024 community at 2300 Margot St in Lawrenceville. The design is what stands out first: an infinity-edge pool framed against a dark barn-style clubhouse, two dog parks, a full fitness center, and an on-site coffee shop and cocktail bar called The Barista & Baker.

Location & Daily Life

Near Collins Hill Road and Sugarloaf Parkway — Georgia Gwinnett College is about five miles out. Walkability is limited here, so check how your actual daily commute maps before committing.

Resident Experience

Only two Apartments.com reviews right now, so there isn't enough of a pattern to lean on — ask to speak with current residents when you tour. Note: the listed monthly rent already includes a $110 convenience fee, so get the full all-in number before you apply.

Prices and availability change often — everything above is a research snapshot, not a live quote. Always confirm current pricing directly with the property before applying.
