Populus Waterside Apartments utilizes Get100, a fraud prevention system in partnership with CLEAR® to screen all rental applications. This includes digital identity verification and AI-powered technology to authenticate supporting documents. Submitting a rental application or any documents-such as pay stubs, bank statements, identification, or other personal records-on behalf of another person without legal authorization constitutes a violation of state and federal law. We actively cooperate with local, state, and federal authorities to report and prosecute all instances of identity fraud.

Now that I’ve been here for a month, I can confidently say the property and amenities are immaculate. The staff is friendly, my packages have arrived without any issues, and I truly feel at home. Having recently relocated to Chattanooga, I’m incredibly grateful to have found this community.

My new place is very cozy and nice. Me and my kids are surrounded by amazing neighbors. Everyone that works in the leasing office is very nice and understandable and are willing to help in every way that they can.
- Brittany H.

I’ve lived at Populus Waterside Apartments for 9 months. I originally signed a 6-month lease and extended for another 3 months. I’m only moving because of a career relocation to another state. Otherwise, I would absolutely stay. This community has been a fantastic place to live.
- Jeffrey R.

I had a great experience at this apartment community thanks to the staff. They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about residents and the property. Highly recommend working with them!
- Joni

The leasing staff has been great. They are able to answer questions and take care of problems almost immediately. If not, they know who to call and do that almost immediately. Any issues we’ve had with Maintenance inside the apartment have been taken care of very promptly. If Maintenance is unable to take care of it, they will give us a timeline on when it will be taken care of. They truly do a great job!
