I have lived here for the past 3 years.... the new owners landmark are not good. they over charge for their apartments and do nothing to keep them going. I have reported about faucets sticking out of my bathroom walls and the a/c leaking and the office puts in a "work order" and no one ever comes to fix it. These things were reported over 8 months ago multiple times with no change. The walls are also very thin. You can hear everything your neighbors are talking about so it feels as if there is very little privacy. As for the over charging most of the poeple in my building are leaving and i would not suggest these apartments to anyone.
I've been living here with my boyfriend for almost a year. Things people should learn about this apartment before moving in: The apartment complex's laundromat rips and snags clothing, tears things to absolute shreds (and the office couldn't care less). All the apartments are right next to pools, which sounds nice, but wait until summer comes and you'll be stuck with ridiculously loud people and children from dawn until dusk (and a lot of the time even into the night). There is no "normal" A/C system, it's an old p-tech thing you'd see in hotel rooms from the seventies. No gate, or fence or any safety measures taken by the complex, I've had my car broken into, and a bicycle stolen off of our ENCLOSED patio. The maintenance does shoddy work and always tries to get in and out as quickly as possible with doing the least amount of work. Our patio floods whenever it rains. Over all, this apartment complex is not great. Not at all. The only reason we moved in to begin with was because we had to find somewhere fast, and I regret it. It's cheap, but it's in a terrible neighborhood and you can hear firetrucks and police cars up and down the street multiple times a day. I honestly don't recommend this place to anyone unless you're in dire need for a crappy apartment. If so , this is your place.
Superb location and renovations are top of the line!
I love the way the owners and office people are willing to help with anything as long as you have communication with them. the apartment is beautiful and ver spacious. there are sheriff comming by the complex at different times of the day unexpected, it makes me feel secure. I would say it is in a very central place to attraction and dinning, on bus routs for those without a car. Go see for yourself and judge it, dont go by what people tell you. The only reason i am moving is because i need an apartment closer to my job. But to everyone that works in this community, I will keep on recomending you.
I have lived in this complex for 5-6 years. And it is the worst. Since I have been here they have gone through so many property management companies. And the staff has changed constantly. With the neighbors you have it is like having a live in roommate. You can hear EVERYTHING! I have heard fights, people having sex in the bedroom & the bathroom, you can even hear when they drop the soap in the bathroom, & even if they cough. There is no insulation in the walls so the apartments are always hot. I know that you can be expected to hear some things in an apt. But I have lived in a lot of apts & I have never been able to hear things SO clearly. It is like you are in the same room with the person. You can't have personal conversations because your neighbors can hear every word. The location is ok it is not that great of area. It is not the worst area as I would know growing up in Orlando. There are a lot rougher areas here. However it is not a safe place to live. Since I have been her I have gotten several notices about crime happening in the complex. I even witnessed on my neighbors beaten by a bunch of teenagers. He had to have his mouth wired shut after that beating. That was the second act of violence on this same man. Prior to that one of those guys robbed him in the parking lot. When he confronted the guy about robbing him that guy all of the others beat him down. It happened right on the stair case in front of his apartment. There was blood everywhere all over the steps. They apartment complex left it there & they didn't even clean it. Another time a person got robbed in the laundry facility. They opened the door for someone they saw that needed to get in & that person in turn robbed them. The complex sent notices about it & were like don't open the door for people. Please that laundry center is a dump. It is ALWAYS dirty & the door doesn't even lock now. If you pull on the door it just opens WITHOUT the key. So this could happen again even if you don't open the door. The tenants leave it open & they don't close it behind them because they know it doesn't work. Just recently on April 30 2010 & May 4th 2010 there were people who had their front doors kicked in & robbed. They sent us notices about it & are offering a $1,000 reward for info that catches the criminals. And just this week they sent notices that they are inspecting all of the entry way doors & making adjustments. The only positive I have had is with maintenance when I have called in a problem they were right on it like the next day. And it was usually taken care of. Oh the other thing I have to say is Luz in the office is REALLY nice & helpful. Every time I have spoken with her she has been nothing but nice. With all that being said I wouldn't recommend this apt to ANYONE! The bad outweighs the good. It is just an annoying place to live. I had to live her because of the being broke & having no choice. I am leaving soon after getting a better job now.
