I wish I could say that my experience at this complex was better, but overall it was just very unpleasant. The complex itself is very old and run down, and I saw no noticeable changes to this in the year that I lived there, save for the management space, despite the complex going through at least three company changes in the one year I was living there.

Outdoors - Always a mess. The trash was constantly overflowing, and I saw literal vultures outside by the trash more than once. Mold stains on the outside of apartment doors, and rust/peeling paint on all the outdoor metal surfaces (banisters, steps). The pool and hot tub were consistently in and out of service for maintenance, and I don t think it was up and running for more than a month at a time. The gates were finally fixed when I had about three months left of a twelve month lease, however they are constantly kept open during the day. What s the point of having a gate if it s open half the time? During the 9 months that the gate was not working, I was given the run around whenever I asked about it. I was originally told they would be fixed within the month.

Parking - If you work a night shift or get home late, don t expect to be able to park anywhere near your apartment. Visitor parking is also taken up by the tenants constantly. There is just not enough spaces for the amount of people jammed into the apartments.

Location - One of the few pros to this complex. It s located right on I-Drive, with easy access to the rest of Orlando.

Apartment - The apartment itself was small but nice and cozy, and the cheapest along this particular strip of I-Drive. Not worth it in my opinion. The walls and floors are very thin, so if your downstairs neighbor has a dog, children, or both, you will hear them constantly. Plenty of people playing loud music out of their garages or apartments at all hours of the night as well, so this is a good pick if you re a heavy sleeper!

Management - I believe at least three companies had ownership of the property while I lived there, and they just got worse, and worse, somehow. There was one manager that was actually good, and at least seemed genuine. The rest were incompentant at best. The ladies at the front desk were incredible however, and were always so sweet and helpful. I wish I remembered the super helpful manager s name, or the incredibly sweet woman at the front desk who helped me so many times. The man that had been working the front desk for awhile consistently had an attitude every time my roommate or I went in.

Move Out Process - This was a huge scenario all in itself, but there was a new manager there I had never met, who proceeded to be far less than polite. We agreed that I would mail in my key card by a certain date, I did with next day shipping, and she still charged me a $25 fee for it. Just incredibly sketchy business practice in that regard.

I do hope this complex improves, and I wish the supportive and helpful managers and front desk employees the best, but I would never, ever live here again, and can t recommend anyone else does either.
