Its amazing all these reviews are practically my same story! I am also never one to write reviews unless I really need to. I have lived here about 4 months now and there as been problems SINCE DAY 1!!!! The apartments are really nice indeed and the landscaping is very pretty. But dont let that fool you. I too had the same problem with arriving on my moving day and having NUMEROUS repairs that were promised to be fixed and WERENT , that took WEEKS TO GET REPAIRED. The problem is that the community are actually condos and a management company rents out apartments. The front office wont help you with ANYTHING and refers everything to a number in St Pete. The maintenance comes from St Pete! The biggest problem is my dryer vent. It takes 1 1/2 hours to dry a load and I still have to iron the clothes! :( I was told its the HOA's responsibilty to fix it and the HOA people are telling me it cost them too much to fix it! The owner upstairs INSTALLED WOOD FLOOR! So imagine the noise level there! Its horrible and depressing. Last but not least, I rented the clubhouse from the HOA for $100 and the day of NO ONE SHOWED UP to open the door! Out of desperation I went to the condo of the the real estate broker that works EVERYDAY out of the clubhouse. Her husband answered the door very annoyed and told me that this was the 4th week in a row that this happened and its not their problem. I begged him to open the door b/c people were about to arrive. He kept telling me about how bad the HOA is and told me to ask someone else for help. I became so upset that he was deciding to use me as an example and told me I was on the verge of tears. HE then told me I was stupid and we then HAD A SCREAMING MATCH in the parking lot! I was told by other tenants that he is a big bully and they were very right!! All the HOA members have some SERIOUS POWER issues and they bully people at the people and are very rude because ""they are on the board"" FIND A LEGITIMATE APARTMENT COMPLEX with on property leasing management and maintenance!!!!
