When I first moved into Cypress Winds, it was peaceful, no noise whatsoever. I loved my apartment, a cute 2 bedroom. In the last 9 months a large crowd of children (approx. 15 to 25 per day) have decided to gather and play in the grassy areas between buildings toward the back of the property. All I have to say, it would be quieter at an elementary school during recess. The children scream, bounce balls, leave their bikes in the walkways, play on stairs, leave open containers of food and soda
...and I have even found eaten chicken wing bones left on my stairs (hello rodents!). I am left to pick up after their mess. They ride their bikes in the parking lot in between cars and I have seen several cars get hit and scratched as they ride in between them. What was once nice landscaping, is now just dirt from them playing in the area. The noise is unbearable. When you come home from work, you want to relax and have a nice, peaceful meal. That will never happen as long as the sun is out. They are out there from the time they get home from school until sun down. It is absolutely ridiculous. Summer vacation is coming and it will only get worse. There have been people in nearby buildings that did not renew their leases as well due to the insane amount of noise and had I not waited too long before my lease renewal to find a new place, I would have NEVER renewed my lease here. There is a small play ground for the children, however, children rarely use it. It is too bad, because before the issue with the noise, I would have recommended Cypress Winds to everyone. Maintenance is fantastic, front office is friendly and the tenants are nice. I have never had an issue with neighbors, everything is always quiet, again but that is only when school is in session, it's raining or it's night. There was availability when I moved in for an apartment facing Manatee Ave, I chose not to rent that apartment due to the noise from the traffic, boy did I make a mistake, would have definitely been better than the back area where I am at now. Not sure if there is much management can do, but I would definitely suggest figuring something out because the children are driving the renters elsewhere, there has only been 1 apartment nearby that still have the same tenants as when I moved in. It's too bad.
