Lakes at North Port Apartments

management staff.

Residents keep paying a pest control fee for nothing. I know that neighbors who moved in after me left within months due to the infestation and I can't blame them. Forget about a deposit coming back. I had the place cleaned, baseboards repaired (which were noted as damaged at move-in) at my expense when they weren't from existing water damage prior to move-in, maintenance requests showing leaking windows from rain, which happens a lot in Florida, among other things. Always reported on time. Instead of a call or email, received a letter about collections due to damages, yet was inspected prior to move out and told everything was fine. Have a feeling the office administration felt they could place charges outside of what maintenance reported. Maybe send an email if there are charges, even if they are illegitimate. Property management had no problem sending a survey and request for a recommendation after move out but no contact otherwise? Definitely no phone calls - call records would prove that. Paying rent online, you'll get a nice fee, minimum 35 but up to 100! So much for convenience. As for the amenities, you won't be using the clubhouse, it was a storage room the entire time I lived there, and the pool was constantly closed for various issues unrelated to covid. The more recent Maintenance staff are actually decent people who do a good job, as long as they are approved to use resources, it's out of their control. The problem becomes the property manager. Corporate offices should really interview the majority of residents, without notifying the property manager ahead of time, and they will hear the same. Costs are cheap but expect your rent to raise at a minimum of $200 a month each year. Apparently, they justify it by claiming it's their ‘market value'. While new locations are built nearby, they aren’t infested with roaches yet, new appliances and not falling apart cabinetry such as what I and many other residents at lakes of north port experienced.

fixed properly at all, no parking at night (unless you walk across the whole complex) it just goes on and on. PLEASE don't make the same mistake I did. I cannot wait til my lease is up!!!

allowed is nice. We have nice neighbors, it’s quiet. Bad side not much storage, no patio or deck.

nothing that can really be done because roaches TRAVEL AND LIVE IN THE WALLS. My neighbors will agree that the whole building is infested. Staff refuses to solve issues and are so RUDE as if we want to be harassing them about having german cockroaches. It is absolutely DISGUSTING how we have been treated over a problem we did not cause. The staff will argue with us saying “pest control is saying one thing and you’re saying another” as if we are lying to them about having an infestation. We go into the office once a week to complain and the issue has yet to be resolved. I have gone as far as calling a private pest control company and paying $200 out of pocket to hire a private pest control company, just to them to say there’s nothing they can do when the roaches travel through the apartment walls. We are killing 5 every single day and apartment complex management REFUSES to move us to another unit or let us out of our lease. Will be calling an attorney. Please take this seriously if you are EVER considering moving here! I have a small child (1 year old) and this apartment is one of the worst mistakes of my life!

we over worked it by turning it low...its Florida and the middle of summer. In december when i made the mistake of turning the heat on the apartment was smokey and smelled of burnt rubber. They adiviced me not to turn the heat on and said it was working"properly". Community: Every Sunday without fail there are full on parties at the pool thrown by people that don't even lease here. They get pretty loud. Laundry and "gym" are in the same general area so there is no missing it. Those people take up all availble parking spots next to the 3 front buildings. Stair cases and walkways are filthy. Dog poop is everywhere you walk. They threathen you with a $100 fee if you don't clean up after your animals but that is clearly not effective. The smoking rate of those who live here is outrageous. It wouldn't be such a problem but the "smoker perch" anywhere they please. They assign smoking areas but its's not enforced. this means if you have to walk to your car or walk your dog you are forced to inhale those toxins unless you cover your face with your shirt. Constantly having to yell excuse me because they sit in the middle of the stairway.

lately because of new season. said they would stop in on wednesdays & spray, over a month ago & still no spraying for bugs. they over charge & under deliver. i pay $1000 a month for 900 square feet.
