Dock 79 is an idyllic living environment. The staff and residents are very welcoming. Its conveniently located within walking distance of number of restaurants and stores. Additionally, the experience of living in a community along the water has a therapeutic affect!

The community is well kept and clean. Also, the staff is very professional.

April 2019-April 2020 and counted down the days till I left. It is NOT worth the stress, the smell, or the lack of customer service

August 17, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
I had a great layout and a balcony overlooking the water. When moving in, I received wonderful customer service. After about a month, the truth started to reveal itself. Positive things: -Decorated for most holidays -Variety of events -Security team was courteous -About half of the concierges were very personable Negative things and a few personal instances as a resident: -Consistent fishy smell throughout the halls that will stay in your clothes until you move (except in the common areas with ...
the toxic migraine causing plugs and the staff refused to remove or lessen the smell) -Immature, inexperienced management staff -Maintenance would have ‘routine’ checks almost monthly, claiming they need to replace vents, but what they actually do is go to your apartment and look around. I watched this on my nanny cam -Unreasonable office hours for people who work -My first day, I was promised they would put a Verizon tower since I only got service on my balcony and it was never installed -Events occur during traditional work hours -No vegan OR vegetarian options at events. -No non-alcoholic beverages at all events -Lack of customer service included not believing residents. I had a large package that was wrongfully placed in the refrigerator, ruining about $400 in products for my business. I had to argue for three months with the PM's boss to prove damages even though I sent pictures. As a result, I lost customers and they couldn't care less. -Printers either do not work -Spotty Wi-Fi when you are in the gym -Blatant favoritism towards certain residents -Claims to have off-site events, but registry links never worked -Treats and giveaways only apply for dogs -They allow children’s screaming birthday parties to continue nearly 24 hours, despite the many phone calls to security and the many residents actually in person complaining, they did nothing because it was a ‘private event’ -Restaurant noise will go on past quiet hours without staff intervening -When the world series occurs, good luck getting sleep and even more luck in getting to your apartment -You have to pay for guest parking (even when it is not baseball season). If there is a game, they have to pay the ‘game day’ price, which can exceed $50 for just 30 minutes -The pool is very loud with lots of intoxication, nudity, and children will squirt everyone with water guns including people with books that are far from the pool

All staff are very professional and try hard to satisfy clients/tenants needs. The were some slight miscommunication between the staff in leasing and billing on my account. My welcome letter was sent to me three times with changes made, and still does not accurately reflect the additions Ive made since moving in. I like the autopay option, and will enroll in that when my ledger has been updated to the correct amount.
