We are leaving in this apartment from last 3 years. This is very quiet and safe place to leave with family. Also, location is very close to the food market and restaurants. Easy to get a public transportation. Facilities such as swimming pool and gym are also good options for the residents. - Patel Manishkumar

A review by Keith Wolk. So nice and quiet with Bulter Plaza with everything you need within 5 minutes walking distance. Management is fantastic and the residence and grounds very clean. Highly recommended.

Love this place, love the management

June 21, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I have had the pleasure of living in the Spanish Trace Apartments for over three years now and I must say, it has been an exceptional experience. This apartment complex has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. From the exceptional professionalism of the property manager, Jessica, to the unparalleled efficiency of the maintenance person, Ron, everything about this place screams five stars! Jessica, the property manager, is an absolute gem. Her promptness and attention to detail are truly ...
commendable. From the moment I first inquired about the apartment complex to the day I moved in and beyond, Jessica made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She was always available to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met. Her dedication to providing excellent customer service is truly remarkable. Maintenance person Ron also deserves a special mention. He is incredibly skilled and efficient when it comes to addressing any maintenance issues that arise. I had a couple of minor maintenance requests while I've lived here, and Ron always showed up promptly and resolved the issues with utmost professionalism. His expertise and commitment to ensuring the residents' comfort and satisfaction are truly commendable. One of the standout features of the complex is its unbeatable location. Situated near the bustling Butler Plaza, residents have easy access to an array of amazing stores and restaurants, making shopping and dining a breeze. Additionally, the short drive of less than 10 minutes to anywhere on the University of Florida Campus is a major convenience for students and staff alike. Apart from its convenient location, it also boasts a serene and family-friendly atmosphere. The complex is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a peaceful and quiet living experience. It is the perfect place for families, as the community is safe, well-maintained, and offers a range of amenities for children to enjoy. Affordability is another major plus point of this complex. The rent is reasonable, especially considering the quality of the apartments and the amenities provided. Spanish Trace offers excellent value for money, making it an ideal choice for individuals and families looking for a comfortable and affordable place to call home. -Kix and Billy
