Applying and getting approved from The Breakwater Apartments was extremely stress-free from the get go. I have a medium/large sized dog and his approval process was also very efficient. The Breakwater team has always been a joy to talk with whether I have any questions or concerns and I do appreciate how often they are available. I’ve been very pleased with living here, I’ve never had any big issues that are cause for concern and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rent.

The condominium is constantly littered with trash, showing a clear lack of maintenance and cleanliness. The stairways and handrails are always dirty, and the wood on some of the structures is deteriorating. The neighborhood is also a major issue, with loud noise late at night. The Night Patrol service is ineffective. They rarely answer the phone, and when they do, they create countless obstacles before they are willing to investigate a complaint. There is also very little supervision of the ...
common areas. It is common to see unauthorized people using the swimming pool. I have personally seen former residents returning with their families to use the pool on multiple occasions, with no action taken by management. Another disappointing policy is that monthly leases are not allowed, forcing residents into long-term contracts. This appears to be a strategy to make it difficult for unhappy tenants to leave, despite the poor living conditions. Overall, the property suffers from poor maintenance, inadequate security, lack of enforcement of community rules, and management that does not adequately address residents' concerns.

I love living at Breakwater Apartments. The management is friendly and responsive. The groundskeeping team keep the place neat and trim always. The pools, jacuzzis, and fitness center have been wonderful, and my own unit is new and everything works perfectly. I feel safe here. My neighbors are harmonious. Wonderful place.
