      • DO NOT MOVE HERE

        June 28, 2020
        This is by far the worst student apartment I’ve ever encountered and I was a student for 6 years at 4 different properties. The staff is condescending and unresponsive. For example, I asked a leasing consultant about the move out process and she put her hand in my face and told me to stop when I asked follow up questions. Additionally, the apartments are infested with roaches. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to exterminate only to find out that nearly every unit had a problem. Finally, the ...
        buildings are old and not well kept, so expect leaks from your upstairs neighbors (bath, AC, and anything else). I honestly think this establishment should be torn down and I wouldn’t wish this living experience on my worst enemy!

      • Just moved in, could not have gone smoother

        April 30, 2020
        Everyone I've dealt with during the move-in process has been very helpful and friendly! They work quick too, needed to find a place very last second and they got me in with incredible speed. Apartment is very nice, clean, and honestly bigger than I was expecting. Rent is incredibly reasonable for this size of a unit, they were also very helpful with walking me through the process of getting renters insurance & setting up my account with the electric company as this is my first time renting an ...

      • Really think before you go

        February 8, 2020
        I lived there for 2 years. In the time I lived there I had neighbors who harassed me and my dog. Rouches that would not go away and bats that lived in the roof of my apt. The office did not care a bit about the apartment complex. As well the maintenance people did not know how to fix anything. My shower/tub broke about a month living there and when they finally came to fix it the thing was stuck on shower and I could never take a bath and they never came to fix it. They said since it work that it ...
        was not emergency to fix. Please rethink living there. I wish I did.

      • Can't wait to move out

        October 9, 2018
        Do not move here what so ever. We went through a run around to even get our application done to move in because the front office is not efficient at all and their staff really doesn't know what they are doing. They wouldn't even show us the apartment until after we paid the first months rent which set off so many flags but we were desperate at the time. The paint on the walls is complete trash and you can see where they just painted over dirt and things. The AC is so stupidly laid out that always ...
        makes the apartment hot. Good luck ever getting the office to answer your calls if you need something you have to go to the office and make sure they actually write it down. When we moved in we complained about there being roaches and the problem wasn't even acknowledged until months later and it is a continuous problem. Please do yourself a favor and RUN from this place.

      • THIS PLACE IS A NIGHTMARE!!! STAY AWAY!!!

        May 22, 2017
        1 star is too much. Forget the monthly shootings, drug trafficking, and arson. Every room is literally infested with cockroaches. I read the reviews before moving in and just assumed people were exaggerating. Nope. At any given time, in any given room, I could point out 10 live German roaches. This is with an exterminator visiting every week! It took several months of complaining in the office and a letter from an attorney to eventually allow the exterminator to fumigate the house (he had ...
        recommended it but the complex wouldn't pay for it). It cured the problem for a month before the problem came back. There's the time it took them 2 MONTHS to fix my A/C unit in the summer. They opened up my 1st story apartment window and stuck a portable unit in there. By the way - none of the windows had locks and were never repaired after a year of requests. When my A/C unit was finally replaced, they ripped a hole in my wall and pulled out the old unit. Inside the walls were layers and layers of black mold. Took a picture of this and brought it to the office and someone named Chris took my phone out of my hand and deleted the picture (as if I couldn't go back to my apartment and take another?). Again, the office never responded to my request to get it fixed. When they installed the new unit, it was the wrong size. It stuck out past the wall, into my living room, and was never covered! I literally was left with a giant hole in the wall with an A/C unit sticking out of it, surrounded by mold of all colors. You're probably thinking, "okay not living here", but it gets better. After moving out, I received a call from a hostile debt collector who spoke through a voice changer several months later stating that I owed them upwards of $1000 for not giving them notice to move out (despite giving the required written notice). For two months, the office would not answer my calls to explain what was going on. After yet another letter from my lawyer and obtaining the cell phone number of the regional manager of the property (nasty woman) from their corporate office, I was able to get them to stop attempting to collect from me and return my security deposit. And even more laughable? There are two positive reviews on here are both from people who work in the office. Maybe they should leave their pictures off? They are currently in the middle of a class action lawsuit for many of the same issues I had. I am sorry if you decide to fall for this scam.

          Dear Valued Resident, We are very sorry to hear about your past experience. That is certainly not the impression we would have liked to leave you with as you move out. The safety, health, and general well being of our residents is of our utmost concern. It appears you moved out of the community some time ago. The previous employees you mention have not been a part of the community for a year or more. Since then the community has changed management companies, and pest control companies. Our current pest control company is Massey, which is an extremely reputable company that provides quality extermination care. In regards to your past due balance it appears that your debt was assigned to a collection company. The community office can help explain any charges that were assessed to your account, and hopefully provide some additional clarity in regards to past due amounts. Please feel free to give the property manager a call at 407-282-7333. It would be our pleasure to assist you with any ...

      • I wish I could give "The Place" zero stars

        May 1, 2016
        The Place At Alafaya is the most crooked and disgusting environment I've ever lived in. Before I moved in I was promised a hard wood flooring plan, a laundry machine and an apartment that would "probably" not go up in rent fee. None of these circumstances came to fruition. The moment I moved in I noticed that the entire apartment was flooded with leakage from the inside air conditioning unit. I originally thought that the carpet was wet from carpet cleaning but I quickly realised that the unit ...
        was leaking because the drain pipe to the compressor was broken and not bringing condensation outside. It took 5 months to have this fixed and when it was the compressor stopped I working. It took another 2 months to have management finally replace it. I then realised that the entire apartment was infestedall of the pain and heartache that I have dealt with here I have gotten a renewable notice where they jack my rent up $50. This place sucks and you will thank yourself for not living h. It's disgusting and disappointing. with roaches. No good! After

        April 24, 2016
        The money you save on rent you swill spend double on bug spray and lack of sleep. Its as if the apartment was done DIY but with a 30 dollar budget. Drive in any time and you will see a worker store someones new "wood floor" by rolling it up and throwing it out of their truck into the street. to then be superglued over your existing floor.

        When I moved into my apartment, the AC was broken and the cabinets were so crooked that most did not even open. We realized later on that the place was infested with roaches, and the incompetent staff said they would send pest control out. That was over 8 months ago. We have had two major water leaks, the AC break 9 times, the locks break twice, and the shower stop running. Mold and mushrooms were growing out of our walls, which were painted over as a "repair."

      • The Place at Alafaya doesn't even deserve 1 star

        October 8, 2015
        These apartments are old. The new management is better than the last but they treat you like you are in a dorm, or even a child they don't like. They complained about me having purple curtains they could see on the outside saying they wanted a uniform appearance for any incoming potential residents to want to live here. The plumbing in my building is so horrible that this is the 6th time in the 2 years I have lived here that I will have to have a plumber come out and clear the main line. It took ...
        maintenance a combined 3 times between both owners to fix the air conditioning (twice with the new, once with the old.). They are supposedly fixing all the new problems for the incoming residents, but with the way they have responded to the current residents I would advise staying away until the owners start delivering on their promises. If you decide to rent here, it is over priced $770 for a 1 bedroom is the lowest (these prices were quoted to me at the beginning of May 2015), and be prepared for less than 24 hours notice of any apartment entry or any maintenance, i.e. the water being shut off (i received the email warning me an hour before they shut off the water for the day to fix the main line). My advice just please be careful if you are looking to rent on this property.
