The One at University City

There is urine on the floor regularly, your car gets towed by mistake, smells like THC all the time in the hallways. Neighbors are nice.

Good location. Downside is parking is extra

I would recommend leasing elsewhere due to the fact that management is never helpful and the property amenities are never clean. It is definitely overpriced for 1x1

If this were a YELP review it would be a negative one. The carpet smells really bad, to the point that I wake up so stuffy, barely breath. Thankfully my window opens so at least I can breath fresh air. The One towed my car even though I pay $150 a month. I was told by others its a scam. It is the luxury of living across the street from school. I tell myself its a sacrifice all together to get closer to my dreams.

Typical student housing apartment. Nice amenities and they come quick when you need service.

close to campus pretty clean small bedrooms and small kitchen space

This apartment is in a great location and is beautiful and up to date. HOWEVER, it would be nice if the apartment building management actually managed the building. The building itself is dirty and gross, with dog poop, vomit, and other things on the floors. The walls are marked up and disgusting. The rooms themselves are nice, but there are so many issues. The windows don’t close, the ac is hot, the dryers have issues and it takes SO LONG for management to come and when they come, issues aren’t even fixed. for the amount of money they charge, they should upkeep the building- they don’t care about student and know it’s our only option and take advantage of us. Also, when I moved in, they gave me a room that they didn’t check and it was disgusting. Then they assigned me a different room that was INFESTED with roaches. Long story short, after assigning me EIGHT rooms, only one was clean. You can’t even choose

Management responds on approach. Occasional issues with resident access card. Appliances and furniture are clean and functional but necessary maintenance took nearly two months to be completed. Internet functions without issue.

Neighbors are occasionally loud as is the first floor construction I am currently living with. Living close to the Tamiami Trail highway means having to deal with constant emergency vehicle sirens throughout the night and day along with any other loud cars.

Walkability to campus is excellent and one of the main reasons I am living here but the road dividing the campus from the apartment is dangerous to cross and one must pay attention at all times when crossing. A replacement bridge has been planned.

I worked full time in student housing for a year prior to moving in, so this may color my perspective. The staff (for the sake of this review I'm only referring to front-desk agents) that I've interacted with have largely been unprofessional, and I once waited almost 30 minutes in front of the desk, with an employee sitting there, taking people behind me, and using their phone. Furthermore, due to being a graduate student who starts my semester earlier, I needed to move in earlier. This was eventually accommodated, with an exorbitant fee ($650 to move in a week earlier), and a day before my early move in, they told me my apartment wasn't ready. After confrontation with an employee, I was informed it was "ready" but still required painting. Fast forward the following day of move in, my room was apparently still not ready?

I then had to move my things into my roommates room and then move in later that day. I say all this because this means either (1). Management did not coordinate with the contractors to ensure people who paid more than half the cost of a monthly installment of rent's room was ready on time for a week earlier move in or (2). I was getting consistently incorrect information from the staff. This besides some trivial interactions that do not need mention, the staff and/or management is not great.

For the positives, when I do not need to interact with staff, the premises itself is very nice. For the price and proximity to campus, it is well and truly worth it. I will be renewing, largely for convenience, but the premises itself is worth the money. There are many study rooms, vast amenities, and a convenience store that has saved me quite a few times.

I would recommend moving here if you need a simple commute to class, do not have a car (barber across the street, restaurants in walking distance, convenience store), and want a relatively affordable place to stay.

The apartment has issues with mold and they never sent anyone to fix it. The gym doesn’t have a wide variety of equipment. The pool is frequently dirty. The elevators and power go out a lot. The parking is $125/month. The internet is unstable. We are required to pay to have our packages delivered and pay another $25/month. Security isn’t available when you get locked out at night. The hallways are carpeted and extremely dirty. And the are conditioning filter is rarely changed. I would only ever recommend it because of how close it is to MMC.
