Oct 2019: Moved in the complex a year ago and everything was okay for the first 5 months. Spotted mold in my unit (7871) on the carpet by the front door. Basically the buildings are old and painted over. Water was/is leaking in the wall, which cause the mold on the carpet. The maintenance guy said he would patch up the whole in the wall and remove the molded carpet, which he did do. But if you do that it’s not treating the mold that’s already been in the wall for who knows when. Also 2 months after that mold started to grow on the ceiling by the ac Unit. Gary (regional manager) helped with the move out process very well. I moved out in August and was promised my security deposit. It’s October and I still haven’t received the it. I keep calling to check on the deposit but I’m always being told that it’s “coming from Californiaâ€. Review from Google Jul 2019: Overall our experience has been okay. The staff is helpful when they can be reached and I love the view and apartment layout. Sarah has been especially helpful and I appreciate her patience throughout our move-in process. We were thrilled that they had a 48 hour maintenance commitment policy because the last place we lived was terrible at repairing/completing work orders. Our Kitchen sink and dishwasher is backed up and filled with dirty water; it has been on the verge of flooding for the last few days and has been clogged ever since our move in date/walk through. We have tried calling the maintenance emergency line and have left voicemails with no return calls. We have put in multiple work orders for this same incidence. I even spoke with the leasing office staff who had no idea about their 48 hour maintenance commitment policy which was included in our lease contract and is advertised on their website!! I hope they are able to fix things soon and turn things around because it's disappointing Review from Google Jul 2019: So far I’ve mostly loved living here. The apartment is somewhat of a downgrade to where I was before (525 avalon). But it doesn’t take too much to make me happy so I’m okay with it. Right now I’m currently locked out of my apartment because the sliding door to the patio somehow locked itself behind me. I called emergency maintenance 3 times and nobody has come to help me. It’s summer so it’s freaking hot out and there are tons of bugs. Oh and it also rained earlier. I’ve been stuck out here for 3 hours now and have come to the realization that I’ll be spending all night out here and won’t be able to go inside until the office opens. This experience alone has ruined living here for me. The fact that the sliding door is so old and unreliable that the latch can just fall and lock itself is ridiculous, what’s even more ridiculous is that there is no one to help in the middle of the night when something like this happens Review from Google Jul 2019: Terrible experience. After hurricane hit in 2017 we spend 3 months with buckets inside the apartment because water was cascading from the ceiling and every time we placed an order they would close it without even coming to the apartment. didn't even offer to relocate, but still charged their monthly fees. Still had the fall to try to raise the rent payments when contract had to be renewed. We were too good, decent, patient, and reliable for this place. I hope they have better management now. Review from Google Jul 2019: Just moved in this week. Sarah made our move-in process quick and painless. I was really impressed how lovely the apartment is. We had a small hiccup with our appliances but Maria and the property manager were quick to listen to our concerns and fix the problem almost immediately. So far I am really really happy here at Lakeside Villas! Review from Google Jun 2019: Older apartments can hear your neighbors sneeze. Try and get top floor. Lota of construction going on. Was unable to walk up to my apartment. Practically playing limbo to get in.. Review from Google Jun 2019: Everything is breaking down and the maintenance is taking forever.
The washer is leaking and very loud and when i put a maintenance order they said they ordered the part and it’s been more than a month and the part didn’t come .
The Ac stopped cooling and i did put a maintenance order and they just told me to wait, like you can live in 85 degrees with no problem. Btw i had to sleep last without ac in Florida hot summer weather.
And the treatment will change to the worst since you sign the lease.

We have had so many issues since we moved in here and the only reason we decided to stay was because of how attentive Maria has been. Any problems have been solved by her personally. All questions we have had she's had answers to. Even with all of the construction around us we're willing to stick it out as long as she works here!

Review from Google Apr 2019: Lakeside Villas is what they say on the board Luxury Apartments and remodeling them to make them even better. Run by a group of hard working women they are always there when you need them and this place would fall apart without them. Maria Rodriguez is key to the group and the nicest lady ever!! If I ever leave I want another person with her heart and enthusiasm to watch over me. Review from Google Apr 2019: Maria was amazing. She is patient, very friendly and caring. She helped us with our renewal and made the process go smooth and affordable. She always listens to what we prefer and gives her best effort in doing so!!! Not to forget my apartment is PERFECT! I definitely reccomend moving here and I would refer you to Maria because she will make your moving process easy, fast, and affordable !! Thank you Maria!!!! Review from Google Mar 2019: My boyfriend and I have lived here for a year, and needed more space. Thankfully Maria was able to find us the perfect unit, she was extremely patient with us and helped us through the whole process of getting us into a new unit after our lease was up. 10/10 definitely recommend! Review from Google Mar 2019: I moved here last August from up north and did not know anything about the area. Well this staff was incredible to ensure I had a smooth transition here and were extremely attentive to any needs, questions, or concerns. The complex is almost complete with a massive face-lift and it has been a pleasure watching it transform into a great "Florida Experience"...If I could double the rating , I would, and I would recommend Lakeside Villas to anyone looking for a great family oriented location. Review from Google Feb 2019: My daughter lived here for two years and it was a great place to live, except for the occasional rudeness she would get from the office staff when she went there to pick up packages or ask a question. Maria was the one who helped when we got the apartment and she was great and a pleasure to deal with. I do caution you to get everything in writing, no matter what it is, so you are protected when you decide to move out. They will ignore you when you move out and then months later you will get a call from a collection agency stating you owe them money when you never received any notification by certified mail as required by the state of FL. Then they will nickel and dime you to death. If they would have handled the move out process professionally and correctly they would have received 4 stars, due to the nice renovations they are working on and the quietness of the place. Jan 2019: I went there and I love the apartment nice an clean and comfortable. A lots of parking and the lady who show me the apartment Melissa she was nice and lovingly. Thanks you guys Review from Google Jan 2019: The service here is amazing. When you c as ll for service they respond at a timely matter. would recommend anyone to come and rent from Lakeside Villas. Review from Google Jan 2019: Last Saturday, I visit this property it looks nice the new upgrades that there doing but the LUXURY I think is to much!! Melissa is very kind And answer all my questions. Yes I was vary sadly that I had to see her do so much give so many tour and had to pick up garbage as well!! But yes I guess that not a problem for management. Melissa you are the best you can get something better you have potential to get more. Review from Google Jan 2019: Property looks a bit rough but it is under construction, I believe once its completed it will look great! I have no complains about my apartment. Maria is very helpful and Melissa is very kind. Review from Google Jan 2019: Great property, well kept landscape. Any problems I encountered were quickly resolved. Highly recommended to future tenants. Friendly and respectful staff as well, keep it up management! Review from Google Dec 2018: Went for a tour, very nice and spacious apartment. Very professional and encouraging staff. Maria was my tour guide! Review from Google Dec 2018: This is my first time renting an Apartment and I had a great experience. Maria and Melissa were very friendly and patient with me. And they were always available to answer all of my questions. Review from Google Nov 2018: Been here for almost two months, so far my wife and I both like it. Our apartment is nice and clean and we haven’t had any issues so far. Maria and Melissa have been great since we moved in. Only reason i don’t give 5 stars is because the laundry units are not quite clean and the machines don’t do a great cleaning/drying job either. Only thing that still bothers me is that the wasp nests all around the building have not been taken care of ever since we moved in but to my understanding that’s got to do with the pest control company. Review from Google Nov 2018: Everything about this place is trash.
When we first came to view the apartments, we dealt with Maria. She was nice to us at first but when we asked the view the apartment we would be renting rather than the model, she started with the attitude and rushed us through the viewing. We were in a rush to find a place and settled with this one. That was a mistake.
Every week there seems to be a new problem with the unit and when you bring it up to Maria, she has this horrible attitude about it. Jasmine, however, is very nice and helpful if you get through to her. She's the only one who ever seems sympathetic at all.
The laundry room is disgusting. The floors have never been cleaned. The machines are covered in dirt. The trash is always overflowing. Its truly disgusting. So, if you do choose to stay here, my God at least get a unit with a washer an Review from Google Oct 2018: We have been here for 3 years, nice place to live the office staff is helpful and the maintenance staff is great. Responds quickly if you have a problem. All the buildings are getting a new look and they look great Review from Google
