Lakeside Villas

Living in the place wasn’t bad. The maintenance people were cool like my AC went out a few times and they fixed it relatively quick. The management group, Greystar, is where I have the issue. They try to charge you for every living thing. I lived here for 2 yrs while I was getting my mba and coaching at UCF. Aka I was the barely there. I moved out 2 months ago and now they are trying to charge me north of $800 in damages. Luckily I took pictures and documented everything and I called for them to email me their justification for the charges, and haven’t gotten anything in response. Literally a money grab property I would stay away.

Moving here was a great choice. Its a great looking spacious apartment. There were a few issues upon move in, like the washer and dryer not working, but Luis the maintenance worker was able to take care of all issues. Keep Luis around, he does great work and cares about the tenants!

Truly has been a nightmare living here so far only 3 months in. There are roaches, we were supposed to have laundry hookups in our unit which was just a flat out lie, and the laundry rooms that are provided are disgusting and machines are regularly out of service. For the amount of money you pay for this place, please please please look elsewhere. If you MUST move here, make sure to get a look at your actual unit before you do to avoid getting finessed like we did. A complete failure of property management, just plainly an unacceptable state of affairs.

Moved in yesterday and been battling roaches ever since. I bought my own roach spray and I’m honestly so over it already. I thought moving here would be a good thing and seems like a mistake already. Thinking about cancelling this lease and moving back to my old place because I’m not about to sleep like I’m on survivor so bugs won’t crawl on me.

UPDATE- Went and got a lawyer! They refuse to refund my money so I can move out. Stayed in a hotel lastnight because roaches were all over my mattress. They claim that pest control came the day before so no roaches should be this bad. They’re liars and they knew my apt was infested. If I have to sue to get my money and out of this lease then I will. I have no problem going this route

Do not go based off Google reviews, they are easily faked. This complex has a 2 star rating on any other platform and for good reason. Moved in December 2022 and would have to say hands down the worst place I have lived in. There is always an issue. From water flooding my apartment from the upstairs unit that maintenance says is out of their control to the AC breaking down every other month. Termites, spiders, ants,and pest control issue. Dishwasher backing up with smelly water that stinks up the entire kitchen. Plumbing issues. And if you stay on the first floor good luck of getting sleep some nights , you can hear every footstep, every argument, every sound and creak from upstairs. There is nothing luxury about the apartment please do not be fooled by the pictures online. PLEASE ASK TO SEE THE EXACT UNIT YOU WILL BE MOVING INTO or I can PROMISE you WILL regret it. I moved here very quickly after leaving an abusive situation just trying to get back on my feet and have regretted everyday I’ve been here. I will not recommend please there are soooo many other decent priced places with much better living conditions.

Maintenance and faculty are quick to respond. Joe is always super friendly, understanding, and helpful. He takes the time to show and explain any issues and solutions. Always great seeing him around.

My boiler needed replacing and Joe did a great job! He was understanding why I was frustrated on how long it was taking and came even on a weekend at one point to try to fix it. He also let me ask him questions about a few other items around the unit and was proactive about fixing my front door that kept getting stuck! Very professional!

I lived in a loft which is super cute and cozy! See pictures. Staff is always very friendly. My only complaint is the pool in front of my loft has been closed the entire time I've lived here, and the laundry situation is not good at all, I've had people take my clothes out of the dryer and leave my clean clothes all scattered on top of a table in the laundry room which is not ok at all.. for the price we pay laundry should be free. The loft itself is definitely very nice and very cozy, although it's a bit pricey but I'd say if you have the money or a significant other that helps with bills go for it cause it is definitely nice.
