Lived at portico for 3 years and I enjoyed my stay here for the most part. The apartments are safe,…read morewell maintained (most of time), and spacious. They have great closet space which is always important. Their maintenance crew is always on top of things when you put in a service request and super kind as well. My only issue with this place was the constant fire alarms going off. Sometimes there was no emergency and no need for them to be going off at random times in the day/night. Also, I had a neighbor that was Loud at all type of times, and when I complained nothing was really done because she kept doing it. Aside from that this place is conveniently located near different highways and the sawgrass mills mall.

Nice place but moving in here is not a pleasurable experience with the staff, could use some…read moreimprovement on how they contact you and speak to you, maybe some more training will help. Also there are rules about dogs but they're not properly being enforced. I keep seeing and hearing about this pit bull on the first floor that is NEVER on a leash. That is a huge liability for them and after hearing about that dog being out all the time and nothing getting done about it I will happily take my occupancy elsewhere. With some improvement in management this can be a really beautiful place hence the two stars

I came in for a tour of the apartments not too long ago and was very impressed by how clean the…read moreproperty is and how friendly, knowledgeable and helpful the leasing office staff was. Unfortunately, they didn't have the date I needed for the apartment I liked, but it was definitely my top choice. Elizabeth was very attentive to all my questions and concerns, Thank you!

It was everything perfect when I moved here in 2019 until the new property management company,…read morewhich changed couple years ago. All good comments written 5-7 years ago. I do not understand those people who do this, and the administration of the community do not do nothing to change it! Is it really so difficult to take one more step and throw the garbage into the garbage bin?! They have cameras which never work. Someone damaged my car while all gates were opened, which are supposed to be closed with strictly security rules. Those residents who regularly throw garbage into the garbage bin and those who talk about a problem that needs to be solved, the administration simply gets rid of such residents! As well as shit walkways I stepped yesterday again into the duck poop (4 days long) - nobody care. The last time stairways has been cleaned 7 month ago! About big carpenter ants, spiders, spider webs around the community - they called it NATURE and says it is supposed to be like that, while other communities tries to eliminate these occasional invaders! In conclusion you going to pay for it minimum $2500 your hard work earned money!

I moved into this apartment around October, 2019. Mold in the bathroom is always bad and I have to…read morehave a fan to blow wind into my bathroom to help and spray mold at least once a week to stay in an ok condition. Later on I found mold spreading in living room and kitchen. They came to fix. V in the office is very helpful and fast responses. They sprayed chemical stuffs on the wall and repainted it. They changed a/c unit and clean the duct also. I went on vacation during Christmas and new year. When I came back I found mold around refrigerator and cabinets. I informed the office. I had to wait for Mindy (V's boss) to come back from vacay to make decision because I want to transfer to other room or terminate the contract. Money came back on January 8, 2020. She cannot make decision and passed me to her boss, Sarah. Sarah called me while I was at work. She told me that "it is my responsibility to clean mold in the kitchen just like I clean my bathroom. Mold in the kitchen is common in Southern Florida". I couldn't believe what I heard so I asked all my coworkers if it is common around here to have mold developing in the kitchen? They all said "NO". Sarah refuses to transfer or terminate my contract. Be aware if you are planning to move to this apartment. It is very old and mold could be a big problem. I will record everything and keep fighting until I can get out of this apartment without penalty. I hope Sarah' family (children or grandchildren) doesn't have to go through this problem like me. I give "1" star for V. For the apartment and other staffs "0".

I want bring a serious concern and awareness to the community. Last night or early this morning a…read morethief siphoned gasoline from my car. My fiancé and I have lived on this property for four years. Within the last couple of years we have experienced our vehicles broken into a total of four times. Last month being the most recent. Today being the fifth time we have been violated. Over the last few years, I have seen multiple cars sitting on cinder blocks due to the wheels being stolen, car windows broken, and air bags ripped out and stolen from different vehicles. These are not "isolated cases" as management would like you to believe. Nor does management make these reoccurring situations public to the community that reside at Plantation Colony Apartments. I've asked numerous times if we could have a courtesy officer patrol the community? The answer was "no"...Could we have cameras installed facing the parking lot? The answer was "no"...Maybe have a gate installed? The answer was "no". Although, the office has security cameras facing each entry into the building, as well as the indoor gym. The management team deem's their safety extremely important, enough to have cameras. If you see something, say something. Thank you.

The head, the breathing, the wheezing, the eye burning, etc. they found black mold. The rental property has ignored all messages and not taken accountability for this. The attorney is incompetent and he cannot spell at all. It's almost like the blind lead in the blind. Because I wasn't helped. I'm late to my attorney.

I first want to say that I had my tour done by Kim, who is a manager of the property. She was…read moreextremely nice and the unit that I was shown was the Edgewater #8032. It has a very unpleasant smoker's smell but I was told it is not usually that way and could have been someone who was recently smoking and it getting through the vents. Cool. I liked that it was renovated and decided to apply. I was approved with a $3000 deposit which was obviously ridiculous and I decided to decline. AND IM HAPPY THINGS HAPPENED THAT WAY. Seems like I dodged a complete bullet. I didn't see so many negative reviews until I did some further research online. (See picture). I would definitely say be mindful before wasting time or money applying to this location. Unfortunately, they don't disclose the downside to the property. But again, Kim, the manager, did seem very pleasant.
