Do not move into this condo, it is the worst place to live. The elevator has been broken for over 5 months. read more

Casa Vera Apartments - Apartments Near Me - Miami, Florida

I lived here for about 2.5 years. My biggest issues were not with management but the other residents. To be clear, I honestly hate living in Miami and I've tried to leave since I got here but no luck yet. I know that's not the norm for most people so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I moved here from Sarasota purely for work. I like a calm atmosphere, peace and quiet, and friendly people and there's none of that in this town. Except for the office staff and my coworkers lol But I digress. The units themselves are super nice and very well maintained! I think I only called maintenance once or twice for minor issues and they were fixed immediately. I never had any big issues outside of some ants but it's florida so nbd. The grounds are very well kept, trash is picked up quickly. Parking was never an issue for me personally. When I was on the Phase I side, I lived close to the dumpster so I wasn't a fan of having to pay for the valet trash. I LOVED having the trash chute in my building on the Phase II side. I guess my main concern was the constant noise at the pool, someone was always blasting music from a boom box and kids were running around screaming. It's a big complex so I get it but I just wanted to enjoy a swim without getting pummeled by kids. My neighbors were always blasting music and it came from all directions so I never knew where it was coming from to be able to call the office about it. Unfortunately when I moved in, there were only 2 units available and I got stuck with one by the playground/pool area which is super noisy all the time. The other really big issue was the dogs running around off leash. Management sent out sooooo many letters but the residents didn't seem to care. I had one girl's big dog jump on me and knock me down more than once. She didn't apologize or anything, she was texting and letting it run around the parking lot not paying attention. Short of conducting a search for undocumented pets, there's not much they can do. I lived on both sides of the complex and it was much worse on the west side, what used to be called Phase II. There are dog parks on both sides so I don't get it, just take your dog to the park! Anyway, I much preferred living there during the pandemic because I didn't have to hear the pounding pool parties. By and large, the sunsets are the best thing about living here (at least on the west side!)! Seriously, they are stunning and cannot be oversold! (See attached photos.) I did end up moving because I have serious anxiety about the traffic on Kendall Dr so I just wanted to be closer to work and the places I go to most without needing to spend so much time on that road. I was meticulous about cleaning both apartments when I moved out so I received my full security deposit back both times. One last note, I'm a young female who lived here alone and I never had any security concerns (I used to be a forensic scientist so I'm a bit paranoid). So many complexes in Kendall are in really sketchy neighborhoods but that wasn't the case here. It's gated, there's security patrolling, plenty of lighting. This was something I really appreciated. Oh and I almost forgot! The blasting at the quarry across the street feels like a short but very intense earthquake at least twice a week. I had several pictures fall off the walls, not to mention a mild heart attack because it never happens at consistent times. Definitely won't be missing that! read more

After almost a year since I moved out of casa vera now they're charging me for utilities that they claim are owed in the amount of 112.06. When I checked out I had a zero balance and they had my deposit. Deposit was returned in full. Nothing was deducted from the deposit and now they are sending letters attempting to collect for past due utilities. This is absurd. Very wrong to attempt to collect almost a year later when they had opportunities to collect when they should have. These are not the regular utilities. These are property utilities.

I have lived in Casa Vera for close to 3 years. In the past 3 years, I have moved 3 times for different reasons, none of which were because of management or issues. I will start by saying that, Casa Vera takes pride in their customer service and attention to residents' needs. I myself have experienced the professionalism and courtesy that management exemplifies. The second you walk into the office, whether you are greeted by Karen, Michelle, Clark, Samantha, or Christina, you are treated like royalty for a lack of better words. NEVER, have I walked into the office with a concern or issue and it not be resolved immediately. This includes the office staff as well as the maintenance. I truly commend everyone who has made my last three years in Casa Vera truly memorable. When I pull into Casa Vera, not only am I home, but I am at home with my Casa Vera family. Danny read more

I recently moved in about a week ago and I will say the attention was outstanding. Karen help me with all my questions and with the application process and Brandon was very attentive to our needs and helpful. The apartment is beautiful , big and very clean. The amenities are great specially the pool.My kids love the community. Over all this it was a great experience. Definitely recommend the community. read more

Move here if you love insects and frogs being all over the place, if you love taking the stairs up to your apartment because the elevator doesn't work, if you have all the time in the world to wait for a broken gate to get opened so you can make your way inside the your HOME. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND.0 stars 0000000000!! read more

We've been living here for almost 4 months and it's been a dream! We live on the phase II side and can honestly say every expectation we had from preleasing to becoming residents has been exceeded. Sam and Clark are very Helpful and professional. We have super busy schedules and they are always an email or phone call away. I so proud and happy to call this place home. It's so hard to find rental communities that don't feel/look cheap. No corners were cut here and it shows. The amenities are resort-like and cleanliness/maintenance definitely feels luxurious. I can't thank Sam and Clark enough for working with us. I am def not an easy going and their patience deserves recognition. Oh and the sunsets are incredible. read more

I lived at Casa Vera (CV) for 2 years (2017-2019). Let me tell you all the ways they make me disappointed. I lived in a 1/1 my first year and then moved into a 2/2 with my roommates the 2nd. When you first move in, you'll be met with the beautiful floorplans, the gorgeous pool, the awesome clubhouse (that you can never use outside normal business hours, so - hey - if you have a job... good luck getting to use it!), and everything just WOWs you because it's upgraded, updated, and new. Yeah. That's where it stops. Building 1: 3rd floor 1/1 unit. There was a constant water drop sound between my wall and the adjacent apartment. It was IN the walls, and it was loud. When I made mention of it to the folks of CV, they were like: Yeah, we know about it, but nothing we can do. Welp. OK. I'll just hope it doesn't lead to mold! You will hear sounds, but it depends on where your bedroom is at. Mine was up against the unit behind me. I could hear them argue, her walking in her heels at all hours of the day, etc. from my bedroom. I learned to live with it bc it's apt living. What do you expect? (This issue went away when I was in my 2/2 bc I had a corner room. So nothing was adjacent to me!) Finished out my first year, friends wanted to move in together, and also my renewal offer for the 1/1? Yeah. I was paying $1565/mo + $28 trash/pest fee. They wanted to jump it to something ridiculous like $1720 if I were to renew my 1/1. The best part? ONLINE, they were advertising that unit (on the 3rd floor) for less than what my renewal would be. When I asked to negotiate, they were unwilling. Also, those huge black crickets that look like cockroaches? Good luck with those AND with finding parking if you're by Building 1. That's what led to discussions of moving in with friends. My mistake? Staying with CV and moving to another building. I wanted to write a review so bad at the end of my first year, but I also didn't want to deal with CV reacting unprofessionally. Building 9: 3rd floor 2/2 unit. So, yeah. I moved to Building 9. Stayed there for a year, had no issues really. (Except for the first week when I moved in and someone else left trash on the 3rd floor, and a maintenance guy insisted it was my roommates and me.... like, no, it wasn't. Other people moved out and dumped it there. Please stop yelling at me.) Everything was fine and dandy. However when it came time to move, I knew - I JUST KNEW - there would be issues. Because that's how things roll at CV. I failed to get my security deposit back in full. Why? Let me paint the picture: Our lease ended on Saturday. I had run by earlier in the month to provide notice that we wouldn't be renewing and to drop off the last check, etc. I asked about the walk-through, and they said, "Oh, Arnold handles that." I followed up with, "So I just work it out with him?" Response: "Yes." NOTHING ELSE. They didn't say how to schedule a walk-through with Arnold or anything else. So based off my experience with my first apt, my presumption was to call and make an appointment with Arnold on the day of. (That's how he handled my walk-through. Just told me to go, and he'd go with me, and we'd walk-through.) My roommate said he'd take care of it, and when he called to do the walk-through and turn over the keys on Saturday, the office told him: "Arnold/primary maintenance man isn't in. So you won't be able to do it today. Come tomorrow (Sunday)." NO ONE told him there would be a "penalty" for turning in the keys late by going on Sunday. No one said, "Hey. He's not here, but come by to turn in the keys so you can avoid a penalty!" And it didn't occur to my friend because well you don't know what you don't know? And who'd think they'd be strict about a day when they said to COME TOMORROW? I mean, it's fairly evident, right? If someone had said anything about a fee, my friend would have gone over immediately. So he went on Sunday. Arnold STILL wasn't there, but someone at the office told him to do the walk-through on his own, and that they'd do theirs separately. So he did. And, STILL, no one mentioned a penalty/late fee. Meanwhile, no one is living in the apartment at this point. My roommates and I had all moved out by Wednesday (the 10th) prior to all this. So... I think it's ridiculous that they're withholding $80.62 from my security deposit for being a day late when nothing was mentioned, especially when they made it sound like it'd be fine. Just stay away form Casa Vera. They're far AF from the TPK/878/etc., their management truly doesn't care about you or your living situation or providing a fair means of living. It's not worth it. You can get more bang for your buck elsewhere and (most likely) with better customer service. read more

Beautiful place and wonderful staff and one of the nicest rental properties in the Kendall area. The units are very spacious. The property staff does an amazing job in doing events for the community throughout the year. Very caring staff and great property close to Krome for easy access in and out of Kendall. Also close to Baptist west hospital, supermarkets and many other wonderful places in the west Kendall area. read more

Okay so I lived here for a year. Apartments are beautiful and new. Easy application process. Neighboor's were ok - the grounds used to be kept nicer with the old management company. The bad, they get you in for around 1800 for a two bedroom but when you come up for renewal the lease skyrockets 2k +. They will even tell you no don't listen to the review it will only go up a tiny percent like 3-5% bull***. Sign away and you are theirs. Trash pickup is only Sunday through Thursday (25 monthly) so Friday and Saturday you have to walk your garbage to the trash compactor. Pool is nice - weekends has a lot of children so if you have kids awesome. Last thing: your small deposit, don't think you'll get that back and if you have anything they can claim they will. If you owe a balance they immediately request 30 days to pay or else credit companies will be notified. Crazy right 30 days or they threaten to go to the credit bureau! read more

We have lived here for almost 2 years in phase 2. The apartment itself is beautiful and modern and is located in an area with alot of nature. But....the community is a mess! The hallway floor is dirty, trash chute area dirty and filthy. Outside premises are dog poop everywhere. Dont get me wrong, i have 2 small dogs myself and love dogs but i always pick up after them. There is never any parking available..even before the covid-19 broke out you could never find a parking spot after 9pm. Paper and food is laying around premises. My dogs have found multiple food leftovers. The office... hmmmm.. the manager i think her name is Samantha and she is the rudest person ever and can never help you with anything over the phone. Clark and Karen , they are the best in the office. Will always go all their way to help out. read more

I wanted to say that the customer service at casa vera is extremely amazing! Karen Ruiz is one of the most sweetest lady. Again, Clark ,Samantha , Michelle and Cristina they are all an amazing team and they care for the residents very much. :) read more

This office has the poorest staff in staff history they claim to go by what's written down on paper and talk to you like your stupid but when you point on what really written down they act like you they don't know and go off topic and don't understand Casa Vera should hire new staff inside that office not to mention they kept my wife's 500$ security deposit with out even moving in or signing the contract these people will here from my lawyers not to mention I live there for a complete year in the past been dealing with this crap read more

I lived in the complex for 2 years. Management is decent until they owe you money. I moved out over 2 months ago and am still waiting for them to send me my security deposit and to repay what they overcharged me, totally over $1000. Initially, they stated that I owed them nearly a grand, I reviewed the document and realized the huge error, brought it to their attention and they proceed to tell me that had no idea what happened and then blamed it on the change of software in their department. I had to break down itemized move-out statement for them to realize that they in fact OWED me money. We are now two months past my move-out date and I still have not received my check. My emails go unanswered and my phone calls fall on deaf ill-compassioned ears (if they even pick up the phone). My next step will be to file a complaint with the better business bureau. They blame everything on corporate but give you no solution to get in touch with anyone that can assist. These people simply do not care. Also, the negative reviews in terms of living conditions are incredibly accurate. I just don't have it in me to get into those details when I'm still fighting for money that is owed to me. read more

I really have to say that the Maintenance Department is AMAZING @ Casa Vera Apartments !!!! They go above and beyond, from keeping the community looking great to any emergency you might have @ anytime they respond immediately no matter what. I truly recommend CASA VERA!!!! great place to live!!! read more

Beautiful apartments if you're looking for a new home look into Casa Vera and make sure to speak and look for Clark Fundora - Amazing Job I totally recommend. read more

TBH this community sucks, and it is simply because of the management. The apartments are nice, and so is the location. However, the maintenance and security are the worse. They only have one security for the entire complex, and so far three cars have been stolen. The complex gates havent worked in over 8 months, and the management stays saying that they are fixing it. Went to complain to the office about the security, since one of those three cars that were stolen belonged to us (brother and I), and the personnel stated that they had set a "night watch" in place, two other cars have been stolen since and the gates still don't work. Guessing the management is too cheap to install cameras and set a good security personnel in place. This place is not cheap and they still dont do anything about this. Sincerely, DONT MOVE HERE. read more

Clark Fondora goes above and beyond! Recommend him for anything regarding Casa Vera. Him and the entire team are always willing to help.

This is now my second year living here. I can't complain much I have an apt. Facing krome so I live for those beautiful sunsets. I've never been a fan of facing someone else's balcony so this is perfect for me. The walls are pretty thin so at times depending where you live you may hear a neighbor but that comes with apt living. Overall the maintenance men have been very helpful when needed and the office staff tries to help solve your issues. I only had one time that they didn't get back to me in a timely manner but Michele from management helped me right away once it was brought to her attention. The amenities are awesome! Kind of like a resort vibe. read more

love the place, maintenance is pretty fast, customer service is great! the only problem here is the neighbors dogs most people let their dog poop and barf on stairs/hallways and even elevators they have their own dog park and they still go into the kids park with their dogs. read more

This will be my third year in this community and I have to say I enjoy living here. I have a 2/2 on the third floor. No issues with neighbors and noises. I love the pool and the gym although I wish I had more time to use it. There has been some hiccups with the exit gate that people can't seem to be patient and actually wait for it to open so it gets knocked out almost every month, and parking I do find parking but sometimes it's challenging when either guest are over or simply unauthorized people. I enjoy the resident events hoping they do more. Seems as if the new property manager has her things together and is making a difference in this community same goes for the team. Anyway I have a 2/2 and everyone I invite over loves my apartment. read more

I'm moving out soon and so happy. First off, communicating with people in the office is absolutely positively terrible. I move in sometime in August 2018. I was greeted by someone in the office - Karen. She gave me my keys and vaguely pointed to my apartment. That was my welcome. So anyway things were fine from there, other than their lack of gate keys, bugs constantly coming in from the large gap under the front door and the inability to speak to people in the office. That is until move out time came. I move out on September 6th. I had sent an email months prior (at least 3+) through their resident portal not only was I complaining about late payment fees (because I sent a money order rather than a cashiers check) but I made it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT I WOULD NOT BE RENEWING because this place is terrible. When I kept trying to explain this to the individual at the office she acted as though she had no idea what the portal was or how to access the emails, which maybe explains why I've never received a single reply. Any I kept speaking trying to get them to understand that I can't see the messages that I send, there is not "sent message" I can simply click. As a result, they'd have to find it on their end. Long story short Michelle says, "oh okay, you're fine then." Has me come down sign papers. 1 month later I'm being charged an entire months rent. Save yourself the headache of dealing with this and find someplace better to stay. Needless to say I will not be paying the full amount and do plan on contacting whatever management is above these individuals. This is insanely unacceptable and coming from a law student borderline fraud. read more
