We have lived here since the beginning in 2018 and have had no problems. The management is great. The maintenance is good. The neighbors are nice. Do you always have the one bad apple? Sure, but they usually don't live here long. I recommend the place I feel safe here. They plan great activities to join and meet your neighbors if you like. read more

Just moved in and Tony from Maintenance was wonderful. Aside from prompt and courteous service, he gave me some great info about Dunedin. It was nice to meet him and know he's available for any emergency or routine maintenance needs. He was pleasant and so friendly. Appreciate Tony already! Thank you. read more

I have lived here since the property was built. The leasing ownership has changed hands multiple times, and each time the level of service got worse. Here's my opinion in the time I have lived here. I'll start with the cons: The apartments are cheaply made and the amenities are not kept up. The "gated community" has not had a gate since they opened. I paid for gate keys I never received. Parking here can be a nightmare. The apartments are not properly built so you can hear everything in your neighbors apartment. For the most part my neighbors have been quiet except for a new neighbor that moved below me. He plays his music and movies really loud until 11:30pm at night. I called the courtesy officer who never called me back and didn't handle the issue. The community WiFi has gotten worse over the years. It has become unreliable. If you work from home that's a BIG problem. The leasing office told me to call Spectrum and deal with it myself. Yet it's their account not mine. I pay for the bundle in my rent. They take no accountability or ownership for their property and/or their vendors. I have been in communication with Spectrum and learned their equipment and wiring is unstable and needs to be replaced. Workout room has not been kept up. Equipment is constantly broken for long periods of time. I could list more but you get the point. It's not cheap to live here. For the cost I would expect high value amenities and service. Pros: I like the layout of my 1 bd/1ba apartment. It has a lot of light and good features like garden bath tub and open concept. Waste valet is a nice feature. They have a nice fenced in dog walk area near some pretty nature features. Location is good for walking as it's near multiple neighborhoods and a park. Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good. I will be looking to move once my lease runs out if not sooner. Especially if the noisy neighbor situation doesn't get resolved. read more

Moved in a month ago. The staff is great. Very accomodating. They went above and beyond on some special requests I had which took at lot of stress on moving in, The grounds are impeccably clean. Great location too. Nice to have WiFi and cable included in the rent, It feels like home. read more

We moved to Dunedin Commons Apartments on 4/1/2021 and our experience here has not been as good as we expected. I will start with the good, and that is the location. You are so close to downtown, Pinellas Trail, the water, and beaches. You are also not far from grocery stores and there is a gas station almost across the street. The good pretty much stops there. When we moved in our apartment was not clean, dust everywhere. When I notified the office, they apologized and stated when they walked through it, it didn't seem too bad. This apartment has had dust issues since they day we moved in. We keep the furnace filter changed and dust and vacuum once per week. Every time we vacuum, the canister looks like we had not vacuumed for months. It is always full of dust and dirt. It is scary to think about what we are breathing into our lungs. We have to dust fans and vacuum vents once per week as well. We purchased an air purifier, and filters are supposed to last 6 months. We must change them out every 2 months as they are so filthy. It is like they put the carpet down over dirty floors or replaced the carpet at some point and left a dirty pad. These apartments are not luxury, and they are not advertised that way, however they are newer, and I would expect better quality. The appliances in these apartments are CHEAP. They are the type you would find in section 8 housing. Most of the cabinet hardware in our apartment was put on crooked, and you can hear everything in the hallway as well as all of your neighbors beside and below you. We are unable to utilize our balcony very often as the tenants below us smoke marijuana on their balcony, this also prevents us from opening windows when it is cool out. If you are a hot sleeper you might not want to live here as they have the thermostats programmed to not go below 68 degrees even though you are the one who pays the bills. We work from home and the tenants below have two dogs that bark very loudly, sometimes for the majority of our 9-5p working day. When we moved in we were told this is a breed restricted community for dogs, however there are many aggressive breeds here, rottweilers, pit mixes etc. and several tenants do not pick up after their pet, so there is dog poop all over.  When we first moved in, parking was a struggle. This past year they resurfaced the parking lot. They closed off so many parking spots at once, that people did not have places to park in the evening so they parked in grass at the curbs, in fire lanes, behind other peoples cars. It was a nightmare. Recently with all of the people moving out it has not been too terrible. Office Staff and Management- We didn't have any issues with any of the ones in the office until chose not to renew our lease but go month to month. On April 1, 2022 was the first month our month to month rent. They charged our card over $5000 (month to month rent + prior lease monthly) due to a clerical error. This also resulted in an additional $70 credit card processing fee that we should not have had to pay. When I first contacted them, it was like no big deal to them and said they would just hold the overage for next month. This wasn't an overcharge of $20 it was over $2000. It was like pulling teeth trying to get a refund, finally got one, but they never made right on the $70.00. I understand that the processing fee does not go to Dunedin commons, but it was their clerical error that caused that additional fee and we had to eat it. We are moving and gave well over our 30-day notice. We received our move out papers and they will not do a final walkthrough with us. This is not okay! There are several reviews out there about this complex and how shady they are on move outs and people receiving $$$ bills for things they said were wrong with the apartment. With them not doing walkthroughs with tenants the "fraud" door is open on their end. They say they take photos, however there is no way to know for sure that it is your unit, as all units have the same finishes kitchen lay outs and bathroom lay outs. If you choose to live here do yourself a favor and video the entire apartment, take photos when you move in, and when you move out do the same thing. There are better quality options in Palm Harbor and Clearwater. If you choose to live here, just be diligent on your move in and be prepared to deal with loud neighbors and a lot of marijuana usage. read more

Beautiful development. Expensive, but apartments are beautiful. That's where it ends. New management here 1 month. They refuse to talk to the residents. Can only reach them via e mail. And then you get no response. Unless money is owed. Then their e mail works. Although Pinellas county has allowed pools to be opened, they refuse to open the pool. Claim there's no way to monitor the rules. Moved all the lounge chairs out of the pool area because they didn't trust the residents. High level executives being treated like children. No use talking to the HQ of Westdale as they are just as nasty. Find another place to live where they respect the residents read more

Elevators are always broken. The company they are signed with never shows up to fix them and property management loves to never answer the phone. Peoples pets urinate in the elevators too, and the walls are paper thin. I can hear the people walking in the halls from MY BEDROOM. Super crappy place cant wait to move. read more

We have been living at Dunedin Commons since June and so far we really like it. What I like is that our neighbors are generally friendly and quiet, the staff and management have been friendly and responsive to any issues that we've had. It's nice having a parcel package room included in the rent so that packages aren't sitting in front of your door or are not delivered. And so far we haven't had any issues finding parking. Plus internet and cable are included which is a nice bonus and helps offset the cost. There are no massive downsides. It's an apartment complex so if your neighbors are noisy then you will hear it, but hopefully your neighbors will be considerate. The apartments are listed as luxury, and I would categorize them a very nice, but I personally wouldn't call them quite luxury. That being said it has become an almost meaningless marketing term and you'd be hard-pressed to find any decent apartment complex that didn't advertise itself as a "luxury" so I wouldn't let that sway me if I was considering renting here. While internet is included, it is through Spectrum Community Wifi. This means that you have a shared wifi with the whole complex, but with an adhoc network for your own apartment. This provides some privacy and security, but the passwords for accessing this network are apartment specific and cannot be changed, so the previous tenants may be able to access your network if you don't use vpn. While a little bit on the pricey side, I do think you get you get good value for your money with comfortable apartments, good neighbors, and friendly helpful staff. read more

This complex has shitty reviews for a reason. Thought that it being under new ownership it would be different so we made the move.. What a terrible f*cling mistake. This place has been nothing but a head ache and everyone you talk to here will agree. If a resident isn't threatening you with a gun then management is probably cocking you around about putting headlights in your truck at your garage that you pay for. Take your hard earned money elsewhere because this place sure doesn't feel like home. If you're wanting more details on why this place is a hell hole I will list them out here: -No parking... EVER. Might as well go park your car in Egypt if you get home any time after 6. Partially due to the fact that every single resident can have like 4 cars and 2 work trucks. They don't enforce any of the parking rules. But If you leave a trailer in the parking lot for 15 minutes they will probably tow it. -For the past 3 years they've promised a gated complex.. lol that will be the day. -Management is a joke. Good luck trying to get a hold of them when you need them. But when they've got a problem with you it won't take any time at all to hear from them. Kathy can get pretty mouthy over the phone. Jake's great to deal with. And don't get me started on the old white hair dude that runs maintenance.. He's something. -Resident only pool.. That seems like the City of Dunedin community pool. A quarter of the people that use the pool aren't actually residents so it's typically slammed. -If you pay the extra $200 for the garage don't expect to be able to work on anything there. Even if it's as simple as putting some headlight bulbs in. They will flip out. If you wanna work on anything go in shut the garage and have a heat stroke while you do whatever hobbies your into. - Common area hasn't been open since I moved in. But all my friends that live at The Alexander or Icaria can freely access their common areas to entertain guests or just hang out and try and get some work done. I don't see it ever opening back up either. Management seems to enjoy having the entire space to themselves so they can relax while they b*tch at you over the phone. - I'll touch on maintenance a little bit. First moved in and had a problem with ac just shutting off and having to defrost to come back on. Called and they said to open the windows to let the breeze in until they could get there next day. Next day guy didn't want to come in due to me being ill(Understandable) so hands me the tools and proceeds to walk me through the repair over the phone. Got it working for 2 weeks or so until it did it again and then again. I just continued to do what he said to repair until it got to the point where is was so frozen it took a whole day to defrost. Then maintenance proceeds to lecture my girlfriend about how we shouldn't have fixed the problem our selves when they're the ones who gave us the tools to do so and never followed up on it. Also gave her a talk about the elevator that they're convinced we broke. But has broken 3 times since we've moved in and and we've been stuck in it once for an hour or so. - I could honestly keep going and talk about the residents like the guy that threatened to beat my teeth in because I was listening to music in my garage and then proceeded to let us know he was armed and I had to call the sheriff. Or the guy that came over banging on our door like he was part of the SWAT team because we were talking to loud with our friends at 10:30 pm. But hey that about sums it up. If you're over the age of 60 and moving here from New york and would love to bitch about everything and over pay for a mediocre apartment this is the place for you. As for me I can't wait to get the f*ck out of here! read more
