AS A RESIDENT Pros:…read more *friendly and knowledgeable staff who build a relationship with you *very well maintained property -- it always looks pristine *amazing amenities -- pool, game room, cardio room + weight room, wine bar, covered garage available, valet trash 5 days/week *multiple monthly resident events *resident portal for easy payment and maintenance *each unit is thoroughly and regularly maintained by the staff, including fire/smoke detector checks, fire extinguisher checks, AC filter replacements, dryer vent cleanouts, etc. *elevators available *very pet friendly including a dog wash room *carpet only in the bedroom Cons: *the other residents -- I don't know what it is, but everyone who lives here is very rude, entitled and inconsiderate of their neighbors. *people don't respect quiet hours -- I was consistently woken up to vacuuming and furniture moving above me anywhere from 2am-6am. And likewise, other people didn't haven't realistic expectations for regular living sounds during daytime hours. The person below me would bang on his ceiling for "rolling things" in the middle of the afternoon. *people don't respect that it's a non-smoking community -- my next door neighbor smoked so much weed in his apartment that it would infiltrate mine through the walls and vents. *pet friendly community, but very disrespectful pet owners -- it's a pretty small community with A LOT of dogs. The walking area is always covered in dog poop even though bags are provided. *elevators available but not always working -- sometimes one is out of service for weeks at a time *there's only 2 exits for each building which didn't seem like an issue until living in it, especially with the dog situation *package room is always chaotic, unorganized, and deliveries left in the wrong building *these apartments are too expensive and the staff work too hard for your fellow residents to make such a negative impact, but here we are. AS AN OFFICE RENTER Pros: *clean and professional office area *shared kitchenette/break room with a microwave and fridge *access to all community events and amenities listed above (except valet trash) *leasing office promotes your business to the residents *free coffee machine to offer your clients *conference room *guest WiFi available Cons: *residents are SO loud above you *conference room is first come, first serve *conference room was not sound proof (the noise from residents and music playing in the lobby was pretty distracting in a meeting). *separate entrance to the building through the office spaces, however, it is completely blocked by landscaping so you have to walk around anyway making that door kind of pointless

If one person does not renew the lease but the other person does, the security deposit does not go back to the person who did not renew.

Any issues we've had were resolved immediately. The apartment is absolutely beautiful. We love that it's gated. That was a major plus for our family. Everyone for the most part that we've come into contact with has been beyond friendly. The neighbors in this complex has been the nicest we've had any where else. From what I've seen this place is very LGBT friendly as well. Which for my family of course was a great bonus. We didn't get any mistreatment or side eyes when we came in as a family to get our keys or when we went up to speak with the office staff. They've always made us feel more than welcome. We recommend this place.

By far the worst apartment complex ever, the staff has zero customer service, the "managers" have…read moreno idea how to do their jobs. We've had multiple problems, the latest being our bldg caught on fire on 6-19-26, due to negligence on the apartment complex. They had warnings, we lost power several days before the fire, the electricians that came out supposedly fixed the problem. This bldg has had multiple wiring issues for over a year and come to find out, it wasn't just our unit, several of the units have had wiring issues. instead of correcting the issue properly and by code standards they cut corners to save a dollar. The firefighters who came out called RedCross for the 8units they were dis-placed. The apartment complex did nothing for 6 of the 8units, they offered 2 model homes to 2 families, the other 6 units, they offered an empty unit for ppl to sleep in, I guess they were expecting people to move at 7pm at night or sleep on the floor??? No power for days, all food in fridge/freezer had to be thrown out. The worst thing about this whole situation...well Since this has happened, not one person from the complex has called/text or emailed to check on the displaced residents. They sent out a generic email saying they will keep up informed on the situation, no apologies, no well wishes, absolutely nothing from them! The decent thing would have been to reach out and check in and see how everyone was doing. But NOPE! Not to mention they take the weekends off so there's no one to get information from. The actual complex manager cannot ever be reached, they won't even give out her email! We've had gutter issues for months they keep saying they'll fix, they never do, we have holes in our ceiling from water leaks in the roof never been fixed! When asked about compensation for all the lost food, she replied, we'll talk next week! Like seriously, I need food before that, we had just spent over $400 at the grocery store, now all gone! But, Im glad they had a nice father's days weekend off!! If the gentleman who lived in complex next to breaker box was not home at the time, the whole bldg would be gone! And when he went to tell them something was wrong, the maintenance guy wouldn't listen to him, he looked behind the dryer thinking it was that. The resident had to tell him no, listen, look at the smoke, the maintenance staff is just as incompetent as the office staff lacks in decency! DO NOT RENT HERE!!! Go somewhere else

Unfortunately, there is not much good to say about the Station House at Lake Mary. They deleted…read moretheir old Yelp profile due to the number of bad reviews and created this new profile earlier this year, they also removed the reviews section from their Facebook page because of the negative reviews there. The buildings have been bought by a new management company who is nearly as incompetent as the last one. The management does not respond to messages in a timely manner and I don't think they do walkthroughs of the property, EVER, as there are issues like trash cans left in hallways, parts of the building falling off and laying on the floor for weeks on end, etc. Yesterday I went down to the parking garage and nearly broke my neck when I slipped on a flooded floor because the parking garages LITERALLY drain THROUGH the doors to the building, you have to open the doors with water coming down them and walk through a waterfall to gain access to the parking garage. The parking garage itself is so poorly constructed I think it rains more in there than outside when it's raining. There are also cars that people have abandoned in the parking garage over a YEAR ago that are still sitting there, flat tires, dust so thick that people write on it. Unfortunately every time they say things they are going to get better, and they might for a few weeks, but then back to the old ways. If you are looking at moving, I recommend that you talk to some of the actual residents who have been here for a while before doing so.

Do not rent from Regatta Shores. Some aspects of the rental experience, such as additional monthly…read morefees and flooding-related issues, were not made clear until after the lease was signed. Parking fees, despite no assigned spots, and mandatory pest control charges were not clearly communicated. Trash overflowing from the dumpsters weekly, despite a monthly trash fee. There was a persistent mold smell in ground floor units, including ours following flooding prior to our move in that was not disclosed. Communication from property managers was inconsistent, and support to renters was limited. My overall impression was that the management approach prioritized profit, looking for any and every opportunity to extract money from tenants, and provide as little as possible in return. Ultimately my experience was frustrating and dehumanizing. Avoid this place at all cost. Update: 01/23/2024 I want to acknowledge UDR's response to my initial review below to say that it misses key issues. My main concern with the extra fees was what I saw as a lack of clarity and the scope of those fees not being fully disclosed until lease signing, forcing what I saw as a 'take it or leave it' situation. If they want to take the approach of an "all fees are listed on the website and in the contract" response, then fine. However, it doesn't address the misleading impression their approach gives. So, for those looking to rent, keep in mind that the rent advertised by UDR isn't the total cost you will be expected to pay them. Extra fees can greatly add to what you owe, making your total monthly costs higher than what the advertised rent suggests. Also, in their response UDR ignored other problems I mentioned, like unguaranteed paid parking, ongoing trash issues, and poor communication, including a surprise early move-out inspection. They only addressed the mold smell which they imply they attempted to address adequately. We will agree to disagree on that. Even disregarding many of my other criticisms, the photographic evidence of overflowing trash alone should have been embarrassing, yet they failed to acknowledge that in their response. How they've reacted here should give you some indication of what to expect should you choose to move there.

Absolute worst place I have EVER lived. The entire property stinks and is rotting. The buildings…read moreare so old and decrepit that we didn't invite people over. The entire property was just embarrassing. It's a bait and switch, show the nicely furnished model, and then when you go to move in, you're put in a literal night and day difference of an apartment. Everything about the apartment is old, rotting, and outdated. You will pay the same price whether your unit is updated or not but even the updated units are low-quality. The entire parking lot flooded for weeks and the community forced everyone to park about a mile down the road but continued to charge everyone for monthly parking and did not discount. The apartment had rotting musty shag carpeting, old outdated and busted appliances, the vinyl flooring was peeling up in every corner of the bathrooms and the kitchen, there was popcorn ceilings, and the stomping that you hear from the people above you will make you insane. These buildings are so old and so poorly built that you can hear a pin drop if you live on the first 2 floors and someone is above you. On top of all of this, there is a serious vermin problem here... our entire apartment was infested with fleas and cockroaches, and we are very clean people with one single house cat who receives regular checkups and shots. And then there is Regatta's little "community". Honestly people, you'll see hundreds of people come and go because nobody stays here and therefore you won't build any decent or substantial lasting relationships with your neighbors here. Not that you'd really want to anyway.. the entire time I lived here, majority of the people I encountered were sketchy, rude, or very obviously dealing drugs out of their apartments. If you ever do make the poor decision to move here then you will see exactly what I'm talking about. Strangers are constantly pulling in, people run down and talk to them at their window, then they leave after 2 minutes. And it happens all day long in multiple areas on the property because UDR allows indecent people to move in here. The kind of people who won't even put their trash into the compactor but rather leave it next to the compactor in a heaping disgusting bug-ridden trash pile that makes the dumpster area (which by the way, is centrally located RIGHT in the middle of the property) look like a dump.. a landfill. It's the norm and it happens every single day. It gets cleaned up and it starts up again not even an hour later until theres so much trash that you can't reach the compactor even if you wanted to. They also emailed all residents claiming they would power wash the plastered dead bug carcasses and cobwebs off the buildings and that has yet to be done. See the review a few below this to see exactly what the exterior looks like at all times and will continue to look like as long as you live there. With all this being said-- I want to emphasize the price to live here. We paid 1,800 a month for our 2 bed 2 bad apartment. That is truly despicable. The apartment is maybe worth 1,000 a month and that is with the amenities. They just keep raising the rent even though they change nothing about the dumpy living conditions. I'm not ignorant to the ridiculous housing prices right now, but a lot of places just raise, raise, raise the rent because other complexes do it. UDR is predatory. Do not trust them, do not tour their unkempt properties, and do not give them a second of your time. They do not care about their residents at. ALL. They know people will rent, so they keep raising the prices all while doing the bare minimum. I had to wait a YEAR after moving out to get my security deposit back because the office claimed they had the wrong forwarding address even though i gave them the correct address typed out in a text. Needless to say...... living at Regatta broke me. I now pay $200 extra per month and I'm living in a beautifully kept and brand new complex (Alta Longwood) in a MUCH better area. I get that Lake Monroe is pretty, but it is a nightmare to live near with the midges and mosquitoes, and the musty smells and the flash flooding during weather events. I am TELLING YOU, do not waste your time with this place it needs to be razed. Pay an extra $200 a month and come join me at the luxury apartments. P.s. i do not believe a SINGLE positive review about Regatta and you shouldn't either. They have a bunch of biblically old people running this place who post fake positive reviews because they know the property and their parent company UDR is a JOKE.

I also had a number of smaller issues, but the property manager, Jeff Hatton, took care of all of them. He's a good one!

We've had a rat problem since December, and despite submitting multiple maintenance requests--including a recent one from my husband--no action has been taken. We've had to catch multiple rats ourselves (photo attached) because there has been no proper pest control response. Additionally, trash is often left on the stairs, making the complex look unkept. Another issue is the sprinklers near my window, which spray out water with a strong, unpleasant odor, especially in the mornings. This place has potential, but the lack of maintenance and management response is disappointing. I hope these concerns are taken seriously because residents deserve a cleaner, more livable environment.

We were essentially dismissed every time we reported the issue. Eventually, the dishwasher began smoking and filled our apartment with smoke and fumes. Because the front office never answers their phone, I had to call the fire department to inspect the situation. The fumes were so bad me and my wife had to spend the night in a hotel while the apartment aired out. The next day, I went to the leasing office in person and was again treated as though the issue wasn't a big deal. It wasn't until I flagged down a maintenance employee driving by on a golf cart and demanded someone take a look that they finally acknowledged the dishwasher was defective. Even then, it took additional months before it was replaced. Maintenance supervisor does nothing the majority of the day and leaves early most days. Anytime I have had an issue the front office assures me the maintenance supervisor will stop by or call me. In which he never does. Easily the worst apartment complex i've lived in for the prices they charge. Based on mine and many other reviews I'm genuinely confused as to how the maintenance supervisor still has job here, but I guess the bar must be pretty low. Beyond that, the property seems to be in a constant state of construction, creating ongoing noise and inconvenience. Along with the gate which always seems to be broken. On top of that, the smell of marijuana is a daily occurrence throughout the complex. For the prices they charge and the "luxury" branding they advertise, the level of service and living experience falls far short of expectations. Save yourself the frustration and consider other apartment communities before signing a lease here
