Our family has absolutely loved living at Carrington lane! They were super helpful and made our…read moremove from out of state so simple/straightforward. The community is family friendly and full of lovely people. Staff is very on top of things and any maintenance request we have had has been handled/addressed within a 1day period. Fun activities and events for all ages and wonderful amenities!

To me, reviews are an essential part of determining if I will or will not consider renting at any…read morefacility. Pictures, brochures and videos are all helpful but they put the best angles and views to sell the apartment. Too often I have wanted to run to get an apartment from the photos but when I got there it was a different story: Poorly maintained lawns, broken screens, very poor curb appeal. I'm no longer taken in by internet or photos, I go to the reviews first. So this is my review of Carrington Lane. What you see is what you get and more. The curb appeal is pleasing to the eye, the maintenance crew do a magnificent job and respond quickly to any need, the buildings are all in tip top shape and very recently renovated, the huge oak trees give you a feeling of being up north and yet the palm trees remind you that this is beautiful Florida. Whatever you need is rarely more than an 8 minute drive to such places as the mall, theaters, Home Depot, all sorts of restaurants and shopping. Should you need any medical care there are Urgent Care Facilities, a hospital and yes for Veterans a nearby large clinic. The downtown area is special to walk through, view the old but never abandoned building and store fronts, the park and so much more. You will never be bored. If you enjoy horses, tour the many horse ranches and mansions on a scenic drive. There is plenty to do in Ocala. I left the best to last. You can have nice buildings and grounds, pretty trees and amenities but if you don't feel it's home, it's not anything. Here is where Caitlin, Rebecca and Lindsay come in. They are the three women who make Carrington Lane not merely a house to live in but a home to enjoy, have fun and be proud to say: I live at Carrington. A lot of apartments offer something special at Christmas, Easter and other major holidays. Carrington Lane does that too but so much more. They are like thinking 24/7, how can we make our residents involved, happy and yet not be intrusive. They do it. There are so many things to do if you wish, or if you simply want to remain closer to home and your lovely screened in patio, that's fine too. You do what you want to do. However, no one can say the staff is uncaring or not helpful, they go far beyond the call to assist you and always with a smile. This is a long review, but before closing why not go to Face Book and check out the 200 plus photos of the many activities Lindsay, Rebecca and Caitlin put on for your enjoyment from Coffee Day, Free Lunch Day, Dress up and Dress down day, Blood Drive Day, Pizza Day, Donut Day, Brewery Day, Fashion Day and so much more. They do all of this in addition to their responsibilities in the office. I hope you found this review somewhat helpful. I don't work for Carrington Lane, I don't have stocks in the facility, I just know a good thing when I see it, and indeed Carrington Lane is good, very good.

Five months before we retired we flew to Florida to find our retirement home. The first place we…read morevisited was OTOW in Ocala Florida . There we met Mercedes Hernandez. Her knowledge of the community and the homes impressed us. She showed us homes to see what we liked. We let her know what features and upgrades we wanted. She was fantastic! We searched other communities, however, nothing compared to OTOW and we found ourselves back at OTOW before our return trip home. Once we sold our home, Mercedes was able to find us a move in ready home with all of the options we desired. She also introduced us to their relocation team. Greatly reducing the stress of a long distance move. Now that we've been here for over four months, life is good! We love it here in our new home and we are very grateful to Mercedes for taking the time to show us what our next chapter should look like. Thank you, Mercedes! Laura & John Savino

Here's my sort of rounded star rating:…read more As recent "former" resident (only moved for family reasons) I'll provide my take on OTOW. I'm not a golfer but that never matter as the community gets 5 stars for all kinds of things to do. This isn't The Villages so there is not AS much going on. But was fine as it is not a zoo like latter either. You still have absolutely enough activities and fun clubs in OTOW. We really enjoyed the music both within the community and just outside the gate by Chandler Hills. Library, ping pong and wood shop were just a few of our favorites. Excellent fitness centers! Pools can get a busy at times but that's to be expected. Timing! Now for 3 stars. High HOA. Most places go up over time but it was pushing here. That said, you still get lots for the money. Put it this way. I wouldn't let $100 keep me from staying here. Personal advise. Wherever you move, OTOW vs the Village or elsewhere, look for a home that doesn't back up to common road. We lived on street with no road behind us. That was a smart buy living wise. Probably made our house sell that much faster, too.

The corporation has also been very helpful to us in Phoenix with an issue when we first moved in. The golf course is very well maintained and the pro shop guys are top notch. Our experience with some people here however became of concern pretty quickly. There's no gates and they allow non residents to buy memberships to the golf course. You cant be sure some of the people in recreation areas belong here. These were things we didnt think about when we bought here but should have considered.

I so feel for the lady who's 99-year-old Grandma was picked on and evicted. I can relate. My…read moreMother was picked on too. She was 95 and in her home for 17 years mostly by herself. The office was sending her letters saying they were going to evict her if she didn't power wash her driveway. Can you imagine? Then they kept raising her rent and the manager there was such an awful nasty person to her when we she tried to talk to them. She was too old to play golf and take advantage of the facilities, but they wouldn't give her a break. She was paralyzed by the thought of having to move and living on her social security. Our mom finally passed recently, and we just sold her house after it being on the market for 8 months with no one living there. Finally, we practically had to give it away so we could get out from under the hefty rent of $1,014 per month. Warning. Once you are here you are in it and it's very difficult to get out. I am so relieved to put this behind us and never have to deal with that Battle-axe of a manager again.

If you are a person of color looking for housing, please proceed with caution when dealing with…read morethis apartment complex. For the past TWO MONTHS, I have consistently attempted to lease a unit. Every single interaction was with Rodney. I left multiple voicemails. No return calls. I was promised follow-up emails after confirming my email address several times. Nothing was ever sent. Most recently, I scheduled a tour and was completely ignored upon arrival -- no communication, no explanation, no professionalism. This is not a coincidence or oversight. There has been a pattern of being dismissed and denied access. Response to the pitiful reply below:: No surprise that you're shifting blame. If you review your camera footage, you will note that there was already someone present in the leasing office at the time I arrived. From my understanding as a prospective resident with a scheduled appointment, it would be reasonable to expect that staff would either acknowledge my arrival or provide direction if additional steps (such as formal check-in) were required. At no point was I approached or instructed to check in, despite being present during my scheduled time. Given the visible camera coverage throughout the facility, I was simply ignored. I arrived on time but are not greeted. The guest card was created only after I called a second time to follow up because I had not received a confirmation email. I have timestamped call logs reflecting my prior communication with your office. Lastly, I'm no longer interested in pursuing or securing housing with this overtly racist property. But, I assure you, this will not be the last of it.

After lounging in the sun all day and I need a pick-me-up, I run inside to the club room and get an iced coffee from their free Starbucks machine.

They are so huge, they should be another bedroom. Mostly anyone I've meet while walking my dog, or bumped into in the clubhouse have all been so nice. I love this community!

Our home looks completely transformed, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would definitely use Royal Palm again and recommend them to anyone looking for quality tile work. Please give them a call and I would be happy to show the results in my home.
