There is a Walgreens, nearby, the gym on redpoint is good, the swimming pool is nice. I did not have issues with pests other than in the beggining of the summer during a couple of days termites would invade the house but they left some days later. It is mostly silent. Since they are townhouses you do not struggle as much with being crowded with other apartments. The West Tennessee St. can be loud sometimes specially if your room faces that side but nothing insane unless you are an increbly light sleeper. The maintenance team is awesome, they will fix anything no problem ever. On the bad: Why is the garbage disposal so far away? there is one (1) garbage disposal in the whole community and I had to carry my trash bags all the way over there each time. If you move here you will see people with cars put the bags on top of their cars but I had to do it by hand. The people at the office are absolutely incompetent, they are children who dont know what they are doing. They love charging you stuff on your lease that you cant get rid off and they will do nothing to help you, they charge you for not having renters insurance, I sent them my insurance but they outsource the checking, to some other company who responded that my insurance did not comply with their requirements, I told them it did, but neither this third party nor red point helped. I tried a second time hoping this time they will notice my insurance complied but the same thing happened, again they did nothing. So I was stuck paying their fee for "not having insurance" and the insurance. I never felt unsafe, but in the year I lived there, there were at least 3 car break-ins. Now this is not unique to redpoint, I think you will struggle to find any place in tallahassee with open parking that does not have break-ins. I did not have to worry since I do not have a car but it is something to consider, this is not a gated community. Finally, the house was fine, they do not keep them in perfect condition but they are ok. like the tables are scratched. and there are paint drops around from their many paint jobs they give after every moveout but for a college house it is pretty nice.

We had a tour scheduled and confirmed via both phone and email for Saturday, April 5th. We made a 7-hour drive north specifically for this appointment, only to arrive and find the leasing office empty. After such a long drive, we were understandably frustrated and exhausted. Unsure if the office was closed or if staff were simply unavailable, we waited for over an hour and a half while trying to find a way to contact someone--especially given the time, tolls, and high gas costs involved in making this trip. Eventually, we were able to reach Destiny. She sincerely apologized for the mix-up and, despite the situation, immediately took ownership and assured us she would do everything possible to make it right. True to her word, she quickly coordinated with Mark. Mark stepped in without hesitation. Even though he was off that day, he arrived within minutes and greeted us with a positive, friendly, and professional attitude. He was incredibly understanding of our situation and took his time giving us a full tour of the building, amenities, and apartment. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and never made us feel rushed. What truly stood out was not just that Mark showed up--but how he showed up. Despite the inconvenience, he maintained a warm and welcoming demeanor the entire time. He even went out of his way to greet and assist other prospective tenants who arrived during our visit, offering tours with the same level of enthusiasm and professionalism. Mark and Destiny turned what could have been a very disappointing and costly day--14 hours of driving, early morning travel, and significant expenses--into a successful and positive experience. Their commitment to making things right speaks volumes about their character and dedication. If this is how issues are handled at this community, it gives me great confidence moving forward. I would be happy to rent here for my two daughters knowing that this level of care and accountability exists. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and amazing Destiny and Mark were. They both deserve significant recognition for their efforts and for setting such a high standard of customer service. I am still waiting to hear back from management, but I sincerely hope their actions do not go unnoticed.

During summer there's no security so the homeless people break in because you're on the brink of a bad neighborhood and the "homeless pond" is ten feet away from the apartment. When you email no one responds for days to weeks on end. We recently just spent four days with no ac during an extreme heat advisor, the emergency maintenance man on call ignored us because he had his kid and it was raining. We've also had continuous issues with the wifi, roaches, break-ins, loud neighbors, trash filled up so high you can't open the door, and smelly hallways since we moved in two years ago.

This is my first year living at Saga Tallahassee and it has been HORRIBLE. First of all, I live on…read morethe 5th floor, which is the highest floor, so I take the elevator. There is one elevator in the entire building and it is ALWAYS broken. It shakes and it always smells like fish. One time after Halloween there was throw up in the corner for a whole weekend. In one of the staircases by my apartment, there is throw up on the top stair and it has been there for 2 weeks now uncleaned, and will probably still be there for another month. Moving on, the office people SUCK and do not do their job that they are literally getting paid to do. They have attitude when you ask questions and are lazy to put in your packages, so most of the time you won't get them until 3 days after it gets delivered. And if you go to the office to pick them up the office people are rude and don't help you WHATSOEVER. The gates to the parking lot suck and are always breaking. One time I couldn't leave the parking lot because neither one of the gates would open and it took them a couple hours to fix them so you couldn't go anywhere until they got them open. What really SUCKS about this place are the TV's. They're a weird brand I've never even heard of and they DON'T work. We requested a new TV for our apartment in AUGUST and it is MAY now and we still haven't gotten one. We bought a Roku for our TV, however it lags and the sound is never synced up to the picture so we constantly have to go out of the movie we're watching to re-sync the sound and picture. The only good thing about this place are the maintenance men. They are very fast and do a great job and are some of the nicest people ever. Our apartment always needs maintenance, so the maintenance men know us by now and say hi to us if they see us. Overall, do NOT live here. The amenities are incredibly mid for how much you pay to live here and most of the time something is always broken and an inconvenience. For 2 months only one of the treadmills in the gym worked out of 5. Save your money and live somewhere else.

I have lived here for 4 years now, and this has by far been the worst. Ever since younion changed…read moreto saga it has gone downhill. To start, they redid the floors over winter break (keep in mind not all students go home... some of us have to work) and one day I was running late for work and I walk out my door and there's wet cement covering the floors. I was trapped in my apartment, so that wasn't fun. They are currently re doing the parking lot. I pay $50 a month for a parking spot, that is safe and patrolled, and for almost 2 months now I have yet to be able to park in my spot. Someone is always in it due to construction. And when I called the towing company they said they aren't towing now. Also, last week there were 4 car break ins, in the lot that's supposed to be locked and patrolled. I understand Tallahassee can be sketchy, but really? You can just stick your hand through the fence to unlock the gate. There was also apparently a homeless man who got in and was sleeping on the couch in the hallway. Another concern I had was they forced everyone to use simple bills to pay utilities and electric. I pay the city directly, and when I didn't switch our electric was shut down, even though I paid that month. I have heard terrible things about simple bills, but was forced to switch, which doesn't seem ethical. When I called the office to express my concern, specifically over parking, the girl told me we were "breaking up" and hung up on me. So I went in person, and she was just not with it. I spoke to another manager who was very belittling and condescending, and told me "we're in Tallahassee break ins happen everywhere" to me, they are taking advantage of the fact that mostly students live here. The only redeeming part of this apartment is the maintenance staff, who are fabulous. They are very nice and take care of everything right away. Chase, the property manager, is also great with addressing previous concerns, such as when they redid the floors this summer the construction people left a mess in our apartment, we reached out to chase and he was able to get people to clean it up, which we appreciated. It's just sad because there really are great amenities (except they took away the cups by the coffee machine) and the rooms are spacious, but if I was going to be here for another year I would not resign.

We…read morewere not permitted to see the actual unit before signing the lease because it was still occupied. Instead, my daughter was shown a beautifully maintained model apartment that bore no resemblance to the unit we ultimately received. When we arrived on move-in day, we were stunned by the condition of the apartment. The carpet was heavily stained, the floors were so worn that sections of the subfloor were exposed, and the entire unit was clearly unprepared for new residents. To make matters worse, the roommate assignment completely disregarded the preferences we submitted. My daughter and her friend, both STEM majors, specifically requested studious roommates who did not party or drink. Instead, we walked into an apartment that had clearly hosted a recent party--complete with visible bottles of alcohol. My daughter suffers from allergies and migraines. The smell of weed permeated the apartment upon inspection of the apartment. As it is a trigger for her, we had to quickly leave the premises. Because I live over 800 miles away and had to return to my home state, I had no choice but to immediately secure another place for my daughter to live. The unit was simply unacceptable and uninhabitable. Despite the fact that she never moved in or stayed there a single night, we are still being charged rent and utilities for this apartment. We have paid a reletting fee but it remains empty three months later. This experience has been incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and distressing. I strongly urge prospective residents to demand to see the exact unit they will be leasing and to thoroughly inspect it before signing any agreement.

As a student living in this apartment complex, my daughter experienced firsthand the management's…read morelack of integrity in dealing with residents. They prioritize profit over the well-being of their tenants. Through three supposed management changes in one lease year, the lack of accountability and integrity was simply criminal. I would not recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking for a safe, peaceful living space. The management does not maintain the building, address residents' concerns, or honor their responsibilities. The most egregious and unsafe of all of our concerns is a recent issue with their electronic locks that did not allow a large portion of their tenants their ability to leave their homes and lock doors. Our family had to drive hours to move our daughter into a safer place. Management should have acknowledged the weeks-long issue despite numerous phone calls and visits to their office. Also, management has been known to enter residents' apartments without proper notice or consent. This is a clear violation of privacy and has caused many students to feel uncomfortable in their own homes. I advise any parents or students considering living here to look elsewhere.

We lived here for two years (around 2003 & 2004) in a one bedroom upstairs unit. The location was…read morejust on the other side of Stadium drive from the FSU stadium, so I could walk to class if needed. The rent was mid-range, more expensive than renting from an owner, but cheaper than most of the complexes in the area. They tried to raise the rent about $100.00 every lease. On our second year, it got too expensive and we moved somewhere better for cheaper (Myers Park duplexes on Jennings St.). This was back when there was management on site in the office and the manager had a big drug problem, so he would try to get the rent from us in cash. I did not trust him. Whatever you do, only pay with a check and keep a carbon copy or make a Xerox copy for yourself. Because they tried to say that we did not pay the pet deposit of $400.00 one time, and I had to bring the carbon copy of the check to them to prove I paid for it. This also happened a couple times with the rent, where they said that we did not pay it and wanted to charge us late fees. So, I brought my copy of the check to the office and they looked really stupid. So beware of this, I hope it is not a scam that they run. Some of the neighbors said that they had rats, but we only had three large roaches come inside within two years, which was not bad. I did like that the units were mostly tiled, and the large walk in closet in the bedroom with the washer dryer hook-up in it. I did not like living here during football season, where all of the FSU football game patrons would park all over the lawn and in your space, then proceed to spray-paint and trash the place. This is going to happen regardless, no matter what management there is on it. Just FYI, our electric/water bill was $283.00 a month here for a one bedroom!

First, the room I was assigned to was built with very bad ventilation. I later learned so all of the other rooms in my apartment also fell victim. I'm not exactly sure of the technical terms, but ultimately, the poor bathroom ventilation led to things in my closet becoming moldy. I had to throw away several pairs of shoes and hats. My roommates had to do the same. We also encountered a very large amount of bugs, our apartment was close to the door to get outside so we assumed that was why, but that didn't make matters any better. This really is though your typical college apartment complex. It's over-priced and cheaply made, however we had an absolute blast living here. I made some of my favorite memories here and in all honesty, you can't expect much from an apartment made to house hundreds of college students.
