I have been here 3 years now. The staff our all excellent and kind and friendly and caring. Drive through the complex and you will see how peaceful and garden like it is there.

Come on in and talk to the management team. See how easy it is to apply and choose a beautiful unit here. Everyone treats you like family. And Terri our manager is just awesome.

Be careful when you move in to report everything and take pictures as we were charged for cleaning as apt was not left in rent ready condition, but we left it in much better condition than how we got it as we had to clean for most of a full day with all the dust and grime. The also charge for little bits and bobs that seemed petty to me. Bottom line it is a quality place to stay albeit pricey, but you need to be on top of reporting issues with them. I would rent again with our eyes wide open to these things. Overall with the property management side I would give the location a B.

The only responsible rating I could give this place is 5 stars. Since my partner and I have moved…read morein in July, the place has only gotten nicer. I always like how they clean and fix things--it's a sign a place is willing and able to improve. The updated 2b2b is great for what you pay for, and it often doesn't even feel like an apartment sometimes. The gym itself is worth a great price per month because it's amazing and always well kept. Basketball courts, car wash, and pool are also good to have, too. The staff at the front desk and the maintenance crew is so friendly. I've never had issues with the people here. I had no choice but to extend my lease! (P.S. you will also have frog friends while living here)

Absolutely not worth the rent. Units themselves are not special, poor insulation meant I could hear neighbors cooking, talking, using bathroom etc. Guest parking is annoying and they contract with a very aggressive tow company. The location is great at least.

The Retreat is a beautifully maintained property with updated amenities. The staff member who gave us the tour took the time to address each of our many questions.

The Appt is not ready even i called early this year to notify them but they gave me the feeling as the reviews said they are money grabbers all they care about taking only money and say NO.

But when they say just no now i have to be wondering why i paid for sth i am not even there!! PLUS they not even helping or giving an attitude that they care about their residents.

I lived in this apartment for almost 3 years and now regret every single one. When I first moved…read morein, the floor was dirty, there was a large crack in the back of the building where ants festered (still there), cracks in the bathtub upstairs, and many stains on the plastic wood flooring. Despite this, we cleaned the apartment and made do. After our initial request to have the tub fixed, it took almost a whole year for maintenance to show up. The only reason they showed up was because I threatened to not renew the lease. They painted over it and sanded it down while we were still in the building making us breathe in the fumes. After a few uses, the tub cracked again because they simply painted over it. Mold was rampant in the building, especially where the tub was because it was also dripping water constantly. There was mold in the sink too. Not only was this a problem, the ceiling was leaking water and took months for maintenance to show up. Other leaks were "fixed" and then when they left I would check and it would still be leaking. This lead me to essentially give up on calling maintenance for the problems that we already wrote in multiple times for. The downstairs toilet would run water constantly unless I manually stuck my hand into the back to reset it. Of course maintenance claimed they fixed it. During an annual inspection, they had the audacity to claim we potentially caused water damage. There was also another instance where they moved and attempted to tow my vehicle when I was busy for a week. Despite this, to their credit, the location of the apartment complex and bus stop is a positive. The internet is fast but also unreliable as there are weeks where it will go down on a daily basis. The front office was really nice and accommodating up until the few days of our lease, when they decided to throw out our belongings before we turned in all our keys and before the lease ended.

The staff is very friendly, professional, consistent, and transparent. Whoever created this team of professionals did an awesome job, it says a lot about them. The amenities are the best. Before moving to Gainesville, this apartment complex is the only one that has a pool that is 9ft deep, there are two tennis courts, racquetball court, basketball court. This is a very quiet and active community. You will find a lot of residents walking and jogging around the property. My neighbors were always respectful. There is ample parking that is free, you don't need a parking pass. The community garden is a plus. The apartments are affordable.

We moved down to Gainesville for residency and we rented an apartment here due to the close…read moreproximity to the hospital. When we moved in, half of the electrical outlets were loose and unusable and 2 out of 4 of the stovetops were not working. Within the first month, one of the bathroom sinks started leaking and the bathroom flooded so they had to bring in an electrical apparatus to clear it and was on for many days which shot up our electrical bill. The windows took months to fix as they were not correctly aligned so that our house was humid and warm from the outside temperature despite turning down the AC all the way. We have found around 5 cockroaches within our apartment (we are very clean people) at separate occasions throughout our 1 year lease. The humidity in the bathroom became so bad that it caused condensation all over the toilet seat and entire toilet even though we stopped using that shower. Furthermore, we moved out over 3 months ago and have yet to collect our security deposit. We have never received any email correspondance or phone call from management and have to reach out ourselves every time. When initially I contacted them about it 30 days after we moved out they told me that the check was sent. I asked again 2 weeks later and then they said sorry the checks were just sent. I contacted them after again after we did not receive it and they mentioned they did not have our address on file. After multiple similar attempts to work this out they asked us to email our bank information to a different email since our mail to our new residence keeps bouncing (we have had no issues receiving mail at our new place. I emailed this "different email" that they wanted us to send the bank account information with just an introduction to confirm that it was the right email and have not received any response. Any chance we have tried to get in contact with upper management about this issue appears to be gatekeeped. I have lived in multiple apartment complexes over the years and have never had such an issue ever. This has been an extremely frustrating process and the lack of communication or updates from their end has been absent.
