Tenant Reviews for 5077 NW 7TH ST

This is management at its worse. I personally didn't realize this, outside of ridiculous fees, until the "chemist" that blew up his apartment causing the whole building to be evacuated for 4 days situation. During these 4 days, management did not try to help out at all. The best part was they still made us pay for the 4 days that we were out and Sara, the manager, seemed to not be discomforted at all. <br><br>The fees get even better. If you have more than one car, expect to pay 50 for an outside spot or another 100 for another garage space.<br><br>Start up fees (all nonrefundable):<br>Move In Fee = $250.00<br>Administrative Fee = $350.00<br>Application Fee = $200.00<br>---------------------------<br>$800 you will never see again<br> deposit equal to your rent<br><br>The "chemist" situation brings us to the next point...Security. Background checks were supposely done but the "chemist," who was listed as a resident, had two previous arrests (one for possessing bomb making materials). Either the background check wasn't done or they looked the other way to allow him to move in; this made us weary that other residents like the chemist might still live here. Now to the front security... only one or two know English. They don't point out guest parking spots so guests park in resident spots. If you tell them someone is in your spot, they give the decency to call the person of the car and give them amble amount of time to go downstairs and move it; thus making you wait an extra 10 minutes for this to happen. Remember you paid 50 dollars a month for that spot. <br><br>If you don't mind all that, the apartments/condos are nice and big. They have a nice full size gym with free weights and pool.<br><br>I don't plan on renewing my lease here because of management.

If you even think of moving there, have someone slap some sense into you! The manager, Sara, runs a little dictatorship that generates moneys for her pockets as she skims off the top for things like parking and "incidental" fees. She is unreasonable and unprofessional.<br><br>And now, after the BLUE LAGOON BOMBER has struck, they have no compassion for the other people in the people in the building. There is no sympathy, much less financial relief for those innocents who were kicked to the curb for 4 days while Sara sat there, almost amused at the whole situation as it unfolded. Don't rent here and don't let your friends rent here.

Although the amenities are nice and pretty, the apartments themselves are built with cheap materials. The management is unbelievably incompetent and slow to respond to anything. The location next to the airport makes it very noisy and the people that live here love to have parties all the time with no consideration to their neighbors. I have rented in 4 different large cities before and this is the ONLY time I have ever been dissatisfied; that's how bad this place is. Don't be fooled by it's pretty pictures. For the "luxury" price you pay you are getting ripped off.

It looked nice and when I first visited this condominium I was very impressed by the amenities. As soon as I moved in I started to change my mind. A lot of noisy, rude people have moved in. Employees are not good. Security is horrible and its supervisor, that fat man with a limp just live there and he befriends all the bad guys, so if you call security to complain about a resident and it happens that resident is friend of that guy George you can be sure nothing is going to happen to the bad guys. Cleaning people are lazy and do nothing. They just bring their fishing gear and fish on the lagoon on working hours. People from all over just drive or walk in, towel around their neck and go to the Gym or pool. <br>Drug dealers do their business with the complicity of Security personnel.<br>The worst of the worst is that ugly, fat, rude woman Sara. She thinks she is the queen of the place. <br>If you are an owner you have to comply with a lot of rules, like scheduling a move in date and time, pay a security deposit of $ 500 and a move in fee of $ 250.<br>If you are a tenant and rent with that Sara, you can move in at any time, even 2 or 3A.M., and pay nothing.<br>There have been a few car theft and vandalism. Of course Security is playing computer games at the Gate house and don't bother doing their job.<br>Noisy people play loud music, balconies doors wide open late night. They do not work (making illegal money perhaps???) and the rest of us, regular working guys can't sleep because of the noise. Again...try to call Security, lol....<br>

The place is excellent and it looks like a high class community with all the amenities. The problem is just that a few of those occupants are noisy, uneducated and THE MANAGER SARA is the nastier person in the world. I do not know what she think she is but I am tired of her being rude. You never get to talk to her on the phone. If you leave a message she never calls you back. If you ask for an appointment she is never available and if you show up without an appointment expect to be treated like you are the worst piece or garbage.<br>More control, a different management and gettin rid of those security guards that favor their own friends is a must for this community to become a nice place to live.
