Before my girlfriend and I left 2 months ago, Metropoois became a dump. You're lured in by what appears to be a swanky place in the heart of Dadeland, then you soon realize that you made a huge mistake. Fortunately we rented as we wanted to test the water as we might have considered buying, but thankfully we left when our lease was up. Let me spell out a few complaints about Metropolis: 1) Noise, noise, noise. Every weekend, it seems that there's a frat party going on in the pool area on the 8th floor. The walls are also really thin so you hear every noise your neighbors make. 2) Management are rude, especially towards renters. The manager himself is a shining example of this and his staff are equally rude. 3) Security are useless and only seem to be there to harass anyone visiting you, rather than do their job and crack down on the frat-like behavior of many of the residents. They are also extremely rude and incompetent. 4) The parking garage is a deathtrap because many of Miami's finest reckless drivers seem to live in Metropolis, treating the garage as a NASCAR circuit. 5) The appliances in the apartments have a tendency to break. 6) The association tried to extort an "elevator deposit" when we moved out even though we signed nothing to this effect, had no contract with them and they already had $1,400 of our money as a deposit anyway (I refused to pay). Add to that, the rents and the values of those aparments is ridiculously high, being as that whole area has little to offer, other than it's proximity to the Metrorail and a Publix on its doorstep. Nowhere to walk, hence the fact that you see people walking their dogs in Publix car park. For the same money, you could find a place in Brickell, Downtown or even Miami Beach, where you'll be closer to the water and will have amenities around you, not just Publix and Burger King. Metropolis: you were not so bad until you became a UM dorm room.

He vivido por tres a os en Metropolis 1 y experiencia ha sido positiva. el edificio esta bien mantenido. Los vecinos sonmuy indepedientes, no escuchauno a los otros. La seguridad es buena. Ahora tiene camara hasta en los ascensores. Es unlugar muy practico donde uno puede ir caminando a hacer practicamente todaslas diligencias. El Publix est a Walking distance,la lavanderia que es muy buena esta en el mismo edificios y el metro tambien se pude ir caminando y estar en muy poco tiempo en Brickell o en Downtown. Dadeland esta enfrente ya muy poca distancia estan Target, Besty Buy ,yon Sports Authority y Bed bath and beyong.

We moved to Metropolis back in 1997 -- it was very different back then. It was quiet, few people were living here and there were hardly any problems, so to speak of. Fast forward two years, this place has become extremely "------". A lot of college students and rather unsavory people have moved in, which has adversely affected the quality of life here for the normal, respectable residents. Anyway, let me break down the "problems" of Metropolis for you: - Drunken / loud people in the pool @ all hours. The rules state that people aren't supposed to use the pool after dark, but people not only use the pool, but they act like imbeciles down there, screaming, hollering and playing music. Security won't do a thing about it, neither will management. - People speeding through the parking garage like it's the Grand Prix. Now I know this is Miami, home of the reckless, careless driver, but speeding through a parking garage simply isn't cool. I have had so many near misses, witnessed a couple of crashes. The valet here are some of the worst culprits -- do not let them anywhere near your car, if you're a guest. - Paper thin walls, which means you literally hear your neighbors fart next door. Come to think of it, our neighbors are loud anyway and constantly play loud music with bass and again, neither security or management will do squat about it. - Ridiculous rules & regulations, e.g. demanding that if you move out, you leave an $800 deposit for any "damage" you may cause the elevators. - Shoddy construction, faulty appliances. Fortunately, I only rent here, but if I'd paid in excess of $250,000 for a 1BR condo (that is the minimum these holes in the wall were going for, prior to the recession), I'd feel robbed of $249,999 of my hard earned / borrowed cash. Of course, Metropolis is not unique in its ability to both suck and blow at the same time -- it is so typical of many other condo/apartment complexes in Miami.
