A huge shoutout to Jeremy from the maintenance team, who recently went out of his way to give me some assistance moving my sofa to my new apartment on the 3rd floor. It is rare to find a team that goes so far above and beyond for their residents. If you are looking for a community with excellent service and a staff that truly cares, I highly recommend Dwell Maitland! read more

I genuinely love living here at Dwell; I've been here for 6 years now! This is the best apartment complex I've ever lived at. The property manager Nikki and the maintenance manager Carlos have a great team put together here. Everyone in the office and maintenance staff are kind, responsive, and hard-working. Maintenance: The whole property is constantly being well-maintained and improved. Everything from preventative AC servicing and changing AC filters for you to common areas being cleaned regularly and even larger projects like resealing the windows for better energy efficiency, etc. I've had a few emergencies while living here (one time my AC broke, and another time my stove was malfunctioning), and Carlos or another staff member promptly answered the on-call maintenance number & fixed it very quickly outside of business hours. Even for routine maintenance requests, this team is on top of it! Always fast, always considerate, and always a great job done. No half-assed repairs. Leasing office: On the office side of things, I've had a great experience too. When I wanted to change from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom unit, the office staff kept an eye out and helped me get a GREAT unit at a good price right across from my previous one. On the rare occasion of a package/mail mix up by whoever the deliverer was, the office corrects it and contacts the residents to let us know. There are consistently little resident appreciation events, holiday events and a Christmas gift wrapping station, game nights, and food trucks that they arrange for us. When negotiating lease prices at move-in, they gave me a discount as a healthcare worker! They've never raised rent by more than $15-20 dollars each year since I moved in; some years there was no increase. There seems to be a lot of care and pride taken in their work and most of all it feels like you're really getting what you pay for: a luxury apartment. Amenities/miscellaneous: The amenities are well-kept and clean. There's a loading area for moving with a dedicated padded elevator which is really nice to have. The two buildings are beautiful and comfortable. The package delivery Luxor lockers are secure and very convenient, I've never had a package stolen or go missing. The sound-proofing is maybe the only thing lacking BUT -- this is an apartment, not a house. You'll have neighbors living all around you and you WILL hear them from time to time, that's just how apartments are. I don't think Dwell is any quieter or louder than the average apartment complex. From some negative reviews I've seen about Dwell's noise, it seems like those are entitled people with unrealistic expectations... Overall, most residents are quiet & respectful and tend to be middle-aged working professionals. Location: This is such a great location to live in Orlando. It's only a few minutes away from the 414/i-4 junction which is so convenient for any commute and you usually don't hear any traffic noise from the apartment even though the highway is just down the road. Just 5-10 minutes north of downtown Orlando, 30-40 minutes from Disney/Universal/International drive, 15 minutes away from Winter Park, and close to several AdventHealth & Orlando Health hospitals. There's a Chick-fil-a two blocks away! ;) I wish I found Dwell Maitland sooner. It's been a joy to live here! The team here makes life less stressful with all the things they take care of automatically and I'm so blessed to have been taken care of by them for the last 6 years! read more

Rude, pushy & tried to manipulate me into rash decisions into paying a higher rate stating room rates increase& change daily..i call bullshit & this fraudulent lying is not the norm when a reservation is secured or quote is given. Unprofessional price gouging is an insult when obvious uneducated piss ant desk help tries to gauge & lie to customer...DO NOT RESERVE ROOMS Here THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN PRICES & ILLEGAL RULES... read more

Great, clean complex and quality unit. The building I'm in is only a couple year old. Although it's a little pricey, the amenities are solid and Nikki is on top of things when it comes to requests, issues, etc. If you can afford it and want a quiet apartment, I highly recommend it. read more

Amazing.. This team of professionals go above and beyond for their tenants. They are prompt, professional and genuinely interested in ensuring you have a great experience within their community. I would recommend anyone who is interested in Dwell to check it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

I recently moved in to the community and for someone who's been in Orlando since 2009 and has moved at least seven times this has been the easiest and smoothest move to date. The property is stunning and very well maintained. It looks and feels like an hotel stay! Safety has always been an huge factor in my moves and this property truly embodies that. From the key fab system to the facility staff presence. Everyone on the Dwell team is exceptional! Their willingness to help and aid surpasses any property management company I have ever worked with. I'd like to give a special shout out to Michele. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would feel as comfortable as I have throughout this entire process. Your dedication to wanting to help has not gone unnoticed. You are an asset to the community and Dwell family. Truly, I am grateful grateful and humbled by this experience. There is still good in the world, trust. I am looking forward to the next year ahead. read more

I lived at Dwell for 5 months, on a short term work contract from last winter to last summer. It was, and still is, the best rental place I have lived. Aside from the fact that it is absolutely gorgeous, it was quiet (aside from expected annoying upstairs neighbor noise) always clean, maintenance was very responsive, and management was fantastic. They answered my repetitive questions (I have been screwed in the past with short term leases - especially in Florida) patiently, over and over, and were very transparent with charges for extending and prorating my lease. I miss this place, and would go back in a heartbeat. read more

The management is fantastic! I would recommend this place to anyone in a heart beat. I lived here for a little less than a year while I was completing an internship in Orlando and I was so sad to leave. The building is great, never had any issues with noise or anything! I felt safe all the time. The office staff was always friendly and personable. You won't regret it! read more

Great place to live. Management team is outstanding, and quick to address and resolve any issues if they are to arise. I only had a couple maintenance requests that I submitted in the year I lived here, and the maintenance team was extremely quick and courteous to fix the issues. Truly the only complaint I have is my neighbor who likes to play loud music and blast his speaker all hours of the day. In all fairness to management. I never complained to them regarding my loud neighbor. The rest of my neighbors were friendly. Just watch out for the speeders who will hit you with their vehicle that work at the business behind Dwell and use Dwell driveway as a cut through. The grounds and the amenities are great. Dwell is a pet friendly community. They do like to hold resident events, which is a good way to meet new people. Communication between the management and the residents are beyond awesome. They put out monthly news letter, hang little treats on your door. Great environment and I am truly going to miss the place. read more

To say I'm disappointed in this apartment complex is an extreme understatement. My husband and I were essentially forced to break our lease due to loud upstairs neighbors. We complained to the property manager for around a month about our upstairs neighbors slamming cabinets and drawers excessively, stomping, just being 100% inconsiderate of us. It sounded like they were moving furniture daily, and they never sat down. Not to mention they were waking me up at 6am Monday-Friday. Which is against the quiet hours ordinance for Maitland. There were also a few Saturdays and Sundays where they'd be banging around at 7am. I had to be put on prescription strength sleeping medication to try and combat them waking me up. After the office called them and sent a "harsh" letter we were told there's nothing more they could do. This was "normal noise" we were hearing and we'd just have to put up with it. If what we were hearing was "normal noise" I'd hate to hear what's loud to them. There has to be little to no insulation between us. Paper thin ceilings and floors. You can hear people opening and closing kitchen drawers, toilets flushing, cabinets being slammed, the washer and dryer running, people walking through the hallways, dogs barking, EVERYTHING. And god forbid if someone above you drops something, it sounds like a 20 pound bowling ball hitting the floor. NOT a peaceful and enjoyable environment. We were paying $1,550/month to hear our neighbors daily living "normal" noises. For that price the office should really do something about noise and sound. Or lower the rent two or three hundred dollars. After losing much needed sleep and sanity we decided to pay the $3,100 to break our lease and move out. It's beyond ridiculous that that's what it came down to. Anyone who moves into #330, you will have the neighbors from hell living above you. It's very apparent that the people upstairs just don't care, and refuse to be decent human beings. Don't bother complaining to the office, they won't do anything about it. They'll say they are, but they're not. Eventually you'll be in the same situation as we were. Save yourself the time, money and sanity, find somewhere quieter and worth the money! read more

I've lived here - still do - for a little over a year and a half. And a majority of the way I feel about this place is very good. When I was originally searching for an apartment - I read about terrible management and maintenance - horror stories about them not assisting when it is truly important or them overcharging for things they shouldn't. But the group here is incredibly polite, always happy to see me. The maintenance team is great - they are incredibly accommodating and respond to requests very quickly. I lived on the fourth floor in 2017 - I loved it up there. I was in the corner of the building - right beside the trash room so tossing garbage was quick and easy. In addition to being beside the elevator it made it all fast and simple day to day. I really enjoyed the floor to ceiling windows we had in that unit. Watching the storms roll in was the best. The unit itself could use some updating - most of it is not a huge deal to me - more aesthetics rather than necessity - however - a newer oven would be something I find a necessity. I'm not sure how old this oven is. But it takes about 25 minutes for it to get to the temperature you set it to. Which is incredibly frustrating. And the dishwasher is ... unpleasant to say the least. It works - I'll leave it at that. Of course none of these things would make me move out. They are annoyances but I don't see them changing them any time soon - because I assume it would be quite expensive to do so. Everything else in the unit is average - you get the normal amount of bugs - as you would in any place. Nothing to make you run away screaming. And not too often either. We did have some leaking after the hurricane last year - but maintenance came and took care of it no problem. The pool is nice - a bit small but nice - maintained overall pretty well. The complex is 2 minutes down the street from Publix, Fuzzy Taco, and Tropical Smoothie. And another five minutes you'll find more stores which is nice. It is about 15 minutes away from the Altamonte Mall so going most normal places is very quick which I appreciate. They recently finished a new building beside the original - haven't been inside but it seems nice. They also put in a small dog park - with a washing station - which I did use and it was awesome. At the beginning of this year I moved into a larger unit with a roommate - it is on the bottom floor, with a pool view. It is nice. However the kitchen is incredibly small and most of my appliances are either in the pantry or stacked above the cabinets. There were other units with bigger kitchens - more cabinet space but small living area so it was a toss up. I feel incredibly bad - now living beneath someone - when I recall living above someone. We did our best to be courteous to our neighbors but we're night owls essentially. Though we made sure to be quiet on the weekdays. However - now living on the bottom floor. I am acutely aware of the ongoings of our upstairs neighbors. It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever experienced. During the week they get up at 6am - and I know this because I HEAR them every day. Stomping around - it honestly sounds like they sleep on an 8 foot tall bed and hop off wearing clogs onto a wood floor. And it is throughout the apartment we can hear pounding, dropping cabinets slamming, like they're moving furniture and failing on the daily. It is not something I blame the management for - but the people who actually designed the building. Luckily - I'm usually up at those times anyways but it's a huge annoyance of mine. The garage is nothing amazing and nothing terrible. However it is a bit cramped in my opinion - and while I'm 21 years old and I like driving fast - the garage is not someplace I would do that. There are a few residents who speed around the corners of the four leveled garage and it is incredibly dangerous - on the nuisance side of things - there is a resident who lives here with a corvette. And they take every single chance they get to rev their engine WHILE inside the garage. Which is just plain rude. I do not care if you have a nice car or not, there are other people, walking around this garage, with their kids or their dogs. And they are forced to listen to - and have their ears abused by this resident. And it has occurred on more than one occasion. One last thing - living here means having Spectrum Internet. That is the most garbage internet provider I have ever had. And there are no other options because Spectrum has monopoly on this place. Their prices are unfair - the service is crap. My internet is incredibly slow and I have their highest MBPS available. THAT is something that is a serious issue for me as I work from home and I REQUIRE good internet. read more

I've been at Dwell for 18 months, and it has been a terrific place to live. The staff here are friendly and responsive, especially the maintenance team. The common areas are super clean and the grounds are well manicured. There's a huge open field right on the property, a clean pool and clubhouse, and a wonderful courtyard with grills and bar tables. The apartments are not accessible from outside; it has interior hallways with nice artwork on all 4 floors. So, why not 5 stars? It is way more expensive than other properties in the area, and even though this place is nice, I don't think it justifies the price. The recycle and trash system is not convenient, and is a bit confusing to know what goes where. The walls between apartments are thin, so you will hear (and be heard by) your neighbors. And one more thing that might seem small, but it's a big problem for me: There are no charging stations for vehicles, and they made it very clear there are no plans to add anytime soon. So if you have an electric or hybrid car, or think you might want one soon, this is NOT the place for you. This will be a major deciding factor on whether I renew. I'd have no problem paying extra for these stations, and their interior parking garage seems well suited for outlets. It seems that an upscale place would be the first to take the plunge and make this improvement that will sooner or later be a routine expectation. Even so, this place is a solid 3 stars. read more

Seems like there is always an inspection, fire alarms, pool cleaning, yard work, etc...going on at the Dwell. There isn't much peace and quite during the day. If you take a day off, you probably won't enjoy staying at your place. Rent keeps going up. In my opinion, the Dwell is taking advantage of the consumer. I have been here for a few years. I stay only for my personal reasons. I just don't like to move and find what the next property has bad to offer. Staff is great. Recently they have a CARES TEAM. The cares team means, rent goes up. They have events here but instead I am having to pay extra each month for my rent. In this down economy, I would rather save money instead of having all these extra things that I don't necessarily have time to attend. Recently the cares team had a pool party. On the Dwell Facebook page, it stated 70 people showed up. Dwell didn't take into account that most of the people were friends of friends OR the Cares Team Friends. The Cares Team said to me, go ahead and invite as many friends as you want. It used to be that you can only invite one friend. They wanted to keep it for residents only. I am pretty much paying for all these extra people. Property is always clean but that is all they do. Requests for service take a while. A guy cleans the pools for hours but can't fix my basic needs. They call this place URBAN living. This IS NOT URBAN LIVING. Urban living means to live within your city. Dwell is on the outside of Orlando near Maitland. That isn't Urban living but the Dwell sells it as URBAN. It is almost false advertising. Nikki the apartment manager is a wonderful person. She is always very helpful. But she can't help everyone out. You will not find a better person. Staff seems to be changing out. New names come in. That isn't ever a good thing. Think twice about paying this type of rent. read more

At first this place seemed awesome, but then you realize how these people nickel and dime you for EVERY little thing. Want a view of the pool, extra $70 bucks, want to park in the VERY empty multiple space garage, $70 bucks, have an extra pet, pay an additional $200 to the already $400 pet fee. Since when does my pet need a job to help pay rent basically?? And they only allow one parking spot per household until you pay them more. Now I would understand this if there was limited parking...but there is nothing but an abundance of parking spots in the garage. And they if you don't want to pay them that fee, there is like 10 spots out front you have to fight for. They force you to place this hideous parking pass on your car and if it wasn't displayed they threaten to remove the car and recorded it for future monitoring purposes. I will never recommend this place to anyone ever again because they don't respect the residents that are there paying overpriced rent as is and find a way to slap on these hidden fees. read more

I lived here for 3 years and really enjoyed it. The apartments are very nice, maintenance always responded quickly (though there weren't that many incidents) and the amenities were great (fitness room, pool, trash chute, recycling, coffee in the club room). I switched from one apartment to the other, and then moved out a year later. Both times I was never charged for any extra "cleaning" fees that a lot of apartments try to do. The thing that I will miss the most though, is how friendly and helpful the manager and her staff were. I have never had such an accommodating landlord before and I never expected it. This place is a little pricey compared to others, but you get what you pay for. If I didn't have to move out of state, I would have stayed at Dwell for sure. read more

Overall, Dwell is a great place to live. For a mid rise building, it's one of the quietest buildings I've lived in, especially for its size. It's like living at a hotel with more accommodations. I basically have no stress living here at all. That in and of itself makes it worth the rent. The grounds are beautiful and both buildings are very well maintained. The building has more controlled access than other communities. The staff is very accommodating and hardworking, though a few of them take the joking around a little too far. Maintenance responds usually within the same day and immediately if it's an A/C or leaking issue. They are very friendly guys with mostly good people skills. The apartments are big and spacious on the inside. As with any apartment complex, there are some minor things that annoy me. Some are fixable and some are more logistical. You have to go to Altamonte Springs, Winter Park, Apopka, or Casselberry for almost everything because not much is on this side of Maitland. I might as well live in one of those areas instead for closer access. The immediate area around Dwell could use more retail development. There's too much construction in the area, the roads are confusing and not as well marked, and it's hard to see at night due to lack of lighting. There are certain things that maintenance will not fix that I've had no problem getting fixed in other communities that I paid the same or less for. This comes across as cheap in my opinion especially having paid market rent. Certain benefits are only available during office hours (e.g. complimentary coffee), which means you don't benefit from that if you're never there during the day. To go along with that, staff often drinks the coffee and utilizes the clubhouse like a break room that should be for residents. For a luxury community, the 8700 building apartments really need to be updated given the price. Many things such as carpeting and fixtures are dated and/or look cheap. Thankfully, it's still a nice experience overall, but they do need a facelift in order to maintain luxury status. Although the building is quiet, the walls between apartments seem thinner than usual. However, neighbors are good about quieting down later into the night. Some of the building's most common practices are not clearly communicated to new residents and are counterintuitive. You only find out with experience. Even with the slight annoyances, I still think highly of the community and staff and would recommend these apartments especially to people who are starting out in Central Florida. read more

We loved this place when we first saw it....and then we moved in and found out what they were all about. I am not one to write reviews but I don't want someone having the experience that we have had. We were told by the lady who showed us the apt that the complex was very pet friendly...I am not sure what she meant by that because one area will be a pet walk area when you walk two feet it states non pet walking area..two more feet you hit a pet area again...it makes no since. Also when people are walking their dogs and see you they turn around with their pet and walk the other direction...I have actually had another neighbor say the same thing to me and tell me that I was the first person who ever stopped to say hi or speak to her while she has lived there. We had lights up on the balcony that were done classy, and we received a note that our patio wasn't up to their standards (regarding the lights) and that we needed to take them down. We did and just figured they only wanted them up during Christmas. Funny thing is another apt has had theirs up all year round and has no signs of taking them down (the exact same lights we did) so in our eyes do they pick and chose who they send notes too...and since when can't you have cute lights on your porch/?? Also people throw anything and everything by the loading dock...it's gross. And while we were living there this guy always seemed to park his car in the loading dock like it was his parking spot...and nobody said a word to him. The staff (maintenance guys) are very friendly, I will say that and the pool is awesome! The place just wasn't for us ..... read more
