Resident, here:
I…read morehave nothing but amazing things to say about my time living at Veere! My partner and I moved to the Orlando area in October '20 and were looking at a number of different properties in the area. If you've ever toured apartments before, you know the typical approach of the leasing agent trying to add pressure on you to get you to submit an application sooner rather than later - this was absolutely NOT the approach I felt here and it was so appreciated by both of us. Victoria was an absolute professional - from the first time we called from the car (although my partner had spoken with her before), I could tell we were in for a wonderful afternoon of touring different units with her. (NOTE: We had some more flexibility when touring apartments - this was, I believe, when movement first began following the COVID-19 shutdowns. I wouldn't be as relaxed regarding submitting my application now - the units have seemingly begun filling up rather quickly, and it's no surprise.)
Victoria was incredibly patient in showing us as many apartments as we requested, and also in understanding that we had a few more days of touring other buildings. Regardless, our thoughts kept shifting back to Veere. The facilities are beautiful, the location is IDEAL, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. When we were getting to the nitty-gritty of deciding which unit we wanted, we were headed back home to Fort Lauderdale and Victoria even took video tours of specific units for us. I mean, what's not to love? The process was made so easy for us, even living several hours away.
FACILITIES: Beautiful! And there's something for everyone. The well-appointed, two-story gym and virtual golf setup aren't exactly my thing (I've never been the athletic type), but the pool, hammocks, fire-pits, and communal living spaces are absolutely up my alley. They're all kept immaculately clean and organized. Even the Clubhouse (the central hub of communal living areas) has a very pleasant, light fragrance that, to this day, still makes it feel like coming home. Also, having your packages kept secure via the Luxer One system is game-changing - no more having your Amazon deliveries stolen off of your front porch... (I'm looking at you, Fort Lauderdale), you're also notified via the app or email when a package has arrived.
LOCATION: My partner and I are theme park enthusiasts, so it's no surprise as to why this location was perfect for us. Regardless, though, it is certainly a wonderful area that's very accessible to many local amenities or to I-4 should your plans require you to go downtown, the airport, or elsewhere. I work in and out of the Orlando International Airport and it's a dependable 20 minute commute regardless of time of day. Admittedly, most restaurants in the immediate area are more chain restaurants, but there is a thirst for some local flair and I have a feeling that, once the surrounding area begins developing more, we will see local places moving in, too. Also, the Target across the street: I'm a MN native (Target's motherland) and I'm OBSESSED with our boutique-style Target across the bridge - my apartment actually looks out at the sign in the distance, which feels homey for me. One is likely not going to do their entire monthly haul there, but there's at least one of everything you need to get you through on a day-by-day basis.
STAFF: It feels weird calling them "staff", to be honest. It sounds cheesy, but they really are like close friends. Not in anyway unprofessional, but they're always welcoming and saying "hello" or asking about your day when they see you in the hallway. There have been times where I've been out of town at work and a package has been delivered to my door (not common, but it can happen from time to time) and one of the folks in the office has emailed or called asking if I consent to them placing them inside my door. It truly makes the entire experience of living here feel very neighborly. And again, they only ever seemed to want what was best for us when we were touring apartments. That isn't something I've felt with a lot of rental properties, and as someone with awkward anxiety, I absolutely appreciated their patience when it came to us making a big step during a big move.
In conclusion... I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! Seriously, I mean it when I say my move to Orlando has completely shifted my views on living in Florida, and my home is the foundation where I made that change happen. PLEASE consider checking out their website, calling, or stopping by at some point if you're interested in the area. I always semi-joke with my partner that I wish we could have just bought our beautiful apartment. Renting will have to suffice for now. :D :D
