We just renewed our lease at the Metropolitan. My wife and I relocated from NYC to Florida almost a…read moreyear ago. When we first started hunting for apartments, we had viewed many of the high-end rentals in downtown FLL but were pretty disappointed with our options. Many were clearly lacking in community, some had a weird "college bro" vibe, and others were missing that modern style and charm we wanted.
However, we were pleasantly shocked when we discovered the Metropolitan. We knew right away we could call this place "home". Living at the Metropolitan has exceeded our expectations, and we love it here!
The entire complex is *brand new*. The facilities and amenities (pool, gym, grills, park, etc) are high quality, in pristine condition and well-maintained. The units themselves are gorgeous with brand-new appliances, spacious open floorplans, and modern/minimalistic design.
The staff are so professional, friendly and responsive. I love that they make a real effort to know all of their residents (I think they know everyone's names!). Also, they always host free community events for residents which are awesome (cocktails by the pool on Sundays, sushi night, paella night, food truck night, etc to name a few).
I remember they took incredible care of the residents especially during Hurricane Irma, and were so communicative with updates to evacuees.
The location is terrific - walking distance from Wilton Dr., less than 10 mins drive to the beach, only 5 mins drive to major highways, and a short walk to the Alchemist and other great restaurants. Colohatchee Park is adjacent to the complex and a great place for a walk, to take your dog, or go kayaking/standup paddleboarding in Wilton Manors' canals.
In short, there's a very good reason why they are always near 100% occupancy. People love it here!
