I looked at many places but I fell in LOVE with the apartment as soon as I seen it. I applied the…read moresame day and thanks to Stephanie the application process was so smooth. She was such a gem, she kept me updated throughout the whole process and made sure I was always in the loop so I'm not left guessing or worried. I have ZERO complaints and I've been loving my new home.

AS A RESIDENT Pros:…read more *friendly and knowledgeable staff who build a relationship with you *very well maintained property -- it always looks pristine *amazing amenities -- pool, game room, cardio room + weight room, wine bar, covered garage available, valet trash 5 days/week *multiple monthly resident events *resident portal for easy payment and maintenance *each unit is thoroughly and regularly maintained by the staff, including fire/smoke detector checks, fire extinguisher checks, AC filter replacements, dryer vent cleanouts, etc. *elevators available *very pet friendly including a dog wash room *carpet only in the bedroom Cons: *the other residents -- I don't know what it is, but everyone who lives here is very rude, entitled and inconsiderate of their neighbors. *people don't respect quiet hours -- I was consistently woken up to vacuuming and furniture moving above me anywhere from 2am-6am. And likewise, other people didn't haven't realistic expectations for regular living sounds during daytime hours. The person below me would bang on his ceiling for "rolling things" in the middle of the afternoon. *people don't respect that it's a non-smoking community -- my next door neighbor smoked so much weed in his apartment that it would infiltrate mine through the walls and vents. *pet friendly community, but very disrespectful pet owners -- it's a pretty small community with A LOT of dogs. The walking area is always covered in dog poop even though bags are provided. *elevators available but not always working -- sometimes one is out of service for weeks at a time *there's only 2 exits for each building which didn't seem like an issue until living in it, especially with the dog situation *package room is always chaotic, unorganized, and deliveries left in the wrong building *these apartments are too expensive and the staff work too hard for your fellow residents to make such a negative impact, but here we are. AS AN OFFICE RENTER Pros: *clean and professional office area *shared kitchenette/break room with a microwave and fridge *access to all community events and amenities listed above (except valet trash) *leasing office promotes your business to the residents *free coffee machine to offer your clients *conference room *guest WiFi available Cons: *residents are SO loud above you *conference room is first come, first serve *conference room was not sound proof (the noise from residents and music playing in the lobby was pretty distracting in a meeting). *separate entrance to the building through the office spaces, however, it is completely blocked by landscaping so you have to walk around anyway making that door kind of pointless

Definitely do not like how all the 2 bed apartments are upstairs and all 1 bed are downstairs. Aside from that, been here since mid-2021 and it's a pretty quiet area. Maintenance is generally prompt on requests. Security patrols around on a cart during the night. They also have a pool, gym, tennis and volleyball courts for amenities. Onsite laundry room. Minus the thin ceilings, overall a good community.

We've had multiple problems, the latest being our bldg caught on fire on 6-19-26, due to negligence on the apartment complex. They had warnings, we lost power several days before the fire, the electricians that came out supposedly fixed the problem. This bldg has had multiple wiring issues for over a year and come to find out, it wasn't just our unit, several of the units have had wiring issues. instead of correcting the issue properly and by code standards they cut corners to save a dollar. The firefighters who came out called RedCross for the 8units they were dis-placed. The apartment complex did nothing for 6 of the 8units, they offered 2 model homes to 2 families, the other 6 units, they offered an empty unit for ppl to sleep in, I guess they were expecting people to move at 7pm at night or sleep on the floor??? No power for days, all food in fridge/freezer had to be thrown out. The worst thing about this whole situation...well Since this has happened, not one person from the complex has called/text or emailed to check on the displaced residents. They sent out a generic email saying they will keep up informed on the situation, no apologies, no well wishes, absolutely nothing from them! The decent thing would have been to reach out and check in and see how everyone was doing. But NOPE! Not to mention they take the weekends off so there's no one to get information from. The actual complex manager cannot ever be reached, they won't even give out her email! We've had gutter issues for months they keep saying they'll fix, they never do, we have holes in our ceiling from water leaks in the roof never been fixed! When asked about compensation for all the lost food, she replied, we'll talk next week! Like seriously, I need food before that, we had just spent over $400 at the grocery store, now all gone! But, Im glad they had a nice father's days weekend off!! If the gentleman who lived in complex next to breaker box was not home at the time, the whole bldg would be gone! And when he went to tell them something was wrong, the maintenance guy wouldn't listen to him, he looked behind the dryer thinking it was that. The resident had to tell him no, listen, look at the smoke, the maintenance staff is just as incompetent as the office staff lacks in decency! DO NOT RENT HERE!!! Go somewhere else

Unfortunately, there is not much good to say about the Station House at Lake Mary. They deleted…read moretheir old Yelp profile due to the number of bad reviews and created this new profile earlier this year, they also removed the reviews section from their Facebook page because of the negative reviews there. The buildings have been bought by a new management company who is nearly as incompetent as the last one. The management does not respond to messages in a timely manner and I don't think they do walkthroughs of the property, EVER, as there are issues like trash cans left in hallways, parts of the building falling off and laying on the floor for weeks on end, etc. Yesterday I went down to the parking garage and nearly broke my neck when I slipped on a flooded floor because the parking garages LITERALLY drain THROUGH the doors to the building, you have to open the doors with water coming down them and walk through a waterfall to gain access to the parking garage. The parking garage itself is so poorly constructed I think it rains more in there than outside when it's raining. There are also cars that people have abandoned in the parking garage over a YEAR ago that are still sitting there, flat tires, dust so thick that people write on it. Unfortunately every time they say things they are going to get better, and they might for a few weeks, but then back to the old ways. If you are looking at moving, I recommend that you talk to some of the actual residents who have been here for a while before doing so.

My apartment is in exceptional shape and well maintained and I love all of the storage space. The amenities and landscaping are kept up wonderfully and centrally located for easy access. I can walk to the Sun Rail in moments and it is located in the middle of the city of Lake Mary. I would like to add that the Robbins Property Associates group has worked with me to find a win-win solution for any bumps in the road during my stay. Stephanie and Eleana consider it their pleasure to work with me and they have always respond so quickly to any questions or concerns that I may have had this past year. I recommend Station House at Lake Mary if you are looking for an apartment. It is really a lovely place and an exceptional staff.

Why hasn't my complaint about the apartment utilities being fixed, if you do not know Spanish, I advise you to learn it, because when you walk in there, even though they all know English very well. They will lie to you and tell you they don't know English, I've seen this and then when you leave they would laugh and talk about you behind your back. I don't usually complain but the staff before this one should've just stayed, because I can guarantee you they may have a lawsuit from somebody or they will cause somebody to get hurt or they're going to cause that building to be shut down. I'm reaching out to the company to give them a heads up what's going on in their business. I think you

I absolutely adore living at regatta shores!! The leasing…read morestaff are outstanding. They are so friendly and so considerate. The maintenance staff have been called out to my apartment a few times during the year to fix a few things here and there and have ALWAYS arrived in a very timely matter. I have never had to wait longer than 24hours for them to come out which is fantastic service. I HIGHLY recommend this community to literally anyone! Whether it's your first apartment, a chance to be closer to work or if even if you're going into retirement! Ugh, I just all around love,love, LOVE this place and will be so heartsore when the time comes for me to move a little closer to work once my lease ends :( P.s to the leasing team; if you guys ever read this please know that you are absolute shining stars, and are really the cherry on top of this wonderful community. Thank you for everything :)

Do not rent from Regatta Shores. Some aspects of the rental experience, such as additional monthly…read morefees and flooding-related issues, were not made clear until after the lease was signed. Parking fees, despite no assigned spots, and mandatory pest control charges were not clearly communicated. Trash overflowing from the dumpsters weekly, despite a monthly trash fee. There was a persistent mold smell in ground floor units, including ours following flooding prior to our move in that was not disclosed. Communication from property managers was inconsistent, and support to renters was limited. My overall impression was that the management approach prioritized profit, looking for any and every opportunity to extract money from tenants, and provide as little as possible in return. Ultimately my experience was frustrating and dehumanizing. Avoid this place at all cost. Update: 01/23/2024 I want to acknowledge UDR's response to my initial review below to say that it misses key issues. My main concern with the extra fees was what I saw as a lack of clarity and the scope of those fees not being fully disclosed until lease signing, forcing what I saw as a 'take it or leave it' situation. If they want to take the approach of an "all fees are listed on the website and in the contract" response, then fine. However, it doesn't address the misleading impression their approach gives. So, for those looking to rent, keep in mind that the rent advertised by UDR isn't the total cost you will be expected to pay them. Extra fees can greatly add to what you owe, making your total monthly costs higher than what the advertised rent suggests. Also, in their response UDR ignored other problems I mentioned, like unguaranteed paid parking, ongoing trash issues, and poor communication, including a surprise early move-out inspection. They only addressed the mold smell which they imply they attempted to address adequately. We will agree to disagree on that. Even disregarding many of my other criticisms, the photographic evidence of overflowing trash alone should have been embarrassing, yet they failed to acknowledge that in their response. How they've reacted here should give you some indication of what to expect should you choose to move there.

I've lived here for about 6 months now. A few months prior to that, Topaz Riviera got new…read moremanagement. The property is a bit older, but the new managers seem sincere about improving the place, including customer service. At first, I had a very bad leak from my bedroom window. It took a while to get fixed because the first contractor they used could not solve the problem. After finally switching contractors, the problem was solved. I also had a number of smaller issues, but the property manager, Jeff Hatton, took care of all of them. He's a good one! When you combine the terrific location with the reasonable price and the ever-improving living standards (I've never had any pest issues here), then Topaz Riviera becomes a really attractive place to live!

While Topaz Riviera has a great view of the water, the ongoing pest issues make it hard to enjoy…read moreliving here. We've had a rat problem since December, and despite submitting multiple maintenance requests--including a recent one from my husband--no action has been taken. We've had to catch multiple rats ourselves (photo attached) because there has been no proper pest control response. Additionally, trash is often left on the stairs, making the complex look unkept. Another issue is the sprinklers near my window, which spray out water with a strong, unpleasant odor, especially in the mornings. This place has potential, but the lack of maintenance and management response is disappointing. I hope these concerns are taken seriously because residents deserve a cleaner, more livable environment.

If you're looking for a "luxury" apartment complex, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere…read more Our dishwasher stopped working, and for nearly three months management and maintenance repeatedly told my wife and me that nothing was wrong with it. We were essentially dismissed every time we reported the issue. Eventually, the dishwasher began smoking and filled our apartment with smoke and fumes. Because the front office never answers their phone, I had to call the fire department to inspect the situation. The fumes were so bad me and my wife had to spend the night in a hotel while the apartment aired out. The next day, I went to the leasing office in person and was again treated as though the issue wasn't a big deal. It wasn't until I flagged down a maintenance employee driving by on a golf cart and demanded someone take a look that they finally acknowledged the dishwasher was defective. Even then, it took additional months before it was replaced. Maintenance supervisor does nothing the majority of the day and leaves early most days. Anytime I have had an issue the front office assures me the maintenance supervisor will stop by or call me. In which he never does. Easily the worst apartment complex i've lived in for the prices they charge. Based on mine and many other reviews I'm genuinely confused as to how the maintenance supervisor still has job here, but I guess the bar must be pretty low. Beyond that, the property seems to be in a constant state of construction, creating ongoing noise and inconvenience. Along with the gate which always seems to be broken. On top of that, the smell of marijuana is a daily occurrence throughout the complex. For the prices they charge and the "luxury" branding they advertise, the level of service and living experience falls far short of expectations. Save yourself the frustration and consider other apartment communities before signing a lease here
