Terrible treatment of this longtime resident; CONSTANT management changes (3 resident managers and…read moreall new clueless employees in the last 9 months!!!) resulting in gross incompetence, treating residents like children, adding exorbitant fees for THEIR mistakes and lack of communication.. DO NOT LIVE HERE NOW! Bruce, the owner of the management company who " runs" CitySide is uninvolved, uncaring, and a liar. He constantly fires staff who dare to actually take care of residents. So many other great choices downtown. Multiple emails and phone calls unanswered, caste-like atmosphere where the residents are treated as the lowest class. Do not be fooled by the " new" management hype!

Edit- after my review they refunded my cleaning deposit and apologized for the dishwasher…read more I changed to 5 star because I really did love the place. Beautiful pool and common area on the rooftop, comfy bed and close to everything. Thank you!! We stayed in one of the guest apartments while visiting our friends who live here. Loved the location and the fact we had a full kitchen and easy access to all the amenities, especially Publix right across the street! On the down side. We had to buy some trash bags, there was an exposed power strip that was very overloaded and when we opened the dishwasher to look for coffee cups it was full of stale dirty water and mold on the dishes inside. I'd think for the $65 cleaning fee, the place would be clean. Other than that bit of grossness, we enjoyed our stay.

Decided to renew my lease for year 7. The past 3 years they agreed to waive my bike storage fee…read more This year they refused so I told them I would store elsewhere. Without giving me any notice to move my bike they locked me out of the room. They also made no effort to agree to the other terms of the lease renewal. I had to remind them I was supposed to get a free unit cleaning. Currently not seeing any improvement under the new owners either.

Warning: Do not visit this company's website or contact them unless you are absolutely certain you…read moreintend to become a customer. I have never been so overwhelmed by phone calls, emails, text messages, and follow-up attempts from any business. Since Monday, and today is only Wednesday, I have received approximately a dozen emails, half a dozen text messages, and multiple phone calls. Despite repeatedly opting out and unsubscribing through multiple channels, the communications continue. What's frustrating is that this company offers exactly the type of housing I'm looking for. However, I have decided not to do business with them because of what I consider to be an extremely aggressive, inappropriate, and unprofessional marketing approach. Not a single other company I contacted has behaved this way. As a result, I will be leaving a one-star review for every unwanted marketing email I receive going forward. My company is currently relocating several people to this area, and I have already advised all of them to avoid interacting with this company online. The relentless follow-up and apparent disregard for opt-out requests have made the experience completely unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous.

It is ridiculous that they are so strict knowing how the economy has been for the past years. I know for a fact that people with much less income have been approved because they don't even have a credit history for not having lived in the United States long enough. Hopefully I will find a place willing to lease me a home or else Sarasota County Schools will just lose a teacher for not having where to live.

But unfortunately, we have had to call maintenence A LOT for flooding in our apartment from sprinklers. -Neighbors are friendly as far as I've come in contact with -Lots of parking, BUT if you get home past 10PM there may be issues with finding a spot but usually I just park on the curb if this happens and then move my car in the morning and I haven't had any issues with this. -Valet trash comes on time every day they're supposed to so I don't have to bring my trash down to the dumpster everyday -Pretty secure place, which is good and bad. It's hard to get to your front door without a key fob which is great for strangers but all packages go to the mail room which is just an extra step to take. -Quick access to downtown Bradenton/Desoto parade and even the hospital if you needed to go LOL Hate: -The front office staff when I first moved in, in January 2026 was so terrible. They told us our apartment was ready for move in but it was not at all. Our padlock wasn't able to be set up because we weren't in the system yet so we couldn't leave to move all of our stuff in. Stains on doors, hole in bedroom door, freezer dirty, walls had holes all in them (BUT MAINTENENCE MAN CAME THAT HOUR AND FIXED ALMOST EVERYTHING RIGHT THEN, HE WAS AMAZING) -Support beams (I assume) were placed a few months after I moved in on all first floor patios and it's very ugly and annoying and blocks my patio -Mail room: I've had a package stolen and contacted the front office asking them to look at security cameras and help me get it because it showed it delivered to the mail room and they did nothing about it. People even sometimes deliver things to random places around the complex. -It's near the water, so being on the first floor the palmetto bugs when we first moved in were ATROCIOUS. I was scared to be at my own apartment because they were everywhere all the time. I haven't see one in awhile but thatsbecause i went and bought my own stuff from a bug place because the bug guy comes at a random time only on Wednesdays and I'm always at work so he said he wouldn't enter without me there

BEWARE Office staff…read morelead by Hannah are malicious unhelpful and think your children stepping in dog poop is funny. They will sneak bogus charges in your bill without notice. They will tack on fees any chance they get. Hannah will intentionally avoid you at all costs. They will laugh in your face and not respond to you. They will ignore you on purpose and the only way to get any response is by reaching out to corporate and then it's still a 50/50 shot. Apartments are cheaply made. Maintenance and upkeep is awful.
